Nintendo has done a solid job so far. It admittedly never stood a chance against Switch 1’s grand slam of a first year (which Nintendo was desperately in need of at the time) but, all things considered, we’re looking at a new Mario Kart, 3D Donkey Kong, Pokémon, Metroid Prime, Kirby Air Riders, and a genuinely surreal amount of third-party support (by Nintendo standards) all within the first six months. No 3D Mario nor Zelda is definitely a major blow and is the difference between this year being a “grand slam” versus merely being “solid,” but I can’t say I’m too displeased as a 90% Nintendo gamer.
