I said all along Nintendo was making a mistake with their Q4 switch 2 lineup this year. The only really big release they had was Pokemon Z-A, which was cross-gen so no one is gonna buy a S2 just for it. The fact that a Kirby Air Riders and Hyrule Warriors game were their big holiday S2 exclusives always seemed insane to me. That’s a holiday lineup I would’ve expected for Switch 1 last year at the very end of its life cycle, not a brand new console.
They’re super lucky that the console had so much momentum out of the gate or that first holiday lineup would’ve been disastrous for it. I’m really hoping they have 3D Mario ready to go before the 1 year mark of the console’s launch. Launching alongside the Galaxy movie in spring would be perfect cross marketing for both (and sell a ton of Switch 2s). It seems ridiculously dumb to me if they would plan a new console launch knowing no main Mario or Zelda exclusive was coming in year 1. That’s even worse software strategy for a Nintendo console than Wii U tbh.
