We already have a goat Zelda and Mario. We got Splatoon 2, ARMS and soon Xeno 2, Kirby and Yoshi. The future though looks insane
>new Pokemon >new Pikmin >new Prime >new Smash (takes some time so I guess it's a new one) >new Animal Crossing >new Fire Emblem >Travis Returns >the From games we were teased >new Platinum game >new Retro game >MK9 will come at some point >new Mario Party >new Paper Mario (like it or not) >new M&L >new Next Level game >a 2D Zelda (Aonuma said they will keep making them) >new Camelot's game (possibly a Mario sport game)
What else could we realistically expect?

>mfw I bought a Switch even though I barely even like Nintendo games
Isaac Bell
New IP is extremely likely
Michael Taylor
The question is how long are most of those games gonna take to come out It's got as decent library right now, but I bought into the hype for Odyssey, and now I realized most of the games im interested in arent out yet
Also >New Smash >New Animal Crossing >Mario Kart 9 >New Mario Party >New Paper Mario >New M&L Almost half of your list is pure speculation, none of those are confirmed, and I doubt some of them will exist for ages/at all
Juan Ramirez
>>new Paper Mario lol no
Liam Clark
>Almost half of your list is pure speculation, none of those are confirmed
Now way a new Nintendo console won't get Smash or Mario Party. AC is already confirmed is coming. New Mario Kart as well, it might take some time since MK8DX still selling, but no way there's not gonna be a new one. Paper Mario and M&L sell in millions. They're not gonna kill them.

>New Mario Kart as well, it might take some time since MK8DX still selling, but no way there's not gonna be a new one. you don't know that.
Jackson Bailey
I'm not saying there's no chance, but there's no reason to get your hopes up over something that hasn't been confirmed Also when was AC on the switch confirmed? The recent direct was for the mobile game only, and I haven't seen it confirmed anywhere else That, and the M&L series has been exclusive to handhelds, and as much as the Switch can be portable, Nintendo have said they don't want to replace the DS/3DS line with it
James Martin
>>the From games we were teased never ever
David Baker
All those games are nice and everything, but can we get a fucking Kid Icarus Uprising port, please? Trying to play that shit on the 3DS is a literal torture.
Josiah Evans
>and as much as the Switch can be portable, Nintendo have said they don't want to replace the DS/3DS line with it It's like how back in the day they said the DS was going to be a third pillar and not a replacement for the Game Boy line. Mainline Pokemon is moving on already.
Jonathan Morris
Only Virtual Boy didn't have a MK.
IS confirmed that the future Mario RPG will be the M&L series (after the lack of RPG elements in recent Paper Mario). They basically confirmed tha M&L will keep getting made.
Joshua Thomas
yeah and up until Wii U every home console had at least one exclusive 3D Zelda. Muh patterns doesn't mean shit
Grayson Perry
good thing third party is getting started.
Grayson Watson
Kimishima stated the mobile games are to lure consumers in to the switch experience. So Animal Crossing is a possibility. Something tells me the mario party 100 minigame is just to keep us entertained until a proper mario party releases.
Smash however.... It'll most likely be sm4sh deluxe. The reason why it hasn't released this year (let alone announced) is because they want to fully provide new content. Mario Kart 8 is older than smash and the general go-to multiplayer game amongst many casual gamers. Everyone knows mario kart so it's easy to fill out a month with that.
Landon Parker
I wish it was. Nintendo is a fantastic developer, hamstrung by the success of their own series. It prevents them from doing anything truly new and refreshing. They've managed to take their IP to their absolute pinnacle of polish, but imagine what they could do if they didn't feel obligated to put mario, kirby, samus, link, or star fox in their games? The fact is that none of them are really compelling characters, and the gameplay in their respective games are really just small evolutions.
Brandon Rogers
>It prevents them from doing anything truly new and refreshing. Splatoon and ARMS say hi.
Camden Bell
Koizumi said to expect more than just Nintendo's traditional series for 2018 so unless that means something like a Mach Rider or Urban Champion sequel there should be something new in there. I'll be very surprised if Retro's game isn't a new IP.
Wyatt Edwards
Then this is WiiU 2? Will sales come to a halt when all hardcore Nintendo fans have one Switch?
Luis Morris
>>the From games we were teased
nothing was teased, they just showed on a big empty screen that from software is a "partner" they developed fuck all for switch
Ethan White
You should go ahead and add 2D Metroid Fusion sequel in there as well.
Nathan Morales
>tfw excited for Arena of Valor and DOOM
John Wilson
I pretty much skipped nintendo besides pokemon for the last two console generations, and I was still so excited to get my switch. Its just so fucking comfy bros, how can you get more comfy? Cannot wait for hollow knight.
Jason Morales
>nintendo will DROPPED their cash cow multiplayer games that sell not only systems, but extra hardware as well on a console that has expensive and extensive hardware accessories Literally a ubishit turn based shooter sold really well just because it was mario branded. Do you think nintendo hates money? I don't think so anons.
Brody Allen
It already has a Mario Kart. Most people didn't own a Wii U so to them MK8 is the Switch Mario Kart.
