I doubt they're stockpiling games for switch's successor already since it's probably still several years away with an updated switch coming in the next year or two. Besides, they've learned plenty of lessons from the wii u and probably know how to prevent a repeat of it without a massive safety stash of should-have-been switch games. You never know with Nintendo though.
My guess is this year was supposed to be really big but the virus messed with the schedule big time. I think 3D world deluxe, the Mario remaster collection, and a new 2D Metroid were all supposed to release this year, but at this point we'll only get one or two of them.
Yeah the suggestion that they are delaying games for the Switch so they have games for the Switch 2 doesn't work for me since they Switch 2 is going to have ports of Switch games anyway.
@jump Switch has so many ports because the library started from scratch (i.e. no backwards compatibility), if Switch played Wii U games via backwards compatibility I think at most we would've gotten MK8 Deluxe for Wii U ports (MK8 is pretty much Nintendo's GTAV).
Look, it’s obvious. Nintendo is too busy working on the Switch Series XY, and its launch games God of War 2, Halo Galaxy and John Madden’s NHL Breakfast, to handle anything other than Wii U ports for the Switch, which has only got another measly four years left in its cycle before the hardware gets phased out.
Or nobody really knows anything. I enjoy the speculation as much as anyone, but it’s foolish to say this or that is being held back when we just don’t know. Hope we get a Direct soon! Need a fresh bag of hype...
@1UP_MARIO I know, that was my point. Just as there were no wii games ported to Wii U with it’s backwards compatibility (except Twilight Princess as @jump pointed out) there will likely be no switch games ported to its successor if it has backwards compatibility with the OG switch. Fair point about Inside Story coming out at the end of 3ds’ already prolonged life though. I’d be curious to see how games like that sell while the console is still healthy. Anyone know how well Twilight Princess sold on Wii U?
From the looks of it they haven't had a full direct on a Friday in a long time, if ever. That makes sense, as Friday is usually when you release bad or embarrassing news. So anything that gives the 28th is highly suspect.

LOL
I don't even care with any upcoming Zelda games on Switch.
Whatever Nintendo brings, i want something surprising yet still cartoonish but not typical mainstream Nintendo games.
Don't care with Zelda, don't care with Smash Bros, don't care with Pikmin, don't care with Donkey Kong, don't care with F-Zero, etc.
I need more updates for ACNH.
I have some vacant spots for new update stuffs to be placed.
@Slowdive
Ugh, I sure hope not.
We've got enough 3rd party characters in Smash and I don't care for any of them except the truly iconic ones like Sonic, Pac Man and Mega Man. But even then I'd gladly exchange them for more first party representatives.
Just like July 20th, August 28th for the next Nintendo event makes sense because there's a big gaming event on the Thursday of that week. This time it's Gamescom Opening Night Live starting at 7pm UK time on August 27th.
That said, just like the July 20th rumours only got the date right (content was completely off) I think the same will happen with August 28th. People get hyped for the potential of big Nintendo news based off rumours and then it ends up being a 10 minute partner showcase where No More Heroes announcements are the equivalent of last partner showcase's SMT announcements.
I still think we'll only get a Mario Direct this year.
But if the Prince of Persia and Tony Hawk stories are true, you'd expect them to be announced in a general direct wouldn't you?
