Well, they'll have Zelda and Mario for sure, obviously. And a Mario Kart for a new install base and Splatoon 2. Hopefully they can fill in at least one major third-party slot, maybe FIFA / some other sports entry as well. Zelda and Mario Odyssey is a hell of a holiday package though.Someone mentioned in another thread that Nintendo managed to make Zelda "cool" again with Breath of the Wild. It's only just come out, and that kind of thing is highly subjective, but if Zelda *does* end up being "in" again as a widely popular mainstream video game property, that raises the profile of other Nintendo evergreen properties too. Not that Mario has ever not been popular, but people taking notice of Zelda again makes people take notice of Mario (and Nintendo in general) even more.
