And the habitual Nintendo is doomed weakly post. The facts? Japan 2021, until now is better than in 2020(two weeks, i know). MH Rise and thousand of the third party Nintendo always tends to make a secret about your own projects. We know BotW2 Pokemon Snap Bowser Fury Metroid Prime 4 Bayonetta 3 Rumors New SKU ( more powerful maybe with DLSS) One Mario 2D One Monolith project One open world Retro Project. A new 3d Mario. Missing Tomodachi Switch Sports Pokemon Remake Pokemon NEW Gen New DK NEW 3D DK The Weakness? Nintendo don't have two ( or three) pipeline production at the same time ( Wii 2011 i m looking for you) Nintendo unified the portable and stationary teams Monolith and Retro have grown on the staff( maybe multiple projects?) Next Level Games now is Nintendo |
Yes, obviously 3rd party will be great this year. I wasn't referring to 3rd party being anemic, but rather the possibility of Nintendo's 1st party content being weak this year, and every year until Nintendo releases Switch 2.
3rd party for 2021 will very clearly be...
SMTV
Ryza 2
Bravely Default II
No More Heroes III
Monster Hunter Rise
and many more.
As far as 1st party goes, I'm afraid. Very afraid. I'm starting to think that BotW2 will get delayed into 2022 along with Bayo 3 being massively delayed. Possibly even into 2023 for Bayo 3.
I remain hopeful for Poke'mon Snap, but I'm not counting my chickens before they hatch.
Prime 4 obviously isn't coming in 2021, let alone 2022.
P.S. Nintendo is anything but doomed. Switch will very easily sell 110+ million units lifetime. I'm just over here afraid that there is a very real possibility of Nintendo borderline abandoning the system 1st party wise. |
That would make no business sense for them. IPs are valuable if you keep the market aware of them. Let them go dormant for too long and they lose their sales potential. They have a number of ips they have let go dormant, which is why, I suspect, we don't see games from them anymore (like Ice Climbers, F-Zero). But the ones that are active? They are going to keep pumping games out at as quick of a pace as they can. Not to mention they make a lot more money selling their first party games than they get from third party games being sold, so it's also in their best interest to keep em coming.
