E3 leaves us, it has been short but intense, however, we were not going to say goodbye without telling you all the news that the great N of Japan had left us ... right? That is why we are going to make a small summary of what they presented to us last night at their online event, where an old acquaintance was seen, and another who was not so. Without a doubt, Nintendo Switch was the main protagonist of this event.
Starting from the assumption that the Nintendo Spotlight (as the Nintendo event at E3 is called) is itself pretty decaf, We cannot ignore the great work that the Japanese firm is doing in recent months, despite the fact that the little trickle of games on Switch is weighing on its progression.
Metroid Prime 4 ... a lot of intrigue
We start with a classic without parallel, Metroid returns to Nintendo, comes to Switch with an intriguing trailer in which the only thing we have seen is a huge four and the name of the game, making it clear that it is in development and that it will arrive in 2018 ... But why so little information?
Pokemon Tournament DX for Nintendo Switch
They warned us that there would be Pokémon on Nintendo Switch, and the Japanese firm was not going to be so careless not to take advantage of the goose that lays the golden eggs. The game It will hit the console on September 22 and it promises to be a peculiar RPG with an important factor in terms of battles.
Super Mario Odyssey is back
Mario's three-dimensional game It will also arrive on the console on October 27, much earlier than expected and taking advantage of a classic era of new releases. We have been able to see a huge dinosaur that has left us shocked, and that has little or nothing to do with the theme that has been accompanying the good Mario so far. However, travel between dimensions and apparently also in time are going to have a more important draft than we could imagine. It is true that we have finally been able to see the game at its best, that is, what the game will be like gameplay real, and is everything you could expect, a kind of Super Mario 64 properly renovated. If we have something clear, it is that we are not going to save Peach permanently.
Rocket League comes to Nintendo Switch
We have absolutely nothing to present in this video game that is causing a furor on each platform that arrives. Without a doubt, Nintendo Switch can be a perfect companion for Rocket League, and how could it be otherwise, will have exclusive objects and vehicles that will make references to the Nintendo universe. Its portable feature will give a new meaning to Rocket League, What we are not very clear about is how it will work, despite the fact that they ensure a inter-platforms (You can play against PC or PS4 users for example). We imagine that the online mode is not going to be limited only to Nintendo Switch users. Without a doubt, we have to give him an important vote of confidence. Will arrive in winter of this year 2017, we imagine that at Christmas.
Xenoblade Chronicles 2
Once more a very interesting RPG that comes to a Nintendo platform. In this case, they have not made a too spectacular graphic display, which is to be expected from the power of the console, in short. However, its impressive world has left us quite fascinated. It will be a matter of waiting for more indications, although they have left us an aperitif in the form of turn-based combat and quite glossy instant action. They haven't provided any kind of release date beyond winter 2017, so we resign ourselves while they are in development.
