the thing is, B/W 2 and Crystal can also be played on the 3ds and Gba, they could act as a cross-gen release. This in another hand is different, Star being a 3ds exclusive and Switch will miss out completelyGonna be interesting to see how the Pokémon Direct goes tomorrow.
Admittedly, it would be fairly disappointing if Switch isn't mentioned at all. I think a Stars 3DS/Switch release is likely, but at the same time I know how TPC likes to operate. B2/W2 released on the DS even after the 3DS released. Although this time the Switch isn't BC with the 3DS so that changes the game a bit.
I really just hope it isn't 3DS exclusive at this point. I won't be shocked if it is, but it would be a missed opportunity if that's the case.
but what if the series will just end up moving to the switch and that's itThe monster hunter discussion will continue until it's actually announced and even then I think in the short term that will only fuel the discussions anyway. At this point it's potentially the biggest 3rd party franchise in Japan and has a history of jumping platforms. It's inevitable that there will be a lot of discussion around its future. He fact that capcom is the company making the game only makes things worse.
I don't really mind it's just that the conversations are very cyclical and nothing new is really ever added to the conversation. At least after the announcement we'll have something new to discuss even though it's going to heat up the console wars something crazy.
