| VAMatt said: I'm guessing (it is truly just a guess) that we'll see a new 2D Mario. There hasn't been one on Switch yet. You could say the same about Kart, but the old one is still selling like crazy. So, no reason to burn that title yet. |
Yeah I could see this. A few months ago I speculated on this though and someone pointed out we got two 2D Mario games last year so it's unlikely another one would come this year. But I figure it's a possibility. I'd rather have BotW2, but considering the whole Mario 35th anniversary stuff I could totally see them readying a brand new 2D Mario as the headlining game for the anniversary campaign. I mean the NSMBUD Mario port is probably at about 6 million now, so a brand new 2D Mario game (which I assume would be a new series and not a continuation of the "New" series) should be a guaranteed 10+ million seller, which is plenty good for a major holiday release.
Even without BotW2, I think it'd be plenty if the Fall lineup was something like: a couple 35th anniversary Mario ports or remasters, brand new 2D Mario series, Metroid Prime Trilogy HD, Bayonetta 3, and then something unannounced like Pikmin or Star Fox.
