Analyst says Switch first party lineup for 2019 is strong and varied, "a few big" third party surprises coming

Those paying attention to Nintendo's announcements so far know that 2019 is going to be a big year for Switch. There's all kinds of fantastic titles lined up once we get towards the end of the first quarter. Wondering what else is in store? Her's what Daniel Ahmad, Analyst at Niko Partners had to say.

First quarter is certainly a bit light, but we'll get release dates and news for other titles coming in 2019 fairly soon. Nintendo's first party line up for 2019 is fairly strong and also a bit varied which is good to see. It's just Nintendo will require all of them to be received well because first party titles are one of the main drivers for Switch atm.

Third party will be more of the same. By that I mean do expect ports of older titles. Not that there is anything wrong with that, but the amount of 'new' third parties (that aren't family / JP games) won't be that different from last year. Certainly a few big surprises this year though.
