3 months with no games:

• September
• November
• December

And 3 games announced for 2025, but no actual date:

• Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment
• Kirby Air Riders
• Metroid Prime 4: Beyond

Which one will go for which month?

Metroid seems like a prime holiday release.

Maybe Hyrule Warriors in september and Air Riders in november. But we've seen so little of Air Riders that I wouldn't be surprised if it gets delayed.

[picandocodigo@lemmy.world]

Hyrule Warriors is expected "this winter", so it could slip into next year.

I'm thinking Kirby Air Riders and Metroid will be November and December (don't know in what order), to have a big Christmas title, but I have no idea

[slimerancher@lemmy.world]

I was putting Hyrule Warriors in September too, but as picandocodigo mentioned above it has "winter" release date.

So could be an empty September or we may get Metroid Prime. Since we don't have any info about Air Riders, I don't think it can be a September release. But I agree, in my mind Metroid seems like their big game for December.

[slimerancher@lemmy.world]

I think I saw them mention winter 2025, so shouldn't slip to next year, but could be incorrect messaging, with meaning this fiscal year. Let's see.

We’re getting Tomodachi Life for the Switch?! Sweet.

[picandocodigo@lemmy.world]

Yeah they said "this winter" in the Direct and it's on the Nintendo.com website. I assumed that meant they didn't have the confidence to say 2025. Or maybe they just have the flexibility in case other things don't fall into place. Either way, I can't wait for new Hyrule Warriors on Switch 2!

Can't wait for Mario Party Jamboree's Switch 2 version. Being able to use GameShare with my friends' Switch 1s on the train or something is going to be amazing, compared to all huddling around one screen.
