Switch 2 is rumoured for 2024, but what could be launch titles? Metroid prime 4 would be a candidate, but might not a be a system seller.

A new 3d Mario could be a possibility, given wonder is a 2.5d and another team might be working on something.

Zelda - we've just had totk released so that seems out.

Mario kart 9 could be a system seller.

Splatoon 3 was only recently released.

What else could be lined up for a launch window, assuming a 2024 release? Maybe 2024 is less plausible 🤔

In keeping with Nintendo naming conventions it with be the "switch u" or more likely "switcheroo" It will be a VR based system that seems like an add on peripheral for the switch, but is actually a new system that nobody buys due to confusion and lack of titles.

Fun fact. The Wii 2 was called the Wii u because the Japanese word for 2 is 'ni'.

I have doubts about the VR thing. Since VR in general doesn't seem to be healthy or safe for kids under 13. The lowest age recommendation for a VR headset is 12 and that's just Sony. I highly doubt Nintendo is going to put their brand in the line for a gimmick as weak as VR is. Besides Nintendo gimmicks are about unique innovation. Not rehashing an already dying gimmick.
