Given that Pokémon is not coming till next year, what big game do they have lined up for this year?

 

[nial]

Switch 1 exclusive Wind Waker and Twilight Princess remastered collection.

 

[Azelover]

I hope it's Ocarina of Time remake

 

[Darkness_Arises]

Duskbloods will be huge with the souls crowd. Nothing much for me, I just hope they remaster XC2 and XC3.

 

[BennyBlanco]

Pokopia and Duskbloods

We need a direct soon

 

[cireza]

Well it looks like it was already released. It is Pokopia.

 

[Bonfires Down]

3D Mario duh

 

[FoxMcChief]

Super Mario Galaxy 3

 

[Kagoshima_Luke]

Urban Champion Remastered

 

[TheChadOfGaming]

Super mario 3d galaxy world giga switch 2 edition

 

[ByWatterson]

Super Mario Bros. 3 Classic Edition ($100) with a Special Amiibo ($240), sold also as a pack-in bundle with a Special Edition Switch 2 ($900).

 

[asdasdasdbb]

The Duskbloods (ie: Bloodborne 2 but it's an Extraction 'Shooter')

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

2D Yoshi going on a picknick or something, you press one button to win

 

[Mr Hyde]

Yoshi and the mysterious book.

 

[Don Carlo]

I hope it's Duskbloods

 

[LavitzSlambert]

3D Mario hopefully, but maybe Pokopia. Either way there is so little announced further than 6 months out it's almost impossible to gauge.

 

[andreacusi]

Pokémon

 

[deriks]

Pokopia is doing incredible well. A welcome surprise I must say

 

[Sintoid]

Mario Movie

 

[Woopah]

Something that will be announced in the next Direct.

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

For me it's Fire Emblem: Fate's Weave.

 

[touchfuzzy]

For me it's Fire Emblem: Fate's Weave.

A game you're so excited for, you forgot the title.

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

A game you're so excited for, you forgot the title.

What's big for me is also big for the big N (joking, I know it doesn't sell gangbusters).

 

[The_hunter]

big yoshi 3d platformer.

 

[Trilobit]

Concord

 

[Germuso]

This is Nintendo now, mediocre devs

 

[marcincz]

Obviously new Professor Layton game by Level5.

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

I'm still waiting for 2025's big game.

 

[Ipsi]

Tomodachi Life 2 or Pokepia.

TL is most hyped

 

[Sticks]

Metroid Prime 4

 

[MrJangles]

Gran Turismo 9.

 

[Chuck Berry]

Can I get my Wind Waker and Twilight Princess Remastered ports before the heavy hitter for the love of fuck?

 

[Camreezie]

I dont think it will be a massive one i thonk it will be a ywar where there are a few of the smaller IP series representing. Fire emblem, Yoshi already confirmed then maybe: zelda remaster, paper mario and splatoon raiders towards the end of the year

 

[WhiteWaterM00se]

IMO, Realistically you are looking at:

First Half the year:

Pokopia
Fire Emblem
007
FFVII part 1&2
RE9
Pokemon Rom port: Fire Red & Leaf Green

Second Half the Year:

DuskBloods

Holiday game Either: 3d Mario, LM4, or *new* Zelda

Pokemon rom port: Sapphire, Ruby, Emerald

Additionally: Probably two NS2 editions. (Xeno 2?, Switch Sports?, LM3, Metroid Dread?, Smash?, Ring Fit?)

Wii NSO

COD

GTA VI

College Football

Stage Tour (Guitar Hero game)

Edit: FFXIV

 

[Lionel Richie]

People ITT are not ready for how well Tomodachi Life will sell. Expect to see some here seething and more importantly dilating in the upcoming months.

Yeah, you may be right. It might sell well. I have no idea. But, currently it is a Switch 1 only game. To my knowledge, there has not been a NS2 version announced.

 

[Lynkk]

Donkey Kong Bananza Ultimate Edition and a DLC for Mario Kart

Nintendo is a small company and this is a risky business.

And we are waiting for Trump to refund us.

Please understand.

 

[p_xavier]

I'd like Twilight Princess myself. Only game my Wii U is still hooked up for.

 

[RoboFu]

That's actually a very good question. It's getting about time for a big direct.

 

[rkofan87]

Given that Pokémon is not coming till next year, what big game do they have lined up for this year?

but I just want Metroid Prime 2 and 3 and Wind Waker Twilight Princess

 

[Arsic]

Fire emblem?

 

[Midway-AGNC-]

The Switch 2 is printing money, yet the future of the platform has never felt more uncertain. It's peak Nintendo. Every time you point out the drought or the lack of a roadmap, people try to hand-wave it away, but the anxiety is clearly there. It's nearly mid-2026 and we're basically flying blind. The radio silence on the first-party lineup is reaching surreal levels at this point.

 

[DreamcastSkies]

I assume a AAA Mario that we have not seen yet.

 

[Lionel Richie]

Yeah, you may be right. It might sell well. I have no idea. But, currently it is a Switch 1 only game. To my knowledge, there has not been a NS2 version announced.

So? The thread is about Nintendo's big game for the year and Tomodachi Life will safely outsell the majority of games people here expect to be big.

You are right. I misread it as Switch 2's big holiday game.

I am curious as to how well Tomodachi Life sells.

Will it bring back the Animal Crossing casuals from 2020? With everything going on in the world today?

Will it sell 5 million units in 2026? 10 million lifetime? Lots of questions!

 

[Guardian Monkey]

Super Fuckoff 2026!

 

[Danjin44]

For me currently its Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave and if Monolith Soft announce their new game.

The original TL outsold Luigi's Mansion 2, then 3 went out to sell over 14 million copies. TL in 2026 definitely benefits from the Animal Crossing audience and the game is frankly a shitpost in motion, which is also huge these days. If it's decent, I fully expect it to eventually break the 20 million barrier.

 

[DryvBy]

Probably some patched game for $80. Nintendo fanantics will claims it's a GOTY title too.

 

[analog_future]

I mean Pokemon already came out this year and it's on pace to be one of the very best selling games of the year.

So that.
