Bring back more dormant franchises

Over the years, the Nintendo Switch has cultivated one of the most baller catalogs of any console in my lifetime. It’s got everything you could want from a Nintendo system, including a number of Mario and Pokémon games that have sold gangbusters, but it’s also been the site of a few revivals. Most notably, Nintendo seemingly resuscitated its dormant Metroid franchise, and has even brought back the Famicom Detective Club games. I guess when you sell as well as the Switch has, you begin to feel like maybe you can perform a few miracles, and I want Nintendo to lean into that. There are so many beloved series that could either use full ports or remasters, or better yet, a brand new installment. Mother is the thing that comes most to mind, especially considering its influence on so many modern RPGs like Undertale and the enduring popularity of both Ness and Lucas in the Super Smash Bros. games. But also, give me a new Star Fox, y’all. Stop being cowards. — Moises Taveras
