GameStop's Internal Database Lists Multiple New SKUs For Nintendo Switch

I hope it will lead to something, im needing some games to look forward to.

3D World 🤞🤞🤞
Easily one of my favourite 3D Mario's and a gem on Wii U, which deserves a bigger audience.

All these online rumours about it has me totally hyped.

Woop woop woop

Weren’t there an army of GameStop SKU’s “leaked” a month ago that were then suddenly retracted? Likelihood of this being another version of that?

I just want Super Mario All-Stars 2 with Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine and Super Mario Galaxy 1 & 2 ☺️.

Hopefully news on the Mario Remasters as well as other games like Pikmin 3.

@geordie @Slowdive You can count on it. Nintendo won't miss the chance to release another overpriced Wii U port and yes, the game is great, I have it on Wii U. Super Mario 3D World Deluxe coming in 2020. Piece of cake.

Didn't Gamexplain report a convincing rumour for a direct on the 20th?

I hope that it's true and some good surprises.
Also, hopefully there will be more than 4 games only.

Last holiday season had (a disappointing) Mario Party, the year before that Smash Bros. Ultimate, the Switch's inaugural year Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. If Nintendo follows the pattern of one major first-party multiplayer game for holiday 2020, I suspect this year is when we'll see Mario Kart 9/Nintendo Kart.

Seriously??? Commandos 2 HD remaster for the switch! Why didnt i hear anything about that! I want that game!

@AtlanteanMan Right but this year is Super Mario's 35th anniversary so, hopefully...

Game rumors can perk up my interest, but these reports of databases adding empty lines does almost the opposite. The only way this would even be remotely interesting is if someone said no more video games were being made and we believed it, but then a computer in game stop defies everything we know with some...available SKUs......

@NinChocolate I agree.

@BlueOcean Haha, yes that would suit me fine... Especially Galaxy 1 & 2 in HD for Christmas please 😂

COVID-19 may be part of the reason Nintendo has been so silent regarding upcoming releases in 2020, but I suspect it is also because they want to see Sony and Microsoft's hands as they prepare to launch new consoles before revealing their own. In any case, with lengthy delays (ACNH) and gaps between first party releases dating back to last year are concerning despite the Switch's continued high sales figures. The Switch needs a full Direct that blows everyone's socks off, and as we are already in the back half of the year, it needs it ASAP.

@NinChocolate Wouldn't this fuel those rumors though?

GameStop doesn’t hold relevance anymore; the sooner the company collapses, the better.

@BANJO Yep, who can resist classic 3D Mario games 😁?

Its zelda ocerina of time/majoras mask double pack remake obviously. Along with wind waker hd port and twilight princess hd port and skyward sword remake... i mean derr its so obvious.... 😅

@KnightsTemplar Once upon a time, Ubisoft was known as Ubiport... Nintenport?

I love a good port, just saying...

@Entrr_username sure, absolutely it could fuel the rumors...in the same exciting way that someone reporting that GameStop has a couple square feet of free room in the back, or that Pop figures hadn’t completely taken over the store and there’s still just enough room for new game boxes on the shelf

@NinChocolate Yeah I have no clue what you're going on about. Not even sure why you're bringing up those examples as if they're the exact same as this

Gamestop is the worst. I feel bad for the store employees but I can't wait until it goes under.

So many placeholder rumors that replace the previous placeholder rumors.

But come on fellas, it's a given that Nintendo have games that are unannounced that will release later this year, just be patient.

@NinChocolate,

Totally agree with you, the endless placeholder rumors are just getting old now, and more times than not are no indication of new games coming, it seems to be pure guesswork by the retailer than anything else.

if we get Mario 64 I do hope it's a full HD remake in the Odyssey engine, that would be amazing

@AtlanteanMan correctly spoken. however, my guess is that BOTW 2 will hit the shelves before MK 9. At least it's like the hit game Nintendo may put out for the holiday season. Bayonetta, metroid e.t.c don't have any reveal that is strong to go by with, unless they will do another shadow dropping like paper mario origami king🤔.

