suddenly confronted the meeting and directly announced a large number of new works, and many games have finalized the release date; the news of the culture in the "Track" series on October 29 made Japanese players extremely excited, and I look forward to the next issue on Switch. What to play.
But having said that, the game lineup of the old in 2020 is really not enough to see, the only one who picks the lead is "Dongsen" which jumped votes from 2019. Next year, if the veterans and third parties don't make any effort, I'm afraid Switch players will really get angry.
So, what masterpieces will we have the opportunity to play on Switch in 2021?
1. " Bayonetta 3"
As early as 2017 on the TGA, Nintendo officially announced that Platinum Studios "Bayonetta 3" will land on the Switch platform. I think at that time, the Switch console had only been born for more than half a year, and the first masterpiece "Super Mario: Odyssey" was only released for a month...
So players wait and wait, wait for the "1+2" collection on the Switch, etc. Here comes "Chain of the Other World" and waits for "Fantastic 101", but there is still no news about "Bei Jie 3". Although Hideki Kamiya often runs out at every turn and says: "The development of Bayonetta 3 is very smooth", "It will be announced next week", and even jokingly hinted that "Unbounded Chain 2" has not been released. Three years have passed, and everything we players know about this game is still only one LOGO.
coupled with the raging epidemic in 2020, the development of many game studios have been affected; even "2077" has bounced three times, so the old man's delay in releasing this work is excusable. No matter what, it should come out next year...I hope "development goes well" is true.
2. "True Goddess Reincarnation 5"
"True Goddess Reincarnation 5" was released earlier than "Bayonetta 3". As early as October 23, 2017, Atlus announced that this work will land on the Switch platform.
followed by a long wait. Similar to the situation in "Bei Jie 3", apart from a few screenshots of a LOGO, there is no relevant information. Since the launch of the Switch, Atlus has had a lot of movement on the old side. "Phantom FE", " Persona 5 S" and even released a "Persona Q2" on the 3DS. The publication of a questionnaire crazily hinted at the possibility of games such as "World Tree Maze", "Persona", "Truly Goddess Reincarnation" and other games on the Switch platform...
finally in July this year, this game has sapped players for 3 years Jiu’s game has some information-it will be released in 2021 and a new PV has been released. Although we still don't know much about "Ten Goddess Tensei 5", our expectations have finally come to fruition.
3. "Metroid 4"
"Metroid 4" was released earlier than "Truly Goddess Tensei 5." At E3 in June 2017, and Nintendo officially announced this work. Although Nintendo did not release more information in 2018, it told the players: "Successfully developing." This also makes countless old fans look forward to it.
Metroid is one of the games with the greatest impact on the gaming industry. " Hollow Knight ", "Ori" and other masterpieces are all inspired by the "Metroid Castlevania" games. Under the expectation of the players, Nintendo in 2019 brought new information about the game: it’s done too badly, it’s going to be done again.
Even if we switched back to the original studio production of the series, judging from the sporadic news that continues to spread, we still have no hope of seeing the "Metrodome 4" in the short term. There is no news of the three "Metro Warrior" remakes that some uncles have said before. Next year is the 35th anniversary of the series, I hope the official can bring more news.
4. "Hollow Knight: Song of Silk"
every time there is an "independent game conference", this game is the most popular. The official confirmed early that this work will land on the Switch platform.
"Song of Silk" is the sequel to the 2D masterpiece "Hollow Knight". Players will play the role of Miss Hornet, the guardian of the holy nest, and explore a "new country full of silk and song". At E3 in 2019, we finally got a glimpse of the appearance of this work and enjoyed a live demonstration of this work.
Unfortunately, Team Cherry seems to have been reluctant to tell the players more information, except for the sentence "We will release the release date of this work after everything is secure" and squeeze a toothpaste from time to time.
Personally, I really hope that their carefully polished games can bring more surprises, so that players can regain the feeling of being in the holy nest-"all the waiting is worth it".
5. "Digimon: Survival"
recently announced the extension to 2021. In fact, I am not surprised at all. As a diehard fan of Digimon, I have been paying close attention to the development of this game. Throughout 2020, there has been no progress except for the announcement of some game system character settings. It was previously reported by FAMI. "Postponed to 2021", the official vowed that it was a false alarm, and it will still be released during the year...
From the official setting, this game uses SRPG gameplay + exploration methods similar to "Danwan Lunbao", and the theme is still It is an adventure in a different world, and many Digimon that everyone is familiar with will also appear in the game.
