Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

@Dezzy I hate the way Nintendo has started this year,wedon't know much about their plans for 2020.

@gcunit The ps4 controller has short battery life. I honestly don't know how Nintendo makes the Joycons last so long.

Well with what are presumably the last 1st party releases of Q1 announced, I think we can be certain that it's booked at least:
1st Party
Jan: TMS#FE + Smash - Byleth
Feb: FE:TH Story DLC
March: PMD:Rescue DX + Animal Crossing New Horizons
3rd Party
Jan: Kentucky Route Zero + Atlier Dusk Trilogy + Puzzle & Dragons Gold + Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath
Feb: Darksiders Genesis + Dark Crystal + DMC 3 + Orochi 4 Ultimate + Samurai Shodown + Snack World + Mega Man X/ZX + Metro Redux + Summer in Mara + More
March: La Mulana 1+2 + Langrisser 1+2 + Doom 64 + My Hero: One's Justice 2

Hopefully, we won't be seeing people complain about there being nothing to play this year given the wide variety of genres covered. We do still only know a total of like, 2 even slightly major releases in Q2 though (Minecraft Dungeons and Trials of Mana), so I'm curious if we'll see a massive lull then in things to play or not.

EDIT: Added Metro per JaxonH

I know metro redux was confirmed but it looks like it's up for prepurchase on the u.s. eshop. Same with dmc3. Might go physical on MR though.

@link3710
Metro Redux Feb 28th.

@JaxonH Thanks, hadn't realized it already had a date. February will be packed this year.

I know I'm getting Dark Crystal + Summer in Mara + Darksiders Genesis... the rest will probably have to wait.

With the current line up we know of thus far, here's my purchases for Q1..
January- nothing for me outside of some Wii u vc games
February- Dmc3, megman zx collection, metro redux
March- doom 64 on the fence about Pokemon mystery dungeon

Please guys, drop a reply to the Metro Redux tweet and ask for gyro aiming. The fact they're responding about being on cart but not the ones about gyro indicates to me it's not included. Especially being Deep Silver.

Take 30 seconds. Even a one-word reply that says "gyro" would be enough. Ratio the heck out of their replies to let them know we want gyro!!!

tropico 6 have been seen on brazil list too, so two confirmation for the rumor

Who is this we you're talking about?

So... What 2020 Nintendo games do we know about. Animal Crossing in March. That's all, right?

@link3710 - Don't forget Snack World in February. That's a 3DS port/Switch console exclusive.

@JaxonH Seems like they're telling people the game has gyro controls.

Snack World in February, Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Remake in March.

And some other exclusive games with no solid release dates.

Deadly Premonition 2
Xenoblade Chronicles DE
No More Heroes III
Bayonetta 3
Shin Megami Tensei V
Brigandine
Rune Factory 5

@Magician I meant Nintendo's own games. Animal Crossing (and I guess the ports of Xenoblade and PMD), but that's it right? We usually get 5-6 of them I feel like. So that means there's still a lot to come.

@Octane It's Nintendo. We'll be waiting for half a year before we find out about some of their biggest 2020 releases.

@Magician I mentioned it in my list already actually. Snack World I may pick up during the summer?

@Octane 2017 had 23 Nintendo published titles across all platforms, 2018 had 27, 2019 had 18. I'd say somewhere in the 20s has been the average. So far this year we have 3 with release dates (TMS#FE, PMD, AC:NH), and 2 without (BD2/XC:DE), so we'll probably see another 16 over the course of the year. That includes stuff like Stretchers or Boxboy and new mobile games as well, plus Labor, fitness, and the one title a year they usually publish for Square Enix but... that still leaves room for plenty of games.

@Ralizah Yeah, but isn't it weird that we know nothing except for AC? I guess maybe Zelda, which I still think is coming this year, but that hasn't been confirmed yet.

@Ralizah
What?!!!

Celebrate!!!

They actually replied to my tweet just now confirming. Run that.

Its so good to see these companies truly are making gyro standard now. There's such high demand for it on Switch. I suspect this will ultimately bleed over to other platforms as devs start implementing elsewhere, having "seen the light" from their Switch ports.

@Octane Not really. If you recall, at the start of 2018 we knew almost nothing about the big releases that year either. It's just how Nintendo is.
