I'd bet against this - seems like a very not-Nintendo move.

The closest I can think of might have been delaying BOTW for so long so it could go from being Wii U-exclusive to a dual release helping to launch the Switch. But as much as Nintendo loves remaking games, I don't think they'd launch a new console with a remake of the most recent Zelda game.

I'd bet on the new console launching with a 1-2 punch of both Mario Kart 9, and a brand new main series Zelda or Mario game.

With how weird the new Mario game is, I swore that it was going to end with a Switch 2 announcement. Even in the direct they never mention that the game will be on Switch (though the standalone trailer does).

Did they mention anything about its release timeline? It may not be out of the question that it's a dual release if it's far enough out. Though launching with a 2D Mario game would seem a bit ballsy to me

Ah. Oh well...

The longer the better, as far as I'm concerned - the Switch is my favorite console of all time, and I'm afraid they're going to change what made it great.

I think that a new Zelda is years away, but the Switch’s successor will come out next year or early 2025 at the latest.

I do expect Mario Kart 9 and a new 3D Mario at launch.

I think they’ll release a Tears of the Kingdom “Deluxe” a few months later (similar to what they did with Mario Kart 8 on the Switch). Enough people want a higher-res TotK that it’s worth making, but banking on an upscaled port as a launch title isn’t something they’d do.
