​

E3 2018 is closing in, and with Bethesda, Xbox, and other major companies announcing their plans and schedule for the yearly expo, it was only a matter of time before Nintendo revealed their upcoming schedule for the event. The main focus will be the newly announced Super Smash Bros. game for the Nintendo Switch, and details will be given to games that are planned for 2018. Anything beyond that will be shown at "a later date". Two tournaments will take place; the Splatoon 2 World Championships will occur before E3, and the Smash Bros. invitational competition will follow after their press conference.

The main Nintendo Direct E3 presentation will be broadcast live at 9 am PT, on June 12, and will feature major announcements. Afterwards, the Treehouse Live event will start, showing off developer interviews and more gameplay. Super Smash Bros. for the Switch will be playable to the public at Nintendo's booth in the Los Angeles Convention Center, and at the Nintendo World Store in New York.

Stay tuned, as GBAtemp will be attending the event live this June!

100% betting smash will be late summer release. They've clearly got *something* ready to show off there, 3/4ths of the event is focused on it.

They know people are thirsty for smash.
I love how everything just says "Hey smash is in there!! So you better watch it"

 

[souler92]

it would be a shame if they focused soo much on smash etc. and then after release its a huge disappointment.
i hope not ofcourse.. but I'm really scared its not going to be good

 

[orangy57]

guys you want smash bros right? do you want smash bros? guys look were putting smash bros in the direct! Did we mention that we're showing smash bros during our presentation?

Every year, for nearly a decade, I hope for news on a new Advance Wars game. And every year I get disappointed. Oh well. At least STEAM was good. I hope we get news on more new strategy IP's from Nintendo soon.

I just want Wargroove sooner rather than later. Definitely an Advance Wars successor.

SSB, SSB aaaand more SSB, seems there won't be that much about Metroid and Pokémon. I'm fine with that, because SSB.
Hopefully they say something about a upcoming Mario Party without car.

What's a Super Mario Aces? (it should get released after E3. E3 - 12 Juni. Aces - 22 Juni)

Literally all I want from E3 this year is the announcement of a remake or port of Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness from Nintendo GameCube to Nintendo Switch. Smash is cool, but this is my dream.

 

[Hells Malice]

Can confirm will force Chary to stand in line for 7 hours to play a Smash Bros demo

No, Colosseum, just so they can bring this back to new audiences.

 

[HaloEliteLegend]

I really hope there's some big announcements that AREN'T Smash 5. I'm not big into Smash, so it'd be nice if they had something for the rest of us

[Brigand]

Smash is cool and all, but I really do hope we can get some other big announcements.

I'd be happy if I never saw Miror B again in my entire life
but yea, Colosseum or/and XD would be great on Switch.
