Nintendo Discusses Plans For E3 2019, Will Release A Video Presentation

With how great of a year the switch is already having, is there anything even left to announce at e3? (Kidding but not really) they're crushing it so far

As you were, as you were!

@NintendoByNature
I think any new game Nintendo announces at this year's E3 will be 2020 games.

Looking forward to that video presentation!

Can’t say I’m surprised. This method works for them.

Can't wait for more surprises!

@westman98 yea for sure. I hope 2020 will be as good as 2019 is shaping up to be.

I'm really looking forward to it. The period leading up to E3 always gets me hyped. I just hope they don't spend too long on one game like last year. I'd like the Presentation to be similar to the Direct we got a couple of months back.

I reckon there will be an Animal Crossing Direct next month and the Switch Mini will be revealed then, along with a special AC Edition. It's not the kind of game that's going to be revealed in a short E3 trailer so it's either a Direct next month or an AC focused E3 show.

Expected but still very excited nonetheless. They don't even need to announce anything new. Just give me more information on Animal Crossing, Luigi's Mansion 3, and Pokemon Sword/Shield. Only... a little over a month???? HYPE TRAIN!!!!

I expect updates on most, if not all of the games already announced to be releasing 2019 (Animal Crossing is the heavy hitter, but Luigi's Mansion 3, Link's Awakening, Pokemon Sword/Shield, Fire Emblem: The Three Houses). New game reveals are a given - Nintendo hasn't had a single E3, as far as I know, without at least two reveals. At least one new reveal will likely be 2019 release, though I'm not sure on what such a title would be. Information on long-awaited titles such as Bayonetta 3 and Pikmin 4 would be very welcome. I find information on Metroid Prime 4 to be unlikely, seeing development was only restarted on it half a year before E3. New Switch Online and Smash Ultimate update info are almost a given.

Also people who said Switch Mini was gonna be revealed at E3, eat your hearts out

Glass half-full approach - This could be very exciting judging from E3 2017.

Glass half-empty approach - If it's anything like last year, then Microsoft might as well have already won E3.

@NintendoByNature Yes. They are going to announce that everything actually is coming to the Switch

What day and time is it? I need to know if it conflicts with my finals.

@NintendoByNature Well, given we now know Mario Maker 2's launching the end of June now, they'll certainly throw out a bunch new details as a final sales push before release.

Just hope that and FE Three Houses don't take up too much time and there's enough room for plenty of releases for the rest of 2019.

@roboshort like everything?!?! Lets hope so!

@Angelic_Lapras_King you and me both. Sometimes I get too excited for e3 but they end up showing too much of one game. But i agree there will be some info on both games, especially Mario Maker since its so close of a release to e3

Hang on, when was it announced that there would be no new hardware announced? I have been waiting to buy a Switch when a new refreshed "pro" version comes out.

My birthday is next week and I told my wife I was waiting on this new version I know will be released at the end of the summer. If they have stated publicly that they are not releasing new hardware soon, then screw the wait I'll go ahead and get a Switch now.

The only thing I hope for is a new soccer/football Mario game. A remake of Strikers Charged or Smash Football will also do.

Or a sluggers game pretty please.

Only thing missing from E3 is Nintendo World Championship.

I really liked that.

Also make a Nintendo Championship app for Switch that you can play in mock Championship tournaments throughout various games.

@dcstud Yesterday:

Was their any doubt then

@Galarian_Lassie Thank you for the link. Guess I can go ahead and get a Switch now.

As long as there is still a treehouse. It's my fave part of E3.

@GrailUK Indeed, I really like the treehouse part. No other big publisher does stuff like that.

Can't wait!!! 😁😁 It'll be so good!

I mostly just want release dates for all of the games we know are coming. Also a reveal or 2 will be cool and here's hoping that Prime Trilogy HD finally rears it's head.

