@skywake@JaxonH My setup for storage is: 3DS - 32GB micro SD card (more than enough for the downloads I've made, in fact some of the downloads I wanted physical but ended up with digital due to free game promotions) Wii U - 2TB HDD (went way over the top on this one though to be honest I expected the Wii U to have a larger lifespan than a measly 4 years) Switch - Nothing (Still have quite a significant amount of system memory left and don't care about games like NBA 2K18 which require a micro SD) XB1 - 2TB HDD (This has lasted me more than I expected it would, still have around half the space left though I do expect most if not all of it to be used up by the time Microsoft releases a successor which I think is still many years away)
GameFreak has begun developing a core RPG Pokémon title on Nintendo Switch. It may not release for more than a year, but we hope you look forward to it all the same.
There's also this interview with Game Informer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgAbM7s8CdY It could be a late 2018 title, but the way they talk about the project, I won't be surprised if it turns out to be a late 2019 title. It's been a while since they've had a break between their annual releases, and this project sounds bigger than anything they've done before.
@Octane It makes sense, since they're dealing with quite the hardware shift from 3DS to Switch. In any case, I hope they're taking their time with this. I'd rather it comes out late, than comes out and has many issues.

I think the best approach with storage in general is to just follow two simple rules. Only buy more storage when you run out of space and try to buy cards with the lowest $/GB possible. Only spend more per GB if you're buying less storage and are absolutely sure you will never need any more. It's just a way to minimise the amount of money you're spending given that storage is always getting cheaper.
Think about it, why buy a 250GB MicroSD card for about $1AU/GB now when you can just sit on your hands and wait for the price to drop? If you do chew through the Switch's 32GB this year? Buy a 64GB card for $0.50AU/GB and have that last you into 2019 at that rate. By then the 250GB card will be cheaper, lets say it's now at $0.50AU/GB also. All up you've spent $150AU instead of $250AU and you have an extra 32GB card you can use somewhere else!

@JaxonH I've never played Hollow Knight, but I've heard some pretty fantastic things about it, so i'm eager to try it. Same with Stardew Valley. And, if I'm being honest, I'm still looking forward to Yooka-Laylee: even in its rough, unpatched PC form, it was pretty fun.
Oh yeah i saw that on my alerts... maybe i shoulda posted it... maybe Virtual Console isn't dead after all... maybe just in a coma till they get these mini systems out of their hair first.
Maybe Maybe Maybe
@rk3388 I don't know how anyone can think Metriod and Pokemon is coming next year. We didn't get gameplay for any of them,just a title and a confirmation.
Well I do, as another poster said, for Pokemon they said "at least a year to make" in June. December 2018 is 18 months from the initial announcement for both of them, so I don't know how anyone can not think that at LEAST one of the two games will be out before 2019
@rk3388 They never said ''at least one year to make'', that's way too short. They said the game may not release for more than a year. There was a year between gen 2 and 3, between gen 3 and 4, and between 6 and 7, plus a year with no new games isn't uncommon. I find it unlikely that they debuted gen 7 in 2016, release two sequels in 2017 and debut another generation in 2018. Additionally, they've talked about the challenges of a ''console'' Pokemon game, so I could understand if this game took longer to develop than any previous game.
Metroid Prime 4? Yeah, no, they barely started development. That's a 2019 or 2020 game.
@Octane Just like how XC2 was definitely not a 2017 game as said by so many.
I say it could happen, because anything CAN happen. Thats the thing. Theres no saying it wont until they confirm such, and there is no use saying it will as well.

Who's to say that development didn't start sooner. Just because they announce a game with no footage doesn't mean they haven't been working on it for a while. It was inevitable to move to the Switch so why not sooner then later.

@Spoony_Tech If Doom can just get flat out announced for Christmas, then I'm sure anything is on the table for next year as of now. Can't rule anything out.
I never drive faster than I can see. Besides, it's all in the reflexes.
@Octane OK that's splitting hairs - either way he used over a year as a general timeline and not 2 or 3 years. I am just trying to be optimistic. Either way- I am 100% sure we will get at least one Nintendo heavy hitter next holiday and it won't be Yoshi.
@BLP_Software But if you had to bet on it? 2018 or later? I'd bet on later for the reasons I mentioned. Pokemon skipping a year isn't uncommon, so that's possible. Two years for one generation is awfully short, and this new game will probably take longer to develop than previous entries. It's possible, but unlikely IMO.
Metroid and Pokemon sounded like "by the way, we're working on it" announcements to me. Like how Nintendo announced a new Zelda game in 2013, and it took them four years to release the actual game.
Every year there's a Pokémon release. And usually every other year it's a remake or what have you. This year is the remake year. Next year will be a new release. If it was going to take them several years more, he wouldn't have specifically said "may take more than a year to release". I think holiday 2018 is their target release time because they always release Pokémon games in November. Only they know when they started development and only they know when it should be finished and if he says about a year, then giving them 18 months is more than sufficient. Without actual evidence to suggest it's going to take even longer than the 50% longer extended timeline already granted, I think we should base our assumptions that November 2018 is the target release date. That could change. They could hit development issues. Nothing is set in stone. But that seems to be when the actual developer indicated it would release. So let's go with that.
If by chance it doesn't make it for November 2018 then it's going to be delayed for an entire year because they only ever release Pokémon games in November. And because of that I believe they will simply bring on more staff at crunch time to ensure the game is released on time. But let's assume that they just absolutely positively cannot get the game out in a year and a half despite saying they need another a year... what will be our big late Oct/Nov holiday game for 2018? Fire Emblem? Can't be. It's a big franchise but it's not that big. Yoshi? No, and that's likely coming early 2018. A Smash port? They'd never stick a port in that holiday slot ( maybe they would for 3DS which is a dying platform but not for Switch). What other franchises does Nintendo have with the clout to take that spot? Animal Crossing? Maybe but it would have to actually be in development and exist and their target release would have to line up with next holiday...
