Expect "Many" New Games for Nintendo Switch in 2021!

As you may or may not have noticed, Nintendo Switch is getting harder and harder to buy as the ongoing silicon shortages are set to continue well into the next year and possibly even further ahead. Dark times, but it's not all bleak - long as you already have a Switch on hand.

According to a recent announcement by Shuntaro Furukawa, the Representative Director and President of Nintendo, the company has got some really big announcements and awesome new games planned for release later in 2021.

Plenty New Games Coming Out on Nintendo Switch in 2021

The Q&A - which is rather exhaustive, mind - basically states that Nintendo is doubling-down on Switch, which makes a perfect amount of sense. In fact, even more so if they do end up releasing a version of Switch Pro sometime down the line.

"After the release of Animal Crossing: New Horizons, there was a substantial increase in the number of consumers playing Nintendo Switch," said Furukawa. "There was a gradual decrease afterward, but there was another considerable increase during the year-end holiday season last year, which reached the highest number of active users since the release of Nintendo Switch. Although the number slightly decreased after the beginning of this calendar year, a lot of consumers are playing Nintendo Switch with the recent March release of Capcom's Monster Hunter Rise, so we don't think that the momentum is fading."

So, basically, it's a complex season with a lot of moving parts, and the ongoing pandemic is still a major consideration for the gaming industry.

To provide you with a bit more context, it's worth knowing that Nintendo has recently increased their research and development expenditure (causing an entirely new wave of Switch Pro rumors) as well as apparently struggling to keep up with rising demand for their current console.

"Many new software titles will be released this fiscal year, starting in the first quarter," continued Furukawa, adding that Nintendo feels this may further expand their current playerbase in the long run.

According to sources, we should be looking forward to:

• The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD
• Pokemon Brilliant Diamond
• Pokemon Shining Pearl
• Mario Golf: Super Rush

And heaps more.

Maybe even something for Animal Crossing peeps? After all, we do need more content for the game...
