Big day for reveals, huh? Switch 2 had a very strong U.S. December 2025 sales report (with Metroid Prime 4: Beyond debuting at 7th for the month *excluding digital sales*). Mario Wonder DLC details dropped, new MarioKart LEGO set revealed, and small updates to three NS2 games (MKWorld with Team Knockout Tours, Pokémon Legends Z-A upped the max number of some crystal things you can carry from 999 to 9,999, and DKBananza got... a Polish translation lol).
On the topic of Mario Wonder DLC: What are we thinking? Me personally, I'm waiting to see if there'll be any performance upgrades. If there aren't any, then I'll pass— seems this DLC is heavily tailored to the casual crowd, focusing on multiplayer (couch co-op & online), a tutorial mode, and an assist mode.
EDIT— As per estimates given by Welfare on ResetEra, NS2 performed 29% weaker than NS1 when comparing their first U.S. holiday quarters. Given that Switch 1 had a supply bottleneck popped during Holiday 2017 whereas NS2 has been readily available since launch, I'd say these are very solid figures for NS2 overall. That'd point toward around 5.5-6.5mil WW for Q3FY26, well above Nintendo's publicly disclosed projections.
Big question is to see how Switch 2 performs in its second year, now that NS1 is no longer hindered/bolstered by supply/demand fluctuations.
