Don't get me wrong of course, I'd love a new 3D Mario as much as the next guy and I'm not convinced that prioritizing Donkey Kong over it was the right move commercially speaking.
Nintendo's primary objective this year so far has clearly been to capture the more "casual" gamer with the likes of Pokopia, Tomodachi, and Yoshi, plus Switch Sports Resort in the back half, as well as courting older/lapsed gamers by bringing back Starfox and Ocarina.
So if you're more an enthusiast gamer who's not nostalgic for the N64 era, I get it if this approach isn't lighting your world on fire.
It's more that games such as DK Bananza, Pokemon Pokopia, Splatoon Raiders, and such seem to be consistently dismissed simply because they're not 3D Mario or Smash, which historically released early on for past systems.
