There will definitely be time set aside for Pokémon Let’s Go during Nintendo’s Treehouse Live. I suspect the reason the trailer is out now is so Nintendo can focus on bigger, more important Switch games during the E3 video presentation.
Since we’re now within two weeks of Nintendo’s presentations, here are my predictions:
1. Super Smash Bros.
a. Goes back to the old naming structure.
b. Is iterative of the Wii U version. Entire roster returns with 10 additions. No DLC.
c. Fans finally break Sakurai and he makes Ridley playable.
d. Releases with Nintendo Switch Online.
2. Star Fox Grand Prix
a. Includes Star Fox Zero
b. Releases in October
c. Gets me to care about a Star Fox game
3. Yoshi

b. Commits tax fraud.
