For those who don't know, we have always kept an up to date list of upcoming first party games in the sidebar, but since most people, specially those on mobile, never even view the sidebar, going to start a new series, where I make a monthly post for all the upcoming first party games, which also allows me to post some more info and format them better.

The post won't be kept up to date once posted, and any new games announced or dates changed would show up in next months post. Though the side bar will always stay up to date.

My console is scheduled to get delivered June 11th but I'm hoping I get it on release day so I can play Mario Kart World with friends.

Good luck!

Thanks! Yeah, I had no idea that work was going into the sidebar, since it doesn't show up in my feed.

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

You are welcome! And that's why I have started this, should be easy to find for people.

Rhythm Heaven: Groove?

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

For some reason I didn't realise it's a first party game. Thanks!

[–] tamlyn@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream was so far only announced for the normal switch, not the switch 2

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Yes, you are right. My bad. Fixed the post.

Thanks for the heads up!

[–] Grimm@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Looking forward to the Zelda upgrades. Curious how much more beautiful BOTW/TOTK could look.

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Haven't paid much attention to them, though Nintendo released a "short" with people saying how hyped they are about the upgrade, but it's obviously a marketing video, and they won't show if anyone said anything bad. Link: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/AClil0kqPV0
