Its that time of the year again, where the gaming industry tries to get your wallet's attention for the months to come. So what did the big N do this year?
So far they've shown some new info on previously announced titles such as Super Mario Odyssey, Fire Emblem Warriors, and Xenoblade Chronicles 2. But what about new titles?
Well they've shown mostly games to be released this year for 2017, but there are a few they've said will be coming next year.

For those who don't want to go through a 20+ minute video (or just want the cliff notes), they've revealed for next year the Switch will be receiving Metroid Prime 4 and and
a main series Pokemon game. Those will be coming out in 2018 at some point and that's all they are teasing at this time. We'll most likely learn more later in the year near the
Tokyo Game Show in the fall.
As for titles coming to the Switch for 2017, they have announced currently untitled Yoshi and Kirby games. The Yoshi title features the ability to change the perspective of the stage with certain actions
as well as multiplayer (so far only 2 players have been shown so far). The Kirby game appears to support up to 4 players (as most Kirby games have in the past few years), but if you are solo you can recruit
up to 3 NPC allies who can fight alongside you and even enhance your abilities with various elemental properties (ie: Fire Sword, Ice Bombs, etc)
Fire Emblem Warriors will be releasing this fall and will feature heroes from Shadow Dragon (Marth), Awakening (Chrom), and Fates (Corrin, Ryoma and Xander) with a pair of OC siblings on
a journey to stop an evil dragon (ya know, like in most of the main games such as Shadow Dragon and Awakening?). The gameplay is in Dynasty Warriors fashion with Bandai working on the title
much like they did with Hyrule Warriors.
Super Mario Odyssey has featured some new abilities for Mario via his new hat. He can throw it onto enemies, npcs and objects to gain control of them. Goomba? Bam, you're a goomba. Hammer Bro?
Throw those hammers like a pro, bro. You can even at some points control a FREAKING TANK OR A T-FUCKING-REX. All of which wil be rocking Mario's hat and trademark stache.
Xenoblade Chronicles 2 gave us some insight on the story. You are helping a girl get to a giant tree (I'm pretty sure its called Yggrasil) while recruiting a variety of characters and a potato along the way.
Bethesda showcased the Switch version of Skyrim, which in addition to all of the DLC being included by default, there will be Legend of Zelda amiibo support along with the Master-freaking-Sword, the Hlian
Shield, and Link's tunic from Breath of the Wild obtainable for in game use (they have not specified whether you can do so in-game by default or if you need amiibo at this time, so take this bit of news
with a grain or ton of salt). No work yet on if Mod support is included (such as with the XB1 and PS4 versions)
Oh and I guess Rocket League is coming to Switch too.
That's it for now, but E3 still has a few days to go so I'll be letting ya know new stuff as its unleashed upon us. In the meantime, what are your thought? :kitty:
[EDIT-O-VISION] Apparently Nintendo has dropped a trailer for a Metroid 2 remake on 3DS titled Metroid: Samus Returns. AM2R died for this. I'm conflicted now. Metroid is my fav
Nintendo IP (after Legend of Zelda) so I'm unsure if I wanna get it (it will come to the 3DS on Sept 15 this year)
