Today’s Nintendo E3 Direct included a new Resident Evil trailer, which revealed that two more games in the series are coming to the Nintendo Switch this fall. Those games would be Resident Evil 5, and Resident Evil 6. Here is the trailer:

In RE5, Umbrella and its viruses may have been taken care of, but a new catastrophe begins in Africa. Villagers are being turned into dangerously twisted, and aggressive creatures.

In RE6, some familiar fan-favorite characters return. They include Chris Redfield, Leon S. Kennedy, and Ada Wong. Alongside some new faces, they must contend with a new, terribly virulent threat: the C-virus. The story takes place in North America, Edonia (a war-torn Eastern European state), and the city of Lanshiang in China. Below are some screenshots from the Nintendo Direct:

Nintendo showed off a new trailer for Cadence of Hyrule in their E3 Direct presentation today. It shows a number of gameplay clips, and some of the game’s music of course. You can play as Cadence, Link, or Princess Zelda. Here is the trailer:

Cadence of Hyrule is a crossover of Crypt of the Necrodancer and The Legend of Zelda. Why? Because obviously it will move copies if you put the Zelda name on it. The game is set to release in two days on June 13th.

In Fire Emblem: Three Houses, war looms on the horizon in the land of Fódlan. The great Officers Academy is hosted within the headquarters of the Church of Seiros. The church keeps order in Fódlan, but it seems that is about to change for the worse. You have been invited to teach one of the three powerful houses. Each house is represented by a royal member from one of the three territories of Fódlan. You’ll need to lead your students to victory in turn-based battles of strategy, but first you’ll need to choose which house to serve.

The battles ahead will bring new twists for players to surmount, and your choice of which house to serve will greatly affect where you find yourself when the continent descends into war and chaos. Five years after studying together at the academy, former friends now separated by bitterness must face each other in battle amid the flames of war. The house and path you choose will determine your fate. Fire Emblem: Three Houses is set to launch on July 26th, 2019.

This, along with a number of Nintendo’s other first party games show one thing Nintendo is very good at: unique art styles. The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening remake was first debuted earlier this year. The new E3 trailer showed off a little more of the game, including one major new feature that Nintendo has added in. It seems that as you adventure your way around Koholint Island and through the dangers that lie ahead, you will earn chambers. Related to this, we saw a familiar character, good old Dampe the grave keeper (of Zelda: Ocarina of Time fame). You can visit him somewhere on the island, and use the chambers (which are dungeon rooms) you’ve unlocked so far to create and play custom dungeons it seems.

Presumably you will be able to share your custom dungeons online, but this was not shown in the trailer at all. In the trailer, we see a heart shaped dungeon being created. Beyond this, we did not get to see any other options, such as if and how you can change the dungeon’s shape and size. The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening is not far off. Mark your calendar and get ready to set out on your next adventure on September 20th, 2019! Lastly, here are a handful of screenshots of the game in action:

Nintendo showed a new trailer for Animal Crossing: New Horizons, showing off the game, some new mechanics, and the fact that the game takes place on a deserted island. The visuals are of course a significant step up from the last home console game (Animal Crossing: City Folk), especially since that was back on the Wii, not the Wii U. The trailer also showed off some new game mechanics, such as jumping over a stream using a pole and creating paths. We also see her growing a small garden and crafting things.

At the end of the Animal Crossing: New Horizons trailer, they show a number of human characters gathering at the beach, which of course suggests there are a number of playable characters to choose from. It’s either that, or you may have some human neighbors this time. The bad news, is that the game has been delayed until March 20th, 2020. And lastly, here are a few screenshots from the presentation:

Nintendo’s E3 Direct was full of exciting announcements for Nintendo Switch owners, and one of those announcements that kicked off the presentation was the next installment in the Luigi’s Mansion series, the appropriately titled Luigi’s Mansion 3.

