| RolStoppable said: Nintendo had carefully planned the release schedule for 2017, so it makes perfect sense that 2018 is similarly good (minus game of the generation material like Breath of the Wild). The only thing that concerns me is how close to the vest Nintendo holds their games right now. The console business is momentum-driven and a large part of the Switch's success is that the next interesting game has always been right around the corner. It's November and we still hardly know anything about the first half of 2018. What mitigates my concern is that Switch momentum is so high that Nintendo's secrecy is unlikely to do any harm, so even if it takes until January for a proper Direct, everything is still going to be fine. |
I disagree, actually in Switch case large part is of why Switch is so successful is because you already have great games available from start. Switch is so popular, has great concept and great games already, that point that we dont know almost nothing about Switch 2018. lineup dont hurt Switch at all.
| NATO said: Not going to lie, that list doesn't really suggest it's going to be a stellar year, unless more titles and heavy hitters are announced for release within 2018 I'm going to guess that 2018 will be a slump year while major titles are being worked on, followed up by a much better year in 2019. Like I said though, only going off the currently confirmed releases (assuming non are delayed into 2019) it would easily change it some bigger titles get announced for 2018 and actually hit in 2018 |
We actually don't know almost anything about 2018. Switch lineup, it's like 80-90% of Switch 2018. Switch lineup yet needs to be revealed, so of course that much more titles, including heavy hitters will be announced during 2018. year. Point is that Nintendo with Switch is holding card very close to chest and they are only focusing only released in near future, basically that's what Reggie said that few weeks ago, that they are focusing on holiday season and they will talk about 2018. games in 2018. year. Even with Switch 1st year we had couple of games where they are announced only around 1-2 months before launch. Almost certain Nintendo Direct in January will be good start, but they will not announced hole Switch 2018. linuep in January, some announcements will be saved for later Directs and E3 (even for some Direct after E3).
