@mariomaster96 Absolutely, profits are the most important, but when the all time hardware sales throne is right there, you might as well go for it too.
If Nintendo wants to surpass PS2's sales, which I think they might be going for, then I think yes, one more holiday season for the Switch is warranted.
I think we'll mostly see remakes, but if I had to take a stab at a new game for the holiday season, then I'll say Mario Party since it's been 3 years since Superstars which was 3 years after Super, and Mario Party is a proven success sales wise in the Switch era.
It's ridiculous at how many people in this comments section devalue 2D games when millions of people pick them up for $50 to $60. They are worth the money, especially if a lot of care when into the character and background design, like in Super Mario Bros. Wonder.
I managed to stay on Super Mario Maker for another three and a half hours after the official shutdown time.
I'm thankful for all of the memories.
If anyone wants to see some Super Mario Maker 1 footage in the future, I've archived a few thousand levels on my YouTube channel, same name as on here.
The Switch is my favorite Nintendo system ever. Such an insane library.
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Super Mario Odyssey, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Splatoon 2, Splatoon 3, Metroid Dread, Metroid Prime Remastered, Super Mario Bros. Wonder, Fire Emblem Three Houses, Fire Emblem Engage, Luigi's Mansion 3, Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze, Arms, The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening, Pokémon Legends Arceus, Kirby Star Allies, Kirby and the Forgotten Land, New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, Super Mario Maker 2, Hyrule Warriors Definitive Edition, Hyrule Warriors Age of Calamity, Fire Emblem Warriors Three Hopes, Super Mario Party, Mario Party Superstars, Animal Crossing New Horizons, Pikmin 1+2 HD, Pikmin 3 Deluxe, Pikmin 4, Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition, Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Xenoblade Chronicles 3.
What an insane first party library and also tons of great third party games like Rayman Legends Definitive Edition, The Elder Scrolls Skyrim, Astral Chain, Bayonetta 3, The Witcher 3 Complete Edition, Red Dead Redemption, L.A. Noire, Streets of Rage 4, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles The Cowabunga Collection, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Shredder's Revenge, Celeste, Mega Man Legacy Collection 1 and 2, Mega Man 11, Mega Man X Legacy Collection, Mega Man ZX Legacy Collection, Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection, Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection, Sonic Mania, Sonic Origins Plus, Doki Doki Literature Club Plus, Castlevania Anniversary Collection, Contra Anniversary Collection, Cuphead, Ori and the Blind Forest, Ori and the Will of the Wisps, Hollow Knight, Persona 3 Portable, Persona 4 Golden, Persona 5 Royal.
@SpaceboyScreams To each their own, but some tracks like Yoshi's Island, Squeaky Clean Sprint, GBA Boo Lake, and GCN Waluigi Stadium feel like base game quality tracks in terms of layout and graphics.
Super Mario All-Stars, the Mario Advance series, the Pokémon Gen 1-3 remakes, Metroid Zero Mission and Samus Returns, the Zelda remakes, and Fire Emblem Echoes Shadows of Valentia are the high points of Nintendo's remakes for me.

Re: Rumoured 'Hi-Fi Rush' Switch Port In Doubt As Microsoft Culls Tango Gameworks And Other Studios
Hi-Fi Rush is one of the best games to come from one of Microsoft's studios in years, so it's a shame to see Tango Gameworks meet such a sudden end.

Re: Saber Interactive CEO Doesn't Think $70 Video Games Are Sustainable
It's ridiculous at how many people in this comments section devalue 2D games when millions of people pick them up for $50 to $60. They are worth the money, especially if a lot of care when into the character and background design, like in Super Mario Bros. Wonder.

I'll consider picking up Pikachu and Charizard.

Urchin Underpass and Saltspray Rig are still exclusive to Splatoon 1 and some mighty fine maps.
Re: Nintendo And Illumination Announce New Mario Bros. Animated Movie
I hope to see Yoshi and Rosalina make an appearance.
Wario and/or Daisy would be an added bonus.

Re: Pokémon Legends Z-A Announced, Coming To Switch In 2025
I'm glad that Zygarde will finally get its own time in the spotlight after over 10 years. I hope we see some new mega evolutions.
Re: Best Nintendo Switch DLC & Expansions
@SpaceboyScreams To each their own, but some tracks like Yoshi's Island, Squeaky Clean Sprint, GBA Boo Lake, and GCN Waluigi Stadium feel like base game quality tracks in terms of layout and graphics.
Re: Shantae Advance: Risky Revolution GBA Limited Run Pre-Orders Now Live
I'll gladly play this on my DS Lite, but I hope it comes to the Switch down the line.
Re: Xbox's Pentiment Is Getting A Limited Run Physical Switch Release, Pre-Orders Coming Soon
@PikaPhantom I thought the same when Limited Run was the only way to obtain Persona 3 Portable and Persona 4 Golden.
Atlus couldn't be assed to give us a physical release.
Man, it sucks that so many games only get these limited physical runs nowadays.
Re: Poll: So, How Would You Rate The Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase?
Star Wars Battlefront, Epic Mickey, and Penny's Big Breakaway made it a solid 6 fof me.
Re: Epic Mickey: Rebrushed Is A Switch Remake Of A Wii Favourite
I never played Epic Mickey on Wii back in the day, so I'm excited to finally play it now.
Re: Surprise! Penny's Big Breakaway Is Available To Download Right Now
I'll wait for the inevitable physical release, but this was definitely a nice shadow drop for those who prefer digital.
Re: The Original Star Wars: Battlefront Games Are Coming To Switch
The classic Star Wars Battlefront II with Heroes and Villains on more maps than just Mos Eisley is a dream come true.
Re: Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase February 2024 - Time, Where To Watch, What To Expect

The DKC games are all some of the best platformers ever made.
Re: New Splatoon 3: Side Order Trailer Details Spire Of Order, Objectives & Color Chips
I wasn't expecting roguelike elements in Splatoon.
Re: Anniversary: Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze Is Now A Decade Old
DKC Tropical Freeze is Nintendo's best non-Mario platformer. Thank you for creating such a gem, Retro.
Re: Soapbox: With Switch Online, It's The Perfect Time To Bring Back These Wii U Gems
I'm still perplexed that we never got a SNES Remix. I wish this series continued.
