Notice - Inclusion Criteria
Due to the relative ease of publishing games to the Nintendo Switch as compared to previous Nintendo consoles, and the necessity of avoiding Wikipedia becoming a catalogue or database, a consensus was reached that this list should only contain notable games. As the term "notable" can be ambiguous, a number of discussions were held leading to a consensus that games must meet one of the following criteria to be included:
- Have been mentioned in a reliable secondary source that is not a catalogue/database, or
- Have an article on the English Wikipedia, or
- Are part of a series which has its own article on the English Wikipedia
The points on games with their own article are mainly to reduce the page size by not duplicating sources that are already on the article page. The game/series article itself must still have the relevant sourcing to pass WP:GNG.
These notability criteria are in addition to the standard verifiability criteria - in the context of this article, a reliable source must be cited for the game and its release date(s). In addition, for information about games which have not yet been released (or release dates for regions into which games have not yet been localized) the sources must be from the last 2 years, as there are a number of known cases where Switch games have been announced and then have apparently been quietly cancelled without any further mention of them. |
