Nintendo plays it safe with Switch 2

Nintendo's recent Direct showcase for the Switch 2 missed an opportunity to excite new audiences. Despite the console facing a price increase in its second holiday season, the company revealed few truly novel titles. Instead, two major exclusives planned for 2026 are remakes of Nintendo 64 classics, including "The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time." This conservative approach suggests Nintendo may be prioritizing familiar franchises over innovative new content, potentially impacting the Switch 2's long-term appeal and market reception.
