Which franchises do you want to see on Switch 2? (Nintendo)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The release schedule for the Switch 2<\/a> is a mystery beyond this year but what secrets are Nintendo<\/a> working on and when might they appear?<\/p>\n

Several important Nintendo franchises haven\u2019t been announced for the Switch 2, as well as some less important ones that could flourish on the console.<\/p>\n

There were plenty of exciting game reveals at the Nintendo Switch 2 showcase, particularly from Nintendo itself. Although the likes of a new Mario Kart<\/a> and 3D Donkey Kong<\/a> were expected, they nonetheless made strong first impressions, but you also had genuine surprises like a new Hyrule Warriors<\/a> and a Kirby Air Ride sequel.<\/p>\n

However, a decent chunk of Nintendo\u2019s announcements involved ports of Switch 1<\/a> games (a couple of which aren\u2019t even out yet), leaving several big names oddly absent. It\u2019s obviously still early days, but it\u2019s surprising Nintendo didn\u2019t even mention some of its most important franchises.<\/p>\n

As such, we\u2019ve scoured the entirety of Nintendo\u2019s library to highlight the games missing from the Switch 2\u2019s line-up, from those guaranteed to make an appearance to those that deserve it because they could make the most of the console\u2019s new features.<\/p>\n

1. Super Mario<\/h2>\n
