On the brighter side, Nintendo\u2019s Switch 2 seems assured of long-term success.<\/p>\n<p>GC was a failure because it was outright hostile to third-party developers. WiiU was a failure because it was horrifically underpowered and branded, which confused parents into thinking it was just an expansion for the Wii and not its own thing.<\/p>\n<p>Right now, the Switch store is easily the friendliest of the big 3 to third-party and indies (perhaps to a fault, given the deluge of slop), and Switch 2 seems to be toning down gimmicks, if anything. The only way we see Switch 2 flopping is if they don\u2019t distinguish it enough (i.e., not enough of a hardware bump) or completely drop the ball on new first-party titles.<\/p>\n<p>Already confirmed games:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Mario Kart 8 Switch 2 Edition<\/li>\n<li>Metroid Prime 4<\/li>\n<li>Super Mario Odyssey 2<\/li>\n<li>Assassin\u2019s Creed: Shadows<\/li>\n<li>Pok\u00e9mon Legends: ZA<\/li>\n<li>MGSD: Snake Eater<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Hopes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Master Chief Collection<\/li>\n<li>Breath of the Wild Trilogy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"font-bold text-body leading-[24px] pt-[12px] pb-[2px] [&amp;_a]:underline-offset-[6px] [&amp;_.underline]:underline-offset-[6px]\">Why the Nintendo Switch 2 Matters<\/h2>\n<p>The Switch reshaped gaming like nothing before. Its dual-home and portable design killed two consoles, the Wii and DS, and built one of history\u2019s most profitable hardware lines. Sales hit $100 billion. Investors couldn\u2019t get enough.<\/p>\n<p>But success can corner you. Sony and Microsoft can afford hardware stumbles. Nintendo can\u2019t.
