Alright, so here’s the thing. The Nintendo Switch 2 is nearly at our fingertips — just a few days away, really — and there’s a lot to wag our tongues about. Sure, there’s going to be jazzed-up versions of the classics from the first Switch, and yeah, Mario Kart is getting a shiny new version. But guess what? Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed series isn’t coming along for the ride, at least not yet. Weird, right?
Okay, so Ubisoft’s got this Star Wars Outlaws game, and that’s for sure coming to Switch 2 — that’s hitting us in September. But what about Assassin’s Creed? Nada on that front for now. Honestly, it feels like the perfect time for a shake-up. Start with the latest game, Assassin’s Creed Shadows. Why? Well, there are reasons, I guess.
Sorry, got distracted for a sec. Where was I? Oh yeah, let’s dive deep — or maybe just paddle in the shallow end a bit.
### Bring the Assassins to Nintendo Already!
Switch fans, remember playing Assassin’s Creed on the good old first Switch? A few games made it there, right? AC2, Brotherhood, Revelations — kind of like an old friend group meeting up again, all in one go. And there was Connor Kenway doing his thing in AC3 Remastered. Ah, memories.
But — and it’s a biggie — it’s been a hot minute since the last drop for Nintendo devotees. The last shows on this Nintendo stage were Black Flag and Rogue, all pirates and vibes. Now, if you’re living outside of Japan, you’re kinda outta luck with anything post-2014 from the Assassin’s crew. Maybe it’s time to crack that window open again? Just saying.
### Why Shadows and Why Now?
Assassin’s Creed Shadows, though not, like, the best ever, still made some waves. Critics nodded, fans nodded — basically, people nodded and liked its world and combat. That open-world feel? Could be a killer match for the Switch 2, especially on the go. Quick bursts, lingering over coffee — whatever works!
### Can the Switch 2 Handle It?
Here’s the hiccup, though — can Switch 2 tackle Shadows without a hitch? Hardware’s gotta flex some muscles. I mean, they’re throwing games like Elden Ring and Cyberpunk 2077 at this thing. Will it stand? Who’s to say? Fingers crossed Ubisoft swings it, though. Expectations? Realistic. It doesn’t have to be all shiny like PS5, just don’t pull another Mortal Kombat 1 — yeesh.
Anyway, waiting it out, hoping for the best. Whatever happens, happens.
