No 3D Mario on Switch 2 yet seems to have short-circuited a lot of folks

This month's Starfox remake most likely exists to ascertain whether there is actually an audience for the IP any more (something that hasn't been clearly demonstrated since the 90s) without risking the amount of money it would cost to build an all new one.

If it succeeds, we'll likely see a new game follow.

Yeah, testing the waters is a reasonable thing to do, after such a long time in which the franchise failed to do anything. Some people seem to think that because they have rose-tinted glasses from then they played the thing in the past millenium that they know better than everyone and their tastes matter more. I played a lot of games in the 90s which are basically dead now. I liked some of them. I don't think everyone else that likes other games is stupid and only my tastes matter and only because there was no real try the series didn't recover. So let's see, if it really is a much hyped franchise and the second biggest game of the year we will see in sales numbers.

Sales wise, the second biggest game of the year, at least on Switch 2, is either Pokemon Pokopia or Switch Sports Resort, both will sell far more than Starfox.
