00:00A most warm welcome to my castle.
00:05Welcome to MojoPlays, and with the Switch 2's release quickly approaching,
00:10we're looking at games and franchises we hope to eventually see make an appearance.
00:15Meet us again? I'm never gonna live this down.
00:19You got that right.
00:22But before we get into it, we publish new content all week long.
00:26So be sure to subscribe and ring the bell to get notified about our latest videos.
00:32A new 3D Mario.
00:38Alright, let's get the big, obvious elephant in the room out of the way first.
00:42There is no way that Nintendo isn't working on a new 3D Mario game.
00:48I mean, come on, it's Mario.
00:49The Switch got the fantastic Super Mario Odyssey,
00:52as well as Bowser's Fury packaged in with the Super Mario 3D World port.
00:58Just like his other 3D adventures, we have no doubt his next would include an awesome,
01:03as of yet unheard of gimmick that delights the senses.
01:07However, with Bowser's Fury being smaller, yet completely open,
01:12it seemed like a great testing ground for something similar, yet grander in scale.
01:16Mario doesn't need to go completely open world,
01:20but something of a middle ground between that and Odyssey's large sandboxes would be excellent.
01:40This is somewhat of a dark horse pick, since there hasn't been a new one since 2009 on the Wii.
01:47But Punch-Out is due a new entry.
01:50That title itself was a comeback, the first one since 1994's Super Nintendo installment.
01:56And it was a decent hit, commercially and critically.
02:00When the Switch was released, with Joy-Cons featuring enhanced motion controls that fit in the palms of your hands,
02:07we got not a new Punch-Out, but ARMS.
02:11While that game sold well initially, it has long been left out of the conversation for must-have games.
02:17With the Switch 2, it seems a prime time to bring Little Mac back,
02:22with improved Joy-Cons, visuals, and frame rate that could help its cartoony art style soar.
02:34A new Fire Emblem.
02:37Ah, so you can't win unless you know my weakness.
02:41Poor princess.
02:43You really should believe in yourself more.
02:45To be fair, it hasn't been long since the last Fire Emblem, 2023's Engage.
02:51But in comparison to the other Switch installment, 2019's remarkable Three Houses,
02:57it left a lot to be desired when it came to its characters and story.
03:01It seems highly likely we'll get a new entry with the Switch 2.
03:05Not only did the first Switch get a ton of various JRPGs, but Fire Emblem has received consistent releases since
03:14it began back in 1990.
03:16It has grown increasingly popular over the years, but we're also eager to see how it would utilize the console's
03:22new features.
03:23Graphical upgrades and increased frame rate would be great for the anime-inspired visuals.
03:29But the mouse controls of the new Joy-Cons could also lead to a new gameplay hook for the tactical
03:35battles.
03:36Forgive me, I was so thrilled to spend time with you again.
03:41I suppose I got a little carried away, didn't I?
03:44A new F-Zero.
03:46Another one that seems like a long shot, F-Zero has been absent since the days of Game Boy Advance.
03:52We did get F-Zero 99 in 2023, but that essentially took 16-bit assets and put them in a
04:00Battle Royale format.
04:01And it wasn't exactly the brand new installment diehard fans were craving.
04:06Nintendo has commented in the past about why F-Zero has never returned, citing lower sales and a lack of
04:13innovation.
04:13But with the Switch 2 supporting up to 120 FPS, those lightning-fast races have the potential to look incredible.
04:22As for no innovation, Captain Falcon is a bounty hunter.
04:27If a new game were to factor in those elements, maybe even feature a gameplay hybrid of races and bounty
04:33collecting, it would likely grab more attention.
04:36The Switch also saw lower-selling franchises soar to new heights.
04:41And the Switch 2 could do the same.
04:44Resident Evil 4
04:45Where's everyone going? Bingo?
04:51The Switch 2 Direct showed the system will receive a lot of third-party support.
04:56And while Capcom did show off a new version of Street Fighter VI, another release from the studio would be
05:03a welcome sight.
05:04Several Resident Evil titles were released on the original Switch, like Village and the remake of RE2.
05:11But those were cloud versions.
05:13With the vastly improved tech of the Switch 2, it doesn't seem outside the realm of possibility that the RE4
05:20remake from 2023 could actually run on it.
