SMTV will definitely get delayed until 2022, and MIA for most of 2021

@-Green-

SMT V is still slated for 2021 in Japan according to the SegaSammy financial report.

Although the western release might slip into 2022 if the localization takes a while.

P.S. - Then I remembered that Atlus committed to a simultaneous worldwide release for SMT V, so...eh...

Switch Physical Collection - 1,540 games (as of January 28th, 2026)
Switch 2 Physical Collection - 4 games (as of December 8th, 2025)

I know I'm just taking a jab at Atlus' track record with delaying and going silent. If all goes well, the western release should be the same day as the others considering it's meant to be a simultaneous worldwide release.

I dunno, not necessarily. Nintendo very rarely like to announce things that far in advance. If Odyssey 2 is planned for christmas 2021, I expect they'll announce it at E3 next year. It would've been considered too distant for this year's celebration. Even having 3D World be a 2021 game was apparently unintended. It just got delayed, probably because of the new add-on they're making!

what if the rumored Switch Pro that Nintendo is gonna release in the Holiday season of 2021/beginning of 2022 is actualy the Switch sucessor?if Nintendo release the rumored Switch Pro in 2022 and is actualy the Switch sucessor, i would have enough time for Nintendo to release the Switch sucessor, since Shuntaro Furukawa have said Switch have reached the halfpoint of it lifecycle, Nintendo don't usually suport they consoles for a long time, with the excepcions of the portable consoles.

i like HD Rumble.

@StuTwo well i expect Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild 2 to be the Holiday title of Switch for 2021 and to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the franchise, Bayonetta 3 have to release in 2021, probably in octobre next to Halloween, Metroid Prime 4 i have give up the possibities of the game be only a Switch game, probably Metroid Prime 4 is gonna release in the penumate or final year of Switch or be a cross-gen game like Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild and Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess.

i like HD Rumble.

@Giancarlothomaz The Switch is a portable console, what Furukawa actually said was that the Switch would have a longer than normal life cycle (possibly just virtue-signalling, but the massive install base the Switch has is rare and won't be replicated easily). Considering that the Switch just came out, there's really no need for a new system any time soon.

From the quote, I figured Switch replacement would come around 2023/2024 but all the significant handheld revisions have had exclusive games (GBC, DSi, New 3DS) so I'd guess the rumoured 2021 Switch revision will also have exclusive games.

@Giancarlothomaz That would only make sense if Bowser's Fury was comparable to New Super Luigi U in scope. Which... would be really good if true.

A whole new game?

I somehow doubt that's what we're getting. I bet it's just an extra world that's really hard. I don't think they feel the need to add any more than that. This is pretty much still a current gen game, that millions of people haven't played. It'd sell just fine if they'd added nothing!

@Dezzy New Super Luigi U certainly wasn't a whole game. It was about half the length of NSMB U (since well, each level was about half the length), and reused a significant amount of assets, and introduced very few new mechanics.

Reminds me I still need need to play thru super luigi u on switch.

@link3710

Lol that whole series is just "reusing assets" though to be fair.

link3710

@Dezzy I mean, yes, to a degree lol.

And while I know you're joking, amazingly enough, there's far less asset reuse between the games than you'd think. NSMB, NSMB Wii, and NSMB U share almost no assets. Only NSMB 2 reused assets from NSMB Wii, since it was admittedly a budget title from the B team experimenting. And just generally the one game in that subseries that truly deserves the lazy moniker.

Heard lots of good things about 3D World, so I've pre-ordered that along with 3D All-Stars for my Switch ....

@Dezzy I think if Mario Odyssey 2 was 2021 they would've teased it in the 35th anniversary Direct as a "here's an actual new Mario game coming to Switch" to offset the "all we have is ports" tone of the Direct we actually got.

If they had announced Odyssey 2 and then they'd hit issues (like MP4) and it was delayed, what do you think the reaction would have been?

Personally if the game is in development i think they should have ended the mini with the announcement, even if it was just a logo, but i suspect they regret announcing MP4 with what has happened since.
