Slight problem with that theory, Nintendo has several big games set for 2019. Fire Emblem is a rising star, and let us not forget a new Pokemon Game.
2018 has holes, but 2019 has the tentpole game to beat all tentpole games.
Also Yokai Watch 4 is getting more info dropped soon, 23rd I believe. That will move stuff in Japan.
The Democratic Nintendo fan....is that a paradox? I'm fond of one of the more conservative companies in the industry, but I vote Liberally and view myself that way 90% of the time?