Nowadays, there are very few "Digimon" games, and there is only one "Hacker Recall" on the entire Switch platform. For fans, the biggest problem is that they can't eat enough. Looking at the "Pokémon" next door, it is inevitable to feel a little lost. As a fan, I really need this game.
6. "Super Robot Wars" new work
Previously, Play-Asia had a new "Super Robot Wars" on the shelves, showing that it will land on PS5 and Switch platforms. It doesn’t matter whether
is true or false, but according to the development cycle of this work + the special significance of next year’s 30th anniversary + the release of the PS5 console, it is entirely reasonable that there will be a new "Mechanical Warfare" in 2021, and there are also some information about this work on the Internet. Rumors.
In fact, the core gameplay of the series has been fixed. I personally think that as long as the battle animation does not pull the hips + the plot is wonderful + the popular works are included, the task will be completed. The three "Machine Warfare" (non-OG) of this generation have all landed on the NS platform. Among them, the excellent performance of the simultaneous debut of "Mechanical Warfare T" allowed Bandai Namco to see the potential of any handheld console. "X" was ported to the NS platform, allowing many players to satisfy their dream of "Machine Warfare" on Switch.
If the engine does not make major changes, then the new "Machine Warfare" will not accidentally land on the Switch, perhaps this will be officially released in December.
7. "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2"
Nintendo announced "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2" during E3 2019 last year, which is a surprise to Zelda fans all over the world.
Then there are many new rumors about the game, such as the game's world view will be darker than the first generation, the setting of dungeons will be used extensively, and the initial linear plot will be adopted... Numerous rumors on the Internet followed one after another, and everyone proved that the game is basic. The development is over. Although it was later proved to be untrue, don’t forget, next year is the 35th anniversary of Zelda. Moreover, in recent years, "Zelda" related games have been released every year, so I am not surprised that "BOTW 2" will appear next year.
Currently, there are many rumors on the Internet, indicating that the new Switch console will be released in the first half of 21; then, the first thing everyone thinks of is the first escort of "BOTW 2".
8. "The Legend of Zelda: Sky Sword" reset version
If there is no "BOTW 2" next year, but the "Sky Sword" reset version, will everyone be surprised? I don't think so, after all, it has been tainted for so long.
Judging from the form of this year's "Mario", if there is no "BOTW 2" next year, then it is likely that there will be a reset version or a collection of several "cold rice" "Zelda". And the most popular online is "Sword in the Sky".
As early as in the "Legend of Zelda" concert in 2018, the series producer Eiji Aonuma said on the scene: "I know what you are thinking, Switch's "Sword in the Sky", right? "This sentence has also become a powerful argument for the players. Maybe it's just a casual comment from the producer, but 2021 is indeed the 10th anniversary of the release of "Sword in the Sky".
Incidentally, Amazon once briefly put on the Switch version of "The Legend of Zelda: Sword of the Sky"
9. "Pokémon Pearl/Diamond" re-enactment
is not only the 35th anniversary of "The Legend of Zelda" next year, It is also the 25th anniversary of Pokémon. Game fanatics will not sit back and watch.
The current state of "Sword and Shield" is still very healthy, it is impossible to launch a new game, but it is quite reasonable to take out a high-quality cold meal to satisfy the old players of "Pokémon". As early as the beginning of 2019, it has been rumored to reproduce "Pearl/Diamond" on the Internet. This old game from 2006 has also become a work that has been expected by players at every "Pokémon Face-to-face Meeting".
Soon after the release of "Sword/Shield", many enthusiastic fans unearthed a bunch of clues in the game that the re-enactment of "Pearl/Diamond" is imminent, such as some character elements, Pokémon features, decorations and posters The details and so on have appeared in "Pearl/Diamond".
10. "Elysium Disco"
as the most eye-catching independent game of 2019, "Elysium Disco" has long been announced to land on the Switch platform, but it hasn't arrived, and there is almost no official announcement. I didn't see this work in the recent Parter Showcase, so maybe we can see it in 2021.
Of course, I am not sure how many games can actually be played, but the above games are all traceable, not without hope. If you are lucky, maybe you can play them all in 2021.
plus the confirmed "Ranch Story", "Rune Workshop", "Apocalypse of Courage 2", "No More Heroes 3", "Mario 3D World", "Strange Hunting: Rise" and the still uncertain "Apex" "Eleven Lightning", "Overwatch 2" and other masterpieces, if not surprising, next year will be a very rich Switch game lineup.
What kind of surprises do you think Nintendo will bring to players in 2021?
