The fact that Pokémon Presents are used as marketing tool is the precise reason why we are probably not getting any new mainline/remake/remaster Pokémon game on Switch this year: the marketing cycle for a new big Pokémon title starts with the announcement in February and lasts for around 9 months, ending with the release in October/November/December, so if a new big Pokémon game was coming out this year on Switch, they would have announced it in the Presents they held on Pokémon Day, but instead they only announced a new TCG Mobile game coming out this year and Legends Z-A scheduled for a generic 2025. So I would say that there’s a 90% chance that mainline Pokémon skips 2024 entirely, if something Pokémon related comes out this year, I think it would be a spin-off game or some Switch Online stuff. The only thing I see TPC doing this year for mainline games, is starting Legends Z-A marketing around the time Nintendo reveals the Switch successor, since the game will most likely come out in the first year of the new console as a cross gen title.

We already have Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door as our Mario game. 16:25 Also, Mario vs. Donkey Kong wasn’t a “port”… that was a straight up remake. Aside from only a handful of reused sounds and voice clips (which were NOT compressed this time), everything has been redone from the ground up. A “port” would be something like Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze on Switch. Some new content, but largely the same old game.

I think the biggest factor would probably be that Nintendo doesn’t really need to bundle them. Nintendo could easily sell them for $50 each and people would buy it. It’d be great for us if it was a bundle but Nintendo could easily get away with not bundling them given how incredibly popular each of them is.

This is smart analysis, but: 1)I think the "light" year is exacerbated by a relatively last minute next gen delay and 2) It's been so long since 3D Mario, that team is oddly idle 3) With Zelda, Splatoon, Mario Kart, even Luigi's Mansion and 2D Mario have all been active here at the end of the gen Looking at that, it seems highly likely that the until-recent plan was to have 3D Mario as the holiday title along with the new hardware, and the slip of one means the slip of the other.

They’ve had plenty of time and other bug franchises - Zelda, Mario Kart, Splatoon, even Luigi’s Mansion have all had major support in the last year of the Switch so I don’t believe Nintendo is going to use those as launch games If Nintendo planned on launching new hardware this year with Mario, and then slipped the hardware, that slips Mario. You don’t want to double tap 3D Mario within four months of each other so a last minute Galaxy remake or similar seems off the table. Whatever the holiday title is, it has to be something in the tank that can be repositioned to take Mario/hardware’s slot. And we should expect the leanest year of the switch gen

Star Fox is: Nintendo tried so hard, for so long, to make Star Fox a thing. But Star Fox needed concerted narrative polish, not just mechanical polish, to fully work. And, even more than Top Gun, the big "Wait, we have a franchise that fits that" for Star Fox was the "elevated" Saturday Morning Cartoon that started showing up in the 2010s (think Scooby-Doo: Mystery Incorporated, She-Ra: Princesses of Power, or, to mention an original cartoon working on essentially similar grounds, Steven Universe) and Nintendo didn't even really try to bring that energy to Star Fox for a new title. And that's because: They don't have that in them!

Intially I wouldn't expect a Direct in April, since we got a Partner showcase recently. However, without a new system this year, the investor's meeting in May would be very awkward with just Paper Mario and Luigi's Mansion (and nothing else for Q2 and beyond), especially if they don't say anything about new hardware.

I think the possibility of a Johto game this year is heavily discounted atm bc ppl want to believe there is an "offyear", which is much more unlikely.

The fact that Nintendo has been getting closer with Wayforward is... very interesting. Nintendo leadership have made it clear their goal is organic internal growth vs rampant outside talent acquisition.

That's QUITE off-base. WF is pretty minor actor in overall nintendo efforts to support indies, without being crucified for promoting "shovelware". And WF is a tiny controversy away from losing the random grace they have as A REAL indie company and not just hated, probably sexist, grifters when that accusation can lose a company's social credit at the drop of a hat. Western audiences hate actual open marketplace, or to pay for additional curators like reviewers, instead demanding a lot of value for free. Shops that are exclusive for THEIR tastes, and overestimating their "core gamer" influence in the marketplace. Take Steam Deck for example, it sold 3 million next to Wii U's 12 million, but insulated gamer press thinks Steam Deck is a massive disruptor and an indie darling. But even without purchasing WayForward, Nintendo has basically dragged the company out of obscurity since the game Boy color, supporting it to a great extent to LICENSE ip like Advance Wars. Wii U and 3DS erupted and disrupted Shantae into the public eye, but that didn't help make Wii U more successful. The "marketing" by supporting indie darlings just doesn't turn into money, because Steam may poach and sell them cheaper in the closed Microsoft markets, inching towards Linux. Imagine that if WF gets the same hate as Pokemon Company, after it becomes "a big corporation" nintendo subsidiary. Without the indie excuses for mediocre quality and Palworld permission to straight-up rip off designs. You would immediately have to stop paying fairly for Shovel Knight plushies and start forwarding that money instead into better graphics, exploiting the merchanidse industry for cash and rely on cheap Chinese merch. Much more likely WayForward will close like Vanpool, and handful of them, which might be all employees, could be integrated to existing Nintendo and Namco teams. Purchases like the Luigi's Mansion team are quite rare instances to BE that consolidated place for them.

