Nintendo Dispatch

It is finally time for our Nintendo E3 Predictions! We break down each and every crazy thing that Nintendo could do in a few weeks during their Direct, but of course they had to go and spoil it by announcing two new Pokémon games right after we recorded, so we put in a little bonus for you!

Before we go into our predictions (which we actually recorded before the Pokémon announcements) we talk about all the awesome stuff that The Pokémon Company and Nintendo announced including Pokémon Quest, Pokémon: Let's Go, and Pokémon 2019. Then we predict the crazy with Smash Bros., Metroid, Animal Crossing, and so much more.
