Deserved more than just a name drop, but nice to have confirmation.
Given that they just announced Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, if they say anything else about yet ANOTHER core title that is effectively the next in the series following USUM, it'll end up overshadowing them and hurting in the long run.
So we'll have the 8th gen in 2019. Good, that leaves UltraSun/UltraMoon some time to breath.
This kind of makes up for that disappointing direct.
That'll most likely happen after the new main series Pokemon game for the Switch is released.
Now what Nintendo needs to do to prove that Switch is 3DS' replacement?
Well then. That means the release date of this game is the point at which I will definitely have a Switch.
Very wise of you. By then we will have Zelda, Mario, Xeno2 and Pokemon. I say that is enough to justify the purchase.
WOW! Thanks Nintendo.
