But it still feels like the Switch 2’s games lineup is missing something very important.

I think the Switch 2 havingMario Kart Worldas a launch titleis a smart move.

Now, I will say that the criticism of the Nintendo Direct was probably a little overblown.

The video previewed about 40 games, and discussed updates for games likeMario Kart 8andMario Strikers: Battle League.

I also already own a lot of the third-party games announced for the Switch 2 on other platforms.

Announcing some new cozy games would be a huge motivator for me to buy a Switch 2.
