Definitely feel like BOTW 2 will be delayed until early 2023 and honestly I am OK with that. Maybe it will launch on BOTW 1's 6 year anniversary, which also happens to be a Friday. Could also see Mario + Rabbids getting delayed. It would be a good idea to save some heavy hitters for next year.

Can't see them releasing a new generation of Pokemon AND BOTW 2 this holiday, especially since I feel we will also get a 3D Mario this holiday because of the movie.

Bold: I don't see that happening.

If they were planning a new 3D Mario game also for this year and they wouldn't want to release it very close to BotW2 and/or Gen 9 they wouldn't even have thought of announcing both of these games for 2022. If BotW2 gets delayed it's solely because of it's own development cycle demanding it, not other games. They're planning this release schedule a long time in advance.

@Kakadu18 To be fair, they originally had both Animal Crossing and SWSH for 2019, before the former got delayed until March of the following year. This was despite ACNH getting announced first. I could see a similar situation happening here.
