Three Months In: Assessing the Nintendo Switch 2 Game Library

Three Months In: Assessing the Nintendo Switch 2 Game Library

40 views

The Nintendo Switch 2 has been available for three months since its launch on June 5. During this period, over 50 games have been released on the platform, ranging from major titles to smaller indie projects.

While some developers are still obtaining development kits, many smaller studios have successfully launched Switch 2 games. Nintendo appears to be carefully controlling access to the eShop, likely to maintain focus on key first-party titles and avoid an oversaturated library.

Compared to the original Switch, which continues to receive new games weekly, the Switch 2’s release rate is slower. Many available titles are ports or remastered versions rather than entirely new experiences. For gamers without a backlog, the current lineup may feel underwhelming.

Nonetheless, the quality of games remains strong, with several well-regarded classics included. The release of the highly anticipated Silksong injects fresh content into the platform’s catalog. Nintendo Life is preparing a review of this title to share soon.

Readers have shared their ratings of the Switch 2 library so far. Out of 3,438 votes, responses were mixed but generally positive:

  • 10 (Outstanding): 3%

  • 8 (Great): 15%

  • 5 (Average): 13%
  • 4 (Poor): 16%
  • 3 (Bad): 4%
  • 2 (Terrible): 2%
  • 1 (Abysmal): 4%

Overall, the Switch 2 offers a solid foundation with exciting upcoming titles. Despite economic challenges, the console has achieved record-breaking sales and remains poised for growth. Nintendo Life will soon publish a reader-ranked list of the best Switch 2 games.

Players are encouraged to continue rating games and sharing impressions of the evolving library.
