Staring into the abyss of a world where Nintendo has no games scheduled for release. Edit: The Time of Darkness Has Arrived

While I certainly agree Nintendo are overall great, I can't honestly say they always deliver for me. Most of the time, yeah, they do. Recently 2017 and 2019 for example were fantastic and delivered spades of awesome games.

They do also have their occasional slumps though, like 2016 and 2012, I'm just concerned this year will end up being one of those, especially as we could all do with something to distract and cheer us up at the moment. I could be totally wrong, but the uncertainty makes me uneasy and I'd love them to give us some reassurance that they're not asleep at the wheel.

They have a realistic release schedule that they have to work with, games take time to make.

Still, I heard that Animal Crossing was the game to play while we all slow down a little. And there are also things to do outside of video games when the world slows down, like going outside for walks and exploring our world. That is what Miyamoto was doing when he invented the idea for Zelda, and also for Pikmin.

I understand that droughts can be shitty, but in light of the times when the games library is strong it is a reasonable price to pay.

Under the circumstances I don't expect this year to be as packed as 2017 or 2019 but it'd be nice to finally get some footage of Bayonetta 3 or BOTW2 and releases windows for games like them, Doom Eternal, Outer Worlds, etc.

I'd just like some stuff to look forward to this year and an idea of what their schedule will look like, a lot of fans feel the same.
