Guessing The Nintendo Switch 2 Launch Lineup

  • The nintendo switch 2 will probably not be launching in 2024, and the reasons for that might be actually…pretty good.
    I think a solid launch for new hardware is imperative in this day and age, and seeing Nintendo trade in the holiday season sales for better/more games at launch is a trade off I’m happy to see.
    But with that said, what games might actually make it to launch?
    A new Metroid? Mario? Animal Crossing? Something else?
    Today I’m gonna take some guesses.
    also the new pokemon z or whatever

    Don’t want to uhmmm actually but the “Nintendo switch systems” has been used by TPC in the past to just refer to the switch and it’s iterations. It’s also highly unlikely you would ever see gamefreak develop a launch title, they just don’t do that. Historically they’ve always stuck to releasing on the predecessor console during a new consoles launch year.

    Nintendo is in an awkward spot with a lot of their franchises.
    Super Mario Odyssey is now older than 3D world was when odyssey came out.
    Splatoon 3’s release date makes a new entry on a new console early on look bad but splatoon 2’s success was largely because of early adoption.
    And of course, it’s looking more and more like Metroid prime 4 is becoming to the switch what BOTW was to the Wii U.

    If they hit us with:

    • a new Mario Kart
    • a gimmick game for casuals (Wii Sports, 12 Switch)
    • something for more hardcore fans (Metroid Prime 4)
    • Pokémon Legends
    Within the first year, then it’ll do fantastic.

  • @gogongagis3395
    @gogongagis3395 6 месяцев назад +4

    Agree with almost everything, disagree with just a couple:
    - Mario Party as system seller. Very dubious. This is the same mistake as we’ve seen TV rights holders make, assuming that a show that gets streamed a lot could also drive subscriptions to their own service. Mario Party is the equivalent of a popular reality show that does big numbers. If people have the system they’ll buy it, but they won’t buy the system FOR it.
    - Metroid NOT a system seller. It is. You’re right in that it wouldn’t drive numbers like a new Zelda or Mario, but the brand is the most popular it’s ever been, and the love among its target audience is so strong that it would absolutely drive early adoption among the more “hardcore” crowd that Nintendo definitely wants to retain.

    My guesses are new mario kart, new ip (kinda like arms or splatoon), the obligatory tech demo game (like wii sports and 1-2 switch), something from intelligent systems, maybe a new 3d mario game and maybe a remaster of a popular game like windwaker and twilight princess
    -The zelda team just launched totk
    -The 2d mario team just launched mario wonder
    -the animal crossing/splatoon team is currently making the final updates to splatoon 3 so I doubt they would release anything within the first year of the "switch 2"
    -metroid isnt a heavy hitter for nintendo so unless the game is completely finished i doubt they would rushed it out for the first year of the console
    -smash since brawl is always a mid gen game so unless they have been working on it since sora release i doubt its releasing anytime soon
    -next level games is going to remaster luigis mansion 2 this year so idk if they are going to release something in 2025

    They're going to do the same as they did for the Switch and methodically release a lot of good games within its first year. They'll have a heavy hitter during launch and then stagger new big releases every few months. Breath of the Wild, Mario Kart 8, Splatoon 2, ARMS and Super Mario Odyssey all released within the first 8 months of the Switch's life up to Christmas and was pretty instrumental in driving its success. Releasing everything all on launch day would just be a bad idea

    @Hugsloth 6 месяцев назад +1

    5:10 I believe Nintendo were pretty open about the fact they were releasing all these old courses as remastered DLC bundles in MK8, because MK9 is currently in development. Presumably they want to focus on new courses and dumped as many classic courses into 8DX as possible so people wouldn't beg for them in 9.

  • @mxcokoko
    @mxcokoko 6 месяцев назад +1

    I could see a new 3D Mario game being a launch title on the Switch 2, or at least something like a bundle of Odyssey-Wonder with an announcement/teaser of a new 3D Mario game for the 2025 holiday season. Big launch title would probably be MK9. Probably lots of teasers for games coming out later in the holiday season with 3rd party support and indies driving it forward. Maybe a curveball of a new Kirby game or Black/White remakes or, hell, a new Paper Mario in the style of 64/TTYD depending on if the remaster sells well. I can totally see them teasing an F-Zero game of some kind in whatever Direct they announce the Switch 2 in though.

  • @spacecocolocotoco5120
    @spacecocolocotoco5120 6 месяцев назад +1

    Personally think that a new 3d Mario and a new animal crossing are going to be the new big first party and that Nintendo is going to fill the lineup with backwards compatibility like with TOTK and other games but also re release them for those that didn’t buy them on the switch or it’s their first Nintendo console and also maybe a new IP in the following months or right on release

  • @cavemanbuddyolpal

    New Animal Crossing (Nintendo)
    Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages and Seasons Remake (Grezzo)
    Golden Sun 4 (Camelot)
    Metroid Prime 4 (Retro) (It'll have been six years since the restart. It just...feels right, because of that.)

