With the announcement of the Virtual Boy release cycle, I guess I’m timed out of this experiment. Also, it’s the end of January so I think I missed my chance. I find the current state of the industry and Nintendo’s place in it to be a bit miserable, so I didn’t have the heart to predict any delightful surprises or rational expectations for what Nintendo will release this year. I hope all your dreams come true and you earn points for the Switch 2 hardware becoming more expensive, and I hope Fire Emblem is Nintendo’s biggest release of the year but doesn’t meet sales expectations.
If you change your mind, you're still welcome to drop any predictions! I tend to close submissions when the first general Direct goes live, which I imagine will occur in a week or so. Obviously things like the Tomodachi Life and Virtual Boy release dates are off-limits for points purposes by now, but maybe the points have always been made up and don't matter.
Fwiw, I share some of the sentiment regarding both the industry as well as Nintendo's current trajectory. It's harder to care for Nintendo's conveyor belt approach to whimsy when they're doing a lot of seemingly "safe" sequels. Plus there's the whole state of the world to contend with, which makes taking guesses at a company's software plans feel perhaps even more frivolous than it ever has been.
So yeah, don't feel obligated to participate of course, but know that you're welcome to join if you'd like.
