What drought?

Just this year so far it's gotten Pokemon Pokopia, Resident Evil Requiem, 7, and Village, FF7 Intergrade, Kena Bridge of Spirits, Mario Tennis Fever, Fatal Frame 2, Monster Hunter Stories 3, Reanimal, GRID Legends, South of Midnight, Blue Prince, A Midnight Walk, Yakuza Kiwami 3, Super Meat Boy 3D, etc, and in the next couple of months it's getting Pragmata, 007 First Light, Indiana Jones, Yoshi and the Mysterious Book, FF7 Rebirth, The Adventues of Elliot, High on Life 2, Tales of Arise, Denshattack, Mouse PI for Hire...

That's not remotely comparable to the N64 which often had only a handful of games spaced out over months.

Could have saved yourself some time if you read the post more closely. I said FOR ME. Also Yakuza 3 is a rotten remake. I either have those games elsewhere or they don't interest me. I'm waiting for the new Xenoblade. Bayonetta. Astral Chain kinda stuff. Nothing like that has been announced. No arcade ports or Shmups been announced I can't get on Switch 1 still. 

Oh it's fair enough if it doesn't have the specific games you're looking for, I was just discussing the two situations as they seem radically different to me, that's all.

Honestly it feels like what a Switch Pro could have been, but dialed up to 11, just with a terrible display and battery life. (And that's not a bad thing, except for the display and battery life.)

Otherwise the WiiU is probably where it's closer aligned to in terms of capability, both being TV and Handheld functionality, both being "HD" consoles and both sharing a chunk of library in the cross-gen crossovers. (Breath of the Wild, Mario Kart 8 and other enhanced Switch ports.)

Yeah there really is no drought unless you are fixated on only a very narrow subset of games, but by that token the first year of PS5/XBSS sucked too. 

2026 already has Pokopia, Monster Hunter Stories 3, Resident Evil 9, FF7 Intergrade, Mario Tennis, Yakuza Kiwami 3, and Pragmata, 007 First Light, Indiana Jones, and Yoshi coming as you stated. 

That's easily better than any Nintendo console IMO in the Jan-June period following their first holiday since the Super NES I would say. Capcom in particular is doing work with RE9, Pragmata, and MH Stories 3 in rapid succession. FF7 Remake and then FF7 Rebirth is June 2026 also from Square Enix and some Dragon Quest VII Reimagined as well. 

Switch 1 Jan-June 2018 was Kirby Star Allies, Nintendo Labo, port of DK: Tropical Freeze, Bayonetta 1/2 ports, and Hyrule Warriors Wii U port. I think Wolfenstein II had released right at the tail end of June 2018. 

Switch 2 is going to be light years better than that. 

Really Switch 2 is mopping the floor with the Switch 1's 2018, Wii's 2007, DS' 2005, N64 1997, and GameCube's 2002 Jan-June period.

You probably have to go back to the Super NES, the Super NES got Contra III in March 1992, Zelda: A Link to the Past in April 1992 (new Zelda) and then Street Fighter 2 in July 1992 (stretching past June a bit). That was a killer 1-2-3 though.

That's the last time a Nintendo system had a Jan-June period this strong after it's first holiday season. 2018 was kind of a lame year for the Switch honestly, but salvaged by Smash Bros Ultimate in December 2018. 

Feels like 3DS.

DS > 3DS / Switch > Switch 2- almost the same gimmick, Just more powerful hardware. Also, Same name, they just add a number

Switch 2 mops the floor with the 3DS library wise though, third party wise especially. 

You weren't playing things like Resident Evil 9, Pragmata, FF7 Rebirth, 007 First Light, Indiana Jones, etc. etc. etc. on the 3DS circa 2012 (similar point in the product cycle). 

DS is overrated in this comparison too, the Switch 2 murders the DS lineup circa fall 2005, DS really didn't start to cook fully until very late 2005 and into 2006 really. 

Yeah it feels most like SNES to me as well in terms of getting good third party support, being a straightforward "same but stronger" successor and being reasonably powerful.

I would agree with Leynos, for me the S2 has a massive drought as well. The vast majority of games are available elsewhere and on significantly more powerful hardware. My S2 hasn't been turned on since Dec via Prime 4. But games are coming. FE is up next for me.  

The S2 is getting really good 3rd party support, especially compared to recent Nintendo hardware, but i bought 7 remake 4 years ago.  O have already bought and beat Arise twice.  I am also waiting for stuff like Bayo, 3D Mario, etc.  

I think it feels really unique but if I had to pick one system it most closely resembles that would be the SNES, as it's the successor to a very successful console, has the same fundamental design principles applied and is basically a beefier version of the Switch 1. And I think that's a good thing, Nintendo needed this.
