I'm waiting for Nintendo to introduce new IP, like new core IP single player games. I'd really like to see them tackle an open world game that isn't Zelda but a new IP. They play it too safe and rely too much on IP that's cemented. I'm tired of Mario and Zelda. If it's gotta be established IP, I'd like to see a new Fire Emblem game in the vein of Three houses but expanded upon and change the formula up a bit or give us a new Astral Chain game.

I completely understand and appreciate your perspective, but to me the newness of an IP is overrated. I'd much rather have new experiences and mechanics than new characters and stories. And in my opinion, Nintendo is great at reinventing its franchises even as it reuses the same plotlines, heroes, and villains.

Anyway, @OP: I think Switch 2 has to hit store shelves with either the next 3D Super Mario (hopefully some continuation of the gameplay in Bowser's Fury) or Mario Kart 10. Apart from that I expect Metroid Prime 4 and Pokemon Legends Z-A to be there at cross-gen launch titles. Since I believe Switch 2 will be backward compatible, I don't foresee any ports of popular Switch games. Maybe a Switch Sports sequel to hammer home the usefulness of the new Joy-Cons and help drive NSO subscriptions?

Yeah, but something different I mean. Like an open world that delivers somethign new. Maybe try a soulsborne approach to a game. Maybe try a sim racer. Maybe try a story telling adventure game in the vein of The Last of Us. Maybe a survival horror game like RE. Stuff like that, really shake up the IP like and create new stuff like Sony did in the ps3 early ps4 era.
