The Nintendo Switch has been a hit since its launch in 2017. With titles like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and its unique hybrid concept, the console gained immense popularity. Despite Nintendo's continuous support and a plethora of games, several classic franchises have yet to make a return on the platform. Let's explore these long-forgotten series that have not received new installments on the Nintendo Switch.

1 EarthBound

Longing for a Revival

The EarthBound series, known as Mother in Japan, debuted in 1989. Despite its initial release on the NES in Japan, the game was not officially available in the West until EarthBound Beginnings in 2015. The sequel, Mother 3, has never been officially translated or released in the West, leaving fans yearning for a revival of this beloved franchise.

2 Golden Sun

Awaiting the Dawn of a New Title

The Golden Sun series, which commenced in 2001 on the GBA, has not seen a new release since 2010. Loved for its blend of traditional turn-based mechanics and innovative puzzle-solving, fans eagerly await a new addition to the series on the Nintendo Switch.

3 Kid Icarus

Yearning for the Return of Pit

The Kid Icarus series, last revived on the 3DS in 2012, has been in hiatus since then. Fans hope for a remaster of the existing title or a new sequel to breathe life back into this cherished franchise on the Nintendo Switch.
