Forge Even More Third-Party Deals
While Nintendo’s first-party teams make some of the best games out there, it’s simply too hard to fill the entire year with titles from them.
Nintendo has done a fantastic job of working with third-party studios over the last couple of years. They partnered with other studios on games like Fire Emblem Warriors, Cadence of Hyrule, Dragon Quest XI S, and Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3.
Third-party exclusives have also come to Switch, like Octopath Traveler, Astral Chain, Daemon X Machina, Golf Story, The Stretchers, and more. Past that, we’ve seen some huge third-party titles, like Witcher 3 and Overwatch, come to Switch.
It’s imperative that Nintendo continues to support these relationships, as third-party games are a tremendous help when it comes to fleshing out Nintendo’s release calendar, and constantly keeping something interesting on the Switch.
As PlayStation and Xbox amp up, Nintendo will want to stack the deck with as many releases as possible. Let third-party companies work on famous franchises like Star Fox or F-Zero, continue to bring big games to the system that you wouldn’t expect.
We know that No More Heroes 3 and Bayonetta 3 are on the way, but if Nintendo can bring even more to the system next year, it’d be a strong move.
