Nintendo E3 2018 as it happened

Welcome, So the rules for this coverage are:

  • I won’t talk about Pre/Post shows in detail only mention what they are doing for them
  • No event screenshots, Not because I can’t but because the stream quality isn’t great and I wouldn’t want to force that on you but new trailers will be here
  • I will be added trailers where possible
  • I will try to cover all the key features mentioned and extra I believe matter
  • I will be opinionated if there is something I don’t like

No Pre show from Nintendo but a nice graphic featuring the Joycons and switch. This is a direct video meaning no presenter. Similar to Square Enix’s

Rock music is now play for the trailer of some form of mech game where you fight bigger mechs. The game play look exciting. Daemon x Machina coming 2019.

Japanese voiceover the trailer for this game. In 3d and showcasing the graphics is a nicer touch as it looks really nice. Clearly a anime style game, it looks to only be in Japanese. The Combat is final fantasy reminiscent, Xenoblade Chronicles 2.

Here is Nintendo America’s CEO Reggie Fils Amie. He is holding a Joycon that he slots into the switch console and begins talking about the new pokemon games coming out this year. He also shows of the Pokeball Plus. A new piece of hardware. The game and hardware come out November 16th.

Now for Mario Party for Nintendo Switch. It allows Multiple console integration so that there are two screens players can look at. Four players can still compete using the Joycons and the movement controls. Super Mario Party has no release date attached.

Now for another game. Fire Emblem Three Houses. The turn based combat and strategy displays part of the smaller picture of what this game is. The Anime transitions make this very interesting. Spring 2019.

Fortnite is coming to the switch and here is the trailer. Finally the Battle Royale game can be played anywhere. The experience isn’t adding to the overall gameplay but it is all out today.

Overcooked 2 is now on the way as a fresh announcement. Hopefully multiplayer is coming to all console but it has been confirmed for August 7th.

Killer Queen Black & Hollow Knight have also been announced coming to the switch this year.

Octopath Traveller has a demo coming June 14th to.

Starlink is once mentioned again.
