That's very cool, but I think they should have waited a bit, maybe even move it to the Switch 2. Three Mario RPGs in a year is a lot, maybe space them out a bit more to prevent fatigue, you know?
Nah, fuck that, all us M&L series fans have been waiting 9 years for a new entry. If anything the other 2 should be cancelled if you feel that way
People can't let others have fun. Everything is supposed to be done for them in particular
Releasing similar games close to each other is known to cannibalize sales of each other, so it's not a completely bad suggestion. Hopefully Nintendo have enough data to know this won't cause much issue.
We're talking about Nintendo. It'll sell
Don't worry, we'll all be able to purchase the game on Switch 2, eventually. And anyone who missed it or wants to play it again will pick it up. Everybody wins, except our wallets!
