piopakk said: Is there a question hiding in this thread? But yeah, they are riding on the commercial burst of Switch, Zelda and MK8 wave. They will need to push the wave further, with gameplay of SM Oddysey and the release of ARMS and Splatoon2 this summer. Hopefully that is enough until the holidays and then hopefully SM Oddysey is not delayed to 2018. If it is delayed, what is there of incentive to buy a Switch in the second half of 2017? |
Nintendo in January said that SM Odyssey was basically finished, decision to make it big holiday title was strategic decision, if they wanted they would make it to be launche title alongside Zelda.
Splatoon2 is in second half of 2017. For now Swith looking strong until for rest of year if we talk only about exlusives:
-June - ARMS
-July - Splatoon2
-Avgust (probably) - Mario x Rabbids
-September (probably) - Fire Emblem Wariors
-October (or December) - Xenoblade 2
-November - Mario Odyssey
Have on mind that Nintendo could easily announced at E3 some other game/s alongside Mario x Rabbids that will be launched this year (for instance rumored Pokemon or Pikmin 4...at this point I think that rumored Smash Bros port is 2018. game).
