The Nintendo Switch 2 gets its official reveal on Wednesday. This jump from the Switch to the Switch 2 is an interesting time for the Mario maker as the company is improving on all aspects of the previous console without trying something completely «new.» It’s reminiscent of the jump from the NES to SNES. Since Nintendo has seemingly figured out what it wants the Switch to be, as it was the console that pioneered this current handheld gaming boom we’re seeing right now (both Sony and Microsoft are looking to release portable consoles), it means Nintendo can hunker down and focus on releasing great games instead of trying to reinvent the wheel.
For that reason, Nintendo should look deep into its game catalog and bring back its forgotten classics. Games that were some of the best titles for their respective generations but haven’t been heard from in decades. It’s time for Nintendo to put its resources into pushing the envelope in game development further by taking these franchises and giving them a new lease on life by coming up with a formula that gamers haven’t seen before (or were maybe too young to experience the first time around).
Here are 10 forgotten Nintendo games I’d like to see return on the Switch 2.
