"Unless you love Japanese role-playing games, in which case boy, oh boy, even in its first year the Switch 2 is already shaping up to be the console of your dreams. A flood of recent JRPGs and a ton of new ones on the horizon have paved the way for an unprecedented run of turn-based mechanics, epic boss fights, and rewarding grind marathons on Nintendo's new hardware."
"Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection is a turn-based spin-off in which you hatch, raise, and ride monsters ("Monsties," lol) instead of fighting them. It's got a pretty generous free demo out already. The Adventures of Elliot is an HD-2D Zelda-like from the makers of Octopath Traveler. And Granblue Fantasy: Relink is a streamlined action-RPG in which you travel the skies in an airship doing multiplayer Monster Hunter-like raids with really fun combat."
The partner-focused Nintendo Direct failed to impress general audiences while strongly favoring Japanese role-playing game fans. Nine JRPGs were confirmed for Switch 2 between March and summer, including Monster Hunter Stories 3 (March 13), Tales of Arise - Beyond the Dawn Edition (May 22), Final Fantasy VII Rebirth (June 3), The Adventures of Elliot (June 18), Granblue Fantasy: Relink - Endless Ragnarok (July 9), Digimon Story Time Stranger (July 10), Culdcept Begins (July 16), and Another Eden Begins (summer). Monster Hunter Stories 3 is a turn-based spin-off focused on hatching, raising, and riding Monsties with a generous demo available. The Adventures of Elliot adopts HD-2D Zelda-like design, and Granblue Fantasy: Relink brings airship-based multiplayer raids, cross-play, and new DLC Endless Ragnarok to Switch 2.
