    Daniel Ahmad, a Senior Analyst at Niko Partners, has released brand new information on Nintendo’s upcoming Indie World presentation.

    We’re going to see another Microsoft / Xbox first game at the IndieWorld Direct on Monday.

    So far we’ve had Minecraft, Cuphead and Super Lucky’s Tale that have been Xbox exclusives come to Switch.

    If you’ve been following rumors/leaks you can probably guess this one.

    Two games will be shadow dropped. Both games are Hot.

    We’ll also get solid 2019 release dates for Creature in the Well, Blasphemous, Northgard, Trine 4, One Finger Death Punch 2, Skellboy and a few others.

    2019 and 2020 release windows for other games.

    Worth a watch.

    As for what the Microsoft title could be? We already have Minecraft and Cuphead, and we also have a confirmed release date for New Super Lucky’s Tale. One title is brought to mind, which happens to be a title that has been rumored to come to the Nintendo Switch for quite some time. That game is Ori and the Blind Forest. It makes quite a bit of sense, and has been heavily rumored for quite some time.

Here’s all the information from the official Pokemon Twitter account: 

    Time to get battle ready, Trainers! In #PokemonSwordShield, you can get online and challenge Trainers from all over the world in the Battle Stadium. Rental Teams and Online Competitions allow for more ways to connect to other Pokémon Trainers. bit.ly/33zFr3D

    In Ranked Battles, you’ll take on Pokémon Trainers from across the globe! Your rank in Ranked Battles indicates how strong you are as a Trainer. bit.ly/2z2iB6m

    Here’s how Ranked Battles work: Each rank belongs to a specific tier. The top tier is where Trainers aim to become the best in the world! Ranked Battles also have seasons. Once a season is over, your rank gets adjusted, then a new season begins.

    Not into competition? No worries! In Casual Battles, you can enjoy Pokémon battles without worrying about who wins and who loses. You can also use certain Legendary Pokémon and Mythical Pokémon that are not eligible for Ranked Battles!

    There are two formats for battles in #PokemonSwordShield: Single Battle and Double Battle formats. You can choose from these two battle formats for Ranked Battles and Casual Battles, too.

    The two kinds of Online Competitions: Official Competitions and Friendly Competitions. Official Competitions consist of special battles with different rules. In Friendly Competitions, you can join competitions hosted by others—or host one yourself! bit.ly/2KMIrko
