I had this happen to me, I pre-ordered rogue squadron 2 on GameCube from toys r us. Picked it up day 1 and got home to find no disk, went back to the store but they had no additional copies. They put a hold on a copy in the next shipment, I was devastated as my brand new GameCube sat empty for 10 days
The reason I know it's not coming out this year is because dating back to the early 90s, Nintendo has shared publicly or privately and then it came out, the next gens code name anywhere from 12-24 months before officially announcing the system and then release 6-12 months later. We had project reality, dolphin, revolution, cafe, and NX. So far we don't even have a code name.
@westman98 Those can easily be cross generation games just like BOTW became. That way Nintendo said they support switch but are still moving forward. There are no signs any of those games are coming exclusive to switch. You don't find it suspicious we have seen no trailers let alone even a still of any of those games except Splatoon and that's not exactly a console pusher on the spec side of the house.
Edit project triangle as well, but it's not a first party title.
I'm starting to think this drought of major first party games is pointing to a new console/hybrid generation coming in the next 24 months. This typically happens for Nintendo when they start their transition. They always state they will have continued support of the current console but the amount and quality of first party games being released is the best indicator every generation where Nintendo's priorities are. Additionally I am very bummed they haven't added N64, GB and GBA to the NSO.
@Sissyrobyn996 hahaha LM3 definitely doesn't need the update and the fact people complained about it for this game is a joke. The inverted control was one of the biggest complaint during it's original release 18 years ago. Put your energy into something productive.
Back in the N64 era DK64 had the secret ending that was a tease to the next platform then codenamed Dolphin. That game came out in 99, which was 3 years into the N64 life's cycle and the codename was widely discussed by then, just like NX is now. The Gamecube debuted in 2000 and released in 2001. History repeats.

Re: Playtonic's Original Yooka-Laylee Game Is Getting A Follow-Up Title
We still have not heard anything about this game and with other studios struggling under tencent ownership I worry about this studios future.

The reviewer doesn't say but do you need to have played the first two to enjoy the story of this one?
Re: Poll: So, How Do You Pronounce 'Live A Live'?
I always thought it was a mistranslation from Japanese and it should be called Live A Life, since you are living multiple lives in the game
Re: Poll: What's The Best Mario Kart Game?
MK64 is hands down the best and set the precedent for all the sequels to come.

I hadn't played my DS since 2011, DQ9. I found it in my closet last month and it fired right up and still holding 3/4 charge. Amazing!
Re: Random: Ever Wondered What Halo Infinite Would Look Like On The Nintendo 64?
Star fox 64 had voice acting, games like banjo kazooie had gibberish.
