Nintendo’s E3 Presentations All About Fun, Switch Games

Nintendo opted for a series of presentations instead of a full conference, and managed to pack a lot of great gaming into them. We got to see an expansion for Breath of the Wild, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, some new IP and a Splatoon Tournament. Come and join the fun.

Let the Splatoon Tourney begin!

We also got to see some Super Mario Odyssey Wooded Kingdom fun.

And then there was the Samus Returns Game reveal for Metroid.

Some dancing fun:

Mario Kart racing on the Switch, going into the air, on the ground and even underwater!

And an expansion for Breath of the Wild, you know, for those of you who haven’t put quite enough hours into the game yet.

John Breeden II

John has spent his journalism career covering just about everything, from small-town meetings and crime scenes to Capitol Hill and the U.S. Congress. He got his start writing about games and technology with a computer column called On the Chip Side, which grew to more than 1 million in circulation and ran in newspapers across several states. Today, John is an award-winning journalist with more than 25 years of experience. His work has appeared in The Washington Post, Newsweek and many other publications, and he writes a regular technology and government column for Nextgov/FCW and hosts security and educational webinars for FedInsider. He is also the founder of the Tech Writers Bureau and the chief editor of GameIndustry.com. He still loves disappearing into games, whether that means crawling through Baldur’s Gate dungeons deep into the night or planning one more big offensive in the latest wargame.
