After Nearly a Full Year Since the Switch 2 Launched, How do you Feel About Its 1st Party Exclusive Lineup?
This list doesn't show every game released for Switch 2 so far, namely Yoshi and the Mysterious Book and a few Switch 2 Edition games like Animal Crossing New Horizons and Xenoblade Chronicles X Definitive Edition, but this was the cleanest visual I could find. If you were to remove any DLCs and Switch 2 Editions from the list and add in Yoshi, that would give you 9 games exclusive to the Switch 2. Granted, two of those games are tech demos and can be beaten in an afternoon, so let's whittle it down to 7 (Bananza, World, Air, Pokopia, Imprisonment, Fever, and Book) Of the exclusive first party games above, I've only played Mario Kart and Bananza, mainly due to playing other games throughout the past several months, i.e. Kingdom Hearts on XBOX, so I don't have much experience with the latter.
I think the best way I can describe it is that it's a good base to continue building off of. Once the second year starts next month, we'll have Star Fox, Fire Emblem: Fortunes Weave, and the Duskbloods as confirmed exclusives, with more to be announced hopefully in a June Direct. I'm really itching to play Fortunes Weave when that comes out after loving Three Houses and Engage, and I think Star Fox will be nice to try out as well. I feel optimistic for the console and games moving forward; even if it former has to go up in price, at least the latter is offering cheaper prices for digital.
What do you think about Nintendo's output for their 1st Party titles on Switch 2 for its first year on the market, what have been some of your greatest memories thus far, and what are you looking forward to?
