It isn't the first time they take their time to bring news for games that turn out to be among the best entries in the franchise.. I won't judge until more info is releasedThe lack of news on the game is quite telling. You always see this happen with games that don't have much new to offer.

I agree that lack of news means nothing at this point, however, I do feel like it should be pointed out that back in DS days, the marketing strategy was rather different than the gen6 onwards array of trailers and literally revealing 80% of the games before they're released.Not with BW2. Only got 2 months of pre-release coverage and it added more than any third version or remake ever has.
No matter how we spin-it these are a follow-up to games that we're already familiar with and it's not like this is a new start of a generation. That said they've done this before with games like Emerald and BW2 and those games are hailed in high regard by many.The lack of news on the game is quite telling.

i mean, as i've said on past pages, a game can be "good" while still being something bad. no matter how you spin it, after Gen V and VI where GameFreak showed they didn't have to do generic third versions here we are again with a generic third version. and of course they'll be the peak of Gen 7; i'm not cynical enough nor do i think Game Freak is dumb enough to ship a game that would just be SM "but a little different story" without fleshing out a fair amount of content.That said they've done this before with games like Emerald and BW2 and those games are hailed in high regard by many.

What really hurt them was that XY came immediately after them.I hope that you're right
On a side note, while BW2 are hailed as the best games in the franchise by many (myself included), it's also true that the bad marketing did hurt their overall sales to a degree, since they started marketing it 2 months before release
Platinum was announced May 2008, then released September 2008.Seeing what happened with the championships makes me think they should change the name of the games to "UltraDon'tBuyMe" and "UltraWaitForTheSwitchGame" and have Bidoof in the boxart. Not only this gives the competitive players less reasons to buy the game, also it lowers our chances of getting an impactful and solid group of new forms. As if that wasn't bad enough, we've already surpassed ORAS and B2W2 news droughts.
Except 30 second of footage is not enough, the fans want some more news so we can speculate, I'm not saying they'll release a lot of news, but give something a little more to build up hype.Platinum was announced May 2008, then released September 2008.
We only had Giratina's Origin Forme. Information didn't come until June, which was 3 months before launch.
B2W2 was announced February 2012, then released June 2012.
We only had Kyurem's Formes. Information didn't come until April, which was 2 months before launch.
With USUM, there's nothing to worry about.
At least we got a trailer which showed something .
Nonetheless, it's more than we've got in the past.Except 30 second of footage is not enough, the fans want some more news so we can speculate, I'm not saying they'll release a lot of news, but give something a little more to build up hype.
Looking back at pre-3ds marketing, I guess XY, ORAS and SM really did spoil us. This month corocoro comes out on the 12th, so we should get leaked scans sooner than usual. I'm sure it won't be long now, August is just around the corner and there are a bunch of revelations waiting to happen for merch, so some of them might just be USUM-related newsNonetheless, it's more than we've got in the past.
The only reason why everything feels slow is because with SM they gave us news every other week.
We need some move tutors to spice things up
