Would it be released for Q4 next year? If not, why?
>>58989818Imo Q2Just in time for kids getting out of school to rot in the game full time
>>58989818They wouldn't have shown gameplay and starters if it would take that long. June 2027 at the latest.
>>58989818I genuinely hope it is November 2027. That is the only way it has a chance in HELL of being good.
>>58989818I really think it's going to be in the first half of 2027 probably around Feb or March. Keep in mind, they actually showed off gameplay AND the new starters already which to me indicates that they're not gonna wait until fall of next year to release it. When they teased ZA, they only showed a cryptic trailer and no gameplay.
>>58989856If it’s going for a Q1 2027 release, they would’ve said “Early 2027” like they did with PLA’s announcement trailer.
>>58989818What is Nintendo's big flagship holiday release for 2026? A new Xeno game? Fire Emblem doesn't seem like a holiday system seller. I prefer that Winds & Waves is getting extra time in the oven, I just hope that the extra time manifests into the final release as a higher quality product than usual. I skipped out on the last two gens because they looked terrible.
>>58989818My guess is that it will be a launch-window title for a Switch 2 "lite" version. The Switch 2 launch broke records in June '25 so a June '27 launch seems realistic.>>58989958Probably Mario. The new movie is coming out soon and it would be stupid for Nintendo not to try and capitalize on that considering how popular the first one was.
>>58989834The world doesn't revolve around the US dipshit.
>>58989818Def not Q4, ZA was announced and they didn't show anything cause it was so far away from release (20 months) so the fact they've already shown the starters and gameplay footage, it's closer to release than not, I honestly think it'll be around this time next year.
>>58990029How long before release does Nintendo usually start marketing their games? It's already March.
>>58990099Recently it's only been a few months. The last major Mario game and holiday title for 2023, Super Mario Bros. Wonder, was revealed in June and released in October. Even the Switch 2 console had less than half a year between reveal and release.
>>58990040I'm pretty sure they get out during the summer in other countries too
>>58990063I could see it being literally on Pokémon day or the same week
