My prediction for how the heavy hitters shake out if it were to launch in early 2025:

25: Kart, Party, Metroid, 3D Mario

26: Gen 5 Remake, Ocarina Remake, Ls Mansion, Animal Crossing (feel very strongly about a full blown OoT remake happening to quench the long wait to new 3D Zelda. Won’t be surprised if it’s FF7 ish in being a massive update rather than just remake)

27: Splatoon, Pokemon Gen X (bold prediction here but I think GF takes a full 5 years to make a true next gen evolution of the franchise that will go absolutely nuts in sales like BotW did for Zelda series (another dev does Gen 5 remakes). I think Nintendo is well aware this is what needs to happen for Pokemon after Gen 9 reception and sales falling off a cliff so fast)

28: New Smash from Sakurau, New 3D Zelda (a decade just like Kart feels like the right timeline between Smash’s. 5 years is the average for Zelda for some time minus TotK due to pandemic)
