I like to think that we don’t need a year-long marketing rollout for a game like this. We’re 20+ installments into the series; a few months is plenty. But on the other hand, gosh, it sure is easy to forget how close it is....

It’ll withstand another test of time when it hits Switch, which, according to Sega, is going to be before 2018 winds down....
