I want to mention that F-Zero 99 is genuinely the best online game Nintendo has ever put out

All it needs is Forest I - II - II and Metal Fort I - II, split the Ace League courses into two leagues, include Classic versions (and possibly music?) and you'll have something real cool for F-Zero fans (+ Sand Storm I - II are actually pretty fun with 99 players)

Hell yeah!

One of the best games of 2023 ez, absolutely under represented in discussions about releases of the year/game of the year discourse

not a high bar

Tetris 99 and Super Mario Bros 35 (rip) are/were also great.
