Nintendo Switch Games: What's Confirmed and What's Coming Out at Launch

As Nintendo undoubtedly knows, no matter how powerful or how sleek the design of the hardware, a console's fate is decided by its library of games. A healthy combination of first-party exclusives and third-party support is the key to any console's success, something the Wii U learned the hard way - as the console lacked the third-party library to fill in the gaps in the release calendar and died a slow and miserable death. 

The Switch, the company's new console, which is out on March 3, will have turn over a new leaf and deliver plenty of new experiences while also giving a lot of love to its established franchises. The console will launch with a new Legend of Zelda, and will also have a new 3D Mariogame by the end of the year. As far as third-party support, the console will have to count on Super Bomberman R, a new Square Enix JRPG, Sonic Mania, and several ports to fill in those gaps.
