Well, Nintendo was still supporting 3DS with software in 2018, so it's hard to say. (In 2016, before Switch was announced, I said this would happen.)
Metroid Samus Returns released during late 2017, the year that Switch launched.

Hey everyone, staff have documented a list of banned content and subject matter that we feel are not consistent with site values, and don't make sense to host discussion of on Famiboards. This list (and the relevant reasoning per item) is viewable here.

I both agree abd disagree. I feel forum posting can be more interactive, having everything on discord also keeps this tidy and organized lol.
People said 2021 would be equivalent to 2017 (It wasn't imo, but still solid), but I feel that is going to be inherently true for 2022.
Splatoon 3, BOTW 2, Bayo 3, M+R2, Arceus, Advance Wars, Kirby, God of War, Forspoken, FF16??, Star Ocean, Horizon, GT7, Elden Ring, Saints Row, FF Origin, Triangle Strategy, Starfield, Digimon Survive, Eiyuden, Project Eve??, Metal Slug, Redfall, Monark and more I'm too lazy to type on my phone XD
This doesn't include some possible rumors of 2022 happenings.
Well, they're forgetting the real Nintendo fans #1 dream, a new Custom Robo game

A successor can come in 2023 or 2024 with Switch support continuing in those years. Cross-gen software support is likely, I think.
Edit - not saying 2023/24 are definite times for a successor because I'm still not sure exactly what to expect from the new hardware.

Just sad there wasn’t room for a sWIItch Sport Resort or Nintendo Land. Ok, the casual family game section was covered with 1-2 Switch and Clubhouse, but why not having the signature game of the Wii and Wii U despite having so many ports?

Well, I mentioned Star Fox and Pikmin 4, but for me, Switch is still lacking Donkey Kong, and hopefully all the rumors are true and next year we'll finally get it.
sure, I'm also feeling a huge empty space of Mario Kart, 2D Mario and so on.. but those I think Nintendo will skip it because the Wii U ports are doing well. :\

See that's what I was thinking! That'd be my box checked for sure (or even just a port of the original, geez). So @Emily I second his question.
American English is arguably the worst English tho. And I say that as an American.Soprano doesn’t rhyme with chrono
At least not in American English

Ya know, all things considered, I feel pretty well taken care of with Switch in terms of games. Not a lot of dream Nintendo games left for me. My backlog is kinda ridiculous at this point. I’d even call it irresponsible of me. I need to start being smarter with my money lol
I do require a new F-Zero, Nintendo!

So, I never said anything about Star Fox, at all. This is why I don't say much about Nintendo's plans anymore. Because people struggle to keep track of who says what: "Did Jeff Grubb report this"..."Did SamusHunter talk about this"..."Did Zippo say this"..."Did Sabi say that"..."What did King Zell say?"...."Did "[insert name]" report this?"..."What did Eurogamer say?"
Like that Donkey Kong rumor. That rumor came from Damien McFarren, DKVine and Zippo (not me). I hope the rumor is true, but I haven't heard anything about it on my end. There could be two reasons my contacts are not hearing about it: Maybe it's super early in development? Or maybe my contacts aren't aware of that particular project?
I try to be very, very careful about what I say.
The VR announcement (Labo VR).
Or when I said Bayonetta 3 wasn't Platinum's only Switch game.... (Astral Chains was announced months after I said that.)
Weeks before E3, I sent you all a tip on Resetera that a new Metroid + Nintendo hardware revision would be announced in the summer. They both were announced within a month.
RE: Pikmin 4 - It's always been in an experimental stage. That's probably why Nintendo told Miyamoto to shut up about it. I don't know if it'll ever become an actual finished product. It's never been that far into development. On my end, I haven't heard anything about it releasing this year.

Words that rhyme with Chrono
Soprano is actually pretty close to the top of the list. I think some people pronounce "Chrono" with a soft first "o" (like krah-no) so that probably brings up the "soprano" rhyme. Those people are wrong, but still. Also there's a surprising proportion of Italian words on that list so it's funny that your mind went right to one.
I mean it's obvious after the positive reception of the NSO release, right?

I think the likeliest course for an EPD Tokyo developed DK game right now is that it's the 2D game they were hiring for at one stage. There remains the possibility that EPD 8 (Tokyo) and EPD 10 (Kyoto) are collaborating on a 2D Mario title together, but I don't think there's form for two internal production groups to be put on the same project in that way, even though development collaboration is pretty much the standard these days.
I don't know if anybody ever said the DK game was definitely 3D, either. I thought DK Vine and Nintendo Life actually went out of the way to say they didn't know which it was, and DK Vine speculated it would be a hybrid.