@geordie You and me both

@johnvboy "endless placeholder rumors"
The last one of these was back in January. And Gamestop's reputation may be a dumpster fire but I doubt these placeholders are "pure guesswork". I'm certain they're capable of not making it public as well.

@Entrr_username,

There were ones from Amazon France as well as others, normally around E3 time, I very much doubt these retailers have any concrete information about upcoming Nintendo games, they are just preparing their websites for when information is finally released.

@geordie
I would love for 3D world to appear on the switch!

@johnvboy Seems odd to do it now when a direct is supposedly rumored but ok.

@Entrr_username,

In all fairness when in the last ten months or so was a Nintendo direct not rumored.

I think Nintendo held back allot to counter the ps5 an xbox X.

And suddenly a big direct will appear.

More smash character reveals, botw 2, mario remakes, metroid 4 trailer, and i hope even more reveals soon.

Wishlist

1. F-Zero
2. Breath of the Wold 2
3. 2D Metroid
4. Pilot wings

More realistic:

1. Super Mario HD collection
2. Super Mario 3D World
3. Pikmin 3
4. More bloody pokemon

Nintendo need to do something very soon - the games and reveals so far have been Wii U days stuff. They seem to be taking their eye off the ball a bit too much right now

@DoktorTotenKopf yay. Here’s hoping for lots of unemployed games fans. Can’t wait.

What a thing to hope for

@AtlanteanMan There wasn’t a Mario Party last year. There was a Mario + Sonic. Plus Luigi’s Mansion 3

@johnvboy Few months ago with the mini direct?

Hopefully these rumors prove out and a direct really is on the way. Logically, unless covid has torpedoed development of all their year-end releases, they need to start marketing now!

I for one have been suffering from Direct withdrawals for a while - that Bakugan reveal yesterday felt so anticlimactic to me, I shut the stream off in annoyance! Not that I really need more games, but anything Nintendo presents now is magnified by this long vacuum.

I’m hoping some of those SKU’s are for HD remasters of Mario Galaxy games. They’ll probably announce a Western release of P5 Scramble, though I’d prefer a port of plain ol P5. A port of Nier Automata would be lovely, however unlikely. But please throw us a bone on Metroid Prime 4 and BOTW2!

probably those Mario remasters

Pikmin 4 and more pikmin 4

Maybe this is the only way for Gamestop to stay relevant... leaking meaningless SKUs.

@Entrr_username,

That was leaked, a guy stated there would be two directs that month,looks like the main one got delayed.

If one of those were Rare Replay, that’d be great

This sounds nice if its true. I hope Nintendo is taking the Holiday seriously and tries to not give us more Remastered games; please be relevant and progressive. Also, please show love and not have us rely on ports of cool new games that will come to your Switch in 2-3 years.

@BlueOcean

No Banjo Kazooie on the Switch (outside of being a terrible Smash Bros character).
I drink your salty tears. So tasty.
"These salty tears are making me thirsty"

@the8thark How old are you? 5?

Just $59.99? Must be 15 year old games then

@Entrr_username I’m not denying any connection between these empty lines of data entry and the forthcoming Nintendo first party games of our dreams. But is this the state of rumors these days? Give me a fake Rayman image, a doctored retail flyer, anything more than data entry with zero data to get excited about!!

Guarantee they are all just ports of old games

Donkey Kong Country please. Or Me (Diddy Kong) Racing 2.

@BlueOcean you’re comment made me actually lol. Kudos!

PS. I’m guessing he’s 6 😂

Could this perhaps be Ubisoft announcements for the Ubisoft Forward event tomorrow?

@datamonkey Thanks! ☺️

I sense bitter disappointment on the horizon.

They're all Bakugan.

All I need is Mario 64, Sunshine, both Galaxy games and 3D World.

And if you want to make me happy, I would not complain about a new Donkey Kong Country game, AND confirmation for Crash 4.

