"Please don't worry," says Kamiya.
It's only the umpteenth time he's said that.

The next game is still progressing, apparently.
"Please rest assured and wait for it," says Hideki Kamiya.
We'll have to take his word for it.
"Just because we’re not showing it here doesn’t mean it’s not going well," says PlatinumGames' Atsushi Inaba.
“We’re all very excited about what we’re doing on that game.”

Getting a little predictable.
He also goes on to share his enthusiasm regarding making the game.
Well, that's one way to have a great 2018 lineup...
Now this would make Switch's 2018 one to remember.
Producer Atsushi Inaba would certainly like to make it.
Hideki Kamiya has big plans for the future.
Possible reveal during Nintendo's E3 direct presentation?
But then, who wouldn't want to?
