Nintendo better have something other than SMO for the holidays. If Switch is going to stay relevant it needs a new game every 2-3 months. So far BotW, Puyo Puyo, Disgaea 5, and MK8D have kept it going. Arms was a bit of a wash, but Splatoon 2 will fix that. They need SMO for August/October and something else for the end of the year. Maybe Monster Hunter XX will come to the states in time. Right?

I love Nintendo but if the Switch ever gets a six month drought I will be severely disappointed. What really scares me here is that with a possible XC2 delay, and nothing announced for 2018 Switch could have a drought from Feb 2018 to August 2018.

You didn't like the testpunch? 

I for one loved it! This and Splatoon will keep me going well and above next year

I didn't even try the test punch. I was never really a fan of the art style, and the game only got average review scores. My back catalog is huge enough as it is. I might pick it up in five months to a year after all the updates roll out. 

I'm not all that worried about getting bored due to a lack of Nintendo games. My current PS4 collection alone could keep me busy for at least a year and a half. What worries me, is that Nintendo will fall back into their usual habits of not releasing enough games for their systems. Remember back in 2011 when Xenoblade Chronicles and Skyward Sword were the ONLY two games for the Wii? Well, it's slow release schedules like that, that made people skip the Wii U. IMO Switch needs to get a new game (not counting indies) scoring 80+ on Opencritic every three to four months. That's what it takes to keep the public's attention, and make people satisfied with their console purchase. And if you disagree with review scores in general, then Switch needs a new million seller (again, not counting indies) every three to four months in order to keep the public interested.

The delay of XC2 makes me worried. I guess we'll just have to wait and see how 2018 goes though.
