However, there is one glaring fact they fail to account for. Unlike years gone by, we know there's a game slated for release late 2019, we don't need to be alerted early next year, they keep saying it. Masuda's also said SM was announced far too early with too little to show for so long (Nintendo doesn't like revealing stuff from upcoming games until about 6 months to release) and saying it might work differently in the future. Smart money's on an announcement closer to April/May, than early doors 2019.
