So rumors are now saying the Switch 2 isn't coming until next year. Predictably a lot of people are devastated by this despite not knowing anything about it to get hyped over in the first place, but personally so long as they actually have things to release for the remainder of the year (which granted at the moment it's not really looking like) I'm not in any real rush. 2024 look like a bit of a light year so far. MvDK is a fairly small game (& one I wonder why it wasn't simply an NSO release), PMTTYD is a bigger deal but still not a new game, ditto for LM2, Peach is basically the biggest game we know of And it's not exactly "BIG" big. Pokemon this year is rumored to be Let's Go Johto, which yet again falls into the "Ok, but hardly major" category. Switch right now feels like late stage 3DS, where the releases were still there but noticeably smaller in scale. People were hoping for Switch 2 to be the shot in the arm.

Really so long as by the end of the year we finally get Wind Waker and Twilight Princess you won't hear me complaining. And given by all accounts Nintendo's had them done for ages and just been waiting for a hole in the schedule I would have to imagine they're coming soonish.

If there is a genuine delay of Switch 2, this could be the year of likely finished ports/remakes being released all year: TP/WW, Prime 2 & 3, Genealogy of the Holy War.

For the love of god can we please get the Wind Waker and Twilight Princess ports!!!! I bought both when they first came out, I bought both of the HD remakes, and I'm just itching to spend more money to buy them for Switch because I desperately wanna play them again but don't feel like setting up shop in my garage and playing them on the Wii U.

Yeah, like, I did a run through of the Gamecube version of Twilight Princess just last year (I have them on Wii U, it's just my stick drifts just enough for me to not want to bother) and I'd still buy these things immediately if they'd ever just release them already.

You dangle anything labeled āZeldaā in front of me, Iāll probably buy it. Iām such a whore for the Zelda games haha

Iām such a whore for the Zelda games haha Kind of mostly the same, but I have a very hard time seeing myself buying the next 3D entry after how much I disliked Tears of the Kingdom and just in general how little interest I have in these sprawling 200 hour open world epics that have infested the industry of late. Like honestly I'm completely prepared to skip the next 3D Mario if the rumors of it being an open world are true and there isn't a 3D Mario game I dislike nearly as much as I do TotK.

I quite enjoyed TotK myself but I would like to see it return to the traditional style. Or copy Link Between Worlds, and do a traditional 8 dungeon sorta game that you can tackle in whatever order you want (theoretically. Iāve never actually tried playing that out of order). Find some middle ground, but I would be very, very okay if they go a different direction with the next Zelda then BotW

Thought if they did Pokemon, Black and White would be getting the remake edition as It's next in line.

That's what most thought, but apparently according to leakers we can expect Let's Go Wooper and Let's Go Togepi instead of a B&W remake. Or a proper Johto remake that doesn't cost like $150+ to get ahold of.

The most reliable Pokemon leaker's been indicating for awhile that a Black & White thing of some variety is coming, though also - because he's an attention whore who does everything in riddles rather than just saying anything - he has been kind of indicating that there's also some kind of Johto thing coming. Though the Wooper & Togepi thing looks sketchy as all hell, including seeming to recycle assets from stuff on Deviantart, so I wouldn't put a lot of faith in that specifically.
That said I really, really hope it isn't a Let's Go game. The first one was okay I guess but I certainly wouldn't pay for a second and its purpose as the baby starter game in the series has already been filled so there really isn't any kind of need for another one. Genuinely would rather buy a ROM of Crystal than I would have a Let's Go version.

I have zero faith in that accuracy, and so did the clickbate bullshit site I read it on, but the idea of them trying "Let's Go" again doesn't seem like a stretch. I have a copy of Black, or White, I'm not sure, that I bought on clearance years ago and have never played so I'd be down for a new B&W

I think for a Let's Go for Johto it'd be some like Larvitar or Mareep

Tyranitar and Ampharos were two of my team the first time I beat Silver, I'd be down with those being the picks haha

Wooper's definitely odd when Pikablu-I mean Marril is there.
Actually, given that GSC Misty had a Quagsire, I wonder if Misty is the common element behind these picks & she is getting an expanded role in the story. Since I am of the personal opinion that HGSS Misty is the best Misty, & this will be the first 3D appearance of said Best Misty, I am 100% in favor of her having more screen.
{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW} Maybe also retcon her date being Red all along.
EDIT: Upon further pondering, the 1st Let's Go games were more based on Yellow version than RGB, thus the next one could be more based on Crystal. Which featured Suicune a lot more than GS did. & wouldn't ya know it, Misty caught Suicune in the Adventures manga (being giving it away to Kris). Maybe I'm on to something
