blazblue is out next month, you can play that and use best girl litchi. lol
If there's indeed a Nindies Showcase next week then there'll probably be a lot of stuff that'll release in February including the long awaited Wargroove.
This Spring.
Probably fall 2019 for the western release.

We don't really know that yet. We barely have any insight on the first half of the year at all, so It's better to wait and see what that brings before jumping to conclusions. Not that I'm expecting a big game for Feburary from Nintendo TBH (at most, we'll see a shadow dropped eShop game or two). But this year has already been said to be more exciting than last year.
Inazuma Eleven is just "not before May"
YW4 was initially Winter 2018 and got pushed to Spring '19
That's true... and that kind of situation also tends to results in mini directs(updates and some third party reveals) over full directs(new first party and major reveals)... maybe we'll get a January mini shadow drop again
I could see Platinum's new game revealed in a Jan direct, 2D zelda in an April direct then Retro's Star Fox at E3.
I don't see the PG & Wave Race things releasing this year, unless the PG project started development before Bayonetta 3 as you'd expect that one to have the bigger focus. Star Fox definitely could though. It's a perfect fit for an E3 reveal to November release.
Wave Race should come this year if Takahashi was giving a hint. Those games shouldn't take long to develop.
The thing about that other Platinum project is that Emily's original post about it implies that it would be a 2019 title.
I find that a little strange (since I feel like Bayo 3 should release before another Platinum exclusive is even announced) but whatever.
I'm disappointed because by TGA I was sure that we would get Metroid Trilogy in February. With that, Q1 would be perfect for me, with Mario, Travis, Tales, Metroid and Yoshi.
Without that, at least for now, February is looking a little empty, and also Q1.

Is it dated? If it's really coming in February, I might buy it day one. I had 3 BlazBlue games on Vita and played them like tens of hours (despite only one of them had online). And one on 3DS. And two on PSP.
Third party ports should fill those spots. Either this or previous gen console games.
I want someone in Direct to come up and say "Assassin's Creed Unity and Syndicate are on their way to Switch! Unity releases in February and Syndicate in March". I'd be crazy happy, despite the fact I have already did 100% on both on PS4. Playing open world games on portables is truly magical.
It could happen if the thing is lower in scale compared to Bayo 3. It'd be really cool to see.
February 7th
This is what I mean, until we get more announcements regarding 2019, we shouldn't just assume there's going to be a drought. Sure February might be a little quiet seemingly, but if there's a ton of other games coming out in most months of the year, then it doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things.
We still need to get the announcement of the game the Chrono Trigger Director is working on for Switch.
Also that very weird Last Story 2 retailer upload and a possible Bravely Default HD port considering BD3 is now in development.
This may sound bad but I feel like that's on you. Someone who needs to buy a new game for their console every month and plays so much that they haven't built up a backlog is FAR from the majority
Not saying you can't complain but I feel like it's kinda unfair to blame that on Nintendo

Yeah I was going off Emily's post. The other game could have started development before Bayo 3 even if it gets revealed a lot later.
I think if its a new IP then it's much more important to reveal it alongside gameplay than it is for a Bayo sequel which is a known entity.
I'm always impress by those that always has time for new games.
Probably the reason why I don't "see" droughts anymore. Once the first year of the switch went by. It got to the point where's there's always something to play. At least that's how I see it for me.

Yeah, obviously it'd be nice to see shiny new games but there are still 4 or 5 big games from last year that I really want to play but haven't bought yet.
There are titles coming in February. The month won't be devoid of any quality releases.
My theory is that some folks got really riled up after analysts say Nintendo is expected to sell 20 million Switches in FY2019 after all, and they decided to grace us with their presence.
You say that as if that hasn't been done already. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if the only reason GTAV hasn't appeared on the Switch yet is because Rockstar was waiting for the price of cards to come down.
Disagree -- you'd still get a noisy contingent who would insist that only first-party games matter. "Why should I want a multi-platform title for the Switch when there are more powerful consoles I can play it on instead?"
DOOOOOOOOOMED!
I wondered if I'm the only one like that. But those 3DS yearly playtime treads showed that in not, at least not here. Many people find it much easier to have hundreds of hours of game time on handhelds.
Plus it's not the Nintendo I'm blaming for this. They're doing the best they could. Props to them. It's the third parties get the blame. February, a month with zero first party release, perfect spot for any third party to release games to bank on this crazy Switch hype. But no one is there. They don't even have to make brand new games, ports just do fine. Look how people got happy about a simple Dragons Dogma port. Where's Ubisoft with Assassin's Creeds? Where's 2K with Bioshocks? Where's WB games with Mordor games or Arkham games? Are they still playing the "wait and see" game? It's totally their fault "waiting" for a year and not "seeing" what's it all about. Smart guys like Capcom and Square are already here.
Of course it's been done already and the results have satisfied everyone (Skyrim, Diablo). I want them to go all in. Switch lacks BC and that leaves a huge hole in its library. Lots of third party ports are best way to cover them. Nintendo are doing their own part and porting their past games.

They likely want to give Let's Go as clear a berth as possible, and this will most likely be revealed in a dedicated Direct in April/May.
How do we feel about Nintendo publishing licensed games again?
If I am not mistaken, the last ones were Eyeshield 21 on Wii in 2007 and Jump Ultimate Stars in 2006. Maybe Lego City Undercover counts?
There's Marvel UA3. I also think Nintendo should develop a Marvel game in-house as well, preferably Iron Man because he's the Marvel Character who I want to see in a good game the most.
Ok, so it wasn't on the 10th. No biggie. It's most likely not gonna be on the 17th. Ok, that's kinda surprising.
But it has to be on the 24th, I mean, come on, right, guys? I mean, it has to, right? Come on, right? Yeah, guys, come on.

You must at least agree that there would be far less noise on the subject.
I feel like there could be some sort of resurgence of a classic Square franchise on the Switch. Octopath Traveler did great and Square said they felt there was a market for those types of games on the Switch. Bringing back a classic franchise would be a fantastic idea that could pay dividends.
Not just that, but the Switch would be a great home for a lot of more unique styles of RPGs as well. I'd like to see Square Enix use the Switch as an outlet for its more experimental titles much like they did with the DS back in the day.
What they lack in numbers they'd make up for in volume, I'm afraid.
Yes, MAU3 was the game that made me think of the topic.
I wonder if Nintendo would put one of their internal teams on an external license. I can't really think of an example of that happening but I am sure it would yield some interesting results.
In a just world, we'd get the Mana collection released in the West and a new Mana game by Grezzo.
Wouldn't be the first time they did so. Miyamoto made a Popeye game for the Arcades, and R&D1 developed a few Hamtaro titles for the Game Boy Color.
So if we get a Nindies direct next week, when do they anniunce it? This week, next week?
Dark Cloud You said the last time they announced it 4 or more days before the direct.