Is not that difficult to make this fan happy.

@the8thark Banjo Kazooie is Microsoft not Nintendo

Maybe this has to do with some of the EA games coming to the switch next year.

Wave Race....one can dream, right?

Give us a GD direct, Nintendo.

@JHDK Don't feel too bad for them. I went in my local for the first time in AGES to see what the damage was.

The store was empty of people. The walls were covered in generic labeled used cases, the new walls were more bare than I'd ever seen.

I got one new release, SpongeBob for Switch, and a used 3DS Amiibo puck thing for my son. My "new game" was an opened. The associate used one of those horrendous clear stickers to bind the case closed (creating more sticky work for me as a collector teaching his child how to take care of things).

When I was rung up and was putting my card in the terminal, there was a $3 1 year protection plan for the Amiibo puck already sitting on my transaction. I yanked my card away and said very bluntly, " You can take that protection plan off my transaction, and I'll be filling out your survey."

Stop GameStop.

Can't wait. Hope there will be a direct this month. Nintendo needs to show us some new games

All I want is Windwaker HD. That's about it.

I really hope it’s the Mario games.

@CTmatic Wave Race was my first and one of my favourite Gamecube games, it's about time it comes back.

I know we shouldn't get our hopes up but this will help lots of people feel excited in a year that hasn't been great! #bringiton #papermario

Wave Race 64 was my first N64 game. 🤟🏻

To this day the sequel on GameCube is still in my opinion the best jet ski game ever made. The ones that came out on PS2/Xbox were never as good.

Can you imagine how amazing the water physics would be if Nintendo made a new one, considering how great they already were over 15yrs ago? @BlueOcean

SKU means Stock Keeping Unit. It's always a good idea to explain abbreviations when writing an article.

@NinChocolate I know it’s ridiculous to get excited over placeholders. But in these times, even the confirmation of more games for the Switch is very needed

Oh my god, my favorite game “Available SKU,” finally seems to be getting a release date! Been a big fan of the series since the first game.

@Dringo don’t care. They can get better employment elsewhere. GameStop is a cancerous organization and should be dissolved.

@the8thark you’re a very rude, arrogant sort. How do you even live with yourself?

Since it's four of them, it could be 64, Sunshine, Galaxy and 3D World.

Isn't Kingdom Hearts Melody of Memory supposed to be released on switch this year?

@CTmatic I would really love that!

@EdwardElric Well, assuming these are real games, they are probably gonna be tied in with the heavily rumoured direct, and if all they have in the way of first party is old remasters they are in trouble. Also charging 60 a pop for some of these games probably isn't going to fly. Its more likely that 64, sunshine, galaxy 1, and galaxy 2 are all in one collection, and the other games might be some other older titles like 3d world, prime trilogy, Pikmin 3, and hopefully a new game as well (Botw 2 possibly?)

They’re seriously going to have to show something soon. Once Paper Mario drops, it’s looking pretty barren.

Considering that both Sony and MS have shown their hand, I’m starting to wonder why Nintendo has let so much time lapse without any sort of announcement.

The first party Nintendo games we've had this year from Nintendo are Animal Crossing NH, Clubhouse 51 Games, Xenoblade DE and Tokyo Mirage Sessions DE.

And this month we get Paper Mario, so for a "slow year" as everyone loves to say, we still have gotten 5 first party Nintendo games in the first 7 months of the year, plus some of the best third party support Nintendo has had since the Super Nintendo, and a still robust release of indie titles.

I still have plenty of games to keep me busy.

is it okay to get excited ? or is this another pokemon unite

@DoktorTotenKopf Don’t care? At the start of a global recession? Then you’re not a very nice person are you?

When are all of those Mario games coming to the Switch? It was announced months ago.

@Dringo GameStop has been fleecing its customers and giving its employees the shaft for years. It’s high time it gets the shaft itself.

