Where does Nintendo go from here? Honestly, other than just getting more powerful hardware, what happens now? After Metroid Prime 4 and maybe Mario Odyssey 2, how can they possibly expand on their franchises without just porting the games with a little bit of new content (which is something they were already doing to begin with)? All of Nintendo's games are so massive right now that I can't actually imagine them making games that are more grandiose. How do you follow up something like Smash Ultimate or Tears of the Kingdom?
I'd love to see the next Zelda and the next Smash take a step back (maybe another old Zelda remake or some 3DS remake ports, and then a Smash game with less characters but totally revamped movesets) while something else that's at least relatively fresh makes its way into the limelight. Whether that's a new IP or a game like Star Fox or F-Zero, or hell maybe even Kid Icarus or Ice Climbers getting a new, modern game.
I think that would be much easier for them to pull off than trying to make something bigger than Tears of the Kingdom... Unless it takes them 10+ years I just don't see how it is feasible. The game is insane. Smash Ultimate has, what, 90 characters? Porting it and adding more is something I'm sure Sakurai doesn't even want to do. Mario Kart 8 will basically have that problem when its expansions are all released as well.
Oh, I guess another Kirby game in the style of Forgotten Land is a definite.
