So far the games released on the Nintendo Switch are pretty much as expected. We’ve gotten titles from The Legend of Zelda franchise, and we’ve also gotten titles based around the Mario franchise, like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, and the recently released Super Mario Odyssey.There are also plans to eventually bring a Pokemon RPG onto the Switch in the future, but like we said, titles based on those franchises have been more or less expected. However it seems that Nintendo has more tricks up their sleeves, according to a recent report by Famitsu (via Siliconera) in which they interviewed the producer of the Switch’s hardware and Super Mario Odyssey, Yoshiaki Koizumi.
During the interview, it seems that Koizumi was quoted as saying that Nintendo has still more IPs planned for the Switch that have yet to be announced, and that these might not necessarily be titles that gamers would expect from the company. “Nintendo still have many IPs which have not come out for the system, and also more than just existing IPs in store as well. We are planning and preparing games that people probably haven’t even thought about, which will be released steadily over the next two years.”
That being said it will be interesting to see how these new franchises will perform. So far the top-selling games for the Switch so far are based on Zelda and Mario, but who knows, perhaps Nintendo could have something new and exciting that will quickly become a fan-favorite.
