With the official announcement of the Nintendo Switch 2 on the horizon, fans all over the world are buzzing with excitement.
But alongside the anticipation for brand-new titles, there’s one burning question in every nostalgic gamer’s heart:
“What beloved series deserves a sequel on the Switch 2?”
In this article, we highlight 7 iconic Nintendo games—many with cult followings overseas—that fans are desperate to see return.
Plus, we add a fun twist: imagined sequel titles that just might be real someday.
🎮 1. Super Mario Odyssey 2
Imagined Title: Super Mario Odyssey: Galaxy Road
Arguably the best 3D Mario game of all time, Odyssey redefined what a Mario adventure could be.
Now fans want even more freedom—and what better way than by blending Odyssey’s sandbox world with Galaxy’s space-themed charm?
🗡 2. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess Sequel
Imagined Title: The Legend of Zelda: Eclipse of Shadows
Twilight Princess delivered a darker, mature take on the Zelda universe.
Fans are craving a return to that atmosphere—this time with an “eclipse” of even deeper narrative mysteries.
🏁 3. F-ZERO GX 2
Imagined Title: F-ZERO NX
It’s been over 20 years since we got a proper F-ZERO game.
This high-speed, brutally challenging racing series is long overdue for a return—and the Switch 2’s power could finally do it justice.
🚀 4. Star Fox Zero Remake / Sequel
Imagined Title: Star Fox: Reignite
Star Fox Zero was a bold experiment on the Wii U, but its motion controls divided fans.
A remake or soft reboot on Switch 2—with polished controls and cinematic flare—might be the revival this series deserves.
🔗 5. Astral Chain 2
Imagined Title: Astral Break
This stylish action game from PlatinumGames and Nintendo won critical praise for its unique dual-combat system.
The sequel? Perhaps it’s time to “break the chains” and explore deeper themes of control and freedom.
🌌 6. Xenoblade Chronicles X (Remaster + Sequel)
Imagined Title: Xenoblade Chronicles X: Frontier
One of the most underrated gems on the Wii U, Xenoblade X was a sci-fi open-world dream.
Switch 2 could offer the perfect canvas for a remastered version—and finally, a proper sequel to explore new worlds.
🔥 7. Bayonetta 4
Imagined Title: Bayonetta: Eternal Eclipse
Bayonetta 3 was divisive, but the love for the series remains strong.
A fourth entry that dives deeper into celestial mythology and dark elegance—powered by Switch 2’s upgraded hardware—could make this the most powerful Bayonetta yet.
📝 Final Thoughts
The Nintendo Switch 2 will bring new games, sure—but it’s also a chance to reignite classics, expand beloved universes, and give forgotten heroes another shot.
