Nintendo Switch 2 Will Get AAA Games At Launch

When the Nintendo Switch launched in 2017, one thing it didn’t really have in its library were AAA games. It had major first-party games like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, but nothing from the bigger third-party developers. With the upcoming launch of the Nintendo Switch 2, there appears to be a shift happening with the games that’ll be available for players.

According to Paul Gale, the Nintendo Switch 2 will have “big launch window releases” from third-party studios. These include “significant” AAA games.

“A few major third party developers whom at E3 2017 weren’t anticipating Nintendo Switch taking off the way it did and didn’t have a Triple A title at launch/the show itself, are working on big launch window releases for Nintendo’s next system,” Gale posted on Twitter.

“[Nintendo Switch 2] will have some early, significant ports, parallel releases, and exclusives.”

As far as what those AAA games on the Nintendo Switch 2 could be, that’s anyone’s guess.

Nintendo is expected to reveal its next console in early 2025 with a release rumored to be for March 2025. The latest rumors on the system claim that it will be backwards compatible and support 4K resolution.
