Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal

[marvelvscapcom2]

-new first party remaster or remake of some beloved game (my bets are either Zelda or Mario to fill the platforming hole)

I agree, well at least I hope and my guess is windwaker.  The oh so glorious windwaker. They remastered twilight princess, hyrule warriors and skyward sword on switch. The Wii U windwaker obv was on a flop console. And WindWaker had an excellent reaction with it's Wii U port which now feels so long ago.  Oooo please bring WW home. I would throw the wallet if windwaker is released. Or even more deliciously windwaker 2

I really hope so at least. Windwaker on a switch format is one of my gaming dreams.


Other predictions and hopes


1. A remake of another SNES classic. Similar to the Mario RPG ones. My theory is a completely remastered Earthbound.

2. Another Pokemon remastering from DS or gameboy. Maybe Ultra Crystal or Pokemon Moon.


3. Donkey Kong Country - Goin Bananas

4. A solid Mario Baseball.

5. I can foresee another "year of luigi" thing but maybe with Daisy. A character underdeveloped who I dont believe.has her own flagship game. Imagine Diasy Adventires? Or The story of daisy.  Itd be really cool to me. 


6. Luigis Mansion 4

7. Mario Odyssey 2, Zelda BOTW 2 and maybe a revisioned Yoshi Story.

8. Even punchout. What happened to punchout? That would be amazing. Especially in the style of classic NES punchout but with maybe more complex mechanics and a new line of colorful bosses with weaknesses.


Still so much meat on all these IPs. Its why Nintendo is so dominant.

1. Twilight Princess was remastered on the Wii U not the
 switch

2. There is a Wind Waker Sequel it's called Phantom Hourglass

Wow, thanks for this actually.  Ive heard of phantom hourglass but wasnt aware it was a WW sequel. Idk how it slipped my radar.  Perhaps they should upscale that to be a full console game then.  Or windwaker 3 lol.  I just need me some more windwaker.


Maybe they could port a more grandiose version of oracle of ages/seasons.  And make it a 2'fer like they did with lets go pikachu/eevee.    That would be cool.

Still can’t help but feel that they might be shooting themselves in the foot a bit just calling the system the switch 2. The system doesn’t look that staggeringly different compared to the original switch, feel like they might cause a bit of consumer confusion

Still will be less than it was with the Wii U. Lost track of how many customers I had that thought that the Wii U was just an add on for the Wii.

What's everyone's predictions for big releases at launch and year one? Here are mine:


Launch
-Mario Kart 9
-Metroid Prime 4
-new first party remaster or remake of some beloved game (my bets are either Zelda or Mario to fill the platforming hole)


Year One
-Splatoon 4
-Xenoblade 4
-new 3D mainline Mario game
-new dormant franchise entry (my money is on Starfox, but who knows)

Launch
Mario Kart 9 (it's obvious. It was shown)
The rumored Red Dead Redemption II will sell like hot cakes
A dormant franchise being brought back. This would be a good time to do that while the system is the hottest thing on the planet. F-Zero, Donkey Kong Country, Starfox. Any other wouldn't sell well enough as a launch title. There are many longer dormant franchises, but these two would sell.
A remaster or remake of some sort or a possible collection
A surprise AAA third party game coming out of left field like Starfield or Elden Ring something crazy like that
A few indie titles that have been out or coming out soon like Hyper Light Breaker or something of the sort
A possible free model game like Marvel Rivals or something akin to Mario 99
A possible mini-game compilation like Nintendoland wouldn't be out of the question. Especially with the new "mouse" mode for the Joycons.

By Holiday 2025
Metroid Prime 4 (I honestly don't think it will be a launch title)
Another main entry Mario title. Either another 2D platformer or 3D adventure
A couple of more collections/remasters
At least a new Zelda announcement
Some sort of Nintendo spin-off title
Possibly a new console color variant and new Joy Con colors
