I dont really see Japanese support changing in any major way. Up to this point it has mostly been smaller niche titles, late ports, remasters and the occasional medium sized exclusive.

The next mainline titles in the big franchises like Monster Hunter, Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, Resident Evil, Kingdom Hearts, etc are years away from releasing so that's not really a factor for Switch next year.

In terms of system selling 3rd party titles, it would either be some surprise hit new IP or a collaboration on a Nintendo IP.

And I agree that Lite+Animal Crossing will keep it up YoY in Q1 & Q2 but depending on what releases in Q3 I could see it being down (still up YTD though). Mario Maker, Fire Emblem, 2D Zelda, improved model & Lite model is tough to compete with. Then Q4 I expect to be down unless they have some really aggressive holiday deals.

Dragon quest , I believe will lauch Switch/Ps4/PC. Square Enix no more obey Horii will.  Maybe a Monster and remake Dragon Quest IX.

Monster Hunter, Capcom need to launch something. The investor asks Capcom every time about it. The better world is Monster Hunter World Portable Version. lazy like Capcom.

I’d be all over a remake of DQ9
