I feel I must defend Paper Mario 2. Fun story (best in the series after TTYD) and unique gameplay that blended exploration with classic Mario platforming. It didn't always work perfectly, but that's what happens when you try out new ideas, and for the most part it worked.

Oof, that's a massive lead for the Switch, pretty much 12 weeks, so almost an entire quarter, in front of last year now.

I don't see how this won't be the peak year for the Switch - unless next year would be even bigger. But I seriously doubt that even could be the case without Covid and AC boost.

I expect more of a Mario collection, similar to the All-stars for the SNES, just with all the Super Mario games from NES through Wii U except NSMBU and SMM  since they have already their equivalents on the Switch, the 3DS titles since the latter is still selling, and Super Mario World 2 since that's more a Yoshi than a Mario game and thus probably rather gets into his own collection.

Those were remasters though.

True, but I don't see a point in remastering many of the older titles. Even Super Mario Galaxy would still look rather bad on the Switch unless given some brand new assets, upscaling the textures just ain't enough for pre-Wii U titles without an unique art style like Wind Waker.
