I imagine Silksong gets a release date announced for all platforms during Microsoft’s Gamescom things, but there are a number of third party games with no release dates that could feasibly show up here. I’m hoping for the likes of Mouse: P.I. for Hire. Plus there will probably be a bunch of games that are old news on PC and other consoles but get release dates for Switch 2 now that Nintendo has a platform that can handle them.
It is hard to tell but either Nintendo are still being insanely stingy with devkits or they are actively snubbing any studio with ties to Tencent. So… that is gonna be a big impact for a lot of the “This already exists on X and now it is getting a Switch 2 release” “nindies”.
Studios like Digital Extremes have been pretty open that they can’t “port” their switch 1 games (in this case, Warframe) to take advantage of the hardware because they just haven’t gotten a devkit no matter how much they ask. I saw speculation that a lot of the studios being open about this are affiliated/owned by Tencent to a significant degree, but it is unclear if that is “Nintendo hates Tencent” or “Tencent owns a significant chunk of the world and the studios that are financially stable would risk openly complaining”
