Personal opinion of launch titles for Scot the Woz's Switch 2.0


There are a few things I believe Scott the Woz did wrong when making his video.  He didn't cover enough launch titles.

First of all, pokemon never comes out in the first year of a console.

He also ignored the virtual console, which I believe is a mistake.


First off, I believe that, for genre variety on day one, an RPG is in order.  Zelda, while a prerequisite of decent sales, is not a killer app for anyone.  Pokemon Colosseum or XD, when avaliable brand new, are.  The Orre games would bring more people into pokemon, especially when marketed like a traditional RPG.  This would require quite a bit of marketing, but would give pokemon fans, especially the more grown ones who would more likely be able to afford a console on day one, but it could also bring in more standard RPG guys too.  Bring in mega evolution and it will be a popular pokemon game.  While the originals didn't sell all too well, people who grew up with the series would, there is quite a lot of demand for a more adult-oriented game, and about 2 million sales would be a conservative estimate, and it could easily break ten million.  This game would be aimed at the fandom which wants a more maturish pokemon game.

Second, a game you would want in the first week would be Super Smash bros Melee on the virtual console, Melee is still popular and with good online, it would sell about a million, at most, but with a lowered price I could see a few thousand, and it could drive a few thousand sales if advertised and anounced with the console, or if an orchestrated leak drummed up hype.  

Third, as a game launched with the VR, Virtual Console Virtual Boy Wario Land.  This would be a game that would get people curious about the game to buy the peripheral, since it'd be cheeper than on the original virtual boy.

Fifth, I would want to ensure that some cross platform games, like the new just dance, are avaliable, as well as most cross platform games released that year, just with a delayed release of the day the system launches.  

I would also like to suggest that if we are going to have cross-platform support, we need some adult and teen friendly games, so in the first few months, maybe F-Zero.  This is if no racing game is avaliable at launch.  

Of cross platforms avaliable, I would suggest if sonic has a 2d platformer, to include that, also, some big multiplatforms such as GTA5 and Skyrim would be a good thing to include on any new system, also bring Doom original, and 2016.

For third party games, I'd say a new megaman on week 2-4 would be good, a more sidescroller style.

I would also, finally, give the console Java support so you could run the true version of Minecraft on it.  Minecraft Java's various servers cover the battle royale genre and I'd suggest end of the month of release to drop minecraft java (real) edition.

In mid july abouts, I would drop Sonic CD virtual console and Night Trap VC.
