A Czech retailer has listed Doom to be coming out on December 13th 2017. There is no official word yet if this will be the release date, but we do know Doom is supposed to come out this Holiday season so this very well might be it. A pretty nice Holiday gift. Thanks Barry Dunne for the tip.
As we get closer to the release date we will start to see more and more advertising for Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. Here is some promotional poster art as seen from some Japan retailers.
Nintendo spent about $4.5 million in advertising for July, which put them at the #1 position. They aired 14 commercials around 1600 times creating 230.6 million impressions. They were seen on channels like Adult Swim, Cartoon Network and Nick. The TV spot with the biggest budget seems to be the New 2DS XL ad “New, Sleek Look”.
In an interview with DualShockers and RUINER developer Reikon Games, they were asked if there would be any consideration of bringing the game to Switch. The devs responded that they had been some consideration, but “very abstractly”. So it doesn’t seem like it will happen anytime soon, but the possibility is always up there. You can see the whole interview in the source below.
