Cloud Games To Re-release Natively For Nintendo Switch 2

The Nintendo Switch has found overwhelming success in the current market, though one flaw hindering its presence is its now-dated hardware. Its specs aren’t easily compatible with the more demanding games like Metaphor and Yakuza: Like A Dragon. That’s why one of the easier methods for some companies is found in the clouds.

Cloud gaming is different from physical and digital gaming, since it relies on a company’s servers and the user’s stable internet connection. It’s an ambitious method to bring more player convenience with smaller storage requirements. On the other hand, its need for stable wifi can hinder a player’s experience in both multiplayer and single-player games. Cloud streaming still needs fine-tuning to work properly, so a native release is a more reliable method for modern audiences, especially for the Nintendo Switch 2.

10 Ways Gaming Has Changed In 30 Years

There are myriad ways gaming has shifted and changed over the decades, with these things standing out as the most prominent.

Control Ultimate Edition

Mental Director

Action

Third-Person Shooter

Supernatural

Control Ultimate Edition provides a surreal gameplay experience as a PSI agent. It greatly encourages environmental experimentation, since Jessie can control and levitate everything around her, including herself. These skills are needed to eliminate the Hiss, an entity that roams within the Oldest House.

With how much destruction is done in combat, the Nintendo Switch couldn’t keep up with the chaotic battles. That’s why its successor would be a better contender to own a native release to showcase such destructive paranatural powers.

Edge Of Eternity

Corrosive Adventure

• Release: June 8, 2021
• Developer: Midgar Studio
• Publisher: Dear Villagers

Edge Of Eternity is a turn-based strategy JRPG that’s very reminiscent of Final Fantasy 7 with its ATB system. It has straightforward gameplay, though its strategy gets more interesting with its Nexus mechanic. Party members must move within the grid system to attack foes and assist allies, but they can also use environmental advantages like crystals and siege weapons on different nexus spots.

These semi-open world RPGs deliver the best of both worlds, offering detailed areas, rich exploration, and endless adventures to dive into.

This unique RPG would be fitting for the Nintendo Switch 2, especially when considering its world’s lore. It brings an immersive journey through Heryon as the siblings experience the intense conflict between their people and Archelites as they search for the cure for an unstable metal-evolving disease. The streaming service shouldn’t bind the war between magic and technology with its required connectivity.

Thymesia

A Sick Quest

Released

August 15, 2022

Developer(s)

OverBorder Studio

For gamers who like the idea of Dark Souls in a scientific diseased kingdom, Thymesia fits that requirement. Everything in the kingdom of Hermes is ruined by the disease, including items like weapons. Corvus has to use his infected tools, skills, and raven talents to take on the twisted monstrosities.

Just like Dark Souls, the combat isn’t always straightforward or fair. Players always need caution when exploring maze-like areas, since unstable enemies can appear anywhere at any time. Reaction to hostile attacks is necessary to survive the sick kingdom, so a native port will normalize the punishing challenge of finding the cure.

Aliens: Fireteam Elite

Alien Faction War

Cold Iron Studios

Cold Iron Studios

Aliens: Fireteam Elite groups up to three players as marines to complete missions and takedown the Aliens. Xenomorphs aren’t the only threats, since there are other groups to assist with the chaotic battles, like Anathema and Synthetic Synths. Teamwork coordination is required to control multiple destructive enemies by fulfilling given class roles like supportive Recons and aggressive Demolishers.

The game encourages multiple players to work together in the main campaign, though it is possible to play solo. Any confident marine would need more caution on the battlefield when handling waves of enemies themselves. A native release would offer a fair, smoother challenge.

Dying Light 2: Stay Human

Infected Parkour Master

Action

RPG

Survival Horror

Released

February 4, 2022

Franchise

Dying Light

In Dying Light 2: Stay Human, protagonist Aiden lost his sibling in the chaotic infected city. His journey involves complicated moral dilemmas that will affect many human lives. It plays similar to its predecessor, but with an expanded arsenal of moves to smoothly interact with the decrepit world.

It would be best for the sequel to natively port, since players must use Aidan’s improved parkour and combat moves to maneuver through the city safely, especially against hungry zombies. The power of the next Nintendo console can properly show the horrifying undead up close during encounters like the Revenant and Charger.

The Forgotten City

Time Loop In Rome

Dear Villagers

The Forgotten City takes place in ancient Rome, and the protagonist is a customizable character for the player’s creative designs. Players are immersed in the ancient civilization before facing various significant choices. Each decision will create different outcomes, which is important to solve the mystery surrounding the time loop.

The Roman city offers lots of freedom and challenges with its balanced consequences for peaceful, violent, selfish, justified, and other choices. Its huge offerings should fit Nintendo’s next console, letting players take the expressive Roman city on the go.

Resident Evil 2

Before The Accident

Systems

Released

January 25, 2019

Resident Evil 2 deserves another chance to portray the early journey of Leon Kennedy and Claire Redfield on the Nintendo Switch 2. The game doesn’t just give players another chance to explore the modern look of Racoon City, but also another chance to explore a reimagined Resident Evil classic.

The heightened console power would help players see the darker horrors of the infected city with modern controls while sticking to the franchise’s old traditions. Removing the game’s need for stable streaming would make the experience more satisfying with the more detailed scares and interesting new plot.

Marvel’s Guardians Of The Galaxy

Bonds Within Galaxy

Released

October 26, 2021

Marvel’s Guardians Of The Galaxy grants the player leadership of the famous group of space vigilantes. The player is tasked with keeping the team together as Starlord by using his charismatic charm during conversations with the team like mission debriefing. Different responses in some situations can affect a teammate’s bond with the leader.

The classic guardians still display their colorful personalities during combat while listening to the Starlord’s commands, including during huddle-ups. It’s a heavy responsibility for the leader to watch the entire team during intense action or possible consequences in missions. The adventure is huge with its diverse web of choices and team effort, making it an ideal choice to rerelease natively for the Nintendo Switch 2.

Hitman 3

The Life Of A Modern Assassin

Released

January 20, 2021

Hitman 3 not only brings Agent 47 back into the assassin market with new missions, but brings back his previous adventures from the modern predecessors in Hitman: World Of Assassination. It’s the best entry to explore the entire modern adventures of Agent 47 for both veteran and new players, making it perfect for re-release for the Nintendo Switch 2.

To catch Hitman’s targets, players always need patience, environmental knowledge, and precise timing.

Resident Evil 7: Biohazard

Infected Family Bond

Released

January 24, 2017

Resident Evil has been running a similar formula for over two decades with its puzzling environments and horrifying creatures. The series has always kept players on their toes when reaching new areas or turning a corner for a possible surprise. Resident Evil 7 changes its perspective for players to get more personal in the horrifying action.

It’s an absolute must for the new modern Resident Evil to re-release natively for players to showcase the welcoming Baker family on the go. Since it is first-person, it also requires players to aim and dodge infected, supernatural attacks, which are challenging even enough without an unstable internet connection.

Kingdom Hearts Integrum Masterpiece

The Ultimate Disney Experience

Kingdom Hearts Integrum Masterpiece is the culmination of the beloved franchise that allows players to engage with many Disney worlds. The protagonist develops his perspective as he faces several conflicts on the battlefield and within his own heart.

Taking such a huge journey on the go is the greatest benefit for fans who love to interact with characters from Nightmare Before Christmas, Aladdin, The Lion King, and even Steamboat Willie. The game also includes such stellar combat which only gets more explosive and chaotic through later adventures. The fast-paced action needs such stability for players to survive, especially when facing the more gruesome super bosses.
