You mean a SMB3 remake with New Mario Bros visuals?

Why would the remake a perfect game? HD Super Mario Bros 3 sounds gross.

The switch is doing just fine, or are sales declining?

It’s declining in both hardware and software, although still doing surprisingly well considering it’s >6-years old.

You'll get a new mario game in 12 months time and that's pretty much going to be it

Yep. Likely launch with a new Super Mario game (Odyssey 2?) and likely a 'new' version of Zelda:TOTK which will take advantage of the new hardware (but I bet the current game would be playable on the system...just not upscaled)

Back on topic, yeah I guess they could announce the next device this year.
IIRC, they said they wouldn't release a new console this fiscal year but I presume that doesn't mean they can't announce it (to release next fiscal year).
There was some bad reporting and Nintendo never actually said that. What they said is that they have only announced a hardware target for the original Switch.
So they could announce it Jan 2024 and release it March 2024 for example.

not tag worthy
but then its the sequel they suffer, before the Wii U it was the Wii,
handheld wise they are usually all good, (virtual boy wasn't a handheld)

like what? every console fan is like this, PC fans are like this but they judge you more because they believe they are the master race, which is wrong. they are just richer idiots, than console fans, who are just poorer idiots than PC Fans anf mobile gamers only are just idiots. we should all have fun... ok take care

I said the ”full wizard” comment, being funny. But seriously. It seems likely to me, Nintendo announces something at the world event in Seattle in September.
Lots of rumors of a new Mario…
One would assume new 3d Mario would be kept for a next gen experience.
Super Mario Galaxy 2 was left off the Mario collection. Could it be Mario Galaxy 2 HD?
Lots of people are speculating that it is a new 2d Mario. Ok, do we really think it is a new game? A game based on the movie? Doesn’t seem like a Nintendo thing to do. So, it seems possible that it is a 2d remake. Which game are you choosing to remake… Mario 3, Super Mario World, Mario 3d Land?
Nintendo won’t even acknowledge Super Mario 2. So, that seems out.
If this is even real…seems likely that it could actually be a “Deluxe” Remake of Mario 3. But moreover, it seems like something is going to be announced in September. Will be interesting to see.

Good point, looks like I should have checked the actual Japanese lol. Meanwhile I found this:
任天堂・古川俊太郎社長が「次世代機を発売する必要性はない、とは考えていません」とコメント。2023年3月期・決算説明会の質疑応答にて
任天堂は5月10日（水）、2023年3月期決算説明会（オンライン）の質疑応答の内容を公開した。

The Nintendo president seems to have said that the timing around how they announced Nintendo Switch (ie announcing it conceptually as NX in 2015 before properly announcing as Switch in 2017) was a special case.
In that case, we should perhaps look at the gap between initial reveal (as a concept), announcement, and actual launch for some of Nintendo's previous consoles:
Gamecube
1999: announced publicly as codename Dolphin at Nintendo press conference.
2000: Formally name Gamecube at press conference in Japan in August 2000.
2001: Gamecube software lineup revealed at E3 2001.
2001: Launch price of $199 announced in May 2001.
2001: Launch in Japan in September 2001.
Nintendo Wii
2004: Announced conceptually under the codename "Revolution" at E3 2004.
2005: Console physically revealed (still as "Revolution") at E3 2005.
2006: Formally named Wii, a month before E3 2006.
2006: Announced to be launching "by the end of 2006" at E3 2006.
2006: Launched in North America and other regions between November and December 2006.
Nintendo Wii U
2011: Announced plans to release a successor to the Wii, to be released in 2012.
2011: Formally name Wii U and prototype available at E3 2011.
2012: Announced in September that the console would launch in November/December 2012 (US/Japan).
Based on the above, announcing the console in 2015 and actual releasing in 2017 isn't that weird by Nintendo standards.
I think if they were to announce it in Jan 2024 and release it in March 2024, that would almost definitely mean it's just a spec bump, otherwise (based on their past behavior) I'd expect Nintendo to spend more time "priming" the audience for what's to come (i.e., if the next console has a big new gimmick that needs explaining).

They could go hard with releases but depending how close their next console is, it would better to delay them and have a strong launch. I think we will see the next Mario as a launch title and Metroid Prime 4 as cross gen release similar to BOTW. I am surprised they haven't done the same for Pikmin 4.

Not a fan of this art style. Very mobile game like. Also, so many remakes remasters and rereleases. I’m kind of tired of today’s Nintendo.

Hahaha. Yes, indeed. 2d Mario it is. …Now that it is true…I’m going to make a new thread…but this is part of a larger question…. Switch 2 is closer than you think. IMO, Between November 2023 and May 2024. Going to be fun.
