Nintendo Switch 2 Software Possibilities

The Nintendo Switch 2 hardware reveal is rumoured to be sometime this week. That’s the word coming from numerous sources. What we know is that it’s becoming more apparent that something is happening at Nintendo HQ; they’re getting ready to reveal the hardware. We know the software part is going to be something entirely separate, which leads me to believe it’s going to be something substantial.

If your a Nintendo fan, then, like me, your going to be excited by the fact we could be getting a new Mario Kart. Not only that, but a new 3D Mario is on the agenda as well, potentially. Ubisoft will be supporting the new hardware in the way they know how. I am expecting a lot of third-party support from numerous publishers to welcome in this new generation for Nintendo and the capabilities of the new hardware.

I think we’re going to see Metroid 4. That’ll be a big thing for them. I expect to see an RPG from someone as well. I think we’re going to see a well-rounded list of games for people to be able to play. The interesting thing will be how far Nintendo go on the software front themselves. It’s going to need to be strong over the course of the year. I remember the original Nintendo Switch had a pretty strong year. This time, even with the release schedule, it looks like Nintendo is marching to the beat of the same drum.

Personally, I would love to see Astral Chain 2 show up. I’d be incredibly excited to see that after enjoying the first game so much. It’s also going to be interesting how Nintendo’s software looks on the new hardware and how it differs in terms of scale and power in games. Of course, most will care about the performance.

However, the future of Splatoon could be bigger and better, and just how games differ in general in terms of their scale. How far they go with other games as well is going to be very interesting indeed. Especially since Nintendo has joined hardware that will be substantially more powerful to run these games now. It puts them in a great position. We already know that the Series S will now have a big say in the ports.

I am hoping that the software reveal really showcases the strengths of the hardware once that is announced. Maybe that’s the reason why Nintendo wants to do this the same way they did originally. Because it strikes that familiar tune. That’s at least what it’s looking like.
