Nintendo on the other hand have had a long partnership with the company, even if there games aren't exactly revered. Balan was a complete disaster and I can't imagine Square going back to Arzest anytime soon. Also feels too early for a new WarioWare and Paper Mario (not too sure about the supposed TTYD remaster) and Pushmo/Pullblox unfortunately seems to be on ice. Intelligent Systems: No - Engage DLC was recently released and I don't expect the rumoured FE4 remake to be revealed until September at the earliest.Next Level Games: No - Too early since Strikers ended its content roll-out.EPD 10: Yes - Pikmin 4 and new 2D Mario.EPD 8: No - I think at least one of their two known games will show up this year, but not until September.Feel free to use the template if you want. I limited it to first-party teams and close affiliates. Making a dumb bet on whether these teams show up in any summer presentations (if we even get any), which includes things like Pokemon Presents. The next question becomes, do we see a simple direct or is there going to be an in-person presentation for the Switch 2 and its games, like we had in January 2017? We most likely just experienced our last ‘E3’ direct exclusively focused on Switch.

I’d be willing to wager that the September and Jan/Feb direct are still directed exclusively at Switch (you don’t want to cannibalize switch sales this autumn with a new switch announcement when you still have a heavy hitter like 2d Mario coming out ), then it’s open season after that. Given that, it’s conceivable that we’ll see the reveal of the Switch 2 next May/June, though Nintendo’s year end is March 31st, so there’s that to consider as well. The Switch also had roughly 6 months marketing from initial announcement (Oct 2016) to release (March 2017). Switch had to come out earlier given the Wii U’s failure.

If the Switch 2 comes out in 2024, it’ll most likely release in the autumn as most of their consoles, bar the Switch, have come out in the autumn. It almost makes you think that they could push the Switch 2 into 2025, unless some of the games (DK/MP4 are cross gen).
