Mario Odyssey releases days before November. It's a terrible time to release the game.
Ehh. The games have 2-3 weeks between them. For people getting Odyssey day 1, that's plenty of time to sink your teeth into it. Not like anyone should feel they're rushing through it, but for a November release it's spaced as well as it could be.
I'm just glad Ni no Kuni got delayed since that stretch would have been brutal for me otherwise.
I still think there's a pretty good chance of this, most likely Smash 4 DX if so. The lack of a November tentpole release for Switch is just incredibly weird, though stranger things have happened,
For all intents and purposes, Mario Odyssey is that game. They're going to be pushing it through Black Friday, plus BOTW has DLC and Kart and Spla2n won't stop being sold either. Their pre-Black Friday slot will probably go to a new Switch bundle.
My bet is Odyssey is coming out in October specifically because they want to spread out the load its release would bear on Switch stock. So early adopters can get the game in October, people who need a Switch then can get it then, and then they're going to be targeting the mainstream audience by getting stock ready for BF proper.
There might be one more stealth release on Switch for the year but I think this is it as far as AAA goes.
