Every three months, Nintendo provides an updated list of its upcoming major releases, highlighting the games it thinks will help to boost the Switch’s appeal and letting us know of any minor updates or delays.
That time has come around once more today, and we’ve got the whole list for you down below. There have been a few small changes since the last update – such as the confirmed release dates for games like Luigi’s Mansion 3 and Pokémon Sword and Shield – but otherwise, everything seems to be as it was before.
So, while it doesn’t really show us anything new or exciting, the update does at least tell us that all of the games listed below are still on track for their intended release dates – which is never a bad thing.