There’s historical precedent for a RH release at this point in the console’s lifecycle (2011 for Fever on Wii, 2016 for Megamix on 3DS), and they’ve also typically had pretty short announcement to release windows. Tsunku (creator of most of the soundtrack) also expressed interest for a new entry in 2022, which would give them a 2 year development cycle, which seems reasonable for a smaller title like this.

For F-Zero, both GX remake or a new title, a big reason for why were not getting anything new that people forget about is that GX was made by TEAM DRAGON of Like a Dragon fame. Even if Nintendo were to partner with Sega again its likely they wouldn't be able to get their hands on that team since theyre always making a new Like a Dragon. And with the way nintendo hires and likes to keep their old employees and teams working on the same franchises I honestly don't see them hiring a new team for an F-Zero game

It’s not even “rumored,” it’s almost a guarantee to either be launch or launch window like Odyssey was. We had a similar gap after Super Mario 3D World, where the 3D Mario team was awfully quiet after 3D World launched, and after the “NX” was announced and no new Mario was shown, it was all but guaranteed that the next major title was going to be on the next system. Sure enough, October 2016’s Switch reveal teased Odyssey, without formally unveiling it and its title. I imagine whenever Nintendo teases the Switch successor, we will see a similar tease for the next major Mario game. It’s only been, what, 7 years since Super Mario Odyssey? 3D Marios used to only take 2-3 years to make before the jump to HD, then Odyssey took 3.5-4 years. This game’s had plenty of development time.

I feel like Wind Waker HD and TPHD are more likely than ALbtW.

I also suspect that WWHD and TPHD Switch have probably been sitting around finished for a while now as backups in case of a gap in the release schedule, and if that’s true then this year would be the perfect time since the Switch 2 has likely been suddenly delayed. I really want Galaxy 2 but I don’t see it happening since it was excluded from the 3D All Stars collection and that was also a limited release.

If Nintendo has shown one thing it's that no game is out of the question to get a remake or remaster or even new entry.

While Xenoblade X is an easier to make port, I think Monolith would want to prioritize remaking Xenosaga. Xenosaga fits much better with the Xenoblade Switch games lore wise and while Xenoblade 3's DLC did include references to all past Xeno titles, the Xenosaga ones seem to be the most prevalent and least likely to be a simple Easter Egg to the point where Bandai Namco was in the credits for Xenoblade 3: Future Redeemed. Xenosaga was very heavy on the religious theming and following how Xenoblade 2's dub was handled I could see Monolith using this as an opportunity to rename some things to bring them in line with the Switch Xenoblade titles. Xenosaga was so heavy on the explicit religious references I think it would be hard to fully escape them without changing the story entirely, as one of the main characters was litterally a biblical Saint, but I could very easily see them change terms like "Zohar" being renamed to Conduit/Gate (to bring in line with blade), "Testements" renamed, the years being counted in "TC: Trancend Christ" would find a new name, and especially with the ongoing Israel Palestine war, the planet "Lost Jerusalem" a focal point of the plot, would also be renamed. This would also be an excellent opportunity to redub the game because Xenosaga 2 has a different voice cast in the west as well as to tie the games narratively better with Xenoblade, perhaps even clearing up some contradictions between the two, however, I could see them also not doing that as Xenoblade: Definitive Edition did not fully retcon its story to bring it in line with two, instead opting to have the events portrayed differently in 2 to be simply be recalled incorrectly or incomple in Definitive Edition. That's not to say DE didn't add in content to connect it with Xenoblade 2 and the unannounced 3, as its extra story definetly did that and there was one character in the main story who recieved a slight redesign to bring him more in line with Xenoblade 2's lore.

Bringing Gamecube games to NSO is tricky because game file sizes got a lot bigger that generation. And NSO has you download all of the games it has for a system together. So a Gamecube NSO app would take up a lot of space. My guess is that Nintendo won’t add Gamecube to NSO until the Switch 2. Both because that’s a big selling point for a new system and because maybe the Switch 2 will have a lot more storage space.

