There's always Fortnite for you Nintendo fans out there.BF6 isnt coming for the Switch 2 either
Without a doubt.
Hexen + Heretic doesn't have a Switch 2 version, only Switch 1 for eg and it's a Bethesda game
They released like 4 CoD on Wii, 3 on DS and one on Wii U, if none of these sold anything, I doubt they'd insist that much.
Several devs complained they need to participate to a lottery to get a Switch 2 devkits, and cannot even ask to buy one currently
If you believe one of those devs was the (or one of) biggest publisher in the world I am not sure what to tell you…
People often completely refuse to accept reality, no matter how obvious and clear things are because, by doing so, their world will completely shatter.
And Portal.
I believe if a publisher publish a Switch 1 version of a game without native Switch 2 version (like Bethesda just did several days ago), then it's probably true.
The SoC taped out in 2023. How do you buy this? Is this another Xbox Series X tools are just behind the corner? Sigh…
How's that relevant ? We have reports saying they delayed the Switch 2 for 1 year as the games weren't ready. Your only arguments so far are « do you really believe it ? How do you buy this ? »
They had ample time to prepare a humongous launch supply and dev kits on a platform that was essentially an evolved Switch 1 from a software capabilities point of view. There is not even an excuse that the HW was not finalised until late and thus dev kits were not close to final HW specs (think Xbox 360 shipping Early dev kits to devs and changing the CPU specs quite a bit fairly late).
Games were not ready or Switch 1 was selling too well? Considering several of their launch titles are games that started development for Switch 1 and were moved to Switch 2 and remasters / upgrades of existing Switch 1 titles…
So they gave devkits to FromSoftware to release Elden Ring soon and a niche exclusive game sometime this year, but ran out of them when it was Activision's turn to port one of the best selling games ever? (even if it is a crap shooter)
The excuses do not make sense. So they have dev kits for Tony Hawk but for unknown reasons, they don't have dev kits for their BEST SELLER. Make it make sense.
They do, hence the leak, but the build is clearly not ready in time for launch, hence the leak,
Nope.

? I get it mate, but you are calling Nintendo seriously incompetent and almost criminally negligent to have the SoC finalised in 2023 and then nothing to share with third party publishers for 2 years (what was the secret they were hiding from them compared to Switch 1? A bigger screen and mouse controls?).Yeah, Digital Extreme totally on the same level of Activision… not even an early software simulator, nothing for the biggest publisher in the world until July 2025. Same attitude and religious belief as when the XSX comparisons arrived and the "tools are around the corner" logic started in some casesAnd in case you think it only impacts smaller devs, even the big publisher behind Warframe had received no devkits as of July 2025.
Warframe Developer Insists 'Backlog' of Dev Kits to Blame for Lack of Nintendo Switch 2 Port - IGN
Soulframe developer Digital Extremes says the "backlog of dev kits" is the reason players have yet to see an official Nintendo Switch 2 port for Warframe.www.ign.com
.You see the dev kits come with a clause that says you can only use them for a specific game…
.
It amuses me, how far they go to defend Microsoft. Evidence be dammed.NintendoHut or MarioWeekly

Come on mate, I do not want to call you disingenuously propping up anything that you feel might be competing against PlayStation (which you take anything positive about with three ounces of salt… for some mysterious reasons), but I feel like I would be insulting you if I were to say I think you actually believe what are saying here.
Once again, Hexen + Heretic, a Bethesda game, doesn't have a Switch 2 version, only a Switch 1.
Probably the same reason remasters of really old games only get Ps4 versions: because they run on ps5 (example : Final Fantasy Pixel remasters).
Well why did they made a PS5, Series X and a Series S version alongside PS4 and Xbox One with each version using the consoles features then ? Why not apply the same logic here ?
Porting cost VS max potential return VS install base size.
We know that in July it was already +7 million, and keeps selling at a very fast pace
Hexen and Heretic, something tells me you've never played those games before. It's not worth making a switch 2 port with a 6million player base compared to 150million. This game would not sell on switch 2.
Tony hawk pro skater 3+4 has a Switch 2 version and that's an Activision game.
I suggest you look at videos of those games...
Early adopters, casuals ? While the one waiting to buy the consoles are the public to buy the games ?
Newsflash, it's being released on even weaker hardware, ps4 and xbox one.
I'm still ok with the news. I'm not going to hope all weaker hardware is targeted just because some is.
They did Tony Hawk Switch 2 version with dark magic then?

The instruction set, calls, etc are then exactly the same between switch 1 and 2?
The OP shows the Switch logo is listed on the Black Ops 7 website, just not announced yet.
And most of those are hardcore Nintendo fans looking only for Nintendo first party. Why have we been getting cross gen games till now when PS5 has over 80 mil installed base? In the end its not just about the number, they probably tried, looked and played like shit compared to modern consoles. Whats the point of even releasing something brought down to potato mode? Look at MK1 on the switch, it did nothing for sales and all it got the company was memes and ridicule. The bigger problem here is Switch 2 released just a couple of months ago and ALREADY third party are like yeah fuck this, we dont wanna waste time with this low hardware because they are finally all switching to current generation only and Switch 2 falls more in the last gen category tech-wise. At least Switch 1 held its own for a few years before third party games started looking like crap compared to X1/PS4. Switch 2 right out of the gate is having WiiU third party problems and this thing is projected to be out there for another 6 years lol.
