Because "purposely holding back games" is some bullshit. It's the kind of conspiracy theory you see fanboys on GameFAQs peddling. If that's not what you meant, then I apologize, but you need to get better at wording things in that case because I'm replying to what you wrote, I can't read your mind.
Ah yeah. Definitely that one. It'd be funny if it ended up releasing around the same time as Horizon next year lol. I say funny but I mean unfortunate because the console war stuff last time was bad.
He just meant Botw2 was delayed because of covid. It was probably targetting holiday 2020.
They've literally never done this for revision hardware launch to my memory. The Switch is already selling amazingly; new hardware doesn't need the help.
I don't think that's likely to be the case in the slightest- the first we heard of BOTW2 was a trusted insider saying it was due for 2020 nearly two years ago, but Nintendo never even remotely caused people to think it was coming that promptly themselves. Far more likely that 2020 was always an optimistic target, and they were perfectly willing and able to push it back as and when development required; COVID just sealed the deal.
Maybe you're right. I don't think it's impossible it was. It seemed to be built on the same foundation at og botw. Maybe it was 50/50.
Not in Japan, it wasn't. They had Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate, instead.
I don't think New 3DS is a good example because it infamously only had like two exclusives. That's like the opposite of good support. Sure they might align one game to a hypothetical Switch Pro launch (but did they even do anything like that for the Lite?), but there's no way they held back multiple for it when it makes for a horrendous 2020.
Complain all you want, but consumers are completely satisfied with Nintendo's lineup this year.
But we're talking purely about first party output so what does 3rd party support have to do with it? If that's not a bad year for Sony, than neither is this year for Nintendo because of Animal Crossing
If you thought Nintendo was going to push out HD software every month, that's on you lol
The first year of Switch was more or less that so they were correct then
Ghost of Tsushima and Last of Us 2. Not exactly what I would call a greatest year ever at all.
2019 was a pretty good year so, yeah, it did hold up there. Never mind that 2018 still had some big releases, like Smash and Pokémon, and 2020 also had notable releases in Xenoblade Chronicles and Animal Crossing
...and it had a pretty strong year one line-up so...?
It doesn't warrant much faith if their console age is 4 years then move on to the next tbh. Though this depends on if it is a PRO model or their next console and if it's gonna get a lot of exclusive games. I'm just not gonna think of it much until Nintendo themself reveal what their plan is.
Maybe there was a different game that was announced for November and then delayed shortly afterwards and I conflated the two, IDK.
Maan, I'm complaining for myself. What's so bad about that that you need to tell me I'm wrong to complain.
This attitude is so crappy.
And I'm saying you would need one game at most. See New 3DS. Certainly at least not worth delaying multiple games over and leaving a shitty 2020. Which is why I doubt they did that.
No it's not. You're free to voice your opinion based on your own personal tastes, but it doesn't mean Nintendo is having a bad year. They're having a "soft" year at worst. Nintendo's biggest issue this year is a lack of communication, not a lack of software.
