While the Switch’s sophomore year of 2018 wasn’t exactly filled to the brim with new releases (save for that 1-2 punch of Pokémon and Smash that literally broke every bone in my body and my wallet), 2019 is setting out to remedy that situation. Nintendo is gearing up for a packed year, filled with tons of exclusive first and third party releases for the Switch. And while 2019 is sure to be a great💞 year for the system, 2020 has absolutely no new titles announced for the system as of yet. So in this article, we’re going to be recounting the biggest titles we have announced for 2019, along with speculating on a few new titles that we might end up seeing in 2020. Whether it be games about really mean geese or games that may or may not exist at all, we have 15 Nintendo Switch games coming in 2019, along with 10 that fans have predicted for 2020. Make sure to sound off on what games you’d like to see come to the system, and without any further ado, let’s get into the list!

25 💛🔥 Likely 2020: Rune Factory 5

Barring some sort of delay, Rune Factory 5 seems to be on the way to Nintendo Switch next year. While the serie♛s💜’ fourth entry is receiving a remaster for the console this year, fans will be getting the next game in 2020.

The game’s landing page currently has about 4 words on it right now, with 2020 being 25% of 🔯those.

While we don’t know much about the title, we know former Rune Factory developers are 🙈working on the game, so fans are surely excited for ൲any new information.

24 2019: Pokémon Sword And Shield 🌃

Hi, I’m that one guy who will find a way to force Pokémon into literally every conversation I ever have, and the upcoming release of Pokémon Shield and Sword make that just a bit easier. Coming to us at a TBA time this year, Shield and Sword will have us traveling to the Galar with our partner Pokémon, Grookey or Sobble (and not Scorbunny). This will be the first completely new Pokémon adventure since 2016’s Sun and Moon, so ಌfans are anxiously awaiting more news ab🍌out the upcoming titles.

23 2019: Untitled Goose G💝ame

Untitled Goose Game deserves a Grammy, an Oscar, and literally any other award you can throw at it because this game is absolute genius. You are a horrible goose and you need to cause as man💝y problems as possible for all the villagers you live with.

This is pe⛦rfect and I will spend so much money on this con𝓀cept.

Untitled Goose Game has received quite a few delays but is supposedly still on track for a 2019 release. Hopefully this one ends up in the hands of💞 fans sooner rather than later, and hopefully never changes its name.

22 ♎ Likely 2020: SNES Titles

Or maybe never? Who knows? It’s honestly kind of ridiculous ꦛthat we haven’t gotten SNES t♏itles on the Switch yet.

I meꩵan I guess we should be gratefulꦿ they’re spoon feeding us two NES titles every month?

And weird save state versions of games that have everything unlocked? Either way, with Nintendo hoping to bolster their online service’s appeal, this would certꩲainly do the trick.

21 2019: D𝓀aemon X Machina

Daemon X Machina, Nintendo’s surprise E3 2018 opener, is on course for a 2019 release. This is one that no one saw coming and has received a fair bit of interest from Nintendo fans. The developers certainly want to make sure they get the game right, as they recently released a demo with the option for players to send their feedﷺback on what they thought of the title. It seems as if this game will be positioned as a late holiday release, as developers are still hard at work with the title.

20 𝐆 2019: Mortal Kombat 11

Mortal Kombat 11 made for a huge surprise at the 2018 Game Awards ceremony, and with its reveal came another big surprise, the game is coming to all modern consoles! Considering Nintendo's history, and/or, lack of history with the series, this was a huge shock for gamers. It will be interesting to see what will need to be sacrificed to get the game on the system. Maybe it will be all the blood and gore because Sony and Microsoft do what Nintendon't.

19 Likꦺely 2020: Pikmin 4

Pikmin 4 has been do✨ne for like,ไ ever? Miyamoto stated in 2015 that the fourth entry of the franchise was very near completion?

Ok literally? Prove it.

Because I see it nowhere and it has been four years. In 2017 he gave an update that the game is still progressing. Why does that seem even further away? So while we haven't heard from this game in quite a while, she'll have to show up sooner or later here. I think we'll all gladly take Pikmin 3 on Switch while we're waiting!

18 ✃ ♍ 2019: Bloodstained: Ritual Of The Night

Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night is the newest installment in the Castlevania series. I mean it isn't but it basically is. The Metroidvania title is coming to Switch this year, with a huge amount of support behind it. With the actual Castlevania series laying dormant in where franchises go to perish Konami's headquarters, it makes sense that this title is the second highest earning Kickstarter video game of all time. The 2.5D title is launching on the Nintendo Switch sometime this year.

17 2019: Teamไ Sonic Racing

The fastest creature in the world is heading to the Switch in a car for some reason this year! This game was delayed into 2019 from an originally slated 2018 launch, so hopefully, this will be one of the Sonic titles that isn’t on the “eh to ew no” range of the quality scale. Since the game actually features a full campaign along with its multiplayer, it seems as if the 𒁃title is at the very least ambitious! With the game eyeing a May release, we don’t have too long of a wait to get our hands on the racing game.

16 ༒ Likely 2020: A Pokémon Title

During the Pokémon Direct for Shield and Sword, the company promised more news for Pokémon coming soon, and thus, another new title is likely on the way. This could be a few different things. It could be the generation 4 remakes fans won’t shut up about (I’m not not one of them), or a third version of Shield and Sword. It could also be one of their spinoff games such as (definitely not) Ranger or Mystery Dungeon. No matter which it ends up being, Pokémon games sell, and Nintendo k🌜nows that, so we will see something sooner than later.
