Top Wishlist Games for Switch 2 and This Week’s Gaming Insights

In the ever-evolving world of gaming, one of the most intriguing trends isn’t just the sheer volume of titles hitting the market each year, but the staying power of certain blockbuster games. With thousands of new games launching annually, it’s fascinating to see how some of the biggest hits continue to captivate players, long after their initial release, pulling not just their attention but also their dollars. And it’s not just the live-service multiplayer games that are basking in this prolonged glory. Recent sales data reveals an amazing fact: more than a third of the top-selling games of 2024, including standout titles like Elden Ring, are ones that were released several years ago. This phenomenon highlights how certain games manage to carve out a lasting place in the hearts of gamers worldwide. – Ethan Gach
