I've been thinking about all day and I'm actually convinced myself that for holiday 2020 Nintendo will release either

The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild 2
Super Mario Oddssey 2
Pokémon Diamond & Pearl Remake

or

The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild 2
Super Mario 3D Port
Pokémon Diamond & Pearl Remake

Mario in October, Pokemon in November & Zelda in December. Sounds reasonable to me and boy do I want them also.

I don't think Nintendo's really concerned with what Sony and Microsoft are doing.

They have their own thing going on. They don't need to do anything special. Although BOTW 2 will probably be next fall unless it gets delayed.

They´ll drop the price to 250 on the regular one and 179 on the lite.
Release BOTW2 or Odyssey 2 during the holiday, either of which will sell like 10 million copies in 2 months.

Nintendo is in their own lane right now and honestly, that's probably the best thing for them for now and long term. Let Microsoft and Sony duke it out and just cruise right to the finish line.

Short answer: Breath of the Wild 2.

Long answer: Nintendo will be the only manufacturer who still offers a console with a completely unique selling point which none of the competition looks to replicate, along with what's easily going to be the lowest barrier of entry price-wise given it could very likely get a price cut some time next year, while the next-gen twins have a high chance launching at $499. Nintendo is running their own race right now, and what Sony and Microsoft are doing will likely not have that much of an impact on them.

Maybe Zelda or just shit out a Kirby game and keep Zelda for the Switch 2 with full backwards compatibility in 2021/22.

Good games from classic franchises we all love I doubt it will be anything bigger than possibly new BOTW .. I just don't see another Pokémon game within a year of sword and shield . I do foresee DLC for it though giving us new/old pokemon

Actually for me Mario Odyssey 2 isn't a given sale. I was so hungry for a sandbox Mario but Odyssey is actually a minigame collection not a focused Mario platformer. Also too many moons were simple/watered down so it made the whole game feel kinda pointless. The world wasn't cohesive with jarring art differences from one area to the next, bouncing between realistic cartoony, abstract, 2D, etc. It was a shmorgasboard of small detached ideas cobbled together with Mario as the tour guide driving you from one attraction to the next. I don't want to play a sequel to that mess. But a focused Mario sandbox title where you are actually Mario most the game I would love to play.

Rock solid games. I don't think we need another Nintendo console just yet. Might get a price drop soon though.

I've always been of the opinion that they push for BOTW 2 as their major holiday 2020 game to counter next gen consoles. There a reason why they revealed BOTW 2 last E3 if you ask me

Definitely the Switch Pro but it will be Early 2021 with BOTW2 because Nintendo.
So im thinking Nintendo will just shrug and take the L for the next holiday. Maybe we'll get Bayonetta 3 and Prime Trilogy

Switch sales isn't threatened by next gen launch, Switch's third party support is. There's a big possibility that third parties could treat Switch as "old news" like they would do to PS4 and Xbox One and completely abandon the system. Nintendo should focus on finding new ways to keep the third parties at bay.

They will have their games, of course.
Whether they will be fine in terms of hardware sales we will see. I guess marketing for both next gen consoles will overshadow almost everything.

I still have such a hard time believing that BotW2 is coming next year. We haven't heard anything that leads me to believe that's the case.

To the topic, maybe a $30 price cut to switch or a better game bundle. They'll be fine regardless. The general maturation of the Switch library at this point will work to their favor.

This.

And for those that are worried about 3rd party support, the Switch can cruise by on the inevitable cross-gen titles we'll get for like a year or so. By then they will have announced the Switch 2/Pro and they'll be right back into a good position.
