Nintendo Co. has asked suppliers to produce as many as 25 million units of the Switch 2 by the end of March 2026, setting the company up for record first-year sales of a console that’s already reached high-water marks for the global gaming sector.
So far we have Donkey Kong Bananza and the upcoming Pokémon Legends Z-A game (it’s in the mail).
DK Bananza is excellent. It’s no Astro Bot or Super Mario Odyssey, but it’s a damn good game, and incredibly fun. I’d give it an 8/10. Pokémon… I’m optimistic it’ll be good overall. I’ve avoided spoilers so I’m looking forward to playing it once I finish my Cyberpunk 2077 playthrough.
Edit: Completely forgot about Mario Kart World or Tour or whatever it’s called. This one’s alright overall. Think I like Mario Kart 8 more, but I’ve been playing that once since it debuted on Wii U.
Edit 2: The console itself is very premium. Build quality is leagues better than Switch 1. Performance is very good and it handles games well. We play docked on the TV and my spouse plays it in handheld sometimes. Significant improvement over Switch 1. Would recommend it in the future once there are more games for it. We play PC, PS5, Nintendo, and Xbox.
My pleasure! Overall it’s a fantastic console - just not the right time to buy if you want exclusive first-party games. There’s hundreds of ports and idies though! We only purchased one because of upcoming tariffs, and somehow my spouse got in the retail lottery draw to purchase one right when the console launched. Had the console in our hands maybe two days after launch day. Ideally we would have bought one when the console hit about two years old and there were more games to play. But to me, it’s not a big deal since we’re patient (and we have other consoles and PCs anyway).
