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. (ETA: This includes Nintendo Switch 2 Edition games)
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.
