Super Metroid Remake and Metroid Ravenous 😃

Super Metroid Remake would be nice - I just recently replayed Super Metroid, Zero Mission and Fusion, and Super Metroid could really benefit from few tweaks of GBA games (though, there is ROM hack Super Metroid Redux that does most of that).

My wishlist:

A lot more information on the Ocarina of Time remake. That last trailer introduced more questions than answers.
A Zelda-themed Switch 2 and Pro Controller
News on 3D Super Mario (if only so we can stop belaboring its absence)
A port of Monster Hunter Wilds
Super Monkey Ball 1 & 2 on GCN NSO, complete with online multiplayer
Additional multiplayer maps for Star Fox
News on the next Animal Crossing
A definitive edition of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate with all DLC on cart
A physical release of The Witcher III Remastered

I think this should be the smash bros release for this generation. SSBU with all DLC and maybe more online multiplayer features.

I'm hoping for Mario Kart Updates and DLC. World needs elevating to motivate me to play it again. I'm still in the would rather just play MK8 instead mindset.

The opposite just happened, they updated MK8 for Switch 2... Lmao. MK8 superiority.

Kirby Planet Robo-Bot and Yoshi’s Woolly World would make for some amazing late gen Switch 1 ports… just saying, Nintendo.

At this point, I think things like that are all that is left for first-party support on Switch, like 3DS was after a year after Switch came out.

Nintendo has no real incentive to make any new games for Switch at this point with Switch 2's fast sales.

Lifetime Sales Predictions

Switch: 159 million (was 73 million, then 96 million, then 113 million, then 125 million, then 144 million, then 151 million, then 156 million, then 161 million)

PS5: 116 million (was 105 million, then 115 million, then 122 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)

I agree that Nintendo’s probably looking exclusively at NS2 moving forward, though those Tomodachi Life and Rhythm Heaven numbers are pretty strong when compared to a game like Pokopia. Three big hits, but one is limited by its install base.