Some of my friends have already picked up Mario Party All-Stars. This game is gonna be huge. I mean that was obvious but this one feels like it's gonna be really big right out of the gate with a lot more Month 1 purchases than Super Mario Party. I hear the online is working well so combined with the Animal Crossing expansion coming out in a few days, it should be a big boom to NSO subscriptions as well.

Thanks for clarifying that up, because I probably heard something about Star Fox being reported by you from somewhere else. Those things are indeed hard to keep track of, and many wires get crossed along the way
On DK, I don't think the rumors are too far fetched, so I'm counting on materialize soon enough.
It's Star Fox that always seemed a bit shakey to me, since Zero was such a bomb and Nintendo kinda positioned Starlink as the game of this gen.
And Pikmin 4 continues to be a fable~

I agree Discord is more organized and tidy. I just do not see Discord or any social network being a forum replacement or killer. As big of a boomer as I am for forums I do miss the days they were more of a thing. lol

From what I remember of Star Fox discussion on The Old Place, I think it was the case that people misinterpreted something you said, or simply used it as the basis for hopeful speculation. I think you commented on Star Fox being a franchise Nintendo would likely keep prototyping, rather than ever saying that Star Fox was in firm development, and people ran with that as the basis for Star Fox coming to Switch.

I am serious when I say that Star Fox 64 has one of my favorite credits of any game ever. The scene of the squad running at sunset as Great Fox rises in the background as the music swells is absolutely perfect.

Star Fox and Pikmin are constantly getting prototyped. Nintendo is always experimenting with those two IPs.
That doesn't mean they'll materialize into products on retail shelves.
Nintendo was prototyping a Star Fox action-adventure game before Rare's Star Fox Adventures.
Formula Zero
Octorok
it's obviously F-Zero
but not releasing until 2023 is kinda too much, Nintendo games take forever to finish in the switch era

I see you and raise you the ending to Star Fox Zero, which has a very similar scene of the Great Fox flying into the sunset with the same music, except with a little line after the credits that says "Dedicated to our wingman who fell in battle," which made me fucking cry.
- Pronouns

Yep! Much like Miyamoto's comments with Pikmin 4, people misunderstood what you'd said. The fact it took the Metroid Dread concept 15 years - and at least 3 different development periods - to come to fruition should be a reminder of how roundabout their software development can be.
I don't doubt there are a huge number of prototypes we never see anything of. I also don't doubt there are ideas gestating at Nintendo which take a long, long time to come to market.

To give you an idea of why prototype rumors are meaningless:
Five or six years ago, I heard from an excellent source that Nintendo made a small tech/graphical demo of Wave Race to show off Switch's graphical capabilities. This tech demo was only seen privately/internally. But a tech demo doesn't mean you'll get an actual Wave Race game on Switch. Switch has been around for 5 years and no Wave Race in sight.

Pikmin and Star Fox also happens to be the two IPs Miyamoto won't let die no matter the sales performance. Sure, it can disappear for a little while and skip a system, but it will always be around because there's someone championing for them internally.

This is interesting and Wave Race really was something I'd like to see rebooted by EPD (EPD 9 would be a great fit). Shinya Takahashi said they might revisit Wave Race on Switch in 2018. But, like you say, nothing has ever materialised.

So what you're saying is all that needs to happen for a new Eternal Darkness to be made is for me to get a job at Nintendo and slowly rise through the ranks to finally become a producer who won't shut up about it?

I don't think it's impossible that we'll see a new Star Fox game before the end of this Switch cycle, so it wouldn't blow my mind if it was announced. A remastered Mother Collection, on the other hand... Wow. People would go nuts. Still seems to be pretty much a pipe dream, though.

There are franchises I expect to see on Switch in the next few years. Tomodachi Life from EPD 7 seems very likely, given Nintendo have been bringing handheld (and especially DS) franchises over to Switch with increasing frequency since the Lite launched. I think it was also the case the Tomodachi lead staff haven't been involved in anything for a little while, and if the 3DS game could shift 6 million, then the series is ripe for growth on Switch in the post-AC era.
This might be wishful thinking (points at avatar), but I feel like Wario Land has a shot given Good-Feel have done back to back Yoshi titles. Nintendo and Good-Feel can also provide more Yoshi on Switch with a Woolly World port, leaving Good-Feel and Nintendo free to tackle something else.

Between the heavy use of transparency effects and the 20fps frame rate, I feel like Wave Race 64 would really be a sub-par experience on the current build of the emulator. I mean sure, it'd be perfectly playable, but I'd expect input lag and visual issues given what we're seeing with Ocarina. It's not in the list of 16 confirmed titles, either, but will presumably come at some point. Hopefully work on the emulator itself continues alongside the addition of games to the app.
