2018 looked pretty dry before the first direct. Then we got HW, DKCTF, mario tênis aces,dark souls; and keep coming with mario party, diablo, civilization, pokemon, mario party and smash. The most relevant part of the games released in 2018 were announced in 2018. We just need a first direct of the year.
So, patience. They will announce games enough for this year, at least based in the recent past.
She is probably right.
