I mean the closest window I can think of recently for a new major game is 3 months from reveal to launch for samus returns.I think I'd actually be frustrated with Nintendo if it's that early for being so damn stupid with their marketing windows.
No chance of that. The very latest would be like april or may 2020, if there are problems.
Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle launched 2 months after it was announced at E3 2017. Not a first party title, but it's a Mario game. And there were 4 months between the NSMBU announcement and the release. Not sure if we have any sales data on that one though.I mean the closest window I can think of recently for a new major game is 3 months from reveal to launch for samus returns.
What would it be placeholding? That date doesn't correspond to a Q1/Q2 start or any seasonal solstice of any kind. As a poster mentioned before, it does kick of Golden Week in Japan though.
