NINTENDO
Tuesday June 13th, 2017
12:00pm EST / 9:00am PST

Officially announced games -

• Super Mario Odyssey
• ARMS
• Splatoon 2

Others Nintendo games announced for Switch, but not confirmed to show -

• Zelda: Breath of the Wild DLC
• Xenoblade 2
• Fire Emblem Warriors
• Fire Emblem Switch (This is the least likely to be shown)

Rumored upcoming Nintendo games -

• Super Smash Bros 4 Switch Port
• Pokemon Stars: This is supposedly an expanded version of Pokemon Sun/Moon.
• I listed Mario x Rabbids: Kingdom Battle in the Ubisoft section, but it's probably worth mentioning here too.

Additional notes -

• Monster Hunter Generations Generations Switch Version was announced for the Switch. If it's coming over, this would probably be the right time to announce it.
• Retro has not released a game in a very long time.
• Platinum is making a game for Switch. It's unclear where that is in development.
• Koei Tecmo implied they had a second Switch exclusive. Hyrule Warriors port maybe?
• Square Enix/Silicon Studio's Project Octopath Traveler is quite likely in a showable state.
• I'm not sure if Shin Megami Tensei: New Project is actually very far along in development.
• No More Heroes 3 was announced for the Switch at the system's unveil, but it sounded like it had just started development.
• Nintendo will be holding E3 tournaments for Splatoon 2 and ARMS.
• Beyond the above games, there's a wide variety of other third party games that could be shown ranging from AAA ports to multiplatform Japanese games to a huge variety of indie titles. Nintendo is less predictable than most in terms of what they show from third parties, especially when their games aren't at least hypothetically exclusive.
• There was also a rumor about a SNES classic, though it's worth noting that the NES classic was announced on a random day instead of E3.

Have you checked out Fast RMX? Very comparable to F-Zero.

I want to see either NBA or FiIFA in action on Switch. Or both.

Me too, but I'm worried that in typical EA style, the Switch will get a bastardized version of FIFA.

I read somewhere on here that it's going to be relatively the same as consoles but with a different engine and no Journey mode.

Not sure that'd really be EA's fault. Look at how simple NBA Playgrounds is and even it was noticeably degraded on the Switch. Anything close to even last-gen FIFA would be a commendable effort by EA.

I'm fine with Switch not being a full console...took me a bit to get there, but playing Zelda made me realize it can have amazing games still...

With how it's selling 3rd parties will slowly start making more and more games
