The Stars are aligning.
BECAUSE THEY'RE GONNA BE SWITCH DEMOS! 🙃Pokemon sun and moon game demos? Why not just download it on the eshop?
Not to be that guy but Nintendo US and Japan have completely purged the Pokémon Direct from February last year from their YouTube, including the Sun & Moon reveal trailer. UK still has it up though
NOA still has the X & Y one up.
We never had an enhanced version of X & Y that could muddle the message. Typically they remove videos when things like that could happen.
Don't feel like going through all these pages, but did Pokemon OR/AS' reveal get a direct that was announced ahead of time or was it out of the blue?
Its weird they are still promoting a 6 month old game. At least to this degree.
Starting to think this might be the case. There's a chance that Sun and Moon sales might take a hit once Stars is announced. But who knows.The event doesn't seem to be important enough to show off Pokemon Stars.
Perhaps a last chance to hype up these Pokemon games until Stars is shown at E3? Sell off these games until the special edition Switch version comes out.

Ah okay. Thanks.It was announced the day before a shareholder's meeting to please people.

At the end of the day, predicting this stuff is tough. Even within Nintendo, they can shuffle this stuff around freely. Remember the Dr. Toto rumor that said Smash would be a launch title and Zelda would be delayed? There was probably some truth to that... at one point in time. But when Zelda was ready in time, they delayed Smash... and who knows, they could delay it again. The Switch is now a roaring success. Maybe they don't need a three-hit holiday combo of Odyssey/Smash/Stars, or even a two-hit combo of Odyssey and Stars. Maybe they can save Stars and/or Smash for 2018. Smash, in particular, would be the perfect one-year anniversary title for Switch (March 2018).I think everyone should begin considering the possibility of Stars not happening until next year. It gives them time to polish and add content to the game, and it also squeezes as many more sales out of SM and 2DSXL as they can.
I think it's strange how often I see people posting that either this or Smash are even kinda likely for this year, especially the latter. I think their timing is very much up in the air.

Yeah, no doubt. I'm mostly curious how expansive these titles are. Is either Smash or Stars adding a significant amount of new content? If so, it seems to me like they would both be coming later rather than sooner.
I think Odyssey is strong enough to stand alone this holiday, but I also don't know what they have up their sleeves for E3.
They said Fire Emblem Warriors is a "fall title," so I'm guessing it'll be September or October. Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle is said to be August or September. Mario Odyssey seems almost certain to be a November title. And I trust Xenoblade Chronicles 2 will come out this year.Super Mario Odyssey
Fire Emblem Warriors
Sonic Forces
I hope E3 has a few megatons in store for us.

Shit I can't believe I forgot about FE Warriors. Very excited for that too and I hope we get some info on it soon
They'll probably do that between E3 and launch, which should also mean more frequent reveals.It upsets me that they haven't learned from Sm4sh's excellent marketing and slowly reveal new playable characters.
Keep people talking about it.
Sounds like snake confirmed for smash to me
Incredible. :-OThere, out in the darkness
A Pikachu running
Fallen from God
Fallen from Grace...
Stars in your multitude
Scarce to be counted
Filling the chaos
With order and light
You are the sentinel
Silent and calm
Keeping watch in the night...
Keeping watch in the night.
You know your place in the sky
You know your course and your aim
Each in your season returns and returns and is always the same
And if you fall as Team Rocket fell
You fall in flames
For so it has been
And so it is written
On the doorways of Paradise
That those who falter and those who fall
Must pay the price!
