| curl-6 said: According to datamining, 3D World + Bowser's Fury's final build is dated 25th of November 2020, so they've had it ready to go for two and a half months. https://nintendoeverything.com/super-mario-3d-world-bowsers-fury-new-development-details/ |
Makes sense. There's probably a few steps after the final build before the game goes gold, and from there it generally takes a month to get it to retailers. So, the timeframe is about right. Maybe they could have gotten it out a bit earlier, but they probably wanted to give the Switch a little shot in the arm once the holiday bump begins to die down a bit.
