    Yeah, it’s basically Mario Kart World and then Donkey Kong Bananza shortly thereafter.

    As a reminder Switch 1 had the following first party titles in its launch window:

    • BOTW
    • Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
    • 1-2-Switch (meh)
    • Snipperclips (meh)
    • ARMS (meh)
    • Splatoon 2

    So knowing how those games went, and excluding the meh games. Switch 2 is really only missing 1 first party like Splatoon.

    Also Metroid Prime 4 is in the middle space of being a crossover title.

      I thought Arms was a blast! Like Mario kart or super smash I did a good job of walking the “competitive, but fun” line.

      Otherwise I agree, only Splatoon2 was really unique to the switch. Everything else was released on the WiiU.

        Very true. So this launch is actually pretty on par with switch 1.

        With the mouse controls I am really wondering why we didn’t see even a tease of Splatoon 4.
