Switch 2 at Summer Game Fest got AAA games, all the ports, and Ocarina of Time
Nintendo’s Switch 2 marked its first anniversary during Summer Game Fest week, where the annual showcase served as a referendum on the console’s performance and industry support. Early indications are positive: major publishers have committed to the platform with significant day-one releases.
Capcom and Square Enix, both longtime Nintendo supporters, announced that their major 2027 titles—Resident Evil Veronica and Final Fantasy 7 Revelation—will launch on Switch 2 the same day they release on other platforms. This represents a significant endorsement of the console’s viability and market position, signaling strong third-party confidence in the hardware.
Beyond these marquee releases, the showcase also highlighted Nintendo’s ability to secure ports of established games, including a version of Ocarina of Time. The combination of day-one AAA support, legacy title availability, and consistent publisher commitment suggests the Switch 2’s first year has established it as a key platform for the industry, with developers and publishers treating it as an essential launch destination rather than an afterthought.
