Jonneh and I are Handsome Boiz Gaming. We are brining sexy to games.
This is a pretty weak 1st party lineup, even with Bayo3/BOTW2 for the fall and the Animal Crossing Juggernaut in March.
But pad it out with 3rd party games (hopefully a few exclusives in the vein of Astral Chain/M+R).
Add the regular dose of exclusive/timed-exclusive indie games that Switch always gets.
Throw in a handful of new and exciting Smash Bros fighters and some DLC for Mario Maker...
....and I think I'm a happy camper. I can't pretend TLOU2, Cyberpunk 2077, and FF7R won't be eating up the first half of my year anyways.
Can't wait for the 47 minute analysis video of that situation
In terms of heavy hitters I don't think that'd be bad at all (AC + Bayo + Zelda). Definitely needs some smaller titles such as a Mario Golf or a weird Kirby game or Hey! Pikmin 2.
I don't know if I would buy a 3D World port. I mean, my Wii U is still hooked up.. but I totally get how it would be awesome for all the people who didn't get a Wii U.
mario titles tends to eat sales each others and there's actually no hype for another port outside of some user here. just look at maker 2 and nsmbudx. I really doubt those people are gonna buy another mario game so soon.
a 3d world port will not do LM3 numbers.
Predictions:
January: Tokyo Mirage Sessions
Febuary: Pokemon remakes or spinoffs
March: Animal Crossing
April: eShop Kirby game developed by Arzest
May: Xenoblade
June: Super Mario Odyssey 2 (to coincide with the Switch Pro)
July: Mario Golf
August: Bayonetta 3
September: Metroid V
October: Pokemon remakes or spinoffs
November: Breath of the Wild 2
December: Pikmin 3
Mario, Zelda, and Metroid all in one year baby lets go!

Maker 2 has likely already outsold the first game in half a year and NSMBU Deluxe is almost definitely going to outsell NSMBU before long
seems like Mario's doing fine
Well if you think the Nate the Hate Mask is handsome then yes.
Don't bother. they've been on this "Mario titles eats each other sales greatly conspiracy" for a long time now lol

Y'know, I was thinking about what developers have realistically had enough time to do and this might be what we're looking at in a darkest timeline "no Direct until E3" situation:
January: TMS #FE
February: (Pokémon spinoff, eshop type game)
March: Animal Crossing
April:
May: Xenoblade Chronicles DE (dated on Twitter)
June: *E3 happens*
July: Super Mario 3D World
August: Pikmin 3+
September:
October: (Paper Mario from IS)
November: Pokémon remakes
December: Bayonetta 3
BOTW2 2021
January: TMS #FE
February: (Pokémon spinoff, eshop type game)
March: Animal Crossing
April:
May: Xenoblade Chronicles DE (dated on Twitter)
June: *E3 happens*
July: Super Mario 3D World
August: Pikmin 3+
September:
October: (Paper Mario from IS)
November: Pokémon remakes
December: Bayonetta 3
BOTW2 2021
First off, LM3 will sell more than 8 million when it's all said and done. It'll probably reach 10 million.
Second off, Mario always sells. This whole Mario Maker and NSMBUD failing talk is getting old. They're selling pretty damn well.
Third, this is a 3D multiplayer Mario game. That would sell no matter what.
yea, right, but they can't do fine forever. oversaturation is a thing and I hope we don't see a new one til september at the very least.
that's my opinion though.
OP
OP
I'd assume anything with the word "Mario" on the cover
not even being a smartass, that's my line lol
I don't know if my brain can comprehend any take that considers a Paper Mario game and a hypothetical Mario Odyssey 2 as in competition for sales, though.
Oh, we're doing this?
February: Pokken 2
March: Animal Crossing
April: Super Mario 3D World Deluxe
May: Xenoblade
June: Pikmin Trilogy / Splatoon Battle Royale
July: Kirby Something
August: Paper Mario: Recycling Time
September: Punch-Out! Legends
October: Bayonetta 3 / Famicom Detective Club
November: Pokemon Large Sword & Pokemon Great Shield of Defense +5
December: Breath of The Wild 2: Rise of The Koroks

for the most part this list looks more realistic than mine, but no mario at all in 2020?
I'm feeling Star Stacker personally. Maybe even Panel de Pon Star Stacker; like Puyo Puyo Tetris.
HAL never have done a full 3D game before, I'm skeptical on that idea. If the next Kirby game is from them i think it's gonna be a traditional Kirby beat em up game.
My wish is Kirby Musou. Best way to transfer Kirby in a 3D space. Keep the core beat em mechanics but beat the crap out of Waddle Dees in a Dreamland field. All power ups should be there, expecially my all time favorite: Yoyo.
OP
OP
Ah, but Musou games have never deviated from a very specific art style without bulky cartoon characters. Unless you mean a different developer than KT?
This would be a really awful year so fingers crossed we're looking at something more promising than this
casual parents. back in the days my little brother and my mother went to buy a mario game for him and returned with a mario party ds copy,
also, you think that a new switch owner's gonna buy every mario game on the system? he has to choose between odyssey, maker 2, bros deluxe, 3d world, party, rabbits ecc. I'm sure your brain can comprehend. :P
why is nmh3 the only 3rd party game listed.
Last edited:
Well, there's a first time of everything. They did, in fact, made Musou games in very different art styles and mechanics. Pirate Warriors for instance features some platforming mechanics, DQ Heroes is more like open world style action RPG. Omega Force is a very talented studio, I'm sure they can create a Kirby game in 3D world better than anyone else.

I hope you're joking for my own sake, but this is a good point. We now have a 2020 list thread on the front page, and these lists should go there.
Every major Nintendo IP already got a game on the Switch, with the exception of Metroid which people are not confident will be finished this year. So, I think it's likely that Nintendo has some new IPs for this year (like Daemon X Machina and Astral Chain), but it's hard and not fun to predict those.
