Forums - Nintendo - 2026 - What Nintendo IPs that skipped Switch will come to Switch 2?

F-Zero is a lock imo, especially getting an Air Riders game and so many updates to 99. I also think Star Fox is locked to come back too, but I think it will be a complete re-invention of the IP. My left-field one is Earthbound, which I think will get a high profile remake and maybe a localization of Mother 3 finally. All leading to a Mother 4 would be the dream, but that might be asking for too much

I feel like the success of F-Zero 99 means a typical new title in F-Zero is coming. Also, I'd have to imagine Nintendo is pleased with how the F-Zero games are streamed on NSO, unless somehow almost no one is playing X or GX. Unlikely, so if the numbers of players are good it can encourage Nintendo to make another one.

Star Fox feels inevitable. Even if it's 10-15 years, Nintendo goes back to it. And we're at 10.



Lifetime Sales Predictions 

Switch: 161 million (was 73 million, then 96 million, then 113 million, then 125 million, then 144 million, then 151 million, then 156 million)

PS5: 122 million (was 105 million, then 115 million) Xbox Series X/S: 38 million (was 60 million, then 67 million, then 57 million. then 48 million. then 40 million)

Switch 2: 120 million (was 116 million)

PS4: 120 mil (was 100 then 130 million, then 122 million) Xbox One: 51 mil (was 50 then 55 mil)

3DS: 75.5 mil (was 73, then 77 million)

Does not have to be this exact style but what if Earthbound got a remake where they looked like claymation. It would have a lot of charm. Never getting a new game but a remake can happen. I mean hell LIVEALIVE got one. All the Cosmic Fantasy games got localized 35 years later and ported to Switch. Stranger things have happened with other RPG series.

I love the idea of an Earthbound remake!

My big wants are Donkey Kong Country, Star Fox and F-Zero.

Right now I don't feel too good about the former two, but F-Zero is seeming increasingly likely for once...

As you probably know, a remake of Mother 2 for GameCube was conceptualized with a similar art style. I think they should remake the whole trilogy like that and release them internationally.

I think Star Fox and Wario Land are the most likely ones to come back during the Switch 2 era, maybe F-Zero too but a bit less likely than the first two imo
