  And even in the cases when you think it might have games, it turns out they’re not on the cartridge.

  Truly, the PS5 of the new generation.

    Except the people who wanted to buy it on release didn’t have to wait for 3 years if unlucky.

  Their roll-out schedule for games is definitely unexpected, not making the new Pokemon a switch 2 exclusive was specifically a real weird move for Nintendo. Even if it wasn’t a mainline game, that’s usually their ‘sell that new console’ line.

  Definitely grateful, but I really wonder why Nintendo isn’t pushing Switch 2 games more.

    Nintendo is consistently terrible about not having solid launch titles.

      Which is weird to be sure with all their exclusive studios.

  It honestly has a decent lineup. Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Bananza, and Metroid Prime 4 are all solid. I’ve really been enjoying Hyrule Warriors Age of Imprisonment, the co-op has MUCH better performance than the first game. Plus many other Switch games just have better performance on Switch 2, like Pokémon Scarlet/Violet.

    I’m not sure I’d call MKW ‘solid’ - it’s a got a solid sound track.

    The tracks are solid, but you’re effectively not allowed to play them online, you get 2 laps of straight line followed by one single lap of a real track.
