Yakuza on Switch 2: A Port Paradigm Shift
The announcement of Yakuza Kiwami 1 & 2 heading to the Switch 2 has sent ripples of excitement throughout the gaming community. It signals a willingness to bring more mature, graphically intensive titles to Nintendo’s ecosystem, especially with the rumored 4K capabilities of the new console. This begs the question: what other classic, non-Nintendo franchises absolutely NEED to be ported to the Switch 2 to take full advantage of that 4K power?
Gears of War: Lancer Action on the Go?
Imagine chainsawing Locust hordes in stunning 4K resolution on a handheld. Gears of War, with its visceral action and compelling story, could find a new audience on the Switch 2. The strategic, cover-based gameplay would translate beautifully to a portable format, offering both intense single-player and potentially scaled-down, but still thrilling, multiplayer experiences.
Mass Effect: A Galaxy to Explore in 4K
The Mass Effect trilogy, already remastered, would be an incredible addition to the Switch 2 library. Exploring the Milky Way, making crucial decisions, and building relationships with memorable characters, all in 4K? The improved visuals would enhance the already immersive experience, making it a must-have for both returning fans and newcomers.
Batman: Arkham – Become the Night in 4K
Rocksteady’s Batman: Arkham series redefined superhero games. Gliding through Gotham’s shadows, engaging in bone-crunching combat, and solving intricate mysteries would be even more captivating in 4K. The Switch 2 could offer the definitive portable Arkham experience, allowing players to truly “be the Batman” wherever they go.
