Switch 2 is rumoured for 2024, but what could be launch titles? Metroid prime 4 would be a candidate, but might not a be a system seller.

A new 3d Mario could be a possibility, given wonder is a 2.5d and another team might be working on something.

Zelda - we've just had totk released so that seems out.

Mario kart 9 could be a system seller.

Splatoon 3 was only recently released.

What else could be lined up for a launch window, assuming a 2024 release? Maybe 2024 is less plausible 🤔

A top-down Zelda could be in the cards. Perhaps a Links Awakening style remake of the Oracle games or Minish Cap

Much smaller in scope than TotK and therefore much faster and cheaper to develop, especially if they just re-use the LA engine.

I'd love that, but imo ALttP is the one in most dire need of a proper remake

It was years after the Switch came out that I finally decided to get one, and honestly the one game that combined me to get it was Link's Awakening. I love that game so much!

Over the years, I ended up spending the most time playing Animal Crossing. I beat Mario Odyssey and it was nice. I really could not get into Breath of the Wild at all, or the sequel.

Yep, their Zelda release strategy is to release a remake during long development cycles for new titles. I see this as virtually guaranteed.