May Mario Galaxy 2 save us all 😭

This is my theory. Nintendo are going to use Directs to announce news on their movies as well as their games. This is just a glimpse at the future. I'll explain. Nintendo has been capitalising on the success of The Super Mario Bros Movie since its release nearly a year ago. Mario, Luigi, Peach and Donkey Kong have been given special attention. We've gotten remakes of Mario vs Donkey Kong, Thousand Year Door and Luigi's Mansion 2. Peach has been given a new solo game in Showtime. I can absolutely see a new 3D Mario, Luigi's Mansion 4, a new Peach and even a new Donkey Kong coming out in the rest of this decade, and for the sole purpose of coinciding with sequels and spin-off movies about Luigi, DK and Peach. When The Legend of Zelda movie with Sony comes out, that franchise will get the same treatment.

Then he'll confirm whether Yoshi has a celebrity voice actor or not. Zelda on the other hand? We could get a first look or a cast reveal. But it'll get a lot more attention. But 2025? It'll swing back to Mario, and this is where things get interesting. No sooner was a follow up announced, that a leaked storyboard panel was shown on Twitter and taken down within the hour. In the unlikely event you don't have it saved on your files, it was taken from an Illumination artist’s private Vimeo account. The image depicts Mario and Luigi walking through a bazaar and wearing cloaks. Needless to say, this one doodle hyped everyone up. Speculation ran rampant. Not only were people saying Daisy was being introduced, because of the desert backdrop, but Mario and Luigi were going on an actual buddy adventure together. That was what the first movie should have been. Nintendo or Illumination taking the leak down? On par with shutting the gate after the bull's loose. But that's not to say they won't make the best of what's happened. The latter half of 2025 will give us our first look at the sequel. Mario and Luigi sneaking through a market? That'll either be the teaser trailer or a Game Awards clip.

There is a lot more to take into account when talking about Star Fox and if it will get a new games as nintendos design philosophy for it is different from mario and zelda. Instead of gameplay first as it should be, its gimmick first. If they can't find a unique gimmick that miyamoto thinks will work for starfox then there is no new starfox. StarFox didn't get on the wii because according to miyamoto he couldn't find a unique gameplay mechanic for starfox on the wii and so it didn't happen. StarFox Zero happened on the only because they needed a game to demonstrate and justify the gamepad. So they started exploring and they ended stumbling into making it a starfox game and it coasted them the Wii u, StarFox, and the trust of starfox fans. It only gets worse one you realize that not every starfox game is just 64 like some outsiders might have you think. Only half of the games are just the same game remade or reimagined but the other half are different, maybe too different. Every starfox game that is a sequel ended mostly being different from the first game and not like how twilight princess is different from wind waker or something. Its more like twilight princess is different from hyrul warriors different, basically you aren't getting more of what you love but adding some new things that keeps it fresh. StarFox Adventures is a Zelda like game, StarFox 2 is a real time flight sim strategy game with a transformation, starfox command is a turn base strategy game that is lesser then 2, and StarFox Assault which is the closest to feeling like 64 but clearly not 64 in both story and gameplay. The long and short of it is that a spin off or another cameo in another game series is only gonna piss starfox fans even more pissed off then they already are. At least Make a new mainline game that isn't sabotaged by gimmicks and doesn't feel like a spin off title. Just like literally every other nintendo IP, Gameplay first.

Star Fox is the idea craft game until it has an advocate. It is what it is. I doubt that even if Nintendo made SF fans dream game, people will show up.

Very interesting post. Thanks for sharing your insight.

Good video, but I think you're overrating Star Fox chances at a new game or even a spin-off there. The last SF game sold baddly, the switch doesn't have a need for a game to Justify a gimmick like the wii u did, and I don't think Nintendo wants a repeat of Metroid Federation Force by making a spin off before a new Mainline game comes out (which ended up getting MFF thrown to the wolves). So I feel it should be closer to a 1% for a new game and a 5% for a spin-off and or camo.

Since I only do five bands of probability, 10% is actually as low as I go. Depending on whether you count Star Fox 2 and Battle for Atlas, 1-3 of the last ten years have had Star Fox games so I think a ~10% chance in any given year feels about right though.

@@nintendoforecast I don't count Battle for Atlas since it's a new IP that's on other systems made by Ubisoft, it's just the Switch version has Star Fox as Nintendo-only content basically like how Shovel Knight had Kratos only in the PlayStation version of the game. Still, you could still count SF2 since it was a new release to the SNES Mini (even if it was a mostly finished game from the 90s). So 5% is still as high as I can see it going.

I predict Animal Crossing Warriors

​@@ravenebony2267"Bandai Namco have been really quiet this year" Tekken 8 came out in January, this guy is a moron that just makes it up as he goes along. Enjoy the copium and further disappointment.

I would absolutely *LOVE* to see Tomodachi Life again! If they can add more to do in it and a better Mii creator, all the better! As for Zelda... I'd much rather see remakes/remasters of the two Oracle games than one of Wind Waker.
