At this point, it's quite probable Nintendo has Pokémon and Metroid as the bigger holiday titles and releases smaller games that are new or even ports/remasters for closer to Black Friday and Christmas.
Mario Kart has become an earth-shattering Nintendo IP which means they don't need a big to massive Switch 2 holiday title this year.
But for the next several years they need at least one big holiday title a year. Some candidates are 3D Mario, Animal Crossing, 3D Zelda, Smash, 2D Mario, or even Pokémon despite Nintendo not owning Pokémon entirely and not normally counting it as their holiday title.
