The Switch 2 is off to a speedy start for big third-party games
With Switch 2, Nintendo seems to fill the release date with some of its third -party games. This is a problem that tormented the previous Nintendo consoles, which have often received games from years after other platforms, if at all.
While Nintendo’s direct partner’s showcase today may have lacked the touch of early third party games like Hades 2 or from Software DuskbloodsWhat was on display offered interesting information.
Vitrines like this offer to the development and publishing partners of the second and third of Nintendo the possibility of showing what they have on the way. In original switching days, multiplatform games like Control Would obtain the switching release dates for months or even years after their initial launch, if they came at all. And even then, the game can sometimes be the cloud version, which requires it broadcast on the console, and these were generally hated for their graphics and inconsistent performance problems.
With this direct, it seems that Nintendo works to bring third-party games more quickly to Switch 2 and, hopefully, with game experiences similar to other consoles. During this directly, we looked Cronos: The New DawnA new game of Silent hill 2 Remake Studio Bloober Team. Cronos It looks like the kind of game that would have had trouble on the original switch, but it is published on the three consoles and PC on September 5.
Madden NFL 2026 is also launched through the Big 3 at the same time – August 14 – a feat of notes considering the last time that a Madden title was on a Nintendo console was Madden NFL 13 More than a decade ago.
Star Wars Outlaws has been released since August of last year. His arrival on the Switch 2 in September represents the most complex game of Ubisoft on the platform since the Assassin’s Creed Anniversary Edition Mega Bundle. (And the most recent game in this collection was published over 10 years ago.) Borderlands 4Although it does not start exactly day and date, will release on switch 2 just three weeks after its PC / Xbox / PlayStation launch.
Even third -party games that have not been shown today always represent new exciting perspectives for Switch 2. During the Switch 2 directly in April, Elden ring was shown as one of the games coming to the new console. With the way in which the original switch fought with more complex games, even those designed with this console in mind, a play of particle effects with big ass, pretty, as the effect of particles Elden ring Running it was unthinkable. But Elden Ring Tarnished Editionwith DuskbloodsA totally original Fromsoftware multiplayer Joint, both come to switch 2. Final Fantasy VII remakeA game with the same type of technical complexity, if not higher, Elden ringis on the way too.
Nintendo has always been the kind of business to do what it wants rather than continuing market trends, and this strategy has served the company very well. The original switch was not to the technical advantage of bleeding and, due to the high quality of his games, he should not be. Likewise, the Switch 2 does not push the same type of power as Xbox and PlayStation, but the console has evolved just enough so that it can support some of the still popular recent games of its competitors.
And even if everything that will not be new will arrive at Switch 2, the console always has a robust back catalog to move forward. During today’s live, we saw that the SEGA Ryu Ga Gotoku studio brings the Yakuza Kiwami Series at switch 2.
We do not know how one of these games will occur when they are finally published on the Switch 2. We will have to wait and see if the console keeps the promise of the biggest and better games operating on improved equipment. Nor do we know if the trend will continue beyond the initial excitement of the window to launch a new console. But if the criticicial of the Switch 2 edition of Cyberpunk 2077 is something to pass, ports will not come faster; They will be good too.
