Thats a lot of updated ports. And starfox/zelda shouldnt get the distinction or being exclusives. These are remakes of games we have played several times. Ocarina of time is masquerading as a big heavy hitting november title. But it just isnt. Its a remake. And Nintendo doesnt get credit for "updated ports" that is just so weak. If this is all they have in the tank for this year than that is some weak bullshit. 

Sure, a handful of updated ports but even if we exclude them it’s 10 new titles (Switch-2, Switch 2-8) and remakes of big games have always counted as big releases.

Look at it this way, Nintendo’s 2026 includes:

New Entries-Mario Tennis, Tomodachi Life, Yoshi, Rhythm Heaven, Fire Emblem & Switch Sports

Spinoffs-Pokemon & Splatoon

Remakes-Star Fox & Zelda

Updated Ports-Animal Crossing, 2D Mario & Xenoblade

There is no way someone can look at that list and honestly think “that’s some weak bullshit”, you would either have to be trolling or bitter because their lineup doesn’t specifically cater to your needs.

The only thing that those people look for is a new (no remake, remaster or Switch 2 édition) mainline (no spinoff) of a Nintendo heavy hitter (2D or 3D Mario platformer, Zelda, Smash, Animal Crossing, Splatoon, Kart, Pokemon and to a lesser degree, Metroid, Paper Mario and Luigi's Mansion), and since none of those has been announced yet, it's weak for those.

Needless to say that those guys are missing out on a lot of fun with the smaller titles...