    Yeah a lot of people think that Metroid Prime 4 will be a launch title, but I don't see that happening. Metroid has never been, a likely never will be a system seller. Everyone knows who Mario is, only dedicated fans knows who Samus is. With that in mind making MP4 a launch title would only hurt the initial sales of the Switch 2 which are some of the most important sales for a console to get it off the ground.
    Still I have little doubt that Metroid Prime 4 will be the most successful Nintendo game ever made, but the Switch 2 needs to be a success for that prediction to happen.

    I feel like GameCube on nso isn't going to happen not just because of storage issues but because they know they can just sell them individually. Like they're not going to just give you Luigi's mansion it's totally going to get remastered for $60 during the build up to Luigi's mansion 4. It's not just Nintendo though everyone has kinda reached that conclusion. Namco has games on nso but those PS2 era klonoa and katamari games got $50 retail released remasters. Final fantasy 10 and 12 got real remasters but 1-6 are in a bundle ect.

    I'm pretty certain the new console will have the next 3D Mario, Mario Kart 9, and Metroid Prime 4 within it's first 6 months or so, but I think 3D Mario is the best candidate for a launch title. Purely as a showcase game and something people would be interested in, Metroid Prime 4 would make practical sense as a pick for launch, but the biggest problem for me is that it's really hard for me to imagine Nintendo launching a new console is a T-rated FPS as the marquee title. At the very least I could only imagine it paired with something like Mario Kart.
    That being said, considering there's now Pokemon Legends Z-A announced for 2023 conspicuously without gameplay (definitely leaving the door open for it being a crossgen launch title), I could actually imagine Nintendo going for a unique approach with the console and trying to give it a solid library from square one by releasing a bunch of big games all at launch.

    In order to get a gimmick game there would need to be a new gimmick for the system to use, wii sports used motion controls, nintendo world was the game pad and 1 2 switch was the joycons. For switch 2 they would have to have something new to use, but I have no idea what that may be honestly. So if they dont end up having a new gimmick about their new system and it just ends up being a more powerful switch then I dont think we are going to get a new gimmick game.

      I’d bet some sort of Xbox Kinect-like gimmick for it would be possible if it’s a New Nintendo Switch. There could be a sensor camera built-in or something.

