Reports suggest that a potential Game of the Year contender from 2024 will be among the launch titles for the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2, which was unveiled this week after much anticipation. The event showcased the console’s first official glimpse and a new Mario Kart game with an interesting modification to Donkey Kong, but it did not disclose the release date or price of the Nintendo Switch 2. Additionally, no other games for the Nintendo Switch 2 were announced apart from the newly unveiled Mario Kart.
Without any confirmed details, there’s a lot of speculation circulating. For instance, rumors suggest that the price for the Nintendo Switch 2 has leaked. Furthermore, it’s said that a game from last year’s top releases might be launched around the same time as well.
In last year’s Game Awards, the nominees for Game of the Year were Astro Bot, Black Myth: Wukong, Balatro, Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, and Metaphor: ReFantazio. Among these titles, Astro Bot was crowned as Game of the Year. However, it seems that this game is not the one rumored to be arriving on Nintendo Switch 2. Although it would suit the platform well, it’s a PlayStation exclusive, making it unlikely to ever appear on the Nintendo Switch 2 or any other platform besides possibly PC. The game speculated to release on Nintendo Switch 2 is Metaphor: ReFantazio instead.
Launched on October 11, 2024, Metaphor: ReFantazio, a new fantasy RPG series created by Atlus (recognized for the Persona series) and published by Sega, was met with acclaim upon release. The game earned a 94 rating on Metacritic, tying for the highest-rated game of 2024 with Astro Bot and Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree. In addition to its critical success, it swiftly sold one million copies at launch, marking a new record for Atlus as their fastest-selling title to date.
Currently, Metaphor: ReFantazio can be played on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 5 Pro, Xbox Series S, and Xbox Series X. Unfortunately, it’s not playable on the Nintendo Switch yet, but as per the information from PH Brazil, a Nintendo insider, it will be available for the Nintendo Switch 2. It is expected to be released within the launch window of the new console.
Previously, PH Brazil has shown trustworthiness, which is why his news tidbits are often met with curiosity. Yet, it’s worth noting that he has missed the mark on certain stories in the past too. So, when considering this fresh piece of information, remember to approach it cautiously.
As I’m typing this up, neither Nintendo, Atlus, nor Sega has given any statement regarding the latest buzz surrounding our favorite game. For now, we’re not holding our breath for a response, but should anything change, you can bet your last DLC that we’ll keep you posted!
