Glad to see the cartridge is not a key and has the game on it.

They could, but will they? Nintendo is weird like that. Sometimes they ignore what fans clearly want. I'd love an Oracle remake, but I won't be shocked if nothing 2D comes for years.

I am just seeing the game titled as "Shadow Labyrinth". Is "Pac-Man: Shadow Labyrinth" correct?

I don't want to put words in anyone's mouth, but...

I'm confused and scared.

What about?

Like, have you seen the news lately?  Been outside?

You can bet we’ll get another 2D Zelda. Starring Zelda or Link or both, doesn’t matter. I’m sure they are profitable enough to continue.

Mario, DK, Zelda, Metroid and Kirby will carry on with 2D and 3D titles. Yoshi and Wario need to get in on that.

The only Switch 2 game I currently have is Mario Kart World. I don't want to write a big, long thing (yet?) so I'll only say that it's mostly fun albeit sometimes frustrating, and I appreciate Nintendo at least trying to break up the formula and introduce something new to the series. The intermission races are kind of corny. And there are tons of instances in which the game doesn't respect the player's time (notably when retrying or the lack of that option in Grand Prix/Knockout Tour). Getting Mario Kart'd in first place is still a thing.

A "Restart" option would be most welcome in those modes. I get having to start from the first race again, but repicking the same driver, kart, cup, and difficulty gets tiresome.

I have sort of changed my strategy in this game since 8 deluxe. There I just went for first place and tried to get as much of a lead as I could. The usual blue shell wouldn't stop me from first. I found that wasn't working so I have been staying in second place and then taking the lead when the inevitable blue shell takes out an NPC. Seems to be working (better) so far.
