Animal Crossing

You are talking about the retail side, the point of purchase.  What I'm saying is that the actual production is being slowed down.  Even if every store in the world is open during the holidays, they still might not have anything notable to sell.  It takes time to make both movies and video games and both media require a lot of collaboration to make the high budget stuff.  That collaboration just can't happen effectively with the pandemic going on.

Now if you want to talk about indie games, or indie movies for that matter, they don't require nearly as many people.  I can see a lot of indies going forward without much hindrance.

It's not very unrealistic to expect a 3D Mario Remaster Collection all in one game for 60$. We've seen Nintendo do it back on the Wii with the Metroid Prime Trilogy, where Nintendo/Retro Studios remastered 3 Masterpiece and High-Budget Metroid Prime games in one package, in fact on the Wii U Virtual Console they didn't even price the trilogy at 60$ as it was only 20$. Nintendo also did a huge remaster collection like this back on the SNES where they remastered every major 2D Mario in Super Mario All Stars in one package. The 3D Mario Remaster collection would essentially be a Super Mario All Stars but instead of every 2D Mario Game we're getting every 3D Mario game in one package. Plus as for pricing, Super Mario Galaxy on the Wii U VC was only 20$ and I'm sure Sunshine and Mario 64(Which was 10$ on VC) would be worth even less since they are old games. Plus these are remasters, not remakes, which means that it won't take a ton of development time or money just to remaster these games in a fresh coat of paint, so they won't be THAT much more valuable to warrant a separate release at a higher price point since they're just remasters.

My prediction, in order of likelihood:

Mario 3D remaster collection
Mario 3D World Deluxe
New Paper Mario
Breath of the Wild 2
New Mario Kart
Xenoblade Chronicles X remaster (going out on a limb w/this one but does make sense considering it's one of the few big Wii U games not to see a Switch release)
Pikmin 4 (?) (been awhile since we've heard from this franchise)

I think it'll be a fairly tepid holiday this year, even if 5 out of 7 of those come to fruition..

But I think next year's holiday season will be the big one, likely having Metroid Prime 4 and a number of other big titles to act as the sort of "last hurrah" before Nintendo begins to steadily shift their focus more towards a possible successor console beginning 2022.

COVID-19 will likely delay a big holiday title or two to the first half of 2021. Breath of the Wild 2 would make a fantastic holiday release, but Q1/Q2 2021 seems pretty likely.
Nintendo might have to bank on the rumored remasters of 3D Mario games, a new Mario Golf, or Super Mario Party 2. I really don't see a big new title, even a Super Mario Odyssey 2, this holiday season.

Think id split the difference between the 2 of u. Metroid prime trilogy was a great value but 10do seems to be valuing their older IP at a higher price these days. Think the best case scenario would be 3 collections- m64, & sunshine on 1, galaxy 1 & 2 on another, & some paper marios on the last. Full price 3dworld "deluxe". I think its more likely we'll just see eshop releases of the 1st 4 games I mentioned ranging from $10-$30. Just my own 2 cents.

AC ofc

EDIT fuck didnt see the obvious was mentioned

Assuming the new systems come out this year still. Nothing will stop them form selling well. Even if Nintendo had 10 games coming.

Core gamers are excited to see the beefed up hardware and hopefully some ray tracing in launch games.

You casual gamers or impulse buyers would probably just buy the cheapest thing on the market for their kids xmas present.

hahahah. oh my. bitter much.

First off I was talking about Nintendo having something to compete for attention with the new systems launch. Didn't say anything about making people not buy the new systems.

Also your comment failed BADLY when you said ray tracing is what matters to this mythical "core" gamer you speak of haha. But yeah you must be right, anyone who doens't buy games for ray tracing must be "casual gamer or impulse buyer" haha. Boy I was probably gaming before you were born. I guess even these days non-gamer graphic whores like you still troll around gaming sites.

Excuse me now I have some real games to play, you go back to watching your ray tracing videos haha

I honestly beleive they will have nothing except maybe some port of a WiiU game probably Super Mario 3d World. I kinda get the feeling that Nintendo are struggling a little with HD for some reason. All there games seem to have a simple but effective art style. I would love to see them back to pushing out incredible graphics but i think them days are long gone now.
