This one game has been in development for so long that the Nintendo Switch is about to end its life cycle, yet it is nowhere to be seen. However, there are some reasons for this.

There is a possibility Nintendo will show it at the start of next year. Then they would be able to say that it was coming at the end of 2024, and they would have almost one more year to work on it.

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door

Nintendo announced this one in 2023 itself. This is one of those games that gave people hope for a new console. In this game’s trailers, they noticed a bunch of button prompts that hinted at Nintendo’s new console being somewhat inspired by the SNES.

One thing that fans have yet to see is how this game would actually look and play on Nintendo’s current-gen console. Let’s hope they get a glimpse at it during this upcoming showcase.

The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker and Twilight Princess HD for Switch

Yes, these two games have been on the list of pretty much every Nintendo fan out there. Rumors of these HD versions started coming with Metroid Prime Remastered. While the latter launched earlier this year, these two remain.

It was even suggested that Nintendo has them all ready to ship. Since last year, there was rumors surrounding a Winder Waker Switch port, but fast forward to today, there is nothing. There’s no better time than now for Nintendo to let these games loose.
