"Previewing Nintendo Switch's Upcoming Releases in 2023 and 2024"

Nintendo has announced several new games for the Switch, including a new 2D Mario, a new WarioWare, Detective Pikachu Returns, and a remake of Super Mario RPG, which will pad out the console's release schedule through 2023. However, beyond that, the Switch's future remains uncertain, with few major third-party publishers still supporting the aging platform. Nintendo is in a bind, as the Switch is too successful to replace just yet, but its technology is too old to keep up with current gaming developments. The company may be banking titles for the Switch's successor, but it's unclear when that will be released.

Ubisoft CEO Regrets Early Release of Mario + Rabbids on Nintendo Switch

Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot regrets releasing Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope on the Nintendo Switch and wishes the company had waited for the console's successor. Guillemot believes the game would have performed better if it had not released on the same platform as the first game, given their similar gameplay experiences. He also indirectly confirms a game coming to Nintendo's next console. Sparks of Hope launched in October 2022 to high critical praise but seemingly poor sales in what was otherwise a difficult year for Ubisoft.
