It feels like yesterday when we stood first in line at our local target to grab a Nintendo Switch with neon red and blu joy-cons. But truth is, the Nintendo Switch is 1 year old now. The switch has had a big success story, with near 15 million units sold in it’s first 12 months, and plenty of amazing games yet to come, the hybrid console seems unstoppable.
Nintendo has taken the opportunity to reflect on it’s first year. Nintendos general manager Shinya Takahashi is certainly partially responsible for the huge success of the console. To celebrate the Switch’s birthday he sat down to answer some questions. You can check out the short interview in the video below.
While the first year has been a huge success, it is important for Nintendo to keep delivering on it’s promise to bring all major first party games to the Switch. At the beginning of last year Reggie, president of Nintendo North America, stated that the big N wants to bring all it’s major IP’s to the Switch “our philosophy at Nintendo is to have one great experience of each franchise on each console. So, in the future, who knows when – you can anticipate that all our big franchises will be addressed”, this of course includes two of Nintendos biggest franchises, Smash Bros and Animal Crossing.
Only a few days ago Nintendo released a demo for the upcoming Kirby Star Allies Game. There have also been recent rumors about a possible Smash Bros Switch release this year. So all in one, the second year looks promising already.
Support for the switch has been great, with even the original Harvest Moon creator announcing two Switch games to be released this summer. Little Dragon Cafe and Happy Birthdays – the beginning will both be released on Switch in just a few months. But fans are waiting for more 1st party support from Nintendo, like Animal Crossing Switch, Smash Bros, Metroid Prime, Pikmin and more. While Nintendo is releasing the upcoming Kirby game, and Nintendo Labo where players can craft, and play – it will be interesting to see when the big N talks about it’s next major releases. Possibly at E3, where Nintendo reserved a huge space.

Aksys Games, publisher of Little Dragons Cafe, is bringing a new animal care game to the Switch.
At the recent New Game+ Expo, Asksys Games announced that they will be bringing the adorable pet care game Pups & Purrs Animal Hospital to the Nintendo Switch. Aksys Games is also involved with some other super cute games on the Switch, like Waku Waku Sweets and Pretty Princess Party. So it is safe to say that they know what they are doing when it comes to picking the right games for the right consoles.

Here are some of my favorite farming games currently available, or coming soon, for the different consoles.
It seems that these days new farming games are coming out left and right. And because most single-person or small-team indie groups tend to build their games on PC, we get a lot of these awesome farming games on PC first. Compared to ten years ago, Steam is overflowing with farming games! Sometimes they come to console later, but some will remain exclusive forever.
But there is good news for everyone who has a preference for console gaming, or who doesn’t have a game-worthy PC right now. We’ve put together a satisfyingly large list of farming games that are either already available on console, or are confirmed to be coming to console at a later time.
Here are some console games that contain farming, growing or gardening mechanics, and they are all available on at least one dedicated gaming machine that is currently still in production. But they are not all in the same genre, and the emphasis placed on farming is different in each game, so these lists represent a variety.
I hope you’ll spot some of your favorites here, and maybe even have a few more to tell me about, so we can continue to make this list longer and longer.
