yeah right, This guy is about to be embarrassed when they release Pokémon Colosseum AAA remake on my birthday in June.
20 million copies sold easyyyyyyyyyy

3D Mario is probably the most likely candidate to launch the Switch 2. It's a big crowd pleaser like Zelda and can easily push visuals to take advantage of the hardware.I mean it's plausible. Nintendo is too unpredictable, so it's very hard to say for sure what is coming next.
I personally am still expecting something 3D Mario related, it's been over 5 years since Odyssey. Otherwise, I don't know if there are many other big first party games coming soonish.
I doubt we'll get a new game in these series:
- Zelda
- Xenoblade
- Fire Emblem
- Mario Kart (DLC is still ongoing and MK8 is for eternity)
- Smash
- Splatoon
- Mario Party
- Luigi's Mansion (I don't think Next Level will have anything coming soon. Mario Strikers released soon after LM3, but that didn't have much content)
- Mario Sports (I should say anything from Camelot, though I think they are likely a few years into developing their next game, just not something coming in the next 12-18 months)
I still believe Fire Emblem Genealogy of the Holy War remake is still on the table. There is also still Pikmin, but that's not really a big IP.
There is always a new Pokémon game coming out, but for 2023 I think (and really hope) all they'll do is DLC for SV.
And the further along we go without a hint of Metroid Prime 4, the more I believe they'll just have it be a cross-gen game. I don't know why, but I'd be surprised if it comes out by the end of 2023.
I also don't get why people get so offended and almost hostile whenever anyone says they doubt we'll get many big releases soon. This time last year lots of people were so sure this year would be 2017 part 2, but it's not. Neither will be 2023.
Lots of stuff got delayed or shuffled around. Apparently even a new Switch hardware. Again, everything is possible, nothing is likely.
If that means "no games that will surely sell more than 10 million" then yes that's plausible. I lean towards there being at least 1 title that could sell that much left, whether it's 2D Mario or a Holiday 2024 Pokemon game, but it's hard to guess.
Didn't it do 820k in Japan alone back when it got to nearly 2 million, which it's above now? I can honestly see Pikmin 3 getting to 3 million pretty easily. 4-5 million not out of the question.A lot of people are going to be surprised at those Pikmin 4 sales numbers next year.
God please.Nintendo, hurry up and press the "Gamecube Remaster/Remakes" button!
Metroid Prime, F-Zero GX, Paper Mario TTYD HD

Tbh, if next year was a majority of HD remasters like Twilight Princess, Wind Waker, F-Zero GX, Metroid Prime and Kid Icarus Uprising along with TotK and Pikmin 4 I’d be happy.
Might be slated for first half, we don't really know.
he actually knows significantly less than I do thanks to my sourceSpoiler: this guy knows exactly the same amount about Nintendo's upcoming lineup as everybody here does.
I'll attest to this, as I use primarily cubits, spans, and fathoms.Even next to a ruler Americans will use anything but Metric to measure anything.
In the mysterious world of Nintendo speculation, Prime 4 is absolutely a major title despite being from a series that's sold 3 million topsSimple as that.
No:
- mainline Mario
- new Mario Kart
- new Zelda
- new Splatoon
- new Animal Crossing
- Metroid Prime 4
Still on the table:
- Metroid Prime 4
- Pikmin 4
- Mario spinoffs
- Pokémon spinoffs
- Astral Chain 2, for example
- Splatoon tactics, for example
- Xenoblade Warriors, for example
- literally anything third party
- literally anything else that's not a 10+ million EPD tent pole release
In other words,
Agreed. It is really, really hard for me to picture most major titles being exclusive for the first 2-4 years of the successor. I don't foresee the install base being turned down for new titles this time. I expect a long crossgen period with a Switch 2 akin to an iPhone 2 situation. Iwata-san even likened the NX to the Apple family of systems:Honestly I actually kind hate it when it's the phrase 'significant game' because that's often used to exclude large numbers of games that are exciting, interesting and worthwhile.
Like, in this case, Pikmin 4.
I still expect a cross-gen approach for these games because I assume they will be out by the end of 2024.
No, and at this point I wouldn't expect it. Switch is already very saturated in terms of 3D Mario, so if the next 3D Mario is on a new console, it will probably be designed to show off that console's tech in mind, rather than an iterative sequel.has there even been a peep about odyssey 2?
Why are we acting like Nintendo insiders don't get stuff wrong sometimes? Literally every major insider has a rumor that didn't come true, whether that be Nate or Emily or King Zell or Jeff Grubb.
Are the Wind Waker HD and Twilight Princess HD ports still coming?since when has insiders been accurate on nintendo's slate long before they're announced
It's a prequel, actually: Super Mario Illiad.has there even been a peep about odyssey 2?
Another year without a new DK.
I'd say Kirby is bigger than xenoblade/pikminHow so? It's at least as big as a Kirby, Xenoblade, etc.
Are the Wind Waker HD and Twilight Princess HD ports still coming?
I feel like those three games - new DK, new 2D Mario, new 3D Mario - are going to be slightly spread out and that all three won't necessarily launch in the same year. So I've often assumed one is 2023 and the others 2024. Would be disappointing to have to wait until 2025 for any one of them, I think.
But again, I wouldn't take this information as confirmation right now. The software situation is always at least a little unpredictable and I think the fact a hardware transition is coming up before too long also complicates predictions right now.
Yeah I know. I was just being a smart ass.I'm pretty certain nintendo doesn't care about that
Tbh these are exactly the types of games I would expect to be cross-gen and spread out over a couple of years after new hardware is on the market as an easy, cost-effective way of selling software to the massive Switch user base.
I expect all of them every day. I live in a constant state of disappointmentThis headline is just obvious for everything other than 3D Mario. Was anyone expecting another 3D Zelda, or Splatoon, or mainline Animal Crossing before the next console?
What "big" games did Nintendo even release in 2022? Splatoon 3? If Pikmin isn't "big" then I doubt Kirby and Xenoblade are so that's only one for this year as well.
Not really sure what you mean by this.Well if we take the word of some leakers, they alluded to more GC remakes coming out.
They didn’t show anything regarding Pikmin 4 and Pikmin 3 DX was released late october, why not repeat the pattern? Full revealed at E3
Pokémon Spin-Off: A year without a new mainline entry is a good candidate to release a new spin-off console game like mystery dungeon, or idk, ranger revival?
I find it funny how metroid prime 4 isn't considered when the game is gonna sell over 10mil units
