Big games alone do squat if there are no mid tiers in between to back them up. Sure, the big guns are still missing, but the mid cards are there already. If Nintendo just brings one or two more big games, it's gold.

Games like No More Heroes 3 aren't going to push hardware momentum though, for that you need games like Animal Crossing, BOTW2, or past examples like Pokemon and Smash. All i was saying is that as of now, those other big games they'll need to keep sales high throughout the year haven't been confirmed, so their currently announced lineup is very weak.

I'm thinking Animal Crossing in March and Breath of the Wild 2 in November will be the major big hitters this year with a handful of mid-tier titles in between. Some relatively niche hardcore titles, a couple Mario games, another Wii U port or two, a few eshop titles and a random surprise like Labo or Ring Fit.

March-Animal Crossing

May-Xenoblade DE

June-3D World Deluxe

July-Bravely Default 2

Aug-Pikmin 3 Deluxe

Sept-2D Metroid

Oct-Paper Mario & ND Cube party game (Wii Party spiritual successor)

Nov-Breath of the Wild 2
