Although we're on the heels of E3, it seems Nintendo has some announcements they'd like to make before their big upcoming press conference. It's time to get your pitchforks and hype trains ready, as anything could happen! And GBAtemp will be here to give you live coverage and a recap of the event after it airs, so stay tuned!

And so here we go:
They're talking about the Switch
"And now finally...we're excited to announce..."
Pokken Deluxe!

There's a trailer for the game, showing off gameplay in the different modes of the Switch. Huge focus on local multiplayer.
Launches Sept 22 2017

Onto Sun and Moon!
And then randomly....!

They just gloss over this announcement. Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon for the 3DS announced. Oh and Pokken gets a new playable character. Pokken DX is also getting a playable E3 demo for Switch.

They bring out Masuda to talk about these games, stressed for the 3DS. It's an alternate story of the original game, with new Pokemon that didn't appear in the normal games. Global release Nov 17.

Last announcement! Pokemon Gold and Silver coming to 3DS virtual Console. Compatible with Pokemon Bank. Launch Sept 22.

Omg i dont like sumo..

 

[maalni]

I'm a little disappointed from nintendo... Ultra sun and moon feels like an cheap "dlc" of the original game...

 

[Flame]

where the fuck is crystal?

COME ON!

 

[PolloDiablo]

No Pokemon RPG for the Switch = One less Switch sold.

 

[SaiTheOHaireDeliveryGuy]

You fucking serious? As a Switch owner I'm pissed as fuck. Fuck Pokken man.

Man someone on these boards was giving me shit months ago when I was saying that I was certain that Pokken Tournament would receive a DX release on the Switch. Its a good feeling to know how I right I was. Also Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon were quite the surprise, cool to see them embracing the Black 2 and White 2 model of releasing new Pokemon games again in place of a third title. Still I'm holding on to some hope that there may be a third Ultra title coming to the Switch at the same time as well, seems like the kind of announcement they might want to hold off when they just dropped all this info.

Gold and Silver on the 3DS VC isn't much of a big deal IMO though, simply because our scene had already figured out the wireless connectivity system and made our own versions of Gold, Silver and Crystal that work just as those versions will work (though I suppose our versions can't connect to the Pokemon Bank, but I don't even use that anyway, so whatever).

I can't believe how much Switch owners are getting dicked over, holy hell.
No main series Pokémon in a dual-release, and not even G/S for Switch. Wow. If I owned a Switch I'd be pissed.

DS and 3DS took 2 years to get a main series pokemon game.

 

[RustInPeace]

Fuck it seemed so obvious. Gen 4 had remakes, Gen 5 had sequels, Gen 6 had remakes, Gen 7 has sequels, it's a pattern. Gold/Silver if it follows RBY means HA Lugia and Ho-Oh, in hopefully an easier RNG scenario than Dream Radar. And thank goodness no Switch main series games. That can be next year.

 

[Slattz]

It's obvious the real reason they're releasing Ultra Sun / Moon is so all of us pirates will play it early and get banned again.

 

[Kioku]

DS and 3DS took 2 years to get a main series pokemon game.

They'd get more guaranteed sales if it weren't bw2 all over again...

 

[Justin20020]

Its good to get pokken but its shit that we switch owner dont get a new pkmn edition. Fuck that shit

 

[MajinCubyan]

All in all not too bad for 8 minutes. Figured there would be a Switch port of something. I liked the last thing with Gold and Silver.

 

[Trolling]

Wow they even bothered to bring ultra Sun and moon to the Old3DS.
Gotta lag them all.

 

[DrkBeam]

Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon? Really?

I think is too early to have a main Pokemon game on the switch, iirc Pokemon games on consoles are done when there is a substantial amount of consoles sold, it could be a 3ds sequel exclusive for the 3ds

Haha, I was right there is not a big install base on the switch in order to release a main entry of Pokemon on the system, don't worry switch users you might have a main entry in 2018-2019 if the switch sells considerably

 

[Roxasorg13]

Please. Please, PLEAAAASE, lets boicot Pokken. That is a freaking joke for switch users.
I dont want any more ports.

 

[Tom Bombadildo]

>No Shitch main Pokemon

kek. Good ol' Nintendo, shooting themselves in the foot. A main Switch Pokemon game would kill sales, but of course Nintendo is allergic to good ideas.

 

[Sonansune]

just like capcom announced each G title for monster hunter.

* DLC packed as game and sold separately.

 

[Justin20020]

Next game will be super smash bros DX on the switch xD

 

[ut2k4master]

didnt expect much and was still disappointed

 

[CeeDee]

Everyone came in expecting a main series Switch game only a few months after the damn machine comes out. Of course, these idiots were all let down by Pokken and 3DS games.

I came in expecting a one-game announcement for 3DS, and got new main series 3DS games, AND Pokken for Switch, AND Gold/Silver VC.

I think I'm pretty happy with this.
