[dropcap]E[/dropcap]3 is the annual video games convention in California. For the first time the event will be open to the public. E3 is the second Christmas for every gamer in the world, with dozens of new announcements, gameplay footage and in-depth information about everyones favorite video games. Reggie, president of Nintendo North America has promised “we’re gonna have a big E3 this year”. The company will occupy an equal amount of space compared to Sony and Microsoft at the convention center in Los Angeles this year for the first time. Here are our Nintendo E3 Predictions.
Pikmin 4
Hey! Pikmin has just ben re-announced for the Nintendo 3DS with a first trailer and some more details. Pikmin 4 is in development for quite some time Miyamoto said, but no details have been given on the video game. It is safe to assume that it will be a Nintendo Switch game, and chances are we will hear more about it at this years Nintendo E3 event.
Likelihood – Hot ?
Smash Brothers Switch
Super Smash Brothers on the Nintendo 3DS has sold more than 8 Million copies since it’s release in October 2014, making the game the most popular releases in it’s franchise. Smash Bros would make a perfect fit on the Nintendo Switch with couch co-op as well as online multilayer options. A new Smash Bros on the Nintendo Switch is happening sooner or later, the question will be whether Nintendo is ready to announce the game yet or not.
Likelihood – Low
Animal Crossing Switch
Animal Crossing is one of the most beloved franchises on any Nintendo system. With the latest game released in 2012, Nintendo sold more than 10 Million copies and has managed to extend it’s fanbase by millions. It is sure that a new Animal Crossing will come to the Nintendo Switch. Reggie has also been making vague comments, further fueling the rumors. As he states “our philosophy at Nintendo is to have one great experience of each franchise on each console. So, in the future, who knows when – you can anticipate that all our big franchises will be addressed”. The last Animal Crossing release is more than 5 years ago, a new game could be teased at this years E3.
Likelihood – Medium
Animal Crossing Mobile
The Animal Crossing Smartphone app has been delayed several times. Now the app is left with no concrete release date. Rumors are emerging that Nintendo delayed the app in order to be able to announce it alongside a new Animal Crossing game on the Nintendo Switch. The developers have stated at the beginning, that the app would tie in with another Animal Crossing game which could be New Leaf, or a whole new experience on the Switch.
Likelihood – Medium
Zelda Breath of the Wild Expansion Details
The Zelda: Breath of the Wild Expansion Pass is currently on sale for $19.99 on the Nintendo eShop. While most details like a new difficulty and dungeons have been announced, Nintendo could further detail the pass, and perhaps add some more features to it. While this is a far stretch, Zelda fans can always hope!
Likelihood – Low
Metroid Prime
Fans of the series have been waiting for a new main series game a long time. The E3 could make a great opportunity to tease a new Metroid game for the Nintendo Switch. Nintendo had announced a spin off game of the beloved Metroid series at the E3 in 2015. Metroid Prime: Federation Force was released on August 19th of 2016 on the Nintendo 3ds, but never became as popular as the main Metroid Prime games. The game was received poorly with a Metacritic score of 64%.
Likelihood – Medium
Snipper Clips Expansion
Sniperclips: Cut it Out together is one of the best Switch launch titles. It brings people together, has an adorable look and is showcasing what the Nintendo Switch represents the best – from all games available so far. The game is still #1 on the eShop charts. However Snipperclips comes with only 61 stages which most of them can be completed rather quickly. Given the huge success of the game, it will be interesting to see if Nintendo plans to further support the game with a DLC pack. If you like you can read our review and take on Snipperclips here.
Likelihood – Medium
Pokémon Stars
The recently announced Pokémon on Nintendo Switch has been in the dark since Nintendo first put the Pokémon logo on the list of games coming to the new hybrid console. No details or further information have been given on the highly anticipated Pokémon game. Chances are Nintendo will use the E3 to tease the video game a little more.
Likelihood – Hot ?
Mario Odyssey
The game is set for a release this Holiday season, but all we have seen so far was a trailer and minimal details on the gameplay. Nintendo will most likely use it’s moment of fame at the E3 to further showcase the next installment in the Mario franchise.
Likelihood – Hot ?
3rd Party Developers
3rd Party developers will most likely use the E3 to highlight their latest Nintendo Switch games as well. Not much is known about the upcoming Story of Seasons on the Switch. Stardew Valley on the other hand is going to be released this Summer with a Multiplayer mode on Nintendos latest console.
Bethesda is expected to release some The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim footage running on the Switch. And last but not least Dragon Quest XI will be released on 3DS and Playstation 4 on July 29th with the Switch release a little later, it is possible that Square Enix, developer behind the game will show some first footage of the game running on the Switch.
