Tomorrow there will be a special 8 minute direct for Pokemon

it is a pokemon direct not a nintendo direct. :)

not that it matters :P

@KBFloYd: I'd change it but don't see anywhere to :P

Pokken tournament for switch. A port with some extra's from Wii U.
Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon for 3DS... rehashes.
Pokemon Gold & Silver available on Virtual Console on the 3DS.

I'm not impressed.

Pokken Tournament Deluxe has five new Pokémon added and I think they said a few new modes releasing Sept 22 alongside Pokémon Gold and Silver.

Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon have an alternate story with new Pokémon not in the original versions releasing Nov 17.

Thanks was trying to figure out what was shown...guess nothing to be excited about

Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon were the only good things shown. Sun and Moon are best games in the series so having more to do in Alola is fantastic.

I was hoping they made some sort of Sun and Moon port for Switch like some rumors were saying

I'm actually happy Stars isn't a thing. I hated the name for one, since stars are actually suns anyway lol. And it just seems weird to make the very first original Pokemon game on a home console a port, and a port that doesn't kind of harken back to the origins of Pokemon in some way. This is like the first Pokemon game that has a really obnoxious and drawn-out opening to get through also. Just tons of cut-scenes.

If they're going to make a Switch Pokemon game, they should make it a new game for the system. Or even a modern remake of the first game.

I think Gold & Silver coming to VC is the best news.

the fact that a real pokemon game is still not announced for switch makes me think maybe they are going to release a 3DS successor aside from switch.

i hope not :P

@KBFloYd: Amazed people haven't figured this one out yet. This Pokemon game was "plan B" It was a parachute to keep the 3DS afloat if the Switch went the way of the Wii U. Nintendo had to have something to get them through a tough holiday if the Switch bombed, so this was never coming to Switch. Sun/Moon came out 7 months ago, it would take more than a year to do a Switch game that actually took advantage of the Switch's capabilities vs the 3DS. There wont be a 3DS successor, at least not for quite awhile. The next Pokemon game will be on Switch, but that's going to be at least a couple years out.

i hope so!

check this funny video out about wiiu ports on switch

@KBFloYd:Well ports are always going to be a big part of a new system early on, especially this one where the last system bombed but had several great games. I don't think they will do every big Wii U title, probably just the ones that they really think there were sales left on the table. Mario Kart is a great example, that franchise is a sales juggernaut and the Wii U simply lacked the audience to let it really stretch its legs. That wont apply to every first party game that came out for Wii U.

Man, Pokkén Tournament DX for Switch looks so sweet. And now you can play it anywhere you go!
