Will Nintendo be big winners?
The Game Awards are here, a rather enjoyable annual event in which lots of games are praised, we roll our eyes at some annoying commercials, and many jokes are made in the live chat. It's a tradition we wouldn't miss for the world, and Nintendo has a good chance of winning lots of awards; perhaps there'll be a reveal or...

One more round
E3 is now in the homestretch as we gear up for one last day of Nintendo Treehouse demonstrations and (possibly) a reveal or two.

Watch Ubisoft's E3 2017 Press Conference Live Stream!
Maybe Mario will make an appearance...
In past years we've shown Ubisoft press conferences to joke about Just Dance and bask in the madness of it all, but with the Switch we're now on the lookout for a certain Rabbids / Mario crossover, Steep, Rayman Legends: Definitive Edition and (sigh) Monopoly. It should be entertaining, in one way or another...

Live Blog Watch the EA Play 2017 Press Conference - Live!
Sports! Shooting stuff! More sports!
For a number of years EA press conferences have carried little interest for Nintendo fans, but this year there might be something to see. FIFA 18 is the only current EA game confirmed for Switch, and it'll be interesting to see whether it's shown in any form, and whether any other games (perhaps...
