The third game is Pokopia, which is very likely to pass 10m. Ocarina is one of the most beloved titles in gaming history which will give it a huge boost, and Splatoon's broken the 10m comfortably mark twice before and definitely has the potential to do so again if they can deliver a meaty single player component that hits the high standards of Nintendo's tentpole titles; what it loses by not being multiplayer could be compensated for by bringing in solo players who found prior games too lightweight in that department. Yoshi and Fire Emblem may be smaller titles, but that's okay, all they need to do is give people some variety and something to play in between the heavy hitters, while satisfying their dedicates fanbases, similar to what say Xenoblade 2 did in 2017 or Pikmin 4 did in 2023. Altogether, that's not a bad lineup at all, you've got something for cosy game fans, action-adventure fans, shooter fans, platformer fans, Millennial gamers, newer Nintendo fans, plus first party aside you've got the strongest third party catalog a Nintendo system has seen arguably since the SNES. |
Your statements are reasonable.
I still believe the future isn't promising and I have a lot of skepticism, but I recognize that these games could end up surprising us, thus shaping up to be a competent 2026.
We just have to wait and see the final result.
