Splatoon raiders is such a disappointment.
It is just a big salmon run update. That was the game I look forward to the most on the console

I was expecting it feels like a new game.
It has the same core enemies, and almost same looking stage style. It just feels lazy.
For some games this would have been a big patch instead of a new game.

The big upgrade really is just switch 2 being more powerful and it gets extremely chaotic with the amount of enemies. Game is still fun, but that's because Splatoon is one of a kind

Dozens of additional big games are coming out in late 2026 and in 2027, consistently outpacing Nintendo's competitors:

"Nintendo has recently highlighted 33 games that are in active development for its Switch 2 console, with many releasing before the end of the year. The Nintendo Switch 2 is one of the fastet-selling video game consoles of all time, and while the jury is still out on whether it will manage to eclipse its predecessor's lifetime sales or not, there's no denying that it is already a wildly successful console.

If Nintendo keeps supporting the Switch 2 as aggressively as it has been, it's likely that the console's sales will remain strong, even in the face of unfortunate price increases. Nintendo itself releases a major new Switch 2 game nearly every month, and third party partners help pick up the slack at times as well. The result is a never-ending stream of Switch 2 games, including quite a few noteworthy exclusives that can't be played anywhere else.

From the affordability and convenience to the exclusive games and ever-increasing library, and from the decision to keep physical games to the refusal to engage in the PC/Xbox/PlayStation obsession with graphics over gameplay, it's no wonder that Nintendo's Switch 2 has been looking strong and is positioned very well to continue its success.

Chuhai Labs and Balor Games have finally confirmed that the action-shooter Wild Blue Skies is heading to the Switch eShop this Autumn. Heavily inspired by the core Star Fox experience, Wild Blue Skies will launch on PS5, Xbox Series S|X, and Steam on 13th August 2026, but it sounds like the teams need a little more time to get the Switch version out of the door. It will cost $14.99 on all platforms. It looks neat and it's boasting a pretty unique art style, but we do wonder just how many folks will go for this now that the exceptional Star Fox remake is available on Switch 2. Hopefully it'll do well; it looks like it's capturing the spirit of Nintendo's series pretty well.

Considering buying Shredder's revenge to play with my kids (5 & 7).

They are playing FC25, Smash Bros, Mario Kart and Mario Strikers so I assume they are "good enough" to understand how to play that game.

Final Fantasy Resonance - another HD-2D marvel - is coming October 22nd! I wonder if it'll be as good as the Octopath franchise. The trailer looks great:

Oh man I've been really disappointed with the Switch 2's releases so far. The only Switch 2 exclusive I've bought is Pokemon Pokopia which was banging, but looking at the list of what's coming up is so pitiful. Where are mainline releases for Zelda, Mario and Pikmin guys. I tried the Mario Kart at my friend's house and it was really strange, you only did one lap of a track and then did this weird off-road thing, I didn't like it so didn't buy it. I'll just have to play Wind Waker on NSO, and the updated version of BOTW or TOTK for now.

I'd say Splatoon Raiders is the best game on the system so far.

We had fun with Shredder's revenge this weekend. Had to pay full price because I did not want to wait for a sale, doesn't matter though because the boys were entertained.

Difficulty level (on easiest) was perfect for them, just smash and dash.
