Cyberpunk 2077 was a launch game
Seems like most third-party developers will not support Switch 2
True, but Cyberpunk and Elden Ring coming to Switch 2 seems more because of Nintendo's initiative to reach out to those developers, over them deciding by themselves to port those games over to Switch 2 with no influence from Nintendo. The same way the Skyrim port to the original Switch happened. Those kind of Nintendo influenced launch games won't show the general trend though, after Skyrim few of those kind of games came to Switch, probably will be the same with Elden Ring and Cyberpunk on Switch 2.

No dude, your analysis is like someone who is stuck with the Wii generation would say, I tried to point out with a very recent and basic example. There are more 18+ uncensored games on the Switch than on PS for reference, so much for being for families.

If they can get the games to run on the Switch 2 without too much effort, then I think they will. Even if the games don't sell gangbusters on the Switch 2, it's still extra money. They still release games on the Xbox after all. There are also games that have done quite well on the Switch, like Hogwarts, so I think there is a good chance of more third party games coming.

Generally, third party games on Nintendo ecosystem will be the likes of Fantasy Life and Tamagotchi Plaza, casual, cosy type games. While most games catering to core gamers won't come to Nintendo platforms.

A lot of the games shown could be scaled down for Switch 2, if they really wanted.

Switch 2 for now is going to receive ps4/xbox ports, crossgen games and a few less demanding or downgradade current gen game... as we approach the endgen in 27/28 going into the next, welp.
Nintendo systems are for Nintendo games anyway, anyone who wants full third party support should have a PC or a PS5/XboxX

I counted two coming games announced with Switch 2 logos at Summer games fest:
1: Sonic racing.
2: 007.
That's pretty terrible for any new console, but seems par for the course for a new Nintendo console.
The thing is that how steange it sounds, a lot of devs didnt have a devkit yet. It wasnt even available on request. It was about nintendo needed to contact you instead. This could now be changed with the launch. The point is, even if 3th party did want todo that they could not yet

I personally don't expect a different situation than with Switch 1 for big games. As games become largely PS5/Series exclusive and fully use the consoles, Switch 2 ports will probably be quite compromised, especially because these consoles have a much better CPU. So this is going to be "blurry 30fps" territory or the game will simply skip the console. That's what I expect anyway for the more ambitious games.

You mean like cyberpunk and final fantasy that looks almost identical?
Why buying it for ps5, while you can play it portable. Not only that, it support mouse on the go. I honestly think ps5 is going to be obselete for most games. Almost no one is going to give a f* about those minor difference. This isnt the switch 1 area
I think the problem is that most of us expected AAA games like MH Wilds and RE9 to fully skip Switch 2, but the fact that the Switch 2 doesn't even get games like Code Vein, Digimon, Persona 4 remake etc is a very bad sign, because those kind of mid tier stuff skipping the Switch 2 means that third party support for Switch 2 will mostly be Fantasy Life style chibi games.

Missing PlayStation 1 is not a flex

It's pretty disappointing so far. Though we can assume that Microsoft will port everything they can to Switch. So considering they haven't announced anything yet, it is possible that it will take some time before other pubs announce their ports too.

Maybe if you're Mr.Magoo.
I think it seems that Microsoft multiplatform pivot is almost fully about porting their games to PS, the Switch 2 is not something they care much about. I would only expect a few things like CoD to come to Switch 2 due to them signing a binding agreement with Nintendo to port CoD to Switch.

posts news as their odd job
Definitely surprised by the lack of announcements so far.
I'll be curious about the Microsoft showcase. Like I presume COD is at least coming because of the agreement. Doom: The Dark Ages seems like another one that you would guess would come? Presumably any remasters they announce could possibly....

Didn't mean for it to be a flex but ok lol. I just never had a ps1 growing up and i didn't get into playstation until the ps2 came out and even then the gamecube was my main platform at that time. The ps2 was my bros and he was much more into it than i was until i started to playing it more and more as i got older and appreciated it more.
