As a Metroid fan, having no new game is sometimes preferable. 😔 But I agree, F-Zero in particular has been neglected for far too long, even longer than Star Fox!

I hope Star Fox is something similar to what Metroid Prime Remastered was for Retro Studios. They used it as a project to get a new team to learn how to make a Metroid Prime. This could be a project to learn how to make Star Fox on Switch 2. So it'll hopefully be a new beginning with more titles in the future following the same style.

I don't think we'll hear about new 3D Mario this year if we didn't hear anything around the movie. Like Zelda, it's probably taking ages because they'll make something proper and big. Mario needs to implement some new game mechanic, who knows what they'll come up with.

We won't get a new F-ZERO until Mario Kart stagnates. Miyamoto once said something to the effect of Nintendo not wanting to have two racing games compete with each other.

I'd also like a Mother 4, but you can only ask for so much.

I'd wager Mario gets SOMETHING this year for the 40th anniversary, but it'll be a smaller title this fall/winter. Zelda just got TotK, so we shouldn't expect a big new title for a couple years.
