@javi741 That's what I'm thinking too. While ZA, Prime 4, Air Riders and HW are solid for a holiday lineup, the two big ones from that group are also available on NS1. I feel like Nintendo should have a big exclusive NS2 title for its first holiday. I also felt it was weird that DK would be July, and that's why I also felt that they might have one more exclusive to announce for the holidays. Even if the 3D Mario team worked on DK, I feel they can still have 3D Mario for this holiday though. They did Odyssey in 2017 and Bowser's Fury in 2021 (the latter of which had development assistance from other studios), so for them to have two big games take a total of 8 years seems reasonable. Odyssey came just 4 years after 3D World.
I feel like Switch Sports is a prime candidate for a NS2 Edition and I could see the same for Smash. Hopefully both of those come next year. For Smash, I can see a NS2 Edition not including the DLC, much like how BOTW NS2 Edition seemingly doesn't include the DLC. For Smash, I guess you could blame it on there being third party negotiations. I would think NS2 Edition would include new characters in the base game and then its own line of DLC, but including new base characters might make it pricey, so maybe $10 for NS2 Edition and then $20-$30 for 10 or so new first party characters to start (the contents of that pack would be unveiled right away).
