Unless you're a die hard Kojima fan, don't write Konami off!
I haven't bought one of their games in a while, but i was very impressed by eFootball PES 2020, it blows FIFA out of the water in every aspect.
Super Bomberman R also had some good support post launch with several free DLCs for about a year.

The biggest barrier to entry for me with Tetris 99 was a lack of Skill-based Matchmaking. There wasn't really a way to practice the game. It's all well and good for people who are already decent at Tetris to tweak their playstyle to be more aggressive, but if you aren't good at all, there was no where to really practice, and matches were often hit and miss whether you would get dumped on in the first minute or so.
I highly recommend Puyo Puyo Tetris for that, i guess many people transitioned from that to Tetris 99. It has practice sessions, the classic infinite mode, also the big story mode is step-by-step where the difficulty gradually increases.
SEGA and Deep Silver released a bunch of useful tutorial videos on youtube prior to the release that are worth checking, where a pro player (S2LSOFTENER) explains all the tricks like how to do T-spins, 4-wide, perfect clear, etc.
I should have probably given this game more points, considering i spent over 60 hours playing it.
The battle royale twist was overall well executed, and applied to Tetris, a game that never gets old. Also matchmaking is quick, and matches are never too long so perfect game to fill that 15-20 minutes break. The events were a decent incentive to keep playing, even though i'd have preferred meatier rewards.
Puyo Puyo Tetris (came out a month after the launch of the system) was the game that brought a nice competitive Tetris/Puyo community on Switch, Nintendo must have seen how many good tetris players are on the system. Also the fact that it's free with Nintendo Switch Online is great.

@GageBlackW23 Nice one, although it occurs to me that Byleth is for DLC pack 1 and the common score sheet happened to specifically state 'Fighters Pass 2' characters. (no idea how to handle that, just keep score however I guess) ┐( ´－｀)┌
On a related note, there's no way my "Edelgard" prediction is going to happen now.
Oops i assumed those were just announcements for all 2020 since that was the point of the thread

Smash: Byleth Eisner - Before Spring
Smash: Lloyd Irving - E3 Week
Smash: Crash Bandicoot - E3 Week
Smash: Arle Nadja - After E3 Before October
Smash: Travis Touchdown - October to New Year's Eve
One down ✓
For me it's similar to Hero and Joker.
I had Byleth in my prediction list, so i guess i was totally expecting it.
