That’s probably gonna happen later in the Switch 2’s lifespan, considering Splatoon 3 had its final Splatfest not too long.

With that said I hope they port Splatoon 1 to Switch 2
I wouldn’t be surprised if Splatoon 1 even comes to Switch 1. For the 10th anniversary of the series, it’d be a cool throwback.

Can see this. Been wondering if there was a way for EPD 5 to get an Animal Crossing & Splatoon game out early in Switch 2s lifecycle (even if also on Switch 1) given the strength of both series right now. Was leaning more towards them handing Splatoon to another studio for a spinoff but can see a port with maybe some sort of bonus &/or Splatfests events for a bit.

I see we came to a consensus that Miis should at the bare minimum stay for backwards compatibility, but what are the odds of updates to how they're presented? I think they kind of need that in order to stay relevant in modern HD games. The helmets in Mario Kart 8 are absolutely done to cover their static hair, and stuff like eyes looking to the side shouldn't have to be something Miitopia added itself.

I doubt Miis will be phased out much more considering things like their cameo in the Mario Kart ride at Super Nintendo World, the option to put one on your Nintendo Museum ticket, and use in an active game like Pikmin Bloom. They could be updated in a way that stays true to their original style, especially considering the backlash Sportsmates got. (Though considering Switch Sports sold so well regardless, that may not concern them much.)

Safe to say they're not being phased out now. Though from the look of Tomadachi 2, their presentation is unfortunately not being changed much

I'm a little confused why they're seemingly redesigning them for a specific Switch 1 game a year after the Switch 2. Maybe by the time it comes out, the Switch 2 will have stuff like the ears as part of the base Mii Maker.

With Nintendo, never underestimate them discovering some new concept to try with Mii's. Something utilizing them in a title with the Joy Con mouse feature (just to name one hypothetical) wouldn't surprise me in the least.
