I think there is a misunderstanding. I never doubted that Switch don't have many cross-gen titles, but you were going on talking about the remasters ("they rather release the same game again years later and ask full price"). Which is a pretty new thing. Although as Signalstar pointed out, there also were the new play control games on Wii, I only remember that for Pikmin, but maybe there were more of that. Anyways, I don't think cross-gen is very Nintendo, and manlytears was talking specifically about BOTW2. And yes Zelda was a cross-gen game with Twilight Princess and BOTW now. In recent time only the transition from Wii to WiiU came without a cross-gen Zelda. |
I feel Zelda is more a case of games that took quite some time to develop so they decided to delay it until it became Cross gen. It's most a coincidence I think, it happened only two times, most of Zelda games aren't Cross gen
BOTW 2... I doubt it will be Cross gen, it will be released next year, it can be released on Switch 2 some years away, but be a Cross gen title? Not feeling it, unless you believe Switch is coming early 2023 but I will be surprised to see Nintendo dropping Switch with so many support and new games promised to 2022, I only believe in Switch 2 once Nintendo first party schedule starts to become dry exactly because I don't see them as a company that encourages Cross gen development
My bet still 2024 or even 2025
