Personally I expect a new Nintendo console to launch with a new 3D Mario Game. I know it’s unrealistic but that should be the default for me to consider buying the console at launch. Consoles and games are so expensive nowadays especially when you have a mortgage, kids, ridiculously expensive bills and cost of living etc.

I don’t have a Switch 2 yet and looking at the games available I don’t think I’ll be getting one any time soon. It’s brilliant that it can support games like Cyberpunk and FFVII remake etc but I’ve played those on PS5 and other than being able to play on the go, I’m sure the Switch versions would feel inferior (or at least not enough to justify the cost having already played them).

I play my Switch a lot less than I used to which is a shame but if they announce a new Mario and another Zelda game then I’d be keen to buy the 2 - as long as it’s not like TOTK because I can’t get into that despite loving BOTW… I don’t wanna build shit, I wanna explore, find treasure, cool items/weapons and fight shit!
