Nintendo Switch: Only two games confirmed as launch titles during today’s reveal event

Update: A post-event reveal has also confimed that I Am Setsuna is a launch title as well. Hopefully we’ll hear more of launch titles at the 1.30 am AEDT games presentation early tomorrow morning.

Original story: Today’s Nintendo Switch reveal confirmed a total of two titles available at the console’s launch on 3 March.

Unless we’re mistaken, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and 1 2 Switch were the only titles confirmed for launch. Other titles, like the as-yet-unnamed No More Heroes sequel, seemed in very early planning stages.

Not even Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, essentially a port of the popular Wii U game, will be available at launch.

Does the lack of Switch launch titles concern you? Why or why not?
