Pokemon Go was definitely a good idea it seems. Interested to see what will happen when Super Mario Run releases.

Going to definitly get it, but not feeling the urge to pre-order. The demo was good, as expected though. I'm not a big fan of the anime though, so Ash-greninja didn't exactly get me teeming with excitement.
