Little bit random, but its wild to me how we got Xeno2, 3, all their DLC, and Xenoblade Genesis before we got a new 3D Mario. Really makes you wonder what they’re cooking…I couldn’t imagine the pressure to deliver on a follow up to SMOdyssey.

Remember the team brought out DKB, the modern first party structure has also been more into giving more of a library a push so they don't need to rely on the usual top IPs as much for success. This also helps with scheduling as the bigger IPs like a 3D Mario can be more strategically scheduled where as before it had to be out within the first two years to generate initial momentum.
