No thank you. I honestly want the mobile counterparts of these games to stay far away from main entries because they are as different as night and day, and I want them to stay that way.
Nah
Pokemon+Animal Crossing are bigger than Mario+Zelda. Like I expect Pokemon to sell 20M and Animal Crossing 15.
Fire emblem is bigger (and better) than Xenoblade.
Now they just need something bigger than splatoon adn they have a whole year for that.
Im not sure if bayo 3 or metroid prime 4 are coming 2019, so Im not counting those. But I'm expecting lots of japanese exclusives finally in 2019 since they should be making the jump from 3DS.
Edit: I also expect NSMB to sell rally well, not on MArio KArt 8 deluxe levels, but we still dont have a new 2D Mario on switch, and people are even buying the one on the eshop.
If that is the case why didn't they show the game at the last direct?
More sales does not mean better. Critically speaking in the gaming industry I don't think it will go down as another 2017 unless we do not know something. Of course NSMB will sell well for example, but it will go down as another full priced port job with less effort put into it then other port with the deluxe tag MK8D, a 2017 game
Just because it will sell well doesn't mean the gaming community will even so much as reflect on it at the end of 2019 outside of Bowsette talk
Hopefully we get a Link Between Worlds (Zelda smash costume! I cling on to hope) along with some 3ds teams producing their new games like you say though
I hope you're right. I just feel Metroid is a bit too hardcore for most of the Nintendo audience and then it's not a proper FPS as such and nothing like the typical games which arw popular at the moment. Having said that, I hope all of these things work to it's favour. In any case, really looking forward to it. So much so that I may go on a complete blackout and not even watch the first trailer.Zelda sold 4m with Skyward Sword. It is going to sell 12m+ with Breath of the Wild. I think that a good Metroid Prime entry might do wonders especially in the US.
I think the FY lineup is set. Imo, if AC was apart of it, it would've been announced a little earlier . The way it's set up now, we won't see a game releasing by March until January?? That seems very unlikely (unless there was a surprise AC only direct in 2018, which I highly doubt).Not that I doubt you guys but I'm curious what your reasoning is.

The only question about the FY lineup is FE and Yoshi (I say Yoshi is in, FE unlikely).
so that's my reasoning.
I mean if you focus just on the gaming community from forums you might me right, but a game that sells A LOT MORE and its good will make more people happy with their purchase.
Like, Im not the biggest fan of animal crossing, but it really is one of the biggest nintendo franchises and even if it doesnt review like Zelda, is just as important if not more important.
Same with Pokemon, it will not review like odysey, but it will sell close to 20M and its the most important game from Nintendo Handhelds (Hell, its the reson I bought a switch and even if Mario Odyssey its the best game of the gen for me the switch isnt jsutified until gen 8 is out).
I didn't mean set as in we know the entire lineup right now. I meant set as in Nintendo has it generally set barring delays or whatever. And I don't think AC was planned for Q1.I mean, we didn't know about a game like NSMBU Deluxe until September and that's launching 4 months later. Last year we had Bayo 1+2 announced 2 months before they launched.
I get that those are ports though and don't need as much marketing/detailing but I don't see why we should assume the FY schedule is all set. I still think something like MPT HD has a good shot at launching in February for instance.
But yeah I think if this rumor is accurate April is more likely anyway.

I should temper what I said. I fully expect both to be the best selling in their respective series. I see Metroid Prime 4 around 5 million and Luigi's Mansion 3 around 7 million.
I see, that's seems reasonable. Both Luigi's Mansion games have sold around 5 million, and I think Switch can add a million or two on top. Metroid Prime will depend on which features are included and which aren't, but 5 million should be possible I think if it has some form of online multiplayer.I should temper what I said.

I'm interested to see if they put online multiplayer for MP4 and if they do what kind will it be.I see, that's seems reasonable.

They'd need more then that for sure if they want to live up to 2017 in the eyes of the majority of consumers imo. Even if none of those games have problems a new splatoon, mainline mario and mainline/incredible Zelda is hard to beat, if we are talking ports throw in Mario Kart
NSMBD lol
That sucks. Well I hope Nintendo is still going to come out swinging in the first 4 months.
It looks like the information is wrong.
I have a feeling that we won't see another full blown 3D Zelda before Switchs end of life, with the game being cross-gen again. Maybe some Majora's Mask type game based on the assets of BotW, maybe a spin-off too.
But i guess Aonuma showed the higher ups that the team is able to make some groundbreaking Zelda games if given enough time.
Yes with an E3 inbetween to show off the game at a major event, Animal Crossing is one of their biggest franchises, BOTW, Odyssey and Smash all got major showings at the previous E3s. Do we really think that they're just going to show off gameplay during a Direct and thats it?
Like I say in my original point, I think if this is out early 2019 it would have been shown at E3. My bet is it gets a big showing at E3 2019 with a summer/late 2019 release
Zelda and Mario don't need an E3 to be successful, not sure what point you're trying to make here. Animal Crossing 3DS was revealed at E3 2010, with the next big trailer at the following E3
Unlikely
If the game is this advanced in production, they would had showed a trailer in the last direct
To the few people of the 13 that quoted me (lol). I more meant the sheer numbers of new exclusive games vs 2017. Most of us are disappointed with 2018 vs 2017 but I for one expected it. Nintendo simply don't have the development manpower to have output like 2017 (and 2019) every single year.
If they can have exclusive output like that every second year with good, meaty DLC and WiiU ports to fill the 'gap years' I'll be more than happy with my Switch.
Yeah you are right, and tbh I think I was underestimating how much a lot of games care about the IP on that list. I was pretty happy with 2018 because some of my favorite games ever came out in the form of indies, but 2019 is definitely a look up for the platform
