So everything except a general direct? or might we get one of them as well in a week or two?
I've seen posts on Reddit stating there is no news regarding a main direct this month. Odds are we might get updates from first party already announced, but a main direct will come only by mid year (probably June)
Patience is virtue— we’ve already got a solid lineup of exclusive releases to hold us over until May. (MTFever, Pokopia, Mario Wonder DLC, Tomodachi Life, Xenoblade X NS2 Edition.)
We’ll get info sooner or later.
I respectfully disagree that is a solid lineup for a still new system. As someone not into cozy Sims or replaying games I played on Switch its a pretty poor lineup.
The fact that you have to include games without release dates and previously released games shows how weak the lineup is for the first half of 2026. And Welcome Tour? Come on now.
For the first half of the year, the launch lineup is undeniably weak. And last year was good at best, but certainly not amazing. It is reasonable for people who spent a good deal of money on a new system to feel a bit antsy.
They are releasing 3 games. I am not counting Switch 2 versions as new releases. The fact that two of them appeal to the same kind of gamers means a lot of people aren't going to have much first party stuff for the first half of the year.
I've played welcome tour and even if it was free id feel it wad meh. Some neat moments but most people would be wise to skip.
The second half lineup could be killer and the Switch 2 could have a great library. But right now I think a lot of people who spent a lot of money on a new system want a little more than speculation.
Silksong!!!!! (DLC???)
Looks like that a potential new Mario game will only be announced after the movie generated a lot of hype.
Add your reply...
Well… seems none of these showed up lol. Solid presentation though. Blue Prince shadowdrop and that one game with the bus doing flips and such were highlights!
Edit: Um…? Not sure what happen to my OG message lol.
