5M agoNintendo really did have an incredible year this year. They earned that top publisher award.
If this was the last year before a new console, it may be the least coasting they've done for a console's final year.
I dunno. I don't expect the new console to arrive before holiday 2024 so we're still having one year ahead of us.
That's a good point. We could get a Switch 2 in December and nearly a year of leftovers and remakes until then. Hopefully Nintendo gives us at least a few things to be excited about.
