The next edition of Nintendo Direct will focus on upcoming games for the rest of the year. There will be no news on the NX or mobile operations, unfortunately. Hopefully we get more info on the next Zelda installment though, but it should be an entertaining show nonetheless. The show will start at 5pm est. You can tune in right here on The Geek Dojo.
The logos leaked yesterday, but the games have officially been confirmed this morning during the Pokemon Direct. Unfortunately, Nintendo had nothing to show us from the next installment other than some concept art. We don’t know if Pokemon will take place in space or not, since there was no setting shown either. Nintendo will have more information on the next Pokemon games as the year progresses.
Pre-orders for Pokemon Sun and Moon have already been opened from the following retailers:
This will be the first brand new entry to the series since Pokemon X & Y in 2013. Check out the trailer above.

Two logos for what are being called Pokemon Moon and Pokemon Sun have been discovered today in the European Union’s trademark database. With accompanying logos and not just names of the games, this very well may be what Nintendo will announce during tomorrows Nintendo Direct Pokemon special.
With this small bit of information, could Pokemon be going to space? If so, this could be a very cool change in scenery. If not space then each game will for sure revolve around one Pokemon that gets its power from the moon and the other from the sun. Be sure to tune in to the Nintendo Direct Pokemon special tomorrow at 10am Eastern to find out.
