Just want to add that a SMART holiday title for Nintendo would be Tomodachi. It was a top 10 title for the 3DS and the series hasn't gotten an entry yet on the Switch. This isn't a prediction though. They may have just given the middle finger to the whole series even though it was fairly successful.

Nintendo still has cards to play for holiday titles if they want to.

I agree Nintendo has a LOT of cards to play.

Here are some cards that I has seen not played yet.

  • Tomodachi
  • Nintendogs
  • DK
  • Mario & Luigi (even though AlphaDream is dead)
  • Kid Icarus (it had a 3DS release meaning they still care about it)
  • Rhythm Heaven (a personal want)
  • Some remake of a popular game?

This is a personal theory, related to Pokémon (duh look at my profile pic lol), TPC released to the world access to use for free the music from Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, FireRed and Leaf Green on Pokémon Day Feb 27. This access is VPN locked to Japan & Asia, but there are Official TPC Youtube video of the music library. When BDSP released, the TPC released Diamond and Pearl music on Youtube, and put that music onto the Sound Library, and Youtube.
My theory is that this year they will release all of the Gen 3 games either as part of NSO GBA (I doubt, but would make sense), or as physical releases. This will be part of the last solo holiday hurrah for the Switch.

(This theory could be a flop given that TPC released Pokémon Red/Blue/Green and select Pokémon Scarlet and Violet music on the Sound Library last year, along with Youtube, and we didnt have a release of Red Blue or Green).

Nintendo has quite a lot of dormant IPs, some of which could be a nice addition to the Switch lineup. You already mentioned a couple, I'll add Excitebike (or trucks, or bots, or whatever they want to use this time around), Mario baseball, Punch-Out!! (Unlikely due to ARMS filling that niche mostly) and Golden Sun into the mix of IPs where Nintendo could bring a successor.

Personally I would love a HD remaster of ExciteTrucks and ExciteBots bundled together, as well as a remaster of Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance/Radiance Dawn, as they were some of my favorite Wii games from Nintendo
