The Nintendo Switch 2 has been a big success so far, but it’s also been subject to plenty of criticism. From the high price of the hardware to the reliance on Game-Key Cards for physical releases, a lot of fans have a bone to pick with the system. As it turns out, former Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aimé also wasn’t sold on one key part of the Switch 2’s strategy.

In an interview with The Game Business, Fils-Aimé admits that he was underwhelmed by the line-up of games for the first year of the Switch 2. “From a business perspective, when I first saw that line-up, I scratched my head a little bit.” He goes on to acknowledge that Switch 2 upgrades for original Switch titles have possibly made up for any deficiencies in the library, noting that he “underestimated” how compelling that element would be.

Reggie Fils-Aimé Found The Switch 2’s Release Slate Underwhelming

More B-Sides Than Last Time

The Switch 2 followed up on the Switch’s biggest success by launching with Mario Kart World, and Donkey Kong Bananza followed not long after. In the months since, Pokémon Legends: Z-A and Hyrule Warriors have joined the roster, and Metroid Prime 4 and Kirby’s Air Riders will arrive before the year is out.

While Fils-Aimé acknowledges Bananza as a hit, comparing the library to the first year of the original Switch doesn’t do it any favors. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Odyssey were flagship titles for Nintendo’s biggest franchises, and games like Mario Kart 7 Deluxe, Splatoon 2, and Xenoblade Chronicles 2 helped to complete the compelling picture.

The Switch 2 Has Been A Hit Despite Criticism

Strong Sales In A Flagging Economy

Interest in the Switch 2’s release slate will largely come down to personal preference, but there’s definitely a lack of a killer single-player title on the level of Breath of the Wild (which, to be fair, also released on the Wii U). While Donkey Kong Bananza picks up where Super Mario Odyssey left off, the ape just isn’t a global icon to the same degree as Nintendo’s mascot plumber.

Regardless, the Switch 2 came out of the gate running, selling over six million units in its first seven weeks of release. After making its way into even more households this holiday season, it’s set to be another long-term success for Nintendo. There’s plenty of room for complaints — and I agree with Fils-Aimé‘s essential premise — but for the time being, the Nintendo Switch 2 is still looking bullet-proof.
