I'd imagine they will announce that in the next few directs. Probably a Japanese direct first because the Japanese LOVE Animal Crossing and E3 isn't the best place to reveal a game that is mainly popular there (I too love AC btw).

Hopefully you're right! I can't remember where they first announced new leaf.

also Game Freak's Pokemon.

Yep that too! Having some confirmation back 2 back was a great thing to do. E3 2018 for Nintendo is looking very good. 

I agree and we didn't even see a new DKC game, Animal Crossing or a new Smash game!
