Nintendo has zero games scheduled for release in November 2020

...no.
It'll do well, but let's not get carried away here.
I mean they literally just annouced a game 2 weeks before it released, so I wouldn't be concerned about November games until about mid-October. The Switch's momentum also shows no signs of slowing so I wouldn't be worried too much for Nintendo's wellbeing, especially given how big they are.
Great consolation to the 61m+ people who've already bought one and want something new to play.
Please tell me you're joking. There's not a chance in hell that the 3D Mario WiiU port sells over 10 million copies.
Droughts are not exactly uncommon for Nintendo, its been a reality with every console they have released since the N64. Obviously the company is doing well regardless and the Switch would still be considered a huge success even if everything suddenly grinded to a halt, but people shouldnt be upset when somebody is pointing out the general lack of games. This is what you always get with Nintendo.
Switch is selling like wildfire this year on the back of Animal Crossing, the evergreens, and Covid lockdowns. I think that this momentum will give them a very good holiday even if they don't have a tentpole to launch in November.
Of course it would be better to have a nuke to put up against the new console launches, but I think that a significantly lower price and a significantly more robust lineup of games (which are still popular and very much in the public eye) will fare well against them.

Okay, 30 million is pushing it, probably 15-20 million. Still it'll sell more than you guys expect.
ehhh, new super mario bros. u deluxe is at over 7.5M and still selling, and this has more new content and online play. and the switch is more popular now.
i wouldn't say it's at all guaranteed, but it's not impossible.
30M though, no.

They won't just have nothing for November. Not unless they don't plan on selling systems this holiday. If there's something new and original for the holidays, they might just be waiting to drop the news on it after the other two reveal their launch lineups and prices.
They probably didn't adapt to COVID very well though, and don't be surprised if the new consoles are barren for a while too.

For November I can see them bunding something like Animal Crossing or Pokemon/Mario 3D All Stars together and that's their "big" holiday bundle.
Man the holiday season is gonna be very weird for US retailers this year.

The fact that they announced Mario 3D All Stars two weeks from release means all bets are off.
Metroid V might be announced Nov.1st and released Nov.18th.
They probably have another Direct in the pipe just ready to go for their other non-Mario releases.
There are games released on the eshop and in stores every week. There is no drought.
If BOTW2 isn't ready for November, they'll aim for Skyward Sword HD.
If Skyward Sword HD also isn't ready for November, they'll release Wind Waker HD for Switch.
Whatever happens with covid, they've got an easy Zelda November release to pull out of a bag somewhere.

Lol i feel like threads like these are made all the time. Always claiming Nintendo or the Switch is going to be doomed because of lack of releases/announcements. Smh
There are plenty of new games that have released on the Switch this year. Geez, every Direct has to have some 1st party AAA new sequel in it? Also, most of that 61 million never had a WiiU.
COVID is a real thing and has affected everyone differently. I don't get the obsession of Nintendo first party games that have to be released like every other month. Zelda is the only game with a real shot at release this year, every other Nintendo franchise has been released or is still in development for 2021 and beyond.
Meanwhile, Sony has only released a game that was delayed from 2019 and another game that was delayed to summer 2020 but announced years before....with only a SpiderMan standalone expansion for the PS5 launch window. Microsoft has only released a Flight Simulator game in 2020.
I don't get the outrage.
Don't worry, guys. Metroid Prime Trilogy is gonna hit in November, and then Metroid Prime 4K with New Switch+ next year.
We've been saying "they probably have another Direct in the pipe ready to go" for basically all of 2020.
The Switch will outsell the PS5 and Xbox Series X combined in November and December. Twice or thrice over.
Animal Crossing and 3D All Stars are going to sell like crazy this holiday, so Nintendo absolutely doesn't *need* a November game, but this is weird that they don't have one. Pokémon Sword and Shield are also gonna do well, especially once the second expansion drops.
Nintendo will do just fine this holiday.
But still, I doubt we've seen the full extent of their plans for the year.

I would love to know how you arrived at this incredibly wrong statement lol
They've released like 10 games this year

This is almost assured due to stock constraints and shortages that the pandemic is going to make worse. But does that help with regard to revenue? Nintendo definitely profits off of their hardware sold, but the days of selling hardware at a loss are gone in general, and I can't imagine Sony and MS will want to do this either.
Metroid Prime Trilogy.
Any chances of the fabled MH Switch releasing in November/December in Japan and getting a worldwide release, similar to World?

Lol. I don't think 64 DS is being "held back", I think it was intentionally not looked at or mentioned at all because they have no plans to ever do anything with it.
So
So you think people buying a switch aren't also buying software with it? Will Mario kart, Odyssey, Zelda, AC, etc disappear?
They could bundle the Pokémon dlc into an "ultra" version and throw that on the shelf. There's your November game.
The person I was replying to was obviously talking about AAA exclusives. I don't think Battletoads fits that.
EDIT: Just realized I left off Minecraft Dungeons, but excuse me for forgetting about Bleeding Edge like the rest of the world did.
I hope not, but feel free to quote me in December when it does lol.
