It's very possible with Animal Crossing, along with all the evergreens, in its arsenal.

There's also the prospect of Nintendo's next big game making it ontime for the holidays. Given their announcement pattern, I'd guess it's going to be announced after the Mario 3D World launch hype begins to dissipate.

Yeah, I was thinking about it. I was sure it would be Monster Hunter, but it ended as a March release. The last directs was focused only in Mario and 3rd party stuff, so I'm still expecting something for December

I don't think it's a high profile game though, maybe something more mid-tier. There are rumours about a 2D metroid, sounds ok of a December release

You may be right, but I think they're going to market the heck out of Age of Calamity and treat that as their big December title.

You'd normally expect something more high profile to release towards the end of the year, but this isn't a normal year. Lots of stuff got delayed.

Lazy, but not rushed at all. Rumours about it started early March, it was supposed to be announced in the E3

I don't think Nintendo needs another big Holiday Title this year, the Switch is barely able to meet demand rn and to release another major game when demand can't be meant would just canabilize their sales. It's better to release their more major games when demand isn't as high.

2020 NSW vs. VGC 07/08/09 NDS & 08/09 Wii

Looks like NSW Q3 sell-through will be 5.5-5.8M after the next two weeks, before we get any hard shipment data from Nintendo. I'd wager ROTW/Europe will be higher than tracked and we end up at 6-6.3M sell-through and >7M shipped for the quarter (1M inventory + in-transit).
