Coming in 2018! Wether this is an all-new game or a definitive edition of the Wii U version with even more content has yet to be announced.

In addition, there were several announcement made for upcoming 3DS titles, a purchase rewards program and DLC for Splatoon 2 and ARMS.

So anything announced that you've got your eye on? Let's discuss!

I am so fucking hyped for DS remastered and Smash. Cant wait!

I had a hard time getting into Dark Souls on PS3, but I think I went the wrong way or something and move on to something else. I'll surely give it another look on Switch though.

I don't really care if Smash is a new entry or ultimate edition of the Wii U version. There was so much content already on the Wii U that just adding more to that would make it seem like a new game. BOTW Link, Splatoon and ARMS characters are a shoe-in for additions.

I have DS1 on pc, but spent my first 20hours going the wrong way and getting absolutely demolished. Now I dont wanna start again and emulate a controller all over again.

Great news update! Thanks!

Was a complete stonker of a direct! I was happy with the Crash and Okami HD announcements and obviously Smash is great news although it was a big fat tease!
I wish Luigi's Mansion was a dual release for Switch and also wished there was some Virtual Console news...

I'm really hoping that they drop VC news at E3, including the addition of the GameCube library.

Yeah, I'm hoping that it ties in with the launch of the online service! :)

Cracking post what a great read thanks for this :) ,
