There’s no way there won’t be another major holiday game (next to Pokemon) that we don’t know about yet

 

Exactly.

They probably have Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland HD or whatever coming out

 

I think Zelda is the main thing that would force me to buy one this year. Mainline Zelda and Pokemon are my “console purchase” level franchises

 

With how poorly the last few Pokemon games have run on the Switch 1, I wouldn't even bother attempting Legends ZA on mine lol

 

So far the exclusives for switch 2 for 2025 would be (not including “Switch 2 edition” games or ports/remakes)

June - Mario Kart
July - Donkey Kong
Fall - Kirby Air Riders

I fully expect a summer direct with at least 1 big unannounced exclusive this fall

 

TP/WW. Never letting it fucking die lol

 

I feel like WW is dead with the GameCube games coming, but I could see a standalone TP

 

Maybe they'll do something for Zelda's 40th Anniversary in 2026 but who knows

 

At this moment, all I really want is a Metroid Prime 4 release date.

 

TP was also on gamecube though...

 

True, but so far they’ve only announced WW

 

But why port that one and not throw it on the service? WW is far more popular and would sell like crazy

 

Also I'd be perfectly fine if all we end up with is the Gamecube versions emulated as long as they run well. But it's been rumored so long that they're actively sitting on ports, so unless that was bullshit, I don't think we can assume it's dead yet.

 

If anything Zelda is being ported it will be for the 40th anniversary. Hopefully something similar to the Mario 3D all stars that was for Mario’s anniversary

 

My hard decision right now is:

Do I use my Switch 2 GameCube controller to finally play WW with Switch online? The lack of QoL enhancements from WWHD sound like a huge pain.

Do I hope the GCN controller pairs well with my laptop and just play WWHD with Cemu? The Switch Pro Controller has way more lag than my PS5 Dualsense connected to my MacBook over bluetooth, so I don't have a lot of hope

Do I let it gather dust and hope that we get WWHD ported in 2026?

 

I just want to play WWHD one time without having to buy a WiiU (but I'm a stupid slut who will probably still buy a WiiU anyway)

 

I can’t believe they went after Tortimer like that

 

i think we have to remember that it's mario's 40th anniversary so it's not totally out of the question for their to be a mario direct with a big mario game being announced for this fall. if we are getting the next mario 3d platformer this holiday, then i could see it getting announced/teased next month during a direct, and then fully shown off in september for a mario direct, and then out this fall. quick turnaround, but crazier things have happened.

 

I'd bet MK is the only new Mario game we get this year

 

Mario Is Missing Remastered

 

Mario Paint Remastered

 

But that would be awesome though.

 

Wouldn't technically be a new game, so I was being serious. I'd love that

 

Maybe we’ll get a Mario 3D all stars + Galaxy 2 this fall?
