If they were planning to release prime trilogy to bridge the gap to mp4, it could be years before prime trilogy releases. Or they could release it as normal.
They could also release Prime Trilogy in separate games (15€ each).
Also, if Pokemon gets delayed into 2020, that would be bad. I kinda hope it does, however, I want it to be best Pokemon game to date. But then Nintendo needs some seriously heavy hitters this year to keep momentum going. Animal Crossing is good, but not enough.
Well, if you think about it, even if Pokemon is finally pushed to next year (which could make it a revolutionary game, so I'm up to that), 2019 could still be a pretty good year. We still need to know other games Nintendo is working on (let's see those Directs coming), but it would be nice to see a year that looks like this:
Before Summer: Yoshi, Daemon X Machina, Fire Emblem and Zeldas HD.
Summer: Luigi's Mansion 3, Metroid Prime Trilogy HD.
After Summer: Animal Crossing, Bayonetta 3, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3, Super Mario 3D World Deluxe.
Plus Mortal Kombat 11, Final Fantsys, Doom Eternal, Crash Team Racing, hopefully Dragon Quest XI, shin Megami Tensei V and Yokai Watch 4 (instead of Pokemon), etc.
My son is going to give me his Switch if Pikmin 4 isn't announced soon. I hope he decides to give it to me before next Friday. That's when I buy mine. I can understand the frustration of mentioning a game is "almost done" 2 years ago then not talking about it...ever again. So for the sake of him keeping his Switch, I hope the game announced or an update is given. I myself would like them to announce some surprises, like Shenmue. Or maybe, "hey, here's Skies of Arcadia!.. The big one for right now is Animal Crossing....
@Joe-b I believe that Pikmin development may have been restarted a couple of years ago. I think they were planning to bring it to the Wii U, but had to rework it for Switch since the Wii U wasn’t getting many sales at that point. My guess is that it’s coming late 2019 or early to mid 2020.

@Whitewatermoose Do you have any reasoning to why you think Luigi’s Mansion 3 isn’t coming out this year? I’ve seen many people say this and it seems pretty baseless.
Also, Pokémon has to come out this year or a whole lot of people will be disappointed.

I'm pretty sure Nintendo would choose for Town development to halt/slow if there was any chance of Pokemon being delayed kind of like how Mario Odyssey delayed Pikmin 4.
@Whitewatermoose While it does seem odd, Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon was not released in the spring. The first Luigi’s Mansion only released in the fall because it was a launch title. So just because it’s unlikely to release it before late summer or early autumn, it’s entirely possible.
I would also assume that MUA 3 would be a late spring or early summer title, since that would coincide with the release of Avengers: Endgame.

@Whitewatermoose I have to disagree that it would be a good year if that's all that happened, unless the 3rd party games had crossplay and cross-progression where applicable. Nintendo Switch Online has buried online games apart from a select few 1st party games (MK8 Deluxe, Splatoon 2, Mario Tennis Aces, Smash Ultimate), free to play games and those with crossplay.
I don't think Nintendo would be that foolish to rely so heavily on 3rd parties when they can just release Wii U ports to fill in the gaps between new 1st party games.
Well I am divided: on one hand I want the next Pokemon game to be exceptionally good, the very best, on the other hand I need a new Pokémon game so badly. Let's go was good and all but it's not a mainline game.
I would love a new mystery dungeon though... If it was as good as the first 3 titles. Also something like pokemon ranger would be better than nothing... The last chapter was awesome.
I hope so much that nintendo releases wind waker hd for switch... It seems such a fantastic game to me... I don't want to waste the experience playing it on an emulator.
Also... What were retro studios working on during the last years (I mean before they were asked to help with MP4)?
Do you guys think dlc kingdoms for odyssey are likely to release this year (if at all)?
