Nintendo at E3 2019: All the Major Nintendo E3 Direct Announcements
Jun. 12, 2019Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2 Announced
If you’ve had just about enough of Mario to last you a lifetime, his relatively not-so-well-known brother Luigi is back in the new Luigi’s Mansion sequel. The game will have you step into Luigi’s shoes and traverse a hotel full of ghosts with your Poltergust G-00, and a friendly doppelganger called Gooigi to help you along the way. The company didn’t announce a release date yet.
One of Nintendo’s most popular gaming consoles, the Switch, is getting two more Resident Evil games this fall. The company announced ports for Resident Evil 5 and Resident Evil 6 for the console at its presentation, so if you’re a fan of the Resident Evil series, this might be the reason to buy a Switch if you haven’t already.
Nintendo also showed off a trailer for its upcoming game titled ‘Daemon x Machina’ where players will have to defend the planet against a corrupted AI. The trailer ended with a September 13 launch date, which doesn’t seem too far away, so we’re excited to check that out for sure.
If you’ve ever played Panzer Dragoon on a Sega Saturn, this should be a pretty exciting piece of news for you — a remake of the original game, with improved graphics and controls suited to modern game consoles is coming to the Switch. While there’s no firm launch date for the title, Nintendo did say it’ll be coming in the winter this year.
You’ve obviously played Contra back in the day, and even if you haven’t, you should be hyped for the new Contra Rogue Corps. Rogue Corps is a third person shooter that will let you play solo, or take on other players in local or online multiplayer.
The Switch was shown a lot of love, and yet another amazing game is being ported to the console — Witcher 3 — with the Hearts of Stone, and Blood and Wine expansions. Nintendo didn’t announce a specific release date or window for the game, but said it’ll be coming to the Switch sometime later this year.
