Shinya Takahashi Confirms Unannounced Games Coming To Switch This Year, Including One 'Good Fit' For Online

Recently, a 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:major rumor has made the rounds saying that there could be up to 11 unannounced Nintendo Switch g💙ames for release in 2019. This comes from Emily Rogers, a known insid♍er in the video game industry. Although there was no confirmation of this, Nintendo has now made a statement that lends credence to the report.

In a recent , the Director and Senior Managing Executive Officer at Nintendo, Shinya Takahashi, confirmed that the comp😼any does indeed have some surprise games being prepped for release this year.

Takahashi: "We have titles currently in development that we havenʼt announced yet, some of which weʼre preparing to release this year."

Later in the briefing, Takahashi would reiterate these surprises, but a⛎dd an intriguing nugget oꦆf information about one of the titles.

Takahashi: "In addition to the titles we have already announced for scheduled release in 2019, we're also preparing for releasing software titles which would delight consumers including one that is good fit for Nintendo Switch Online."

Although Nintendo has been relatively quiet so far this year, it appears the company has big plans for 2019. Already scheduled titles include: 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Yoshi's Crafted World, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Luigi's Mansion 3, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Animal Crossing, Town, Fire Emblem: Three Houses, and168澳洲幸运5开奖网: Pokémon. This is a strong lineup,💟 but perhaps not substantial enough for the entire year. Now that we know Nintendo has multiple surprises in store, the speculation part begins. What could Nintendo have planned for the Switch?

Going back to the report, according to Emily Rogers, there will be quite a few "mystery games," digital-only eShop titles, a new Labo kit, and apparently two Wii U ports. If this is accurate, then it could mean a few differಞent things.

Regarding the Wii U ports, we've already had Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, Mario Kart 8, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Donkey Kong: Tropical Freeze, and most recently, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:New Super Mario Bros. U. According to King Zell on the , Pikmin 3 is getting a port. This would make sense, as 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Pikmin 3 was released early in the Wii U's lifespan, similar to New Super Mario Bros. U. Although not a Wii U port, the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Metroid Prime Trilogy on Switch has been heavily rumored.

As for the mystery games, it's hard to speculate with no official information. However, there are things to consider. There is currently no major Mario game on the horizon. Luigi's Mansion is its own thing, and Yoshi does not count either. It's been almost two years since the release of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Super Mario Odyssey, so it would not be unreasonable to guess that a Mario announcement is coming. Although it's unlikely that a Super Mario Odyssey 2 will be announced, a "Super Mario Maker 2" announcement seems possible. Mario Maker 2 was also stated by King Zell to be happening. This would line up with the "good fit for Nintendo Switch Online" statement, as Mario Maker would be perfect for online sharing. According to Zell, a 2D Zelda installment is also coming.

For now, we'll have to wait and see if these statements turn out to be acღcurate. If a Nintendo Direct airs next week, it's possible we'll hear some🤪thing then.
