Poll Will any of these undated 2019 Switch games be delayed? (17 votes)
The February Nintendo Direct has come and gone, and Nintendo's second half of 2019 is pretty packed! Perhaps even a bit too packed? It's possible that some will miss the window, either due to not being finished or even due to Nintendo just wanting to schedule releases differently (which happened with Yoshi). Some arguments for each game:
Pokemon: We haven't seen or heard anything about the game yet, so under normal circumstances it would seem pretty much impossible that this game will make its date. However, Pokemon games are almost never delayed due to it being an IP that transcends video games; a lot of plans would be thrown off by an unexpected delay. In addition, Pokemon games are never revealed more than 11 months before release, with Let's Go revealed even closer to release. Personally, I think it's safe and will be revealed soon (new generation Pokemon games usually revealed early in the year).
Animal Crossing: It seems that a lot of people were expecting this to be a Summer title, and are now worried since it was a no-show at the Direct. I personally think that Nintendo plans to make this the big E3 game, and that's why it wasn't shown. I think it'll be a Fall game and launch alongside a cheaper Switch revision.
Luigi's Mansion 3: Another Direct no-show. I'm slightly more skeptical of this one, despite the fact that it has actually had footage shown, unlike the above two. The footage was very rough though, almost looking like an HD remaster of the first game. It's also the least important of these three games so it slipping wouldn't be a massive loss. If it makes it it'll likely be around Halloween.
Daemon X Machina: This game is really rough based on the beta. I honestly just want it to be delayed a year because it needs a lot more polish.
MUA3: I got nothing lol. This is probably making it unless something really goes wrong
Link's Awakening: It probably seems odd to include this since it was just announced in the Direct, but Zelda is the Nintendo series that gets delayed most often so I thought I should include it. It's probably the big December release though.
Alright, you can place your bets. Try to justify them though!
