Mat Piscatella, a respected industry analyst, noted that Nintendo’s level of third-party support for Switch 2 is unprecedented. He compared it to the GameCube era, a period when Nintendo attracted strong third-party backing. Piscatella believes Nintendo has shifted strategy, aiming to maintain lasting partnerships with developers and publishers.
Historically, third-party support on Nintendo platforms faded, especially after the Wii U. Ubisoft, for example, only offered one title during the original Switch launch, highlighting past reluctance. Nintendo is positioning Switch 2 as a serious competitor by improving hardware and creating a developer-friendly environment.
