That direct really got me thinking, when the Switch is done it really might have the biggest catalogue for Nintendo franchises period looking back. Like for real:
Mario: Odyssey, Maker 2, NSMBU Deluxe, plus spinoffs and subsidiaries like Tennis Aces, Kart 8D, Party, and Mansion 3
Zelda: BotW, Link’s Awakening, Hyrule Warriors
Pokemon: Let’s Go, Gen 8
Kirby: Star Allies, whatever the hell the team is cookin up rn
Metroid: Prime 4, probably Prime Trilogy
Animal Crossing: well, animal crossing
Smash: Ultimate
Donkey Kong: Tropical Freeze
Pikmin: Pikmin 3 probably, Pikmin 4 hopefully
Fire Emblem: Three Houses, FE Warriors
Xenoblade: Xenoblade 2
Splatoon: Splatoon 2
Yoshi: Crafted World
And probably more in the making, plus new IPs and third parties.
RIP Star Fox tho. Killed by Zero, doomed to be a Starlink add-on for the rest of the Switch’s time.
