  • “From a total gaming market outlook perspective, Pokemon: Let’s Go is the most important launch of the year. Initial response being as positive as it is, well, it’s a bit of a relief to be honest. We’ll have to see how sales go through December and into the new year.”

Listener Questions

  • NinjaDanHey all!
    
    I wanted to say I’m super stoked with Nintendo’s offerings on Switch. The quality and support has been exceptional and it’s nice to say you’re a Nintendo console owner with pride again. With that said, ARMS has probably not been the successful IP that they wanted it to be.
    
    Do you think Nintendo need to release a major new 3D IP?
    
    Do you see Nintendo releasing another one on Switch?
    
    If so, what genre would you want?
