Topic: Next Nintendo Direct?

I'm not holding my breath, but how crazy would it be if we got a Super Mario Odyssey 2 or something along those lines as our big holiday game?

@Don Almost certainly. That's peak holiday season. Nintendo WILL have some sort of holiday release. I was thinking it'd be this 3D All-Stars thing, but I guess not.

Now that's a game I would love to see get ported to the Switch

@damien33ad I personally want an Odyssey 2 or a Galaxy 3.

RCT3 Switch version has been leaked on Nintendo's servers, in a similar fashion to past Nintendo Direct shadow drops:

@Ralizah
That would be great. I hope it’s a title from a main existing Nintendo franchise.

@Toy_Link I just saw that! I've been wanting some kind of building sim for a while now on Switch and this is probably going to be the best option. (Does Two Point Hospital count, though?)

@PikaPhantom
I'd say TPH is part of the same broad genre, so I'd say it kinda counts.

Personally my favorite on Switch right now is City Skyline. But I can see why it was received mediocrity by many people with all of its technical problems. But I've still had a lot of fun with it.

There's gotta be something for November. No reason to make 3D World a February release already up for pre-order on the eShop if there's nothing in the holiday release window.

@Toy_Link Well, we were all expecting another Partner Showcase this month (I think), so perhaps one this week?

...not that RCT3 is worth celebrating in a direct but.

November 2020 has no Switch games ? 🤨

Aha ! 😀
This is the Switch game for November 2020. 😁
I will get this game. 😉

@Anti-Matter this is the big one!!

I take it back. Christmas is here!

That’s a lot better than bloody RollerCoaster Tycoon Adventure but it’s still not Planet Coaster.

@jump i know but Super Mario Odyssey was considered the holiday title of Switch for 2017 by everyone and Nintendo.

Now Microsoft has revealed the Xbox Series S and it’s price at $299.99/£249.99, I wonder whether Nintendo will try and lower its price to make the Switch more attractive? I know the price of the Switch light is already lower than the Series S, but Nintendo could still lower it further.

@FragRed Im guessing Nintendo doesn't want to lower it's price... so it'll get through the holidays selling out and then in the spring drop a revision at the same price while phasing out the older model.

@FragRed

I think they might lower the base Switch price once they release a Switch Pro.

Nintendo would lower it from 300 to 295

Am I right in saying Nintendo have never sold hardware at a loss? Where I believe Sony and Microsoft may have.

If the cost of components has come down (it must have since 2017?) then maybe they will?

I'd be interested in seeing a bundle price comparison, you can get a Switch + Mario Kart for £319 at currys.co.uk, if next gen games are £65 (as reported a while back) then the Switch combo is currently only £4 more expensive, so @-Green- is right!!

^ I believe the Wii u sold at a small loss.
