I’m confident 2026 will deliver. Obviously, Nintendo is playing the slow and steady game with Switch 2, versus Switch 1 which came out of the gate swinging like a platform possessed, but I can’t imagine they’re going to let Yoshi, Fire Emblem, and Splatoon Raiders carry the year. I expect October-December will see two big tentpole games that haven’t yet been announced.

If Nintendo tries to scrape by with a few “AA” productions during the holiday season, I think it will be a big mistake.
