When Nintendo first unveiled the Switch 2 via a short teaser video in January, it felt the need to include a few seconds of footage of exactly one new video game running on the console: a new Mario Kart. This will be, numerically speaking, the ninth one, but it's very possible Nintendo calls it something other than Mario Kart 9.

With Nintendo's next-gen console on the horizon, it's a perfect time to revive some classic game titles with fresh graphics and features.

The Nintendo Switch era revitalized Nintendo after the Wii U's failure, leading to better games and a larger fanbase. Pokémon Legends: Arceus, Splatoon 3, and the Xenoblade Chronicles series were all successful additions to the Switch library.
