Switch 2 is rumoured for 2024, but what could be launch titles? Metroid prime 4 would be a candidate, but might not a be a system seller.

A new 3d Mario could be a possibility, given wonder is a 2.5d and another team might be working on something.

Zelda - we've just had totk released so that seems out.

Mario kart 9 could be a system seller.

Splatoon 3 was only recently released.

What else could be lined up for a launch window, assuming a 2024 release? Maybe 2024 is less plausible 🤔

Ported from another platform with little to no effort?

It's the literal definition of shovelware.

The Switch was literally the last of 11 platforms it launched on.

Also, by your definition, Skyrim and Witcher 3 are also Shovelware.

Which, I want you to think hard about for maybe 1 min.

On the Switch? They absolutely were. An afterthought at best.

[–] niisyth@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's called a port my dude.

With no new features or nothing added to take advantage of unique Switch capabilities = shovelware.
