For each series, the respective market will resolve YES if:

  • A new game in the series is released specifically for Nintendo Switch 2.

    • A game releasing for Nintendo Switch and the Switch 2 being backwards compatible is NOT sufficient.

    • A game with specific versions for multiple consoles (like how Twilight Princess released for both GameCube and Wii, or third-party multiplatform games) IS sufficient.

  • A port or remaster of an existing game in the series is released on Nintendo Switch 2.

    • Emulations (such as Atari 50 or the Nintendo Switch Online service) are NOT sufficient.

All other markets resolve NO when Nintendo stops allowing games to be released both physically and digitally for Nintendo Switch 2, or when no games have officially released for Nintendo Switch 2 in over one year, whichever is earlier.

Whether a given game is part of a given series will be determined by how it is described by a consensus of reporting. If a market resolution seems likely to be controversial, I may conduct a Manifold poll to assist in determing the resolution.

Close date is provisional and may be adjusted.

  • Update 2025-04-01 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): - If there are separate builds for Switch 1 and Switch 2 (like Twilight Princess on GC and Wii), that is sufficient.

    • If there is extra functionality on Switch 2 that most backward-compatible games don't get (like DSi-enhanced software on DS games), that is sufficient.

SNES - NES: 1990 - 1983 = 7 years

Nintendo 64 - SNES: 1996 - 1990 = 6 years

GameCube - Nintendo 64: 2001 - 1996 = 5 years

Wii - GameCube: 2006 - 2001 = 5 years

Wii U - Wii: 2012 - 2006 = 6 years

Switch - Wii U: 2017 - 2012 = 5 years

Switch 2 - Switch: 2025 - 2017 = 8 years

they should make a sequel to Ring Fit Adventure

@Eric_WVGG god my Twitch babe following stocks would go through the freakin' roof

sold Ṁ21 NO

bought Ṁ200 YES

@noaht2 Seems like a pretty easy one, lol. I assume you mean mainline Mario games?

boughtṀ100 NO

@snazzlePop i put in a YES order if you want to fill it

opened a Ṁ1,500 YES at 25% order

@Robincvgr anyone want to fill ❤ (nb: market was at 10% until just now)

So if F-Zero GX 2 comes out in 2026 and it's playable on both the Switch and Switch 2, does that count? What if it has extra functionality for Switch 2?

@asmith a game coming out for Switch and the Switch 2 being backwards compatible isn't sufficient

if there are separate builds for Switch 1 and 2 (like Twilight Princess on GC and Wii), that is sufficient

if there is extra functionality on Switch 2 that most backcompat games don't get (like DSi-enhanced software on DS games was), that is sufficient

bought Ṁ30 YES

FYI, I’d think this would include any entries in the same setting, regardless of what the game’s headline is. (They tend to release with various names: Pesterquest, Friendsim, etc.)

@OP yes, makes sense to me; for example how Persona 5 is clearly part of the Shin Megami Tensei series

Where do emulated ports sit? Particularly if part of a collection. Eg the various sonic collections, or that three-in-one Mario collection of 64, Sunshine and Galaxy?

bought Ṁ25 YES

@OP emulations don't count, even if part of a collection. for example, I pointed out Atari 50 as not counting
