Although I suspect with 4 hours allowed that is time for two big games, a handful of small and then 10 goes on Just Dance

Or, instead of playing the games, hear me out: 

seeing how many times you can snap the Joy-Cons in place in a four hour window  

(& maybe just enough time to figure out a way to steal one with the aid of fellow attendees idk)

Nope, no joy(con) for me either. Congrats to those that got selected!

Well well well…

With Forza now coming to PS5, I think it’s safe to say that we’ll also be seeing it and everything else under the Xbox banner now coming to Switch 2.

I am 95% confident that Halo The Master Chief Collection will be a day 1 launch title now; and it’s going to be utterly massive on the platform.

Mark my words, Microsoft will be the single biggest 3rd party contributor to Switch 2 throughout its lifetime; by an absolute country mile.  So much so, that Switch 2 will essentially be an Xbox console in all but name.

If Nintendo were looking for something to truly differentiate Switch 2 from its predecessor? They just found it!

I think the bigger question is what year do you think will be the last Just Dance release on Switch? 

I could see it going to 2029.

Feels kind of obvious to state at this point given that it's coming to PS5, but eXtas1s is saying that Forza Horizon 5 will indeed be coming to Switch 2. 

Like @Dcubed said, I imagine this is going to be the case for as much of the Xbox catalogue as the Switch 2 can handle. 

I'm curious to see what's there at launch. I think Halo and Forza Horizon both would be an absolute killer Day 1 combo. 

...which is exactly why curation of your catalogue's releases is so important. You read to start taking some notes come the launch of the Switch 2, Phil & co.?

I hope we get some of the classic OG Xbox and 360 titles ported over as well.  I bet there’s a very large Nintendo audience who would love to see the likes of Fable 1-3, PGR 1-4, Grabbed by the Ghoulies etc hit the Switch 2.

Focusing only on their newer titles would be a big mistake.  Get an OG Xbox and 360 emulator up and running on Switch 2 and get those older titles on the console too!

I think the PGR games are wishful thinking seeing as they're not even on Xbox BC. As much as I'd like to see them too, it seems like they've given up with that now and what's currently available is all we're potentially going to get. 

Fable and Grabbed by the Ghoulies seem much more reasonable, especially the latter.

And real ports of everything on Rare Replay (well, emulation for pre-64 stuff is fine). I think good remasters of everything N64 onwards would perform well on Switch/Switch 2.

Yep, a re-tooled version of Rare Replay would do very nicely on the Switch 2, it could even launch with the console... depending on when it launches, it would be very close to the ten year anniversary of Rare Replay, as it originally launched as an Xbox One exclusive title on 4th August, 2015.

If we get Forza, we need analogue triggers or it’s just going to be a subpar experience. 
Maybe the Mario Kart Wheel that only I bought () will be compatible with Switch 2 games so we at least have that way to have analogue go and stop pedals.
