Not gonna give sections to announced games for next year. We know they're coming.
2022
Kirby
Donkey Kong: I think the rumor that a new DK is in development is very likely. We haven't gotten a completely new title since 2014. And even then, that some title got a Switch release back in 2018. The time is ripe for a new DK game.
Mario Kart 9 - They don't even have to do this. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is the best-selling game on Switch. I mean I'm sure it obviously has a ceiling to how much it will sell, but it has life in it. But I always mention this key aspect of Mario Kart 9. If it launches in 2022 or later, that means it has come out pretty far into the Switch's life as Nintendo's current platform. That means that you can release an enhanced port of it at Switch 2's launch, or at least in its launch window. And bam, you have a Mario Kart release on Nintendo's new console that adds new features and improves the graphics. So it would be like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe in that way.
And then you can launch Mario Kart 10 as a Switch 2 exclusive about 2-3 years after Mario Kart 9 Deluxe releases.
Direct Sequel to Fire Emblem: Three Houses
Pokemon Gen IX - Generations of Pokemon haven't had that long of a gap historically and especially in the last decade or so. Releasing Arceus in January and then Gen IX in October or November is a surefire way to print money.

Metroid Prime 4 - We still have a while to wait
Pikmin 4

Bayonetta 3
Mario spin-off
2024
