Notes about this draft

It will almost certainly be WP:TOOSOON to publish this draft until the April 2, 2025 Nintendo Direct. Please don't attempt to, as it'll almost certainly be deleted or sent back to draft space if done too early.
The "rumored" section is not intended to ever be published as is, its just for helping building and prepare the list for when it is ready to be published. Sergecross73 msg me 16:13, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You may end up needing a backward compatibility column. Too soon to say, of course, but throwing it out there.Darkage7 _[Talk] 17:09, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, we'll have to wait and see. I was trying to keep it simple. We had a lot of problems with the original List of Nintendo Switch games because there were so many games that it kept hitting Wikipedia page size limits. If its something like the Sega Saturn or Dreamcast, its no big deal, but if its huge like the first Switch, it'll be a problem again. Sergecross73 msg me 18:02, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

An idea for the future of this article

Should we add a list of OG Switch Games that aren't compatible with switch 2? or would that make more sense on the list of og switch games? TotallynotWario (talk) 19:11, 18 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I think it'll depend on how that all plays out. We don't even know if it 5 or 500 games that will be incompatible yet. Sergecross73 msg me 19:13, 18 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That sounds good, I would assume the amount of non compatible games would be pretty small, the labo games most likely being on that list due to size difference between switch 1 and switch 2. TotallynotWario (talk) 15:58, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Mainspace redirect

While this draft is in the works, should the List of Nintendo Switch 2 games namespace be a redirect until this draft is ready to be approved? SleepDeprivedGinger (talk) 16:54, 29 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I could go either way on it. I considered creating one that went to Nintendo Switch 2#Software. On one hand, games are mentioned there. On the other hand, there's no "list", and it could go up for deletion. Its up to you if you'd wish to try it. It's a short-term issue - I'm almost certain we'll be ready to publish it on April 2. Sergecross73 msg me 16:59, 29 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No, I think you've got a good point there. It just seems kinda unnecessary now that I think about it. In addition, the redirect most likely wouldn't even last long due to how close the Direct is. As long as enough games are confirmed or revealed by then, we might as well go without one. I'm willing to hear a counterargument, but I don't see why there should be a redirect for now.
