Switch 2 is rumoured for 2024, but what could be launch titles? Metroid prime 4 would be a candidate, but might not a be a system seller.

A new 3d Mario could be a possibility, given wonder is a 2.5d and another team might be working on something.

Zelda - we’ve just had totk released so that seems out.

Mario kart 9 could be a system seller.

Splatoon 3 was only recently released.

What else could be lined up for a launch window, assuming a 2024 release? Maybe 2024 is less plausible 🤔

    Xenoblade X remaster/definitive edition.

    Main trilogy is complete and wrapped up. X is still stuck on the Wii U and the online needs bringing back in a big way

      I’m currently playing the XC Definitive Edition and I’d love to play X! I heard many saying it’s a good game

        It’s great, just very very different.

        No links to the other games in story, other than nopon appearing and one type of unique monster. No real main character (create your own), missions and exploration over story. Very minimal story. Huge mechs, soundtrack by Hiroyuki Sawano (attack on titan) complete with rap during battles.

        It’s a very frustrating game, but it is gigantic, has some awesome worlds to explore and is worth playing

        I was disappointed in it at launch as it was not what I expected from Xenoblade after getting that one at launch here in the UK in 2011 - that was incredible.

      Apparently the main thing that’s been holding Monolith back from remastering X has been trouble updating the engine for Switch. More powerful hardware might enable it… let’s hope.

      With their dev cycle and work culture I don’t think we’re getting a launch Xenoblade though, or even anything.
