My guess would be a 3D Mario and Mario Kart in the first 1-2 months … since there was no „real/new“ Mario Kart for Switch
Let’s look at their studios. EPD 1 no longer exists. EPD 2 mostly works with 3rd party studios. EPD 3 is Zelda team, with both TotK and EoW so recently they won’t have anything new ready to go. EPD 4 will probably have a 1-2 Switch type tech demo for release, but that barely counts. EPD 5 is likely focusing on Animal Crossing rather than Splatoon, so I’d expect an AC game coming launch year. EPD 6 might be collaborating on partners on Luigi’s Mansion 4, a new Paper Mario, and/or a new WarioWare, in addition to their production work on Metroid Prime 4. LM4 might actually be a system seller with how well 3 sold on Switch, so maybe put a bet down for that. EPD 7 does minigame collections and 2D Metroid, so maybe Metroid 6? EPD 8 is 3D Mario, discussed in the video. EPD 9 does Mario Kart, which we should expect launch year. EPD 10 probably won’t have a game ready for launch, but maybe Pikmin 5 and/or Mario Maker 3 will be coming soon-ish. And that’s all their studios.
I really hope the online service is not another full reset and then waiting on a trickle of retro games and is just a continuation of the switch library, tbh i would be more hyped for better running switch 1 games lol
Probably just 3D Mario on Day 1 if we’re talking big sellers, Metroid isn’t a big enough IP to where MP4 can carry an entire system launch alone (this is
I got a feeling an Ocarina of Time remake is coming.
At this point, I expect switch 2 won't launch until late 2025. I agree Mario Odyssey 2 or Mario Kart 9 is likely to be a launch game. The big question is whether they have a plan to dual launch their games going forward, like MP4 and Pokemon.
There's been rumors floating around of FF7 Remake being shown on Switch 2 in behind closed door showcases. Would not surprise me if that is a Day One third party port to show off the power of the console.
Ocarina of Time AND Majora's Mask ultra HD remake. adding hard difficulty modes (twice as many enemies, woth more difficult enemies appearing frequently, dealing double damage, taking half damage, and having more advanced ai, along with hearts and magic appearing sparsely) and new post-end game content for both games would just top it off to the next level. imagine brand new dlc for those legendary titles. I would lose my shit.
Hear me out... F-Zero with a gimmick that takes advantage of the increased memory speeds.
In term of ports, I think games from 2018 - 2020 and less demanding current gen and cross gen games will be in high demand. Games like FF7 Remake, Red Dead Redemption 2, Elden Ring, RE4 Remake, Persona 3 Reload, Sea of Thieves, Genshin Impact, Psychonauts 2, Sekiro, DMC5, Tomb Raider reboot games, Final Fantasy 14, Jedi Fallen Order, Control, Star Wars Squadrons, Kena Bridge of Spirits, Armored Core 6, Lies of P, Street Fighter 6, Diablo 4, any major Ubisoft games from the past decade.
My theory is that Bowsers Fury was a test and proof of concept for...
I’m expecting a brand new 3D Mario on launch day and Mario Kart 9 in the first months.
Red Dead redemption 2, Mario Kart 9, new Mario, prime and tears
I think big 3rd party port will be Elden Ring given the good relationship between Bandai Namco and Nintendo. I also would not surprise if we see some of the newer Final Fantasy games.
I know ray tracing was brought up in some of the leaked chips so I really think we will see a Nintendo game that focuses heavily on light and the way its cast
Hear me out. They've done three Pilotwings games (SNES, N64, 3DS) to showcase "this system can do THIS?"
New 3D Mario, Mario kart 9, smash.
Switch 2 has apparently been ready since last year. I believe they are holding back the console for a new 3D Mario game to be ready to ship. Nintendo can hold back their hardware until the software is ready while with everyone else the hard deadline is shipping the hardware with no regards to software lineup. Its a huge advantage to Nintendo controlling the hardware/software stack.
A new 3D Mario for sure. Mario Kart 9, Animal Crossing, Kirby, a 1-2 Switch type "gimmick" release. You'll likely see a deluge of 3rd parties (especially Capcom, Square-Enix, and Ubisoft, and maybe Sega-Atlus too) porting over most if not all of the games they couldn't bring to OG Switch. I can also see Falcom doing re-releases/performance boosts for their older Switch titles, much as they had with PS5.
They’ve been pretty good at keeping some things under wraps lately.. all I know is I hope they are able to excite us when they do decide to throw out a Switch 2 teaser trailer. Definitely hoping for a new 3D Mario.
