Nintendo Switch Reveal: 9 Ups & 10 Downs

3. Lacklustre Launch Titles

A real blow to the Switch's credibility is that the reveal only confirmed two launch titles, in 1-2 Switch and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, with I Am Setsuna, Has Been Heroes, Just Dance 2017, Snipperclips and Super Bomberman R oddly being added to the North American line-up post-conference.

While fans can cross their fingers that more titles will be added in the coming weeks, it's a questionable strategy considering how little time there is left until launch.

What's there so far isn't massively encouraging: the Zelda game everyone wants, a party game that should've been bundled, a Bomberman title that probably won't be worth the asking price, a port and a rhythm game.

Without some big-hitters to join Zelda, the Switch might end up being The Zelda Console for a while, which is a shame.
