Nintendo Switch in 2019 - Expectations and Predictions
- Thread starter EatChildren
- Start date
Sales wise I predict that it'll ship 22 million next FY with no price cut, 25 million with one.
First of all..i dont play JRPG's. And than...i didnt have a Wii U..and i love sidescrolling 2D Mario games..so..1+1= i'll buy the game;)
Don't release Metroid Prime 4 in 2019. Keep that in the oven for as long as necessary so it's perfect. I've waited this long, I can wait more. All I want from Nintendo is Animal Crossing for 2019. Inject that right into my soul.
Keep the good indies coming and I'll be on my Switch all day, like in 2018. Nintendo subsidizing their output with indies has been the best thing.
I am tentatively looking forward to Fire Emblem as well, though. It cant be a repeat. I don't want another Awakening or Fates. Give me something that feels brave, and innovative. Something with a good story, as well.

Because we talking about great and fun 2D platform game that could be played from 1-4 players.
Comparing NSMBU and Tales of Vesperia is weird, one is 2D platform game and one of biggest and most popular Nintendos IPs, while other is less known JRPG game.
Talking about games, i think we well see the new Zelda and get more info about whatenever they are doing with Mario.
I also predict :
A new zelda 2d for switch to release this year
Metroid prime 4 being a holiday title
Reveal and release date of Retro Studios game
Pikimin 4 with a 2019 date
Luigis Mansion being a 2020 title
Fire Emblem being a 2020 title(didn't know it was already confirmed to be a 2019 title)
Animal Crossing getting a holiday date(similar to pokemon and smash this year) or 2020
Pokemon being delayed to 2020.
I think thats it

I loved Xenoblade Chronicles X but I don't think it could hold my attention for another playthrough without some sort of expansion. Mario Maker is the game I want off the Wii U the most. The hype would bring the best level makers back. Just put in an "evil Peach" mushroom and it sells itself.
I expect Bayonetta 3 and Metroid Prime 4 to not release next year.
I expect more port announcements for 2019
- Skywards Sword HD
- Metroid Prime Trilogy HD
- Pikmin 3
- Xenoblade X
Surprise 3rd party weatern support
- GTAV
- Call of Duty
- Overwatch
- Assassin's Creed

Not necessarily
3DS games can't be made at a fast pace as Switch is a HD system. Can't expect a HD sequel to handheld only games to come out just as quick. Nintendo could even just move some of these teams around to make bigger teams instead. Basically what I'm saying is don't expect Switch to have the same ammound of games as a handheld and console combined.
After several Pokemon games in a row that I couldn't bother to finish I think I'm finally sunsetting Pokemon from my interests.
I'm looking forward to Animal Crossing and Tales of Vesperia. :)

Did you try Let's Go? (haven't played it myself, just wondering if it got from you the same reaction)
Let's hope they never get tired of porting WiiU games.. some of them were so good man
On the top of my head
Pikmin 3
Super Mario 3D World
Xenoblade X
Zelda WW and TP HD
Wonderful 101
And please continue the WiiU legacy with
Nintendo Land Resort
Super Mario Maker 2
Edit: can't believe i forgot about Tokyo mirage sessions #FE!!!

Lol is it bad that my most anticipated switch game/ announcements for 2019 is ....future Smash Ultimate dlc character reveals instead of these games
Haha I'm sure these games will be good/ great I'll check some out but interest is pretty damn low so far outside smash / New Zelda
* Never played a fire emblem game, or animal crossing game and I don't expect Pokemon to wow me considering history of game Freak *
I did try let's go. I just...it wasn't engaging me if that makes any sense? Typically, I'll get 15-20 hours in and get bored and just don't have the motivation to continue. With Go it was even sooner. It just felt like things were being handed to me and nothing mattered. And I'm super nostalgic into gen 1. (litearlly only care about Gen 1 and 2 and 4 a little, definitely a genrunner or whatever the term people throw around is).

No question the Switch has an incredible momentum now with Smash Ultimate and Let's Go ; but will Nintendo makes sure that momentum leaves on ?
I mean it was the same thing last year and then we had a very quiet - to put it nicely - H1. 2019 should be stacked, but this is Nintendo we're talking about, so you never know.

Damn, I mentioned Animal Crossing twice instead Pokemon for November, edited my post.
Well NSMBUDX is in January, thats quite strong title (stronger than Bayonetta 1/2 from February and from Kirby from March), and we already had much more confirmed 2019. games than we had in same time period of last year. In any case January Direct will reveal us Winter-Spring Switch 2019. lineup and dates.

Ouf I hope not. That would be 3 worthwhile new Nintendo-developed games in the span of 21 months (Odyssey, Smash, Animal Crossing)
I assume by "worthwhile" you mean system movers, right? If so, I expect NSMBUDX (which is not a new game only for WiiU owners) as well as FE ( unless that one's no good) to move quite a number of systems.
My first page predictions were somewhat unrealistic.
Let's place some monthly predictions here. Im going all in on the fact that they will have either a 1st party or licensed/partnered 3rd party published game each month.
Jan: New Super Mario U Deluxe / Travis Strikes again.
Feb: Yoshi's Crafted World / FF12
Mar: Paper Mario Color Splash port (I know YOU don't like, but many will)
Apr: Daemon X Machina
May: Fire Emblem Three Houses
Jun: Town
Jul: Nintendo Puzzle Collection Remaster / New Puzzle League compilation / FF X/X-2
Aug: Pokémon Trading Card Game (FINALLY!) / FFVII / FFIX
Sep: Luigi's Mansion 3
Oct: Pikmin 3 / Wonderful 101 port / Marvel Ultimate Alliance
Nov: Pokémon 8 gen / FFVIII FINALLY REMASTERED TIMED CONSOLE EXCLUSIVE FOR SWITCH
Dec: Animal Crossing
GameFreak is going to have massive year with three titles releasing and each one selling a lot.
Pokémon / Animal Crossing 1-2 punch on holiday season is going to drive Switch sales again into new records, topping even Wii 3,8 million december record in U.S.
Many people will complain about the lack of hard hitters in first half of the year, again. Yoshi, Daemon X Machina, Fire Emblem and Town will however each sell over two million copies and Super Mario U Deluxe will hit that magical 10 million game mark.
Games that will be revealed for 2019 and beyond throughout the year are
New Paper Mario (In development by new talented team)
New Brain Age, Pushmo, Warioware and Mario vs. Donkey Kong titles (2019/2020 Pushing downloadable titles along with SNES games on Switch Online)
Pikmin 4 (2020)
New PlatinumGames IP (2020)
New Monolith Soft IP (In development)
No Retro game revealed even next year
Exclusive Ridge Racer
Mario + Rabbids sequel
Games confirmed for 2020
Metroid Prime 4
Bayonetta 3
Metroid Prime trilogy remaster
edit: Forgot to add the FF -games into monthly predictions
