Nintendo recently revealed details about their upcoming Switch 2 during a presentation, stirring mixed feelings among potential buyers regarding the first-party launch titles. Historically, new Nintendo consoles have launched with few first-party games, a pattern the Switch 2 seems to maintain with two titles on day one: Mario Kart World and a virtual guide. Despite a perceived lack of robust titles at launch, an upcoming major release, Donkey Kong Bananza, promises significant content shortly after, suggesting a strategic delay in major releases to follow the console launch.
Nintendo’s approach to the Switch 2 launch is notable for having relatively strong first-party support compared to historical launch titles across its previous systems.
In the past 20 years, new Nintendo consoles have typically launched with just two or three first-party games, a trend that the Switch 2 mostly continues.
The Switch 2 will feature two titles on launch day: Mario Kart World and Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour, although the latter is not a robust launch title.
Donkey Kong Bananza will launch six weeks post-Switch 2, indicating Nintendo's strategy may involve a wave of game releases shortly after the console's debut.
