Only bought two games for my Switch this year — Paper Mario and Animal Crossing ... 🏝

Nintendo has zero games scheduled for release in November 2020

The attach rate on this system is huge. If you are just now buying a Switch, you're buying Mario, Zelda, Mario Kart, Splatoon, Pokemon, Animal Crossing, etc. Hell, now you're probably buying a couple Mario games. Nintendo doesn't require new software this Christmas to sell a ton of software and a ton of hardware. They have no real competition at this moment for being top dog. Obviously as others have pointed out there's still time for them to announce a November title, but they don't really need to. They're probably better of positioning a big release opposite the Switch Pro in 2021.
I think with the Pandemic, we aren't going to see an surge of people shopping during November. There's a lot of uncertainty going on in the US. The idea of an major retailer having Black Friday sales seems irresponsible.
Yeah I agree– I only bought Animal Crossing from Nintendo. Luckily the Switch has been my go-to indie machine so there's still a lot of stuff to play, but damn the remasters, rereleases and stuff.
Nintendo's new offerings feel super dry this year.
If Black Friday is irresponsible in the US I assume then it will be bigger than ever.
I think is overblown. They're going to be fine. People don't have money right now and early console adopters will not be swayed either way.
we have
Mario 3D All Stars 9/18
Mario Kart Live 10/16
Mario Battle Royale (October?)
Pikmin 3 10/31
And presumably Pokémon sword DLC at some point
they do not need a November game and with so many games coming out then and next gen it would be a bad idea to launch then. You don't want your $100 Mario Kart game competing the same week with$400+ consoles
We got two more months for them to drop at least one or two "Specific Directs" for game announcements along with their Partner Showcase. Something will get filled up for November, even if it's a single game.
It's a negative to avoid releasing titles during launch the launch month of two consoles? I thought it was brilliant to release earlier than November, and they can always give liek a $10 discount to their titles to push them. Seems like a win-win for them.
they might not need a November/december game, but I'm pretty sure they'll have one (or two).
AAA or not, I don't think it's fair to dismiss titles like Gears Tactics, Grounded, or Ori. It's like when people say Nintendo games like Clubhouse Games don't count because "reasons".
I've only bought Paper Mario so far and don't foresee myself buying anything else. Good thing I got other systems to pick up the slack
The unhealthy obsession of forums over specifically Nintendo releasing a game on a Nintendo plattform, tells me too many of you grew up during the N64/NGC era were we had nothing but Nintendo on a Nintendo plattform.
I fully expect it to be Pokémon Sword's final dlc if that hasn't released
I guess I'm new to this but.....what exactly is the concern here? Do they have to release a game in November? Is this new for them? Is it critical to release it in that month specifically?
They're currently releasing the Tell Me Why episodes too, and Wasteland 3 if you want to count that.
This is probably the first year Microsoft has had a decent first party slate.
Wait, are you expecting it to massively outsell Odyssey like that and post insane numbers?
Why?
Nintendo typically releases their big holiday game in November or December. There have been a few exceptions, like Odyssey releasing late October. But this has been the rule since SNES pretty much.
Also not really have a new game scheduled is the bigger issue. I'm expecting a November game announcement though.
...and Odyssey only released in October because Pokémon Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon was releasing in November.
They're not going to release their last game for the year on October 30.
If Nintendo does not release a new game in November. We will never achieve world peace.
Plus they also had Xenoblade for December (not a huge game but still).
They definitely have something else coming this year.
So yeah.
I don't know why people thought they revealed their whole lineup
