In your eyes, what 3 games would make for the perfect Switch 2 launch lineup? Anything goes. It can be something already announced, rumored, or dreamt up.

Update: Cakeboxer Cakeboxer listed Punch-Out first and won Gaf gold!!!!

If the popular rumors are true, Mario Kart, Elden Ring and Red Dead Redemption 2 would be a pretty great launch.

Dream list: F-Zero GX Port, Mario Kart 9, Super Mario 3D All-Stars 2 /w Galaxy 2 and Super Mario 3D Land

If anything goes: the next big 3D Zelda, Okami 2, GTA 6.

Realistically I'm hoping for Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, Mario Kart 9, and a new Nintendo IP.

Give me:

Metroid Prime 4
Super Smash Bros. Melee
HD port / remaster (no mechanical change, but with this I'd like Nintendo to have a real online system that doesn't block you to pre-ordained "friends").
Super Mario 128
Or (since that last one is the least likely of all), I'll settle for
A New Legend of Zelda but in the traditional Ocarina formula (as a foundation).
 
Zelda OoT remake.

New IP from Xeno team or Xenogears 2 or Xeno 1 remaster

Anything Mario. Maybe super Mario world remaster or Mario 64 remake



Honorable mention a new SMT game.

The rumor about RDR2 made me think that guy who asked if GTA was being made to run on Switch 2 was actually into something after all.

Anyway, I'll take Goldeneye 2, StarFox 64 sequel that doesn't suck and Rogue Squadron 1/2 remake.

Games that might actually happen: Mario 128, Mario Kart 9, OOT remake.

According to same rumor we will get Kart, which doesn't look good for Mario. Personally I want the platformer at launch at the kart racer 8 months in, but a mp game fills a needed role and can be boosted with dlc in a more elegant way than a Mario game that has to cook longer.
 
Prey 2 alone would make this the most legendary launch of any console. Other than that, I'd love another Zelda in the same vein as Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask. I'd also take an Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask remake.
 
The fact that the studio has desire to have a past big game at launch suggests that they may wish to have another big game in the future.
RDR2 will be 7 year old game when the console comes out, and heck, it would probably suggest that Rockstar is making a next-gen version for PS5 and Xbox, and to that point you may as well also release it on a system that can obviously run it.
It's a big game of 12 year old consoles, it will hardly be representative of where GTA6, a completely different beast, will end up.
 
Zelda Ocarina of Time Remake
Mario Odyssey 2
Elden Ring Complete Edition for Switch-2 with additional content Link tunic costume and master sword

Wow thanks I didn't know when RDR2 came out, not.

Yeah they could make a next gen version for PS5 and Xbox, but having it for Switch 2 launch implies they actually care about grabbing sales from the platform, and if they're bothering to think about that then they could be thinking about GTA running on it.
 
- RDR2
- Mario Kart 9
- COD

These can also happen easily and would make Switch interesting for non Switch players.
