Nintendo Gaming / Re: What will Nintendo release in 2026?

« Last post by Stratos on January 07, 2026, 03:10:33 PM »

Still hanging on in the top 5! There's a lot of reasonable guesses folks could make. New remakes and "Switch 2 Editions" we could see to pad out the release schedule.

There are a couple Wii U titles missing for a "complete replacement". Yoshi's Wooly World is surprisingly absent. Especially with a 3DS version with exclusive material, getting a "complete HD" version would be nice, I'm sure there are a few others games in a similar position that would benefit from a new release.

Also the 40th anniversary of Legend of Zelda.

We could see new editions of Ocarina/Majora, or a few other releases.

I'm hoping we get Switch Online releases of Diddy Kong Racing, DK64, and Star Fox Adventures.

And Fire Emblem has been silent a while. Those games often drop in groups, so I'm thinking some new spinoffs and retro Switch Online releases will follow the new mainline title.

These aren't my full predictions. Just throwing out some initial thoughts.

Yeah, I have often thought about summing up total hours played for the year and comparing daily averages year to year but accurate measures of play time are not always available.

TalkBack / Re: Superhero Strategy Adventure Dispatch Listed For January Switch 2 And Switch Launch

Nice to see Dispatch making the jump to both Switch and Switch 2 so quickly. The concept is refreshingly different, the Telltale pedigree shows, and that free Switch → Switch 2 upgrade plus a January launch makes it an easy one to keep an eye on—especially for fans of narrative-driven strategy games.

I totally agree. Excited for the updated experience on both Switch and Switch 2. A challenging experience indeed!

An impressive number of Platinums broodwars! As to be expected from the backlaugust champion.

Thanks. Probably could have gotten more than 31 in if I hadn't decided to finally catch up on the 150 hour monsters that are the Xenoblade games. At least all I have left now is X, and that can wait its sweet time considering it has **** all to do with the rest of the series.

Edit: Oops, forgot all about Princess Peach Showtime. It's harder to track what you've completed on Switch than it is on PS5, since the PS App tracks every game I've gotten a trophy in, in order.
