The Walmart website now lists, in unexpected detail, Team Sonic Racing. The game is slated for the Switch on December 31. According to Walmart, the game as a combination of “arcade and fast-paced competitive style racing.” Character choice is emphasized, as are local and online multiplayer.
Here’s the down-and-dirty: It’s a Sonic racing game.

It wasn’t live streamed, but tonight’s Pokemon 2018 Video Game Press Conference was recorded. You can watch the event in full below.
Update: Final nail in the coffin regarding online play – there is none. There is wireless and play on the same screen, but no online.
Original: The Pokemon press conference has officially wrapped up in Tokyo, Japan. Before the event ended, two separate Q&As were held. One was led by The Pokemon Company itself. The second was hosted by longtime Pokemon developer Junichi Masuda.
In the first Q&A, there were reports about Pokemon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Pokemon: Let’s Go, Eevee! not having any online features at all. However, during that second Q&A, Masuda allegedly confirmed that trading and battling can be done both locally and online. There was unfortunately no live stream event, so we’re relying on reports from those who were in attendance. Assuming online is in, it’s possible that the first Q&A only mentioned not using Nintendo Switch Online specifically, or co-op not being online. We’ll try to get final clarification as soon as possible.
In any case, on with the latest details:
