If they want to position it for Pro then it'll slide to a 2022 release. There really isn't much certainty when it comes to 2021 releases right now. At minimum, it should be announced this CY/FY.
Just kind of catching up here. Am I reading this as you believe the Pro will not launch until next year?

...what? Of course you can. It could be another small tease, just as small as the first one was. Maybe just a portion of a small cutscene.
Reveal the final title of the game just before E3.
Then at E3 we'll finally get the "big blowout".

I highly doubt this is anything Nintendo related, but it's not like this is just "not how you tease BOTW2"

I was talking about ZhugeEX , if it's BOTW2 then his tweet will be more hype than this

its going to be a Chinese mobile game that no one care about it except ZhugeEX himself lol

Honestly, a lot of it depends on if Breath of the Wild 2 makes it this year or not.

But Bayonetta 3 is definitely not this year. Neither is Pikmin 4. And the next 3D Mario.

Wouldn't the numbering still be Mario Kart 9, as to not confuse consumers? I'd be like "What happened to 9?" if 10 was the next entry name.
I know Tour has enough content to be 9, but I wouldn't think it'd be smart to break the numbering tradition started with 7.
This isn't an important line of discussion, though, so feel free to ignore me. ha

We already know what game he was talking about, since the announcement happened.

I'm thinking they might just go back to subtitles instead of continuing the count up; like Mario Party did after 10.

Nintendo won't show anything significant most probably until E3. Even if they do they definitely won't during this week when they are in full Pokémon Snap marketing mode.

It should be Mario Kart 12 imo.

There was Mario Kart 8.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (9).

Mario Kart Tour (10).

Mario Kart Circuit (11).

Next Mario Kart (12).

I am of the belief the revision will be a 2022 product, yes.

Nintendo traditionally does a quick "clean house" wave of announcements prior to E3. Clears out smaller announcements that they can't fit or prioritize in their E3 Direct.

Hoping to not bother you, but is your belief that the Switch Pro is coming next year based on stuff you've heard, speculation based on the current components shortages or both?

Also, I was curious to ask about the "neat" thing you've heard about happening by mid-May IIRC: is it still on track for this specific time window?

Informed speculation.

The neat thing remains on track for mid-May -- plus or a minus a week.

Thanks for the answer.

One last question if I may ask and you can provide an answer: a few pages back you mention there isn't much certainty on 2021 releases. Is this due to Switch Pro's release period and Nintendo deciding on what might be released alongside the revision, Nintendo's own secretness or other factors?

I haven't been following Nintendo news for a bit.
Where is all this Mario kart 10 news or possible release coming from?

Mostly just related to COVID impacts.

Nothing on those posts makes me think the project MSI is unveiling this FY is X related.

He just said that we'll get a new MonolithSoft game this FY, that this game is NOT a port of XCX, and that this port is still planned (for a latter release). I'd keep the X2 hype on check, probably this is still far away, sadly.
It was two posts after the post saying it wouldnt be a port of X :

How would people feel about a H2 lineup of the following?
  • Skyward Sword HD
  • Windwaker/Twilight Princess HD
  • 2D Donkey Kong spin-off (not Country)
  • Metroid V
  • Xenoblade Chronicles 3
  • Pokemon Diamond and Pearl
That's probably what we're looking at if the Pro comes next year.
This is feeling more likely now, for better and worse. Then again, Nintendo loves surprises, so watch for another random Zelda game and yet another year without Metroid.

Got it, thanks for the clarification. I'm optimistic for the rest of 2021 since there are definitely several possible candidates for a release first-party wise, but hopefully my optimism doesn't fall flat XD It's possible (but not certain) that next week's financial results (more specifically their forecasts for the FY22) could give us a first indication.

Took a look at the Rise 2.0 leak and it has the one thing I was really hoping for so I'm pleased!

Looking forward to watching it in action later :)

Super Mario Party 2on2 = Super Mario Party 2.

I was right to predict the sequel for this year literally minutes ago. /s

Good to see that Nintendo is still so weird sometimes. Update a game after almost 3 years. And they could have easily thrown that into the last direct but instead throw it out randomly.

... Kind of wonder if this is the "neat thing" Nate heard about. The announcement came way earlier than he expected if that's the case though.

Nintendo: Doesn't announce major back to back during a direct
Also Nintendo: casually drops a twitter post about something major with no fanfare


The cynical in me is saying that they are testing if major free updates boost sales or if paying for it boost sales =P

I'll stop now, and am joking a bit.

This is so fucking random lmao.

Something tells me maybe a new game is not coming soon, and Nintendo is content to ride the sales of this game for a bit.

I also feel like this was definitely not originally the plan (or we would've seen it like... 2 years ago), but the sales of the game forced Nintendo's hand in a way.

Sounds pretty good, to be honest. Great, actually. I've been waiting for Metroid 5 for nearly 2 decades.

I'm sure Nintendo has their reasons, but... it's just so strange.

The company has coasted on a Wii U MK for years - which remains the best-selling game on the system - but no DLC.

Super Mario Odyssey is the best selling 3D Mario ever and joint top-rated game on the system (the top rated if you go by OpenCritic) and there's been no significant DLC.

This is a free update and nothing too big really, but it's more that you could point to half a dozen games that people would probably be more excited to see updates for.

SMP has sold well though and it's a cool addition for sure. I'm making this post more to illustrate that you never know what Nintendo is going to do.

We spend months speculating around in circles and something like this happens and you realise (if you didn't know already) we've got no clue, at all.

They'll add some free DLC for ARMS next...
