| Asriel said: I'd expect 12-16 first-party games, given Nintendo's output so far on Switch. We can possibly add Skyward Sword HD to the 2019 list - Aonuma has apparently teased it to Zelda concert goers in Japan. |
I think we'll see more than that. On average, Nintendo publishes around 25-30 games a year, and with the 3DS winding down, 95% of their focus can be concentrated purely on the Switch. Which means more Switch games than even this year. 2018 saw Nintendo publish more Switch games than 2017, this year that number could increase given that all their developers are moving on from the 3DS.
Another thing I would like to see from Nintendo next year is more new games that leverage the unique hardware of the Switch and Joy-Con. Games like 1-2 Switch, ARMS, Labo, Super Mario Party, and Snipperclips are a decent start, but I want to see more DS-style craziness in the future.