While the pre-recorded video lacks some of the gravitas of the live show, I think we can all agree that their track record with the video directs has been far better than that of their live presentations (lest we forget the ehh that was the January 2017 Switch event)

i'll be a happy camper if they show Animal Crossing, Super Mario Maker 2, and Astral Chain at E3. (with the latter two defiantly will be at E3) everything else is extra to me though.

Hm. I was sure after last year they said the opposite, that the video presentation wasn't doing its job.

Oooo. Maybe we will get another Metroid Prime 4 logo? (Sorry, that wasn't funny.)

@dcstud To be accurate, they only stated they would not be announcing hardware at E3. That still leaves plenty of opportunity for new hardware this year. Having said that, the current rumour-mill says that they are only planning a 'mini', with a pro version further off in the future.

A new video presentation? Since they like to do things at E3 differently every year, hopefully they return to the Digital Event format style. I really loved their unique format styles, even if the last one wasn't exactly well-recieved...

@NintendoByNature Yeah I hear you. With how much is already coming Q2-4 of 2019 I’m not expecting too much new to be revealed. Looking forward to some gameplay footage of Luigi and AC.

I’m sure there will be at least one big surprise though. By big I mean something from a franchise not already on Switch. Metroid, Pikmin, F-Zero... something like that. At least that’s what I hope.

@sanderev I'm looking forward to what they come up with for MM2!

Games we know about coming this year Luigi's Mansion 3,Animal Crossing,Mario maker 2, Pokemon, Fire emblem, Astral chain, Marvel ultimate alliance 3, Persona 5 S,Crash team Racing, Demon X. Its what we don't know about that will be exciting though. Note i only put games coming out after e3 so sonic racing doesn't count lol.

@NintendoByNature Pikmin 4

@NotTelevision I'll go with you there. I'd love to see Pikmin 4 and a new Excite Truck.

I always download the video presentation so I can quickly fast-forward all the boring stuff, like 20min of over-emotional JRPGs

How about giving us dates and times?

https://e3.nintendo.com/ says June 11-13. They typically do their "E3" on the Tuesday during E3 week, so I think it will be the 11th. The following days are likely treehouse lives. They also go for morning times, so probably around 9-10 Central.

How about a new Donkey Kong Country? I want a beautiful looking hard platformer. Yoshi's Crafter world is so easy that is boring, even though it is interesting to see the levels, I just don't have motivation to play it.

I think they'll focus on Animal Crossing like they did last year on Smash. Have like 1-2 new game announcements, new info on the known 2019 stuff and finish off with 20 minutes of Animal Crossing and then spend several hours of Treehouse Live with Animal Crossing.

@chardir I have been kind of following that. Was holding out for a "pro" version, but now I think this might be much further off. Time to finally get on the Switch bandwagon.

I've had a huge backlog of Wii U titles that I am plowing through so I haven't been in a huge rush. But there are a lot of really cool Switch titles I want to play.

I'm not expecting any big announcements at E3, but frankly, they can bookend the presentation with Link's Awakening and Animal Crossing, give us a deeper dive on Luigi's Mansion 3 and throw in some Pokemon and E3 will be a winner I reckon.

@NotTelevision I'm wjth you on that. Hoping for 1 big AHA moment with a franchise like Metroid, DK or what would be even better and ive been thinking about it for a while ...is a new star tropics game. Doesn't even need to be 3d. 2.5d would be cool.

It wont feel the same with out Reggie

It won't take much to impress me this year as i'm already happy with the line-up as it is (cannot wait for Luigi's Mansion 3 !) but Pikmin 4, Prime Trilogy HD and a new Paper Mario would all be very welcome.

I'd also like a few last 3DS games to be announced to send the system out in style, i'd especially like it to get a Wario Land game.

I love the live Treehouse days, with livechat.

@NintendoByNature They will show more of the titles announced, sure, but they will announce the second semester 3rd party titles too and some new fighters to smash. For sure, will be something good to watch.
