And just like that, the E3 conferences are done for the year, or they will be once we’ve had our 40 Minute Nintendo Direct. A lot of mixed feelings this E3, can Nintendo deliver the magic that we come to expect? Here’s how their E3 Direct went.
Looks like first up is Smash Bro’s DLC. Who’s joining the battle now?
The Hero Draws Near. DragonQuest get representation in Smash Bros. There’s a huge Dragon Quest representation in Smash with seemingly 4 new characters. Summer 2019 they’ll be in the game.
And with that we’re onto a Dragon Quest trailer now. DragonQuest XI Echo of an Elusive Age S. It’s coming on September 27th.
We’re introduced to Doug Bowser in the form of a joke in the direct with Bowser wearing a tie and assuming he was to be in the direct.
Onto Luigi’s Mansion 3 now. No specific date, just available in 2019.
Next trailer has a Netflix logo in the bottom right corner. Looks like a Dark Crystal game, based on the new show? Dark Crystal age of Resistance tactics.
Straight to our next trailer, it’s Legend of Zelda: Links Awakening. Love the style of this. Looks like there is a dungeon creator mode included in this game? Chamber dungeons, explore them to your hearts content. Coming September 20th 2019

Oooh, Looks like Resident Evil for Switch is next? Appears to be Resident Evil Remake. 5 and 6 are coming to Switch.
A new game that I’m not familiar with or sure if it’s already been revealed is up next. A little later into the trailer it becomes clear it’s No More Hero’s related. It’s No More Heros 3, coming in 2020.

A shift in gears from Pokemon now. Another game I’m not familiar with us up next. Again perhaps something that may have already been revealed, but I’m seriously losing touch with my Nintendo reveals as of late. It’s Astral Chain due out on 30th August.
Next up is Empire of Sin coming in 2020.
