Oh wow, bundles galore. Switch holiday numbers should be very interesting. All about how much they can ship.

Everything releases on November 20th.
Seems like Nintendo wants to topple Japans government on that day.

Also RIP PS5 launch. Its going to have one fun week and then the Switch just murders it.

Will it have a week? Bundle release could definitely outsell the PS5.

Edit: Never mind.  Nov 19 is for everywhere but Japan and US.

Nintendo is taking no prisoners this holiday season it seems.
That Ring Fit bundle is going to fly off shelves like it's got wings, and momentum in general is already enormous.
Normally I'd criticize them for the lack of a megaton holiday game but in this instance mid-tier stuff and evergreens is really all they need.

A couple of major announcements from this Mini Direct and suddenly the first half of 2021 seems stacked, without Nintendo even needing to release all that much. Next year seems like it will be very good for third parties and we are going to see some franchise records for Japan.

At this time Bandai, Sega, Konami, Pokemon Co, Level 5 are missing, but I expect we will get plenty of Anime games from Bandai next year, Sega doesn't seem to be interested in focusing on the Switch, Konami might bring over eFootball/PES finally, Pokemon Co will probably launch a new Pokemon game or a re-imagining of an old game. And Level 5 will continue to cry in some corner clutching their Yo-kai merch :( Still no Bayonetta 3 news sadly. Interested in how this AA Ubisoft game does, both in Japan and elsewhere.
