In the same year that the originalPokémon Snapreleased,Pokémon Stadiumalso released for the Nintendo 64. The ability to play handheldPokémongames on your television was a selling point ofPokémon Stadium. Plus, who could forget those beloved mini-games? There is much to relish about the game, which is why we needPokémon Stadium 3.
9Donkey Kong Switch
When we mention “Donkey Kong Switch,” we refer to a 3D adventure along the lines ofDonkey Kong 64.The non-linear composition ofDonkey Kong 64and its intriguing plot involving King K. Rool andDonkey Kong’s kidnapped friends was groundbreaking.
Donkey Kong 64is a product of developer Rare, a company that is now a subsidiary of Microsoft. Perhaps this change in ownership is why a3D Donkey Kong adventure gamehasn’t been made. Donkey Kong could be Nintendo’s second most prominent character, next toMario.Surely Nintendo can create a 3D Donkey Kong adventure game without violating trademarks.
8Super Mario Galaxy 3
SeeingMario blast off into outer spacefor a full adventure for the first time was a thrill ride like no other.Super Mario Galaxyis considered one of the greatestSuper Mariogames of all time because of its inventiveness, among other reasons. Using the Wii’s motion controls, you fight a variety of outer space bosses.
The game takes you to different galaxies, which are diverse with varying difficulties. It goes without saying that we want a second sequel on the Nintendo Switch.
7Super Mario Sunshine 2
According todigitaltrends.com,The Nintendo Switch has sold 55 million units. This would make the Nintendo Switch one of the highest selling Nintendo platforms of all time. It’s a chance for Nintendo tobring back old gameslikeSuper Mario Sunshine.

6Diddy Kong Racing 2
Diddy Kong Racingwas not so much as a close competitor toMario Kart, but the two existed harmoniously on the Nintendo 64. WhileMario Kartwas many people’s favorite because of more memorable characters and tracks,Diddy Kong Racingwas more competitive and had a single-player campaign.
Both games are excellent in their own right, but eightMario Kartgames later, we wish thatDiddy Kong Racinghad at least one sequel.
5Luigi’s Mansion 4
Luigi’s Mansionwas widely criticized by critics when the first game was released, despite its receiving a cult-following that demanded a sequel.
The game has grown into a Nintendo staple, and we are eagerly looking forward to the nextLuigi’s Mansiongame.“Filthy annoying plumber. Go back to yer pipes!“It’s quotes like these that giveLuigi’s Mansionoriginality.
4Donkey Kong Country 4
We mentioned a 3D Donkey Kong adventure game for the Nintendo Switch, but what aboutDonkey Kong Country? TheDonkey Kong Countryseries has released hit after hit, which is why a sequel exclusive to the Nintendo Switch is long overdue.

3Mario Kart 9
To elaborate on the point raised withDonkey Kong Country 4, we can look toMario Kart 9on the Nintendo Switch. We don’t know if they’ll name itMario Kart 9, but it would be welcomed with open arms on the Switch regardless.
Mario Kart 8 Deluxemay have been an exceptional package with all the DLC content, but it wasn’tthe Switch exclusive we wanted.There’s still time, and chances are a newMario Kartgame is in the works.
2Metroid Prime 4
It is confirmed thatMetroid Prime 4is being developed. We know that the game was early in its development phase when they had to start over from scratch.
Things appeared not to be working out how they hoped, so they are using Retro, the studio that worked on theoriginalMetroid Primeseries.Here’s another sequel we are eagerly waiting to play.
1The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2
