The Nintendo Switch Launch Games are Getting Bigger

When the Switch was show-cased at Nintendo’s Switch event, there wasn’t a lot to get excited about. Only after showing off the hardware did the hype levels rise. Games like Arms, Splatoon 2, and of course The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild are what salvaged the showcase. We hoped that the launch line up would be comparable to Nintendo’s other hardware launch games, I guess we were wrong. By the end of the showcase, the full launch line up will be only consisted of five games, that is rare now a days. With any hardware manufacturer, you want as much players to buy your hardware. With the launch games, I can’t see many players buy it day one. At least we have The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

Now that it’s been about two weeks since the event and only five weeks until launch, which means there is time for Nintendo communicate unanswered questions. What I didn’t expect was they are still adding games to the launch line-up, although some of them are just ports.

Here are the original launch titles; 1 2 Switch, Super Bomberman R, Just Dance 2017, Skylanders: Imaginators, and The legend of Zelda: Breath of the wild. This was what was announced at the showcase. The games that were added after that was; The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth+, I Am Setsuna, Human Resource Machine, Little Inferno, and World of Goo. Though these new launch games are just ports it gives players variety of different games.

Even when Nintendo adds games fans aren’t happy, and it makes sense, no new games at launch worth noting except Zelda and mostly ports from old games will make any gamer feel down. Let’s see if Nintendo will keep adding new games before launch and not just ports.

The Nintendo Switch is set to release on March 3, 2017 alongside of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, 1 2 Switch, with notable games like Splatoon 2 and Mario kart 8 deluxe coming soon after launch.
