One year later marks the first year anniversary of the Nintendo Switch, March 3, 2018. How did the Switch do in its first 12 months? What games will come out later this year? Let’s discuss.
Nintendo had a fantastic first year with the Switch. Almost every month, at least one first-party title was released. So many games like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Mario Kart 8: Deluxe, ARMS, and Super Mario Odyssey all released in the same year and can now be played anywhere on the Nintendo Switch.
As for third-party games, many of them released, as well. Despite many of them being ports or remasters like LA Noire from Rock Star, Pay Day 2, DOOM and The Elder Scrolls V: Skryim both from Bethesda, Rayman Legends from Ubisoft and even Minecraft from Microsoft, they all launched on Switch in 2017. Take note that some of these remasters or ports launched on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, as well. Many of these also happened to release in the same few months. Newer games were released, too, of course. You can play Sonic Mania, Sonic Forces, Snake Pass, Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle from Ubisoft (This was licensed by Nintendo.), FIFA 18 from EA, and NBA 2K18 from Take-Two Interactive, just to name a handful.
On January 31, 2018, it was reported by Nintendo as of December 31 of last year or New Year’s Eve, Switch has outsold the Wii U in just ten months and also sold an amazing amount of 14.86 million units. That is very impressive for Nintendo, especially for one of their consoles.
