I ordered Luigi's Mansion 3 on Amazon Mexico on June 11. Today I received an email that said it would be shipped on October 4, 2019.

October 4 is a Friday so it is possible, and Switch Lite releases September 20, very soon before LM3, so it may serve as another launch period game.

Amazon Mexico has leaked things correctly in the past, such as these:

Hopefully it's real! They can market it again for Halloween, not necessarily release it on Halloween itself.

That's earlier than I expected. I assumed if it was that early they would have announced it at E3.

Makes sense to try and get it out before Halloween though.

Nintendo's 2nd half of 2019 is insane. Totally makes up for the la luster 2018 and start of the year.

That's earlier than I expected and makes late August to then even more packed. Like as many as 10 games I'm interested in releasing over that month and a bit.

Dang they got like 10 games between Astral Chain on August 30th and Luigi's Mansion on Oct 3rd. What does that leave the rest of the 3 months besides Pokemon?

If true, that's sooner than I expected. I thought it would be late October. I don't think I'll get it right away since I'll be getting Link's Awakening only a couple of weeks beforehand, but I'll likely use one of my vouchers on it towards the end of the month.

If its true, then damn. The second half of the year is stacked.
Next Level Games must have fixed whatever didn't allow them to get a secure date on October.

No kidding. I wonder if there has ever been a month that is so densely packed with major releases on a Nintendo platform. I'm looking at those games and I'm not even sure I can remember a launch month with so much.

October was always the safe bet, being sandwiched between Link's Awakening and Pokemon SwSh. 4th is earlier than I'd anticipate though. Maybe they'd rather have it closer to Link's Awakening rather than releasing it too close to Pokemon.

Shit I might have to skip out on Zelda now, between borderlands 3 and this being right after I think the middle game has to take the hit

Knowing Nintendo it will probably be just Pokémon for the rest of the year lol. Release 10 games in September and then just one game for the last quarter because reasons.

2019 is the new Nintendo Switch highwater mark

And we don't even have a main Mario or Zelda in the mix. Just an admittedly awesome remake , a 2D mario port and and a sequel to a maker

That's great, but after that 3 whole months for just Pokémon to "breathe"? Unless there are still some 2019 first party games yet to be revealed.

Post september third party lineup is not as crowded as September too: Doom Eternal, The Witcher 3, Darksiders Genesis and Alien Isolation. There has to be more. Something tells me this september direct is going to be PACKED.

What a magical Halloween this will be. You can go to the store to get Count Chocula, AND you can get Luigi's Mansion 3.

I expected that they were aiming for an October release date for Halloween month, but I expected a mid-late October release.

If the release date is real, I will have to skip it, too many games are releasing and something must be left for the future.
