The Switch has been out now for quite a while and has exceeded a lot of expectations. It's blasted its way through 2017 with some great games to back it up. A fantastic new Zelda and Mario title in the first year, Splatoon and Arms giving us some great multiplayer action and a great bunch of indies and third party titles to fill in the gaps.
The Switch seems to be Nintendo's best offering for a new console since the days of the Gamecube in my eyes, but it's still early days and there's so much more they can do.
Of course we have the known titles to look forward to, such as Yoshi, Kirby and Metroid. We can almost guarantee a new Smash is on the cards for 2018 and I'm sure there's other games I've forgotten about.
But what games haven't yet been announced that you'd love to see on the Switch?
Personally my picks would include some or all of the following:
- A Mario Tennis, Mario Golf or Mario Strikers game. A GOOD one too, none of this "Ultra Smash" business, I want them to put some actual effort into a Mario Sports title. Mario Tennis and Mario Strikers got a lot of playtime in my house back in the day and I'd love to see a return to form. Bring back the crazy smash moves of Power Tennis.
- Mario Party. Possibly a given, but I'd love to see a Mario Party that goes back to the strategy and "board game" feel of Mario Party 1-7 without the whole "everyone is in a car" or Mini Stars. Give me a board, a single star that costs 20 coins, and a bunch of ways to f*** people over such as the capsules in MP5. Oh and online multiplayer would be nice too.
- F-Zero. Probably reaching on this but I'd love to see a proper F-Zero game. I know there are alternatives such as FAST Racing, but it's not the same and doesn't have the same feel to the gameplay. I'd love to see a fully HD F-Zero game.
Some other quick picks:
- A proper Paper Mario game with no terrible card gimmicks
- A new entry in the "Tales" series
- Something Wario related? Warioware? Wario Land? Both?
What would you like to see for the Switch in the coming year/s? And be realistic.
