The Switch being moved is just a rumor [1](https://www.reddit.com/r/NintendoSwitch/comments/1asf2io/nintendo_switch_2_is_claimed_to_launch_in_q1_of/) [2](https://www.reddit.com/r/NintendoSwitch/comments/1auqpn6/nintendo_shares_tumble_after_game_makers_say/), but we know nothing about the second half of the year. Princess Peach is almost here, Thousand Year Door arrives in May, and Luigi’s Mansion 2 in June. If the plan for Christmas was a Switch 2 or Pro, does that push back the Christmas planned releases?
Beyond Nintendo announcements, there aren’t many third party announcements. If third parties were planning on releasing games with an updated Switch, they might push back releases. The only thing I know of with a Christmas season release date is Fantasy Life 2. And that was a 2023 release that got pushed back! Is there anything else I’m missing? I really want to see the Suikoden remasters that got pushed back, but I’m not very hopeful there. Some indies are coming, but I don’t feel like they can carry the holiday season.
So where does that leave us? I wonder if some of the games Nintendo is supposedly sitting on could be released? [There have been rumors about more Zelda ports and more Metroid Prime coming or even being done for years.](https://www.reddit.com/r/NintendoSwitch/comments/x3533g/jeff_grubbs_game_mess_podcast_says_they_expect/%20https://twitter.com/JeffGrubb/status/1625161163217547264) Really, being the year of remasters would make sense if Nintendo wants to hold big new games for a system release.
They could re-release limited games like 3D All Stars or Mario 35. Since 3D all-stars was incomplete, they could release a complete version with Galaxy 2 so it’s not the same game.
Could we see another Pokemon remake? [There was recent news Pokemon started a new subsidary company called Pokemon Works in the same building as ICLA.](https://twitter.com/JoeMerrick/status/1767241453200171456) ICLA is the dev for the Pokmeon Diamond/Pearl Switch remakes. They could just be helping make future Pokemon games in general.
It’s possible we could see a big game that we know is in development like Prime 4. Many have guessed with as long as development is taking that it will be a dual release for the Switch and the successor.
Of course there could be new games coming that just haven’t been announced yet. What do you think? Am I forgetting about anything big?
