What's the RRP for this?
If they're charging full price they can fuck right off, it just looks like rehashed stuff.

 

[-Horizon-]

Looks like you can customize your room or something?

 

[Shahadan]

I don't like how they just revealed the logos, that awful snippet reel and then nothing more. But we get 5 minutes of live action Pokken.

Don't worry there is time to waste on that at E3

 

[Skyfireblaze]

Honestly I feel the most sensible decision would have been to release Ultra on the 3DS and Switch, the Switch version being upressed to 720p and then call it a day. But yeah here we are Nintendo messed this one up...

I'll still get one of them though, Alola is a great region and if it's anything like Black and White 2 I'll have fun.

 

[Zelias]

Welp, guess I don't need to get a Switch anytime soon.

 

[maxcriden]

I can't stop laughing, especially after the setup, talking about Switch.

This is a mistake.

Yes. The trolling was out of control, lol.

 

[GiantBreadbug]

Keep the salt coming, buttholes

Hype as SHIT about the implication of Ultra Space playing a bigger role with the Ultra in the title. If these are from Ohmori then I'm fine.

 

[BasilZero]

Alternate story?


Day 1 baby!

 

[Kthulhu]

I swear, it's like Nintendo hates money. Why would I buy this if I just got Sun and Moon last year?

 

[horkrux]

I knew it. It made too much sense

 

[Orgen]

One day someone will write a book about GameFreak hahaha

 

[J@hranimo]

Everyone here is so mad lmfao

Hope they bring back the PWT cause while the main game was cool in Sun and Moon, that lack of postgame...yikes.

 

[casiopao]

But but Eurogamer said it is on Switch?O_O

 

[JonnyDBrit]

Is there a good explanation why they would be re-releasing these on the platform it's already available on? I understand the install base on 3DS, and there are more changes (not just a simple re-release), but maaaaan. This feels like a missed opportunity re: the Switch and a fresh-but-friendly market. Instead of feeling like something new, they manage to make it feel redundant or lazy (deserved or not).

Because GameFreak have had 'third' versions of the games for a long while now. X/Y was the exception, not the norm. In particular, this variant of the scheme has been around since Gen V, where they shifted to Black 2/White 2, which were treated as sequels in game.

 

[crash-14]

Maybe a Stars game is also coming to Switch.... Or are we giving up?

It's coming. But this make unclear that it'll be this year. Not sure Nintendi willing to lose money on this 3ds versions by announce it this E3.

 

[Loco4Coco]

Will it have a Battle Frontier? Shoot, I'll settle for a PWT.

 

[WonderRade]

I'm not sure if this was addressed by anyone but at 3:15 mark of the trailer the footage of ultra sun/ultra moon seems just to good for 3ds...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ue-CBOrLnb0&t=6s

i saw that too, cant tell if its just my eyes playing tricks on me

 

[Starfish Hero]

How often does Gamefreak have to do this before people realize there won't be a launch window Pokemon game

 

[RRockman]

Everyone here is so mad lmfao

Hope they bring back the PWT cause while the main game was cool in Sun and Moon, that lack of postgame...yikes.

I sure hope these games fix that and include rematches.

 

[AndrewDean84xX]

I'm still holding on to hope with E3. Maybe gamefreak will think about their future install base.

My daughter is gonna be sad about this news. She wanted a real Pokemon game for her switch.

 

[HawthorneKitty]

Yo I loved the Mimikyu appearance thing.

 

[MaximumSpider]

Just give me the director deets so I can get hyped.

 

[Ginger Hail]

I'll admit I'm a bit salty about no Switch, but then again Game Freak usually takes their time with new platforms. The thing I'm most confused about is which version I'd get depending on the one I previously bought, at least for version exclusives.

 

[LightningXCE]

 

[crinale]

Why is everyone mad ad Eurogamer?

 

[Kitsune Sama]

what

 

[Dryk]

 

[SwordStruck]

And this is why I'm not getting a Switch yet. They've got a single platform for their entire software lineup, they need to use it to make it seem most compelling. We've had enough 3DS Pokemon games.

 

[PullumPurna]

I'm glad the games are coming to 3DS! So excited to see more, I hope there's an Alola Jynx now.

 

[NoKisum]

You know they always charge full price for their third versions, right? Or are we pretending they don't do that?

 

[ffdgh]

Surprised they avoided a switch version.

Hope this is a BW2 styled sequel I guess.

There are only somewhere over 1.5 million Switches in the wild.
Sun and Moon Sold over 15 million copies.

So it really isn't hard to figure out why this isn't on the Switch yet. Just not enough units in the wild yet.

 

[Neonep]

Yikes. Will it still run poorly and hsve a ton of unskippable cutscenes? I don't know if I could do this again.

 

[Kirye]

I'm slightly disappointed that this didn't end up on Switch as well, but ultimately I would prefer a new generation game on Switch. I really didn't like Sun/Moon, playing it on the Switch wouldn't have made it better for me.

Next year probably!

 

[Mr. Phellps]

Can't wait to see what they're adding to the game. Day 1, baby!

I mean it's just like Sun and Moon. You could use 3D for photos.

Oh, didn't know. I never even enable 3D anyway.

 

[FlaygletheBagel]

Moral of the story: never expect Nintendo/GF to do what you expect them to do.

 

[jmizzal]

I think a Switch version is gonna get announced after those two versions are out, so dont expect an announcement at E3, may early next year, its gonna be a long wait

 

[Pandora012]

Zoids!!!!

 

[mingo]

Geez guys, switch version is inevitable. You lot are going on as if the switch will never get a mainline pkm game. Let's wait till E3

 

[AcademicSaucer]

I knew it, Game Freak needs to make a $60 game on the Switch, a third version of a $40 game didn't make sense

 

[Cpt Lmao]

Install base

Nintendo likes money

...then put it on both?

 

[stan423321]

At work, so can't watch. What are the differences between this new one and the old one?

Not detailed, beyond different version of story and some new Pokemon.

 

[Serpens007]

I KNEW IT!!

Thanks, didn't want to buy a Switch yet. Day fucking one

Wait for E3

Spoiler

It won't come there either

 

[Monkeyball]

Look to the stars and say to yourself "Eurogamer, you're welcome for the clicks".

 

[upandaway]

Legit sources can get shit wrong, ya know. There is a sequel to Sun and Moon coming out and there is also a "Pokemon" game coming to Switch. Rumors needn't always be 100% accurate. That's what makes them fun.

Dunno if I'd call it fun, I think a lot of people are disappointed with no Switch version only because of the rumor (otherwise no one would consider it after B2W2 happened)

 

[phanphare]

Why is everyone mad ad Eurogamer?

they tripled down on Pokemon Stars being exclusive to Switch

 

[Serenitynow]

Game looked stupid. I hate the fusion of legendaries. A retelling of Sun and Moon? So no continuity with the story? I will not buy this.

 

[TheAggroCraig]

Why would Nintendo sell one game when they can sell two to people who buy both? If it's done like B2/W2 this is better, so there's that. Just give me more Alolan forms and I'll be satisfied I guess.

Gen 8 on Switch in 2019 it is!

 

[GiantBreadbug]

Yo I loved the Mimikyu appearance thing.

Looks to me like a signature Z Move, which is amazing

More of those all around actually
