Switch 2 Needs More Games
Nintendo Is Slowly Upping The Ante
The Switch 2 launched with just one major first-party title:Mario Kart World, a game surrounded by controversy due to its$80 price tagoutside the Switch 2 launch bundle.Donkey Kong Bananzahas been released since then to glowing reviews and is a seriousGame of the Year contender, but other than that and some stellar ports, likeCyberpunk 2077, theSwitch 2 doesn’t have the most compelling library of games right now.
That being said, it appears the back half of 2025 is going to be pretty exciting for fans with lots of games to play on their shiny new console.Hollow Knight: SilksongandMetroid Prime 4finally being playable to the public atGamescom, as well asPokémon Legends: Z-AandHades 2, might be a huge boon for the Switch 2, and there’s likely going to be a lot of demo impressions to dissect afterwards.
