Nintendo announced a new core "Animal Crossing" title will be released exclusively for their Switch console in "2019." Although no specific season was mentioned, a quick investigation gave us a highly likely release season:
-
New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe is scheduled for a January 11, 2019 release.
-
Yoshi’s Crafted World is scheduled for a spring 2019 release.
-
Luigi’s Mansion 3 is scheduled for a 2019 release.
-
The Animal Crossing franchise is more popular than the Luigi's Mansion franchise.
-
Nintendo typically releases their most wanted title in November.
-
The last "Animal Crossing" title (New Leaf) was released on November 8, 2012.
-
The last "Luigi's Mansion" title (Dark Moon) was released on March 24, 2013.
All evidence suggests Nintendo will most likely release Luigi's Mansion 3 before Animal Crossing Switch, which will most likely be their big holiday game of 2019.
