The year is 2024 and Nintendo still refuses to acknowledge the Nintendo Switch is on its way out. All the signs however are suggesting that is the case and we should be looking at aNintendo Switch 2sometime this year (I won’t be able to take it otherwise).
Of course, a console can be the best thing since sliced bread but if there’s nothing to play on it then it’ll just be an expensive ornament. There’s no way Nintendo will do that, however, and we’re confident the Big N will have plenty of surprises up its sleeve. But if they’re after a little cheat sheet to impress us, here’s what we (the T3 team) would love to see launch with the Nintendo Switch 2.
A supercharged Pokémon

Pretty much the biggest game of 2024 has given Pokémon fans like me (Andy Sansom – Tech Staff Writer) a real awakening.Palworldproves that while Nintendo’s critter-catching series is beloved, it is seriously stuck in the mud.
VioletandScarletwere a step in the right direction with their open-world formula, but I want to see Nintendo really push the boat out with the next instalment. A new generation of ‘mons is always appreciated but even if it’s just anotherPokémon Legends: Arceusspin-off, I need up-to-date graphics and a bunch of new gameplay mechanics ASAP.
The seamless multiplayer, base building and flat-out challenge ofPalworldhave given me an itch I need scratching, with the monsters I know and love not a legally distinct facsimile. I don’t want Digtoise, I want Blastoise. I don’t want Lamball, I want Mareep.
A Yoshi side-scrolling adventure
When it comes to Nintendo, for me (hi!Mike Lowe – T3 Tech Editor) there’s this nostalgic relationship with side-scrolling platform games. I loved playing the old Mario Bros back in the 90s, as I think every kid did, but when “everything went 3D” I really loved that Nintendo continued to invest in these kinds of games all the more.

3D Mario, of course
WhileThe Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wildturned out to be a perfect launch game for Switch, we had to wait until the end of 2017 for a bone fide 3D Mario game to arrive.
But what a game?Super Mario Odysseyis the only Nintendo Switch title I’ve completed twice (it’s-a me,Rik-io Henderson – T3 News Editor) and while there will be some who disagree, it’s my favourite game on the platform. That’s why I really hope that Miyamoto has something up his ridiculously talented sleeves for day one of the Switch 2.
If so, I’d lap it up like banana milkshake. In fact, I might go back and playOdysseyone final time in eager anticipation.
