The Nintendo Switch 2 has been on one heck of run through launch. Though it has yet to see new installments of some heavy-hitter franchises, Nintendo’s latest console has built up an impressive library of games over its first year and a half. A chunk of that list includes excellent Nintendo Switch 2 Editions of the Switch’s best games.
Wonder, Kirby and the Forgotten Land, and more have gotten substantial updates that have helped make great Nintendo games even better. That trend is continuing too, as evidenced by the upcoming Pikmin 4 — Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Dandori Academy. Though Nintendo has upgraded a fair amount of the Switch’s crown jewels so far, there are still a few games begging for the Edition treatment.
That includes some top-tier games that could benefit from a tech boost and more niche ones that feel built for the Switch 2’s mouse controls. If there are any more Switch 2 Editions left in the tank, we hope that these make the cut. Following the release of the Switch 2’s excellent Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave, a Three Houses boost feels like a no-brainer.
The tactics game brought the series to new heights of popularity in 2019 and gave the Switch one of its finest RPGs. It could use a visual and performance boost to bring it more in line with Fortune’s Weave as a treat, but that’s not the main draw. It would be a great excuse to bundle in all the content featured in its Expansion Pass, including its Cindered Shadows DLC.
Heck, toss in a few alternate Fortune’s Weave costumes for characters like Seteth who appear in both games as a bonus. If we’re not getting a new 3D Mario game for a little longer, maybe we can at least visit one of the best out there. A Switch 2 upgrade for Super Mario Odyssey feels inevitable considering that Nintendo loves to spruce up the Switch’s best games and resell them, “Greatest Hits” style.
Odyssey doesn’t need much in the way of a technical upgrade, but it would be great to see it bundled with an add-on game in the same vein as Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury. For my money, the compact Bowser’s Fury is an underrated 3D Mario game that transcends its pack-in status. I’d love to see the team at Nintendo EPD get a chance to make another game of its scale that serves as a tasty appetizer for Mario’s next full 3D adventure.