05:24The new mouse controls could also lead to new gameplay, letting us point, click, and annihilate the undead.
05:30Plus, Resident Evil 4 originally launched as a GameCube exclusive.
05:36It just feels right.
05:37How unfortunate.
05:40Do make sure our guest feels at home, now that he has chosen dead.
05:46Luigi's Mansion 4
05:48If Next Level Games isn't going to develop a follow-up to their work on 2009's Punch-Out, it seems
05:55more likely they'll produce a new installment for Luigi's Mansion.
05:58The third game was a notable hit after launching in 2019, being both a delight to play through solo or
06:05in co-op.
06:06Nintendo actually purchased the studio in 2021.
06:10With the additional funding and support that could come from that, a potential fourth game could be even stronger.
06:17We wouldn't be surprised if there were new gameplay features to take advantage of the mouse controls.
06:22But so long as the team tapped into the same creativity for level design that was in Luigi's Mansion 3,
06:28which it had in spades, we'd be happy.
06:31A new Animal Crossing.
06:382020's New Horizons was the perfect game at the perfect time.
06:43And while it got several updates with events and sizable DLC, many fans were disappointed that Nintendo didn't continue to
06:51support it, which the game almost seems like it was designed for.
06:55Still, with a hit as big as that, we'd be shocked if there wasn't something new in the pipeline.
07:01We're eager to see what it would look like and how Nintendo could keep the style fresh.
07:06One obvious way, which we've mentioned in several entries, is through mouse controls.
07:10Those mechanics would fit nicely with gameplay that leans into designing, which New Horizons DLC definitely did.
07:19We would expect that would be the main selling point.
07:22Not that they need one other than a laid-back life with adorable critters.
07:30A new Star Fox.
07:33Unable to pinpoint your location due to lingering effects from the space-time warp.
07:37As of writing, Star Fox ended on a sour note.
07:412016's Zero was rightly criticized for its weird control scheme.
07:46The Switch version of Ubisoft's Starlink Battle for Atlas featured shoehorned-in story content with Star Fox characters.
07:54And neither of them sold well.
07:56But, man, knowing what we know about the Switch 2, a new game for the series could be monumental if
08:03done right.
08:04The visual enhancements and increased frame rate would make the planets and space battles of Fox McCloud's universe look phenomenal.
08:12With the new focus on game chat, co-op could make the game even stronger.
08:17Imagine taking on galactic warfare with a group of friends, or screen sharing to explore the far reaches of space
08:24and share what secrets you've uncovered.
08:26It could be huge, and I am begging Nintendo to give it to us.
08:32Returning to main objective.
08:36Super Mario Maker 3.
08:39Of all the games we've mentioned that could benefit from the Switch 2's focus on mouse controls, a new Super
08:45Mario Maker seems like the biggest no-brainer.
08:47Millions of players fell in love with designing and sharing their own Mario levels in previous games.
08:54It was a breeding ground for creativity.
08:57We'd be willing to bet that the intuitiveness of the series' UI would only become stronger with the simple joy
09:03of clicking, dragging, and manipulating different assets to design to our heart's content.
09:09That's not to mention that we've gotten a new 2D Mario game since the release of the second game, 2023's
09:16Wonder.
09:17Include assets of that game, along with updates to controls, and Nintendo would have another undeniable hit.
09:25A new Super Smash Bros.
09:34Look, I'm not even sure what a new Smash would entail, or how Nintendo could possibly top the glory that
09:41was Ultimate.
09:42That doesn't stop me from wanting it, though, and I doubt I'm the only one.
09:46Ever since the N64, Smash has been a glorious celebration of Nintendo history, eventually including multiple other video game icons.
09:55It doesn't seem like we'd get another everyone-is-here scenario, but there are still ways the roster could expand
10:02and evolve.
10:04It isn't just the characters or addictive mechanics.
10:07It's the stages, the music, the items, all of it which comes together to create this fascinating look at gaming
10:14history.
10:15And let's be honest, every Smash game is one of the biggest to launch on its respective console.
10:21Sooner or later, we'll get another one.
10:28What's a game you hope to see launch on the Nintendo Switch 2?
10:32Let us know about it in the comments.
