cross-gen? They did BOTW with WiiU+Switch, and their next console should be much closer in hardware to Switch than the Switch was to WiiU (in terms of architecture etc) and should be backwards compatible to boot. Software overlap between Switch and Switch 2 makes sense.

There seems little reason to not release Switch 2 versions of their software. After all Switch is full of "Deluxe" WiiU titles padding the lineup so we may even see a lot of that next generation with the Switch successor.

I can see them getting Mario Kart 9 ready for a Holiday 2023 launch as an exclusive, and perhaps Deluxe versions of games like Splatoon 3, BOTW2 or Smash Bros Ultimate.

Cross-gen isn't why someone would want new hardware.

Why do people want the OLED switch so badly? You don't need a ton of unique titles to sell hardware out the gate. You just need hardware that is better. People will want the latest and greatest regardless.

The Switch launched with a handful of titles and was a huge success. The Switch 2 can launch with access to the entire Switch back catalogue, a few titles that "run better" and just one exclusive new title in something like Mario Kart 9, with further exclusive to follow in 2024.
