​

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 this amazing. Switch has an awesome line up of games now.

Don't you mean the 3DS?

 

[LuxerWap]

- YES! YES! YES! Pokémon Tournament DX!!!
- Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon? Meh. It's not like Black 2 nor White 2. They're the same game with more story into them, just like Yellow, Crystal, Emerald, and Platinum. Skipping them since so own Moon.
- OMFG!!! YES!!! POKÉMON SILVER FOR VC!!! I WANT IT, I WANT IT!

I'll give the Direct a 7/10.

I forgot the /s. Also, Pokemon Gold and Silver aren't that important to me.

"We would like to address rumours based on a clerical error on the Pokémon press site," a Pokémon Company spokesperson told Eurogamer. "Pokémon Ultra Sun and Pokémon Ultra Moon are coming exclusively to Nintendo 3DS family of systems and are not due for release on Nintendo Switch. This listing on the Pokémon press site was made in error and is not indicative of future plans. Please refer to the Pokémon Direct for the full details of the game."

Yeah, I can just play those on my Wii U gamepad via RetroArch and call it good.

Thats ok Nintendo! You don't want my money, I'll just pirate your rehash.....

Shush... don't cry now.... it's your own fault..... no need to cry over spilled money......

During the US/UM footage, watch carefully. Game footage is the same low 3ds quality, but the "cutscenes" are much much higher quality.

Could be saving the Switch version info for E3.

There's lines on the Pokemon in the cutscenes they would most likely remove the lines for a switch version

Nintendo has shown before high quality (HD) cutscenes of 3DS games.

 

[Arras]

Eh, I'll see. If it's similar to BW2, great, those were really good. If it's not, no one's forcing me to play it. And Game Freak has always been horrendously slow at developing games for new consoles, so anyone expecting a Switch main Pokemon game was already setting themselves up for disappointment.

[SoslanVanWieren]

Werid thing is i was predicting Pokemon ultra diamond

 

[the_randomizer]

You know, I feel like buying a New 3DS to play this, used.

But how can a 3ds be used and new at the same time?

 

[linuxares]

I'm actually disappointed. I hope they would boost atleast Sun and Moon something.

Gee, maybe because the word "new" was capitalized?
