Switch 2 is rumoured for 2024, but what could be launch titles? Metroid prime 4 would be a candidate, but might not a be a system seller.

A new 3d Mario could be a possibility, given wonder is a 2.5d and another team might be working on something.

Zelda - we’ve just had totk released so that seems out.

Mario kart 9 could be a system seller.

Splatoon 3 was only recently released.

What else could be lined up for a launch window, assuming a 2024 release? Maybe 2024 is less plausible 🤔

    If you look at the Switch titles:

    1-2-Switch - Some game to show off new features.
    Just Dance 2017
    The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild - Cross gen game.
    Skylanders: Imaginators - Merch game.
    Super Bomberman R
    I Am Setsuna
    Tokyo RPG Factory
    Snipperclips - Another new feature game.
    Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove - Shovelware
    Shovel Knight: Specter of Torment - Shovelware
    Fast RMX

    I could see either a new Mario game launching on the Switch and Switch 2, maybe a Metroid game instead. Zelda will be too old and played out by then, but then Zelda fans love buying the same game over and over.

        Ported from another platform with little to no effort?

        It’s the literal definition of shovelware.

        The Switch was literally the last of 11 platforms it launched on.
