Not covering everything because there’s a lot for this “dead” system. Just some highlights.
(Still no Silksong)
Mario & Luigi: Brothership (November 7, 2024) – The Switch sure did get a lot of Mario RPGs, huh? A little worried because the studio that made the pervious M&L games is gone and people do not seem happy with the direction Paper Mario went in after a while.
Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition (July 18, 2024) – Remember when Amiibo Tap: Nintendo’s Greatest Bits was a free(ish) game on the Wii U?
Nintendo Switch Sports (Summer 2024) – Basketball will be added as a free update.
Disney Illusion Island and Among Us are getting free updates today.
Donkey Kong Country Returns HD (January 16, 2025) – I don’t care about this one but I’m sure others do.
Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake (November 14, 2024) – Okay, cool…we have a date…unlike DQ XII. Now if only they’d verify that it is getting released outside of Japan because it has been years and I’m still waiting for DQ X Offline.
Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake (2025) – See above comment.
Funko Fusion (September 13, 2024) – Like actual Funko Pops, I assume this game will just spontaneously generate in our homes at some point. At least it doesn’t seem to be a “toys to life” thing … but it feels like it would have been if it came out a few years ago.
Nintendo Online Expansion pack is getting some new games today but no news on the base pack.
Phantom Brave; The Lost Hero (2025) – I guess PB is a franchise now?
Marvel vs Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics (2024) – I was going to say I didn’t know this series HAD seven games but it looks like they’re padding it out with things like X-Men: Children of the Atom and a Punisher beat-em-up. Probably of a lot of interest to people here.
Super Mario Party Jamboree (October 17, 2024) – A third Switch Mario Party. I hope people like this one at least as well as the second one because the first one was really unpopular.
The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom (September 26, 2024) – New top-down Zelda in the style of the 2019 Link’s Awakening remake with a world map that reminds me of Breath of the Wild…and you play as Zelda. Yes, please!
(I mostly ran out of steam here. Sorry if I missed a thing that you care about)
Ace Attorney Investigations Collection (September 6, 2024) – I’m unclear on how this is different from all the other AA collections but I guess at least one of the games is new (to the west).
Metroid Prime 4: Beyond (2025) – Hang on, deh_tommy …you have something to live for!
(I wonder if Amazon will honor my seven-year-old preorder price)
Edit: Various listings indicate the Dragon Quest HD-2D games will see the light of day outside of Japan and will have physical copies in some regions.
