I eagerly await my 3D Mario and Pikmin 5.

Also, I believe the reason Nintendo prioritized DK, Kirby, and Metroid over Mario, Zelda, and Splatoon during NS2’s launch year is because Nintendo is/was hoping to cultivate an evergreen mega-hit out of some of their less popular (i.e. non-3D Mario nor Zelda) franchises, seeing how successful a lot of the early gen Switch 1 releases were. It’s a smart strategy, but also creates issues in convincing consumers to pick up a system.
