Nintendo Switch Chat Thread V

I was looking at my Switch games yesterday and decided to count how many were from each year of its lifespan so far.

2017 - [6] - Breath of the Wild, FIFA 18, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Super Mario Odyssey, Poi: Explorer Edition, Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle

2018 - [2] - Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze, Captain Toad

2019 - [4] - New Super Mario Bros. Deluxe, Crash Team Racing, Link's Awakening, Luigi's Mansion 3

2020 - [6] - Bug Fables, Burnout Paradise Remastered, Hades, Super Mario 3D All-Stars, Immortals Fenyx Rising, Pikmin 3

2021 - [2] - New Pokémon Snap, Metroid Dread [Monster Hunter Rise and Skyward Sword still to buy]

2018 and 2019 were really lean for me and is where the majority of my insane FIFA playtime comes from.

2022 is looking good; I've got 4 perhaps 5 definite purchases in mind already (Advance Wars, Disco Elysium, Mario + Rabbids, Kirby and the Forgotten Land, BOTW2)

"2, 4, 6..."

Drum, man, here we go!

Will try and do my year-by-year of Switch games later .

Go with 5 purchases and you'll have your first odd numbered year!

Here's my breakdown by year:

2021 - [4] Metroid Dread, Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD, Football Manager Touch 2021

2020 - [5] Xenoblade Chronicles DE, Super Mario 3D All-Stars, Streets of Rage 4, Just Dance 2021, Sonic 2

2019 - [9] Pokémon Sword, Tetris 99, Doom II, Doom 1993, Final Fantasy VII, Super Mario Maker 2, Ring Fit Adventure, Final Fantasy XII, Luigi's Mansion 3

2018 - [10] Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu, Sonic 1, Alwa's Awakening, Dead Cells, Mario Tennis Aces, Minecraft, Steamworld Dig, Celeste, Dark Souls Remastered, Hollow Knight

2017 - [10] Super Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Super Mario Odyssey, Mario + Rabbids, Sonic Mania, Stardew Valley, Rocket League, Axiom Verge, Blossom Tales

2021 is looking light but there's a few releases still on my "to buy" list which will bolster it. 2022 shows promise, but I'm not that confident we'll see another top year like 2017 again though

[Robbo-92]

2022 could match 2017, it’s probably relatively unlikely though. We already have a brand new Pokémon game, Mario & Rabbids sequel, potentially the BoTW sequel, that alone makes it a very solid year in my opinion. We then have a brand new Kirby and an Advance Wars port, Splatoon 3. Then they could also announce a new 3D Mario game, or a lot of people here seem to want a new 3D Donkey Kong (either would be good!), the never ending Metroid Prime remake rumours are now pointing to a MP remake for next year. Knowing Nintendo they have some stuff yet to be announced as well.

As I said it’s unlikely to have the same impact overall as the Switch’s launch year, but it could be a very good year for the Swtich.

shyguy64 did you sell fish in animal crossing new horizons today.

[Herdanos]

Has anyone played Airborne Kingdom?

Wasn't expecting a city building sim when I decided to give the launch trailer a watch, but it looks fun.

The combination of what Nintendo has confirmed and what is rumoured is absurd:

3D Kirby
Pokemon Arceus
BOTW2
Mario x Rabbids 2
Splatoon 3
Advance Wars remake
Bayo 3
3D Mario
Metroid Prime Remaster
New Donkey Kong
Xenoblade Chronicles 3


If that is what happens, it will be Nintendo's greatest year ever

[ITSMILNER]

2022 is defo shaping up to be a massive year, I still think 3D Mario and Donkey Kong will be the same project featuring both characters to tie into the movie. I also still see BOTW 2 launching March 2023, if you take these games though and try to fill them into the calendar

Pokemon Arceus - January 2022
Advance Wars remake - April 2022
3D Kirby - May 2022
Splatoon 3 - June 2022
Mario x Rabbids 2 - July 2022
Bayo 3 - September 2022
3D Mario/DK - October 2022
Metroid Prime Remaster - November 2022 (20 year anniversary month)
Xenoblade Chronicles 3 - December 2022
BOTW2 - March 2023

Pokemon Arceus - January 2022 - 0

I guess you're not a huge fan of the world of Pokémon, Tomous .

[Tomous]

Nope, I know I'm not going to get it therefore zero hype!

[Tsunade]

My purse is going to be empty in 2022 by the looks of it!

Is mario kart 8 on the switch compatible with the wii u version? I'd love to play some of you guys online but I only have the one on wii u.

[Balladeer]

Hype ratings, is it?

Pokémon Arceus - 9
Advance Wars remake - 2
3D Kirby - 7
Splatoon 3 - 1
Mario x Rabbids 2 - -100 #fuckUbisoft
Bayo 3 - 0
3D Mario/DK - 6 (would be higher if I knew it was happening)
Metroid Prime Remaster - 5 (same)
Xenoblade Chronicles 3 - 6 (same)
BOTW2 - 8 (would be higher if I knew when it was happening)

[ITSMILNER]

Hmmm, if I had to list mine out in order of excitement of the release

BOTW2
Metroid Prime Remaster
Splatoon 3
3D Mario/DK
Mario x Rabbids 2
3D Kirby
Advance Wars remake
Bayo 3
Pokemon Arceus
Xenoblade Chronicles 3 (I still have not put any real time into DE or 2 yet so that's why this is at the bottom)
