Much like the original Switch, its direct successor, the Switch 2, is a console that's perfect for developing and enjoying games of various genres. Understanding this, Nintendo will likely create more first-party titles that take advantage of its ability to bring out the potential of whatever it tackles.
Given that the console has powerful hardware and more modern-day features, it has better opportunities to do so than its predecessor. In fact, the Switch 2 could do what the Switch wasn't able to, and that's giving fans a top-quality pet simulator game.
Nintendo is no stranger to the genre, as proven by its Nintendogs and Nintendogs + Cats, which sold nearly 24 million and 5 million copies worldwide, respectively. Since it can generate that much success, it wouldn't be surprising if the company chooses to try its hand at creating another well-received pet simulator game once again, and the Switch 2 is the absolute perfect console to house it.
But why the Switch 2 and not the original Switch? Well, to start, the more modern console has the advantage of having a built-in microphone. One of the best ways to simulate owning a pet is by actually being able to talk to it, which can only be done if there's a proper mic.
That of the Switch 2 is good and even top-quality, as it ensures players can voice out clear and concise greetings or commands to their pets. As for how, it's due to the console's microphone automatically filtering out background noise and game sounds, meaning whatever you say will be heard loud and clear to whoever or whatever is listening.
Another good reason why the Switch 2 would make the perfect console for a new first-party pet simulator is that it has many features that can make for an amazing one. A good example is the Joy-Con mouse feature, as implementing it in gameplay allows for more precise handling of items needed to engage in activities with a pet as opposed to the move stick of a controller.
A second good example, which I think is the perfect one that fully warrants a Switch 2 exclusive pet simulator, would be the console's GameChat feature. By integrating it into the game, it simulates how people would share their real-life pet with others, but in this case, in a digital space.
Such things can result in a pet simulation game that provides a truly immersive experience, which is especially important for those who can't indulge in the joy of owning an actual pet and are looking for an alternate method of doing so. The power of the Switch 2 also means better chances of allowing for a pet AI that's as close to the real thing as possible, further enhancing the feeling of owning a dog, cat, or any animal without actually having to own it.
Nintendo has one tool necessary for providing people with an amazing modern-day pet simulator game via the Switch 2, and it would be a waste of potential if it didn't. Hopefully, the day will come when the company develops one for the console, and that it happens soon.
