Nintendo E3 2017: Switch Games, News, And Everything From The Press Conference

Here's everything we're hearing from the Nintendo press conference.

94 Comments

Nintendo was the final company to host an E3 2017 press conference this year, but Tuesday's broadcast was a noteworthy one. While not nearly as long as Sony or Microsoft's respective briefings, there were big announcements, including that of a new Pokemon RPG for Switch and Metroid Prime 4. Nintendo's E3 Presentation was followed immediately after by Nintendo's Treehouse livestream, which brought word of another Metroid game that's on the way, this one for 3DS.

You can find all of our coverage of the event below. You can also check out our Nintendo press conference liveblog and roundup of all the Nintendo trailers. For our complete E3 2017 coverage, head to GameSpot's E3 hub for all of our news, videos, and impressions.

@DrYuya: I felt the same way in my edgy teenage/college years (don't know if you are one or not, and this is honestly not an attack, just a statement). Amusingly, I think I appreciated Nintendo when I was little and only cared about fun, and in the last few years, when again I only care about fun. The years in between, games had to be "epic", "serious", "breathtaking", or "competitive" to make me enjoy. Not anymore though. I don't have much free time, and I'd rather just chill and have fun when I'm playing. I guess that's the hook for most people, if it helps you understand :)

Nintendo announcing Metroid: Samus return is awesome news, it's kind of a remake of the original NES Metroid game. I'm just kind of concerned here after what i've heard WHAT Tanabe said about Metroid 4 for SWITCH.

“Personally I’d like to create a story centering around Sylux and Samus. We’ve done a story based on the Hunters, and this time around we’re doing a story on the Galactic Federation. I would like to cross the two over in the future. And of course see a little more of Samus.”

First of all, Sylux while mysterious, is a lil bit overrated, i would love seeing an origin story for Samus and know a little bit more about the bird-like Aliens the Chozos. I think a story about how Samus came to be is more interesting and creative than go after a random Bounty hunter.

AND ONE MORE THING: The game's name is Metroid, for what?? Is it imply that all the adventures of Samus the bounty hunter will be related to those stupid Metroid all over the galaxy??

@mannyc5: Metroid: Samus Returns is actually a remake of the GameBoy game Metroid II: Return of Samus, not the NES Metroid.

Anyone else having a problem watching the full Nintendo video from yesterday? When I tried last night to click on the link from the calendar page (https://www.gamespot.com/e3/schedule/) I kept getting pushed to the live feed of Phil Spencer. When I try now, I get a page with "Börk Börk Börk! Let’s meke-a pancakes." On it.

I liked it but I was hoping for the announcement of the date for the localized version of Monster Hunter XX, although I know is not pretty popular here :S.

It doesn't seem like a LOT until you consider that all of these games are due for THIS year... kinda glad they didn't go the Sony route of announcing games we won't see until 2020.

@Elranzer: most of the games on the Sony list say 2017, 2018 release. This list can't be justified it's pretty poor considering the switch has 5 odd decent games on it.

I was pretty disappointed by the Metroid Prime 4 announcement until they redeemed themselves by adding Samus Returns.

Looking at Super Mario Odyssey, I bet I could spend more time playing it than I have with Zelda: BotW. If that's possible.

The amiibo offerings are pretty neat, but too bad there will be no hope in getting them. You still can't get the BotW amiibo except on the secondary market. They need to up production, especially with GameStop downsizing their amiibo sections in the wake of the Animal Crossing failure.

Can i just remind you before you get excited... they annouced that they JUST STARTED development of metroid prime 4. We won't see it till 2020 or later.

Dont be excited about that. Thats stupid as hell. Announcing that they just started developing metroid and pokemon for the swtitch while the rest of the convention is showing upcoming games is nothing to brag about. Only shows how little they have to offer.

@boodleout: They showed 4 games to be released this year and two which are in development which are TBC which is very similar to what every other dev was showing. I get it, you don't like Nintendo, but that's an odd thing to get salty about.

@boodleout: A lot of people are bitching about the WiiU ports and here you are asking for more. It has nothing to do with being fan boys, it's simply a matter of opinion. Also, E3 is for moving gaming forward and giving us awesome new stuff to look forward to. F the VC. No one else dropped a bomb like 2 Metroid games either.

@boodleout: xenoblade chronicles X would have me happy, hopefully it won't take long but I have serious doubts. Nintendo 64 VC took ages for wii u.

@boodleout: Here we go.....

What great games did Sony or MS show? I am a big Sony fan, but they did not have an impressive conference. MS had a bit better conference than Sony. All the conferences had a few cool games, but Nintendo deserves to win because of Metroid.

@doctorstone89: It is quite funny. Certain people will never respect Nintendo even though the marketing continues to get better for The Switch. They would rather continue to bash Nintendo even though many of their games are fun for all ages.

@Cashmoney007: you're just an out of touch fan boy, if someone was a big god of war fan and the game was previously unannounced would Sony have won for showing a simple god of war logo? To some fan boys of Sony, yes. Look I've got a switch and I wasn't overly impressed. They had a good conference and a lot of great names were announced but at the same time the console has been released with yet again a severe lack of games. It's promising but until I see the result Nintendo hasn't won anything.

I'm anxious about the Amiibos now. I searched daily for those last Zelda ones and by the time they suddenly and without warning went up for sale, they were gone. Sell them or don't, but quit with the fake shortage crap.

I enjoy tig ol pixel bitties as much as the next nerd, but the heroine in XC2 looks extremely weirdly shaped. Almost like Monolift just updated Lara's character model from the first Tomb Raider; a stick with funbags. Won't stop me from buying the game, but still... they really went full anime on this one.

Every time I see an article that is "blank" game is not coming to switch, I just want to say that metroid, Zelda, Mario, xenoblade, etc... not coming PS4, X1, and pc.

And now that rocket league coming with skyrim, then my PS4 will be collecting dust for quite a while.

@huehuebrbr: You ever visited IMDB? I hate that place with a passion, inaccurate scores and morons rating 1-2 stars for stupid reasons on some good stuff. Guess that's all reviews for ya in a nutshell with all entertainment, it's all subjective.

Very short presentation but, what they did show was pretty good. Metroid was all I wanted to hear. No Metroid, no buy is what I've been saying. Yeah it could be years off like they did with Zelda and it's not the side scroller I wanted but at least they are working on a Metroid! Super Mario Odyssey looks like a lot of fun too.
