Topic: Switch 2020 unannounced game release speculation.

Forgot to also include Rare N64 games making an appearance. I don't know if we will ever get a port of Rare Replay, but would be good with individual releases of Banjo, Conker, Perfect Dark, and Jet Force Gemini similar to the Turok games

@Bucky unless it the DK and gba games with it

Madden and Mario Kart 9

Although not a game persay. I think we might finally get those 64GB game carts we were promised would be out in 2019. I guess the saying is true "better late than never"

I would like to see a game like GTA 4 or 5 on the Switch or Switch Lite.

You know what would be interesting? If Microsoft brought the Fable games to Switch. Sorry if that was already said, but @CurryPowderKeg79 's username made me think of it lol

@rallydefault how about a forza motorsport. That would really make me happy. Forza motorsport and halo. Xbox can keep gears.

@sixrings
I'm not a racing guy, sorry lol

I'll take Halo though. Or Gears. Or Fable. Or... unfortunately, that's really all Microsoft has first-party/exclusive that I can remember or care about lol

Microsoft seems more and more up to playing ball with anybody these days.

I hoped the NES/Famicom game, Onyanko Town, would come to Nintendo Switch Online. I like that game.

Metro: Redux apparently just got rated for Switch in Europe. THQ/Deep Silver keep porting games over to Switch, I wouldn’t discount them porting their older titles such as the 2000s Red Faction and Saints Row games. They would make sense because titles of those games are already on the Switch. I have a feeling a late 2000s/early 2010s open world game will be announced and released, and I feel it’ll be a series we haven’t seen on the Switch yet. Also, I have hope but doubt this will happen: Mario Kart 9 will be revealed this year.

If 2020 has Animal Crossing New Horizons AND BOTW2 (and BOTW2 remains open world) I think that this will easily be the best year the Switch has ever had for me personally.

I don't know what else to expect. Hopefully if they do another Pokemon it's Diamond/Pearl remakes and not anything related to Lets Go. And of course there's my pipe dream wishes of the return of Golden Sun and the return of Paper Mario to its N64/GCN days. Those never happen, though, so I feel silly mentioning them. But hey, it's Nintendo's move now. Are we going to see surprises like those two, or we just going to see retreads of franchises that already exist on the Switch? On the third party front I'm really hoping we see the next Ace Attorney.

I think MK9 makes pert sense for a December release. They have created awareness of the brand through the mobile release, and they will need a heavy hitter to compete with Sony and MSFT.

I think Mario Kart dlc makes more sense and a sequel to diddy Kong racing.

@Harmonie

Better than 2017 will be quite hard to manage.

@Dezzy I said for me personally. Seeing as I played BOTW on the Wii U, the Switch's only 2017 game of note for me was Super Mario Odyssey. So 2020 having an Animal Crossing and a Switch excluive BOTW sequel will easily blow Switch's 2017 out of the water for me personally.

Don't get me wrong, Odyssey is a great game and I'm very happy that Nintendo took the 3D Mario platforming series back to its open-level style roots (which were what kept it unique versus other Mario platformers) but for me personally, 3D Mario platformers don't offer me anywhere near the level of fun that franchises like Animal Crossing and Zelda do. The only Mario series that can keep up for me are traditional Paper Mario games and Mario Kart games. If either of those show up this year, I'll really be in for a treat!

If BotW2 and SMT V release in the same year, that'll be my new favorite year for the system. Otherwise, it's difficult to imagine anything topping the combo of BotW/SMO/Mario+Rabbids/Xenoblade Chronicles 2 for me.

I never really cared much for older Animal Crossing games, but something about New Leaf really appealed to me, and I sunk a ton of hours into that game. I hope New Horizons can manage to be as entrancing and charming an experience as New Leaf was.

Let's see... in 2017 what really impressed me that I played was BotW, Super Mario Odyssey, Splatoon 2, Doom, XC2, Mario & Rabbids, Sonic Mania, Golf Story, and SteamWorld Dig 2

I think 2020 could top it for me based on if we get
A: BotW2
B: SMT V
C: Bayonetta 3
D: Doom Eternal
E: Xenoblade Chronicles (Haven't played it so new to me)
F: Hollow Knight: Silksong
G: One or two more things that wow me

Combo that with titles that semi-excite me like NMH III, Lego Skywalker Saga, Tales of Mana, Gods & Monsters (which might just take that F slot), DIgimon Survive, Rune Factory 4&5, Darksiders Genesis, TMS#FE, Spongebob, Sports Story, Axiom Verge 2, Summer in Mara and the fact that there's still plenty we don't know about, I think this could easily beat 2017. Obviously there's no direct competitor to Super Mario Odyssey, yet, but I think Bayo 3 would probably excite me more honestly.

DLC for Mario Kart has long since passed. We're clearly onto a new game at this stage, and I'm another hoping Mario Kart 10 is announced and released this year. Why ten? 'Cus 8 Deluxe takes the number nine spot in my eyes. even if not, I propose a change to the GP system that gives us four lots of ten tracks, in a mini tournament style where the GPs are arranged in a triangle, with you needing to gain first on the bottom two points of individual triangles to gain access to the top point.

I'm also seeing this as the year for a comeback of one or two series. Star Fox being in Starlink had to be Nintendo's way of gauging interest in Fox as a character, and so I think the big N might trust Ubisoft with making a completely new Star Fox game how they want to make it. As for the other series, I feel the might might be right for a Wars revival - but Battalion Wars instead of Advance Wars, and they'll do it with a collection of HD ports to gauge interest in the series.

@DarkRula Nintendo may count Tour as 9.

I seriously doubt that considering the arcade games don’t count as main titles, and that most people won’t even know that Deluxe was a ninth game technically. I hope they do make a new game, I don’t care what they call it. It’d be a real shame considering it’s one of their best sellers, but they already have a Mario Kart game and it’s the number one game on Switch, so why would they make a new one?