Electronic Arts may show some more Fifa 18 gameplay, as they promised it will not be a port, but a dedicated game for the Switch, it may be exciting to see how EA adjusts the popular soccer game to the hybrid console! If appropriate we will update the list as we get closer to this years E3.

[dropcap]T[/dropcap]he Nintendo Switch is off to a successful start. With more than 900.000 Units sold in the U.S alone. Worldwide Nintendo managed to sell more than 2.4 Million consoles. Even Zelda: Breath of the Wild somehow managed to sell more Switch copies than actual Nintendo Switch consoles in North America. There is no doubt that Nintendo has the option to turn the downwards trend after the failure of the Wii U around.
The one and only important thing that can make or break a console is the video game lineup. The Switch started with one of Nintendos most anticipated and highest rated games of all time Zelda: Breath of the Wild. The first party game broke records on many levels, and was the main reason the Switch has sold as well as it did so far. There are many other 1st Party games in development like Splatoon 2, Arms, Pokemon and Mario Odyssey just to name a few. But hardcore gamers are starting to be concerned about the lack of 3rd party support – but does the Nintendo Switch really need extensive support from 3rd Party developers?
Looking at the Playstation 4 and Xbox One, two consoles in direct competition with PC gaming. These next-gen horsepower consoles are trying to get as many 3rd party developers signed up for their platforms as possible. Sony for example is getting games like Destiny or Call of Duty on board, which results in DLC packs to be released first on the Playstation 4, or time limited exclusive content. These kind of deals cane make a gamer swing in either direction when choosing a system.
Nintendo has always been a little different. If someone opts to buy a Nintendo System, one usually decides in doing so based on Nintendo video games. People don’t usualy chose a Switch or 3DS in hopes to get the best Skyrim or Fifa experience. People bought the 3DS for Pokemon, Animal Crossing, Zelda and so many other games that can only be found on Nintendo made systems. While some 3rd party developer support is necessary, do we really need Bethesda to bring Skyrim to the Switch? or is the port of the 2013 Payday 2 really going to make players more likely to buy into Nintendos eco system?
Electronic Arts has announced to bring Fifa 18 to the Switch, one of the most popular sport franchises in the world. Just like Skyrim and Payday 2 the soccer game will also be released on PC, Playstation 4 and Xbox One. Without a doubt players will most likely have a better experience playing those games on the other 3 systems than on the Nintendo Switch. Taking Bethesdas amazing Open World Game Skyrim as an example. The game has amazing mod support on the PC and runs like a charms on PS4 and Xbox One. There is little hope the Switch version can possibly exceed anyones expectations. Unfortunately it may even be the opposite, and all it can do, is make Nintendos latest hybrid console look weak and underpowered – just because the consoles strength is not the horsepower.
Gamers have the choice of multiple systems to play these kinda games and get a better experience than the Switch could ever offer. This does not mean the Nintendo Switch is a bad console, it’s simply not meant to compete with these sorta games. As mentioned earlier one buys into the Nintendo eco system for a whole different reason, than someone who opts to buy a PS4, Xbox One of gaming PC. Lego City Undercover was a perfect example of a game that released across all major platforms, and performed the worst on the Nintendo Switch. This was not necessarily driven by the weaker hardware, but was maybe also a lackluster port to the Switch. In the end the comparison videos all highlighted the Switch for underperforming compared to PS4 and Xbox One.
Switch owners, want the next best Animal Crossing, an amazing Pokemon, or a colorful fighting game like arms and Splatoon. This is where the console shines the most, and this where it can beat the competition. Releasing 3rd party games to put the Switch in direct competition with Sony and Microsoft seems like a social media disaster. Thinking of the comparison videos, that will unveil the lower frame rate, the lack of anti aliasing on the Switch and more, will hurt the reputation of Nintendos latest console. This is a shame because the focus should be on the niche Nintendo is covering. All the 3rd party exclusive games on Nintendo like Story of Seasons and Fantasy Life, these are the games from 3rd Party Developers that Nintendo needs to get on board.
Looking at the best selling videos games on the Nintendo 3DS of all time – we need to go all the way done to #12 – Monster Hunter by Capcom with 4 Million Units sold. That’s right the top 10 best selling video games on Nintendo 3DS are First Party Nintendo Games, and yet the console managed to sell 65 Million units.
Putting the Switch up against Sony and Microsoft is an unfair fight, and one that is only driven by 3rd party developer releasing hardware heavy games on a console that is meant to be the opposite of that. While a Skyrim port is welcome, it can not convince players to buy a Nintendo Switch because people opting to join Nintendos Eco System are looking for more than just a visually stunning game.
