As Nintendo is gearing up for the release of its next console, 2024 has been a somewhat slow year for the publisher. Buoyed mostly by nostalgic re-releases of classic titles, Nintendo has kept their Switch output relatively light for this year, presumably to save its biggest new titles for the next system. This is a common practice that Nintendo has gone through even on its strongest systems, and it seems like the Switch is just another example of Nintendos long-running ideology.