@Slowdive You and me both, I still have corruption but I no longer own the means to enjoy it. I also hope if it's possible, they can throw metroid fusion in there as well. I'd also take a remaster or better yet a remake.

@kingbk Four games released in the first half of the year but only Animal Crossing New Horizons is a new game and Clubhouse Games is a mini games collection. The other two are ports that I and other people have played on Wii, New 3DS and Wii U and Nintendo didn't need to develop them. Also, Tokyo Mirage Sessions is not first-party, it's a Wii U exclusive developed by Atlus.

Hopefully one is a racing game that isn’t MarioKart. Ninty has such a vast catalogue of dormant great racing ips. I’m going to bang the WaveRace F-Zero Excite(something) 1080 DKR drum. And I’m banging it really hard!!

I would hope that it's a Nintendo Direct, but I honestly think it's going to be for third-party titles no one has ever heard of, much less wanted to play.

Part of me can't help but wonder every time GameStop puts out lists like these, it's the same effect as when people take any remote reference to the number three and think Half-Life 3 or a Western release of Mother 3 is confirmed.

@Adrevenue Yeah I was just theorizing. That makes more sense. I'm rooting for BOTW 2!

@Slowdive there a possibility that botw 2 could release this holiday season.

Pushmo and Mario 3D World/Land combo and I can shelve my Wii U!

@DoktorTotenKopf So would you personally approach each GameStop employee to their face and tell them, “I don’t care that you may soon lose your job?” If you aren’t willing to do that, don’t post such disrespectful comments on a chat board, either. I get that you don’t like GameStop; if that’s the case, simply buy elsewhere. Just remember that most of the people there are trying to pay their bills, next time you want to write a mean comment on the internet.

@Amrulez Were the Mario games officially announced, or rumored? I thought they were rumored because it’s Mario’s 35th anniversary or whatever number they are on.

@EdwardElric I’m assuming you really enjoyed Breath of the Wild, so I’ll ask: how would you feel if they made the next game like The Elder Scrolls, where it’s set in an entirely different continent other than Hyrule? I never played BOTW, didn’t look appealing to me, but I’m just curious what your thoughts would be.

@TG16_IS_BAE That would be really interesting. Maybe then they could add some new races that weren't in the first one and there could be more unique areas.

@TG16_IS_BAE you sticking up for a terrible company and their terrible abuses speaks volumes of your own terrible alliances and adherences. Bug off.

Really hoping they announce Metroid Prime Trilogy and that it's coming out this year!

@DoktorTotenKopf I actually depend on Game Stop in my area for physical games because they have more of a variety of games than Walmart. We don’t have any other options in my area but a small Walmart with a very sad electronics section that seems to favor Microsoft with a measly section dedicated to Sony and Nintendo. So for me personally if we didn’t have a Game Stop in my area I would not be able to get any variety of Nintendo games outside of clearanced 3DS games and terrible Paw Patrol on the Switch from Walmart. With Game Stop at least I can get game merchandise since Walmart is void of merchandise. On the plus side I found a copy of Yo Kai Watch 3 at the Walmart clearance section for $5. I have wanted to play it since last year but couldn’t find a physical copy. Now I found one.

@TG16_IS_BAE I like Game Stop. The location in my area is nice as can be. I don’t get why people dislike them so much. But then again I live in a small town and people are nicer around here. I never got scammed on Pokémon code cards or forced to preorder like I have heard other people say. I was given extra Pokémon cards back in 2017 for the Ash’s Pikachu promo’s despite the fact that I didn’t make a big purchase in the first place. They were even nice enough to give me extra Zeraora codes back in 2018 after the event since the codes don’t expire right away. I think that rudeness depends upon location. I would rather use Game Stop than my local Walmart.

Fire up that July Direct!

@RabidPikachu I don’t give a toss.

I hope one of them's Bravely Default 2 so I can finally try the demo without having to wait forever if I end up liking it a lot (which I probably will, given how much I liked Octopath.)