    Games aside, can we also talk about hardware, and the issues around that?
    Switch 1 released with an outdated midrange chip. Switch 1 had no consistent uplifts, silent upgrades, nor a mid-gen refresh, just one process node shrink. Switch 1 has had its console cycle milked to the point that the hardware is becoming unusable, just look at how first party games need hyper-optimization, and how even that isn't sufficient enough anymore.
    Now we're getting to the successor, what was late this year is now early next year. Except there's a problem, what hardware is it going to use? I point this out mostly because there is no good solution, not unless that Samsung-AMD deal brings us a competent gaming chip; otherwise, it's all phone hardware. Another point to point out is that 2025 is supposedly the year we're getting a ton of competition in the space, thanks to the end of the Microsoft-Qualcomm deal, where supposedly everyone is looking to hit the low-end PC range that laptops and PC handhelds fit into. Where this is important is if you look at Apple's chips, considering they're pioneering and monopolizing the space currently, on the CPU side even a Snapdragon 8 Gen3 doesn't match the performance of a base M1, and keep in mind that we're on M3 now which averages something like 150% compared to the SD8 G3, then on the GPU side from what comparable data you can find the base M3's GPU outperforms the Adreno 750 (Qualcomm's GPU in the SD8 G3) by a significant amount, in fact the base M3's GPU closes the gap if not surpases (in some benchmarks) AMD's 780m, and we all know that Apple silicon is absolutely not the highest end of what's feasible. It's pretty clear the coming ARM boom for PC-grade chips, which supposedly everyone on both sides of the line are getting in on, is going to bring some very powerful chips based off of what Apple is currently doing themselves. Yet where's Nintendo at the moment? Either a very, very early adopter of one of these chips, an adopter of a currently unannounced package (such as the Samsung-AMD chip but with a much better GPU), or they're doing a console cycle too early and are going to have all of the Switch 1 hardware issues all over again. Also for sake of comparison, the Samsung Xclipse 920, the AMD side of the deal, is quite a far ways behind even the Adreno 750, there's consistently something like 150%+ in the performance uplift the Adreno has. Mobile hardware is just not where it's at for a gaming handheld, even the best of it is significantly behind the only 'ARM PC' hardware, and we're entering the cusp of when true ARM PC hardware is going to flourish, and Nintendo is going to miss that and be entirely non-competitive within the gaming space.
    Nintendo shot themselves in the foot, continued to shoot themselves in the same foot, and are now going to be dumping a clip into their feet. The head of Nintendo's hardware division should be gutted before bad hardware choices seppukus the company. Because another cycle of bad hardware is going to be like another Wii U cycle, except this time instead of people not knowing about the console they'll instead know that the new one has bad hardware. It's not a sustainable model. There also is no silver lining, Nintendo isn't going to do a short console cycle, Nintendo isn't going to invest into the idea of an eGPU dock, Nintendo isn't going to later introduce a home-only variant, and the potential hardware gap would warrant a new console cycle. From the outside looking in, Nintendo hardware has to be on its way out if they make the same mistakes again, and it's looking like they're going to be making the same mistakes again unless there's some miracle during the next-gen hardware announcement. And with how Nintendo is actively attacking emulators themselves now, even when people are using them to get any amount of performance in games, it comes off as Nintendo being so out of touch that they _will_ make the same hardware mistakes again. The only true way forward under these kinds of decisions is going as a handheld-only company.
    The whole ARM gaming situation is also in a bit of an odd spot. Remember those Xbox leaks and the timeline point that was the decision on adopting ARM? Yeah, even with Nintendo's most direct competition, they'll be left in the dust, not that there would've been competition in the first place considering other factors. Nintendo might as well become a phone company by this point.
    I also wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo's poor choices and poor mentality when it comes to hardware bleeds into other aspects as well. Larger storage? We might see a bump, but nothing substantial. Backwards compatibility? Maybe, but ti'll probably be another GBA on DS situation. Etc. As far as launch software goes, Pokemon Legends is such a bizarre choice, going with a spinoff canon might leave a bad taste, honestly I think 3D Metroid, F-Zero, and Mario have to be the big three, maybe Kirby or Animal Crossing slots in there somewhere, but given that we just got Pokemon Gen9 barely a year ago, we just got the last major Zelda not even a year ago, and Splat 3 is still going strong, Switch's successor for 2025 currently isn't stacked for the first few years, and again this has to do with their dogshit hardware decisions.
    Either an unforseen miracle happens, or the next console is going to be rough, again. Nintendo just has a history of bad decisions.

    Looking farther ahead, does anybody think that Nintendo will allow a release of GTA Vl? Not releasing GTA V was a missed opportunity (the switch can run it, at least the 7th gen version. If you don’t believe it, please look up what Rockstar game was released on the switch last year). I would be very surprised if nintendo nintendo finally got over its aversion to more adult games and embraced it as some kind of system seller, as that would make the switch a very attractive proposition to many.
    That said, a GTA Vl release on switch would be conditional on the console’s hardware, which I hope is on par with the M1 ipad at the very least. I don’t think Nintendo can skimp on hardware this generation, as there are many strong competitors right now like the apple M chips. If apple becomes more game friendly these next few years, and they can with the M chips powering all of their portable hardware, they will eat some of nintendo’s market share if nintendo doesn’t have a compelling proposition. Nintendo might survive that, but it would feel like whatever nintendo did was a missed opportunity or a streak of bad mistakes.

      They only got RAGE working on the Switch last year with RDR port. GTA 4 port coming this year. GTA V might happen next year and Switch 2 may get GTA 6 in 2026

    It'd be nice for Nintendo to release a console that can reliably get more FPS than years into our current century, out of games made this century.
    Also less hardware failures would be nice.

    Should just make a GameCube 2 to cash in on the nostalgia.
    Fill it with revived niche gamecube or hand-held titles like Chibi Robo 2 or Super Monkey Ball: Breath of Kong or Nintendogs VR or Luigi's Mansion Requiem and of course who could forget Game and Watch Gallery 2025: The return of Mr. Game.

    I don't think there's gonna be a next-gen line-up as usual, most games will be cross compatible with the old Switch, the only difference being additional resolution, framerate and such options.

    Sadly they proved with the last mainstream Animal Crossing they don’t take it seriously and won’t support it long term. You see this in Splatoon as well which is developed every few years with extremely minor upgrades. Nintendo doesn’t do long term game support for most titles. So it is hard to care about the when compared to past games they are lackluster.
    As for Metroid Prime… well Sakamoto is involved. The man responsible for Other M, the Zero Suit, the added high heels. Gunpei was Metroids father not Sakamoto. He’s a sexist dick riding the luck of the real creator dying tragically so he could credit himself with it all.
