Nintendo recently released a verbatim transcript of a recent investor Q&A session, further elaborating on its financial data and performance for fiscal year 2026. One of the current concerns among fans is that Switch 2 seems to lack "blockbuster" first-party games. Although works such as "Yoshi", "Ghost Warrior" and "Fire Emblem" have been announced, core IPs such as Mario and Zelda have not yet appeared.
Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa responded that more Switch2 games are being planned, but have not been announced yet. He said in response to an investor who expressed concerns about the lengthened development cycle and Nintendo's ability to maintain a stable release pace:
"Ideally, we would like to launch new games more frequently and in a more timely manner. But as you pointed out, the software development cycle is indeed longer than before. Even so, we will continue to ensure that a large number of games can be played on Switch2 by improving the development system and process."
"As for the future, we are preparing various new works for Switch 2, whether they are so-called 'blockbuster' works or not. In addition, in addition to the announced games, there will be new works ready in the second half of this fiscal year, and specific information will be announced at the appropriate time."
Furukawa's statement on whether the game is a "blockbuster" deserves attention. Judging from works such as "Splatoon: Splatoon" and "Star Fox", Nintendo seems to be seriously pursuing a more flexible game pricing strategy. The company is expected to maintain a release cadence of one game per month, with both large and small titles included.
All that said, if you're worried about Nintendo's current lineup of games, you might want to be patient. More games are coming, with information expected to be announced in the coming weeks and months.