@RabidPikachu You only rely on GS because good stores aren’t there....bc GS were anticompetitive and put them out of business by having their new store run negative until the old better store died. If there still was like a Play & Trade or something there, no one would go to your GS.

I'm ready for Mario Sunshine again.

@Rpg-lover you do realize that the people who make Metroid are hiring people from big studios right? There may not be a reveal but it's being worked on.

@TrueDespair666 okay you're right, also do you realize that the project was restarted afresh? And do you know what that means? Hiring more hands for development doesn't mean it's almost ready, development takes time and i don't see the developers rushing this one. Cause if they do rush and release something that isn't okay with the series then the restart is all for nothing. So i am still correct when i said nothing is out for the development of those series for the public to see.

@DoktorTotenKopf But the only ones who lose out is the industry and the employees. It’s not like there’s another retailer to take its place. When it’s gone. Physical games retail becomes just Amazon

@Dringo doesn’t matter. GameStop can rot in hell.

@RabidPikachu get your purchases online like any other normal person.

@themightyant Because at this pace and after resetting development Metroid Prime 4 is years away I expect Metroid Prime Trilogy to be ported to Switch and, hopefully, the Mario remasters reports are true.

@DoktorTotenKopf It matters to the games industry. Which makes the games you like.

@RabidPikachu Same here! They are really great people!

@DoktorTotenKopf You’re blind to your own folly, which is just making it that much more entertaining. So by speaking up for the workers, I’m now a bad person? You’re the one that is spewing vitriol and hoping people see unemployment. I’d rather defend GameStop than condemn a bunch of strangers to unemployment. Times are hard right now, or are you too heartless to see that these people NEED their jobs at GameStop?

@EdwardElric That’s a cool idea, it would be great to see if they branched out to other races!

I just remembered, wasn't Animal Crossing scheduled for release in 2019 and then delayed? Was Clubhouse Games Nintendo's only new game for the first half of 2020?

@TG16_IS_BAE

They weren't officially announced but a lot of the top Nintendo gaming sites reported it...Maybe it won't happen but I am hopeful it will. In the reports they also mention the Paper Mario game that hadn't been announced and that has came true.

@the8thark You do know salt isn’t good for worms, right?

@DoktorTotenKopf

If people call others arrogant for sharing facts, well that's on them, not me. Everyone is entitled to their own feelings on the facts.

@Antraxx777
Correct and hopefully the worm would become part of the food chain, thus supporting the circle of life.

@YoshiTails Any wishlist with F-Zero gets an upvote from me! GX is the best racing game everrrrr

GBA and Gamecube support in Nintendo Online Service?

@AstroTheGamosian to be fair Half Life 3 is a possibilty since Valve said that they're going to work on more installments after Half Life Alyx

@CTmatic Do you think NCL would react favourably to picketing for Wave Race (... and maybe F-Zero) outside the Kyoto HQ?

No other fanbases allowed. We've got waiting seniority over them all!

Here hope it is Shin Megami Tensei V or RF5. ( wishful thinking )

@Amrulez I hope the rumors are true!

@DoktorTotenKopf Pretty sure that's you.

I'm predicting it's a new MOLE MANIA!

(as I always do)

@RiasGremory calling others names won’t help you or your opinion, kiddo. Grow up.

@Plexagon I’m fine- you’re just annoyed that someone has an opinion that differs from yours.

@MrGawain your profile pic took “take the frown upside down” to a whole new level! 😂

there is a bunch of nintendo switch games on gamestop that release in 12/31/2020 and none of them look that great or exciting really...

@Apportal

It was supposed to be eyes and an eyebrow when I did it.

Been too lazy to change it to something else.

At the Nintendo Direct next Monday I hope they will announce anything or say some info about the next Nintendo Switch 2 System

Reset Era is worse than 4chan, I'm not taking any of this seriously.

@BlueOcean XCDE is a remake, not a port. So it's an entire new first party game, a first party minigame collection, a second party remake and a third party port. Still not really a strong line-up.
