I’m guessing Zelda will be the big November game which would make August the only month with nothing (other than Pokopia DLC) so I could see another Switch 2 Edition releasing that month, perhaps Pikmin 4.
Other than that, I could see one other smaller support title around the holidays but I think this years lineup is about set. |
They've definitely got some cards hidden throughout the Fall. It seems Nintendo is really taking "holding their cards close to their chests" very extreme... again, we didn't know about DKBananza's existence until three months prior to release. They also don't seem to be treating NS2 Editions as filling up the calendar, but rather as complementary to their NS2 lineup— just look at XenoX & Tomodachi Life (or MTFever), Fitness Boxing 3 & Splatoon Raiders, and Mario Wonder & Pokopia/Tomodachi.
The fact that they haven't even shared the release date for OoT remake is enough to convince me that they don't want a repeat of last year's September Direct, where all the holiday releases were known prior and the presentation ended up being a release date extravaganza.