Introduced by Nintendo of America’s new CEO, Doug Bowser, Luigi’s Manson 3 is set in a rather impressive looking hotel while Mario and company, Luigi included of course, decide to take a little vacation. To no one’s surprise, the hotel turns out to be haunted by more than a few of it’s former guests. Let’s hope Luigi doesn’t have a drinking problem and that ax from Super Mario Bros. isn’t lying around somewhere. All work and no play makes Luigi a dull boy.

Luigi will be aided in his new ghost hunting adventure by his brand new Poltergust G-00, which comes equip with some new abilities: Like the Slam function, allowing Luigi to damage the ghosts he’s trying to attack but sucking them in and bashing them against objects and even surrounding ghosts, as well as the Suction Shot, which deploys a plunger to objects and allows Luigi to pull on and destroy said objects in his way, the Burst function, which releases air from under Luigi allowing him to jump in the air as well as repelling near by ghosts, should they gang up on him, and finally the “Gooigi” function lets Luigi to make a gooey clone of himself to help fight ghosts as well as reach obstacles Luigi himself may not be able to. Gooigi is vulnerable to water however, so that’s something to keep in mind.

Like previous games, Luigi’s Manson 3 does seem to be a primarily single player experience but that doesn’t mean there isn’t a multiplayer component. For one, when Luigi makes use of the previously mentioned Gooigi function, a second player can grab the other Joycon and control him. In addition to that though, there is also a gameplay mode called The ScareScraper, which allows up to eight players (Four Luigi’s and their Gooigi counterparts) to play in co-op as they hunt ghosts and save lost Toads both locally and online.

So what do you think? Are you looking forward to next installment in Luigi’s ghost hunting adventures? If so you won’t have to wait too long, as Luigi’s Mansion 3 is planned for release later this year on the Nintendo Switch.

During the E3 2019 Nintendo Direct, Nintendo showed off a new trailer for the Platinum Games-developed Astral Chain. The trailer shows off a large amount of the combat in the upcoming action game, and the flashy techniques that players will be able to pull off together with their Legions.

The trailer can be seen here:

The trailer also teases some of the story, showing off some of the otherworldly environments where players will be engaging the various enemies. Players will be able to actively switch between different Legions for different combat styles to approach different situations, while fighting to protect what’s left of the human race.

Astral Chain is set to release on Nintendo Switch on August 30, 2019.

During the Super Smash Bros Ultimate tournament at the Nintendo World Championships just before E3, Masahiro Sakurai announced that the next DLC character would be revealed during the E3 2019 Nintendo Direct. However, what we got during the Direct was not one DLC character announcement, but two.

The first announcement was one teased by dataminers: the protagonist from Dragon Quest XI, known as The Hero:

In addition to the Dragon Quest XI protagonist, The Hero will have alternate costumes of the protagonists from Dragon Quest III, IV, and VIII, as well as several others appearing in his Final Smash. He also seems to have a unique MP meter, which he can consume by casting various spells.

The second character, revealed near the end of the Direct, was a long-awaited one: Banjo and Kazooie, from the now Microsoft-owned Banjo-Kazooie series:

The Banjo and Kazooie trailer is very similar to King K. Rool’s reveal, even using the same fake-out joke with Duck Hunt, only for Banjo to jump in before showing off what they can do in the game.

The Hero will be Challenger Pack 2 launching this summer, while Banjo and Kazooie will be added in the fall as Challenger Pack 3, both as part of the Super Smash Bros Ultimate Fighters Pass.

At the tail end of the E3 2019 Nintendo Direct, Nintendo had one more surprise for viewers up their sleeve: a teaser trailer providing a first look at the sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

You can watch the trailer here:

Unfortunately there’s not much to go on from this minute-and-a-half-long teaser trailer, and we don’t know anything concrete about the game aside from the fact that it’s a sequel to Breath of the Wild and that it will be released on the Switch; anything beyond that is just speculation. Based on the generally eerie tone of the trailer, it seems like the game may take on a somewhat darker tone than its predecessor, but again, ultimately we need to wait for more information.

At today’s Nintendo Direct it was announced that Panzer Dragoon would be hitting the Nintendo Switch. This fast-paced, on-the-rails shooter is one of SEGA’s classics and is remembered fondly from the Saturn era.
