2019 looks to be awesome already. But I'm betting that 2020 will be even better.

Yea well i think in 2020 we will see the next Zelda and Mario, atleast + some more risky titles since every major IP will be on switch already.

So it could be the perfect time for Sakurai to work on Kid Icarus or summ. Maybe Eternal darkness? F-zero ? Who knows.

 

Also, we still haven't seen that Starfox racing game which sounds really promising. I guess they are keeping it for the Video game awards or January's direct.

These are all good points.  I am especially crossing my fingers that Nintendo will drop another Zelda using the BotW engine like they did with Ocarina and Majora.  I would love for Switch to get two great Zelda games in one generation like that.

But even more than this, I am expecting even more third party games in 2020.  A lot of third party companies were just watching carefully at the Switch's launch to see if it would be successful.  They didn't want to back another Wii U.  When they saw the Switch succeeding, they started making games for it.  But original games take time to make.  Right now what we are getting is a lot of ports, because that is all that third parties can bring over quickly.  We are going to see brand new third party games in 2019 (including exclusives) and even more in 2020.  I expect to see a lot more experimental and surprise hits on the level of Octopath Traveler over the next few years.
