Nintendo managed to stuff plenty of trailers and reveals into their short 25 minute presentation at E3 this year–yet far not enough for many fans. Most of the titles revealed were set to release either during the holiday season of this year or 2018. The biggest bombshell they drop
After a decade of silence for the Metroid Prime series, Nintendo announced at E3 this weekend that Metroid Prime for is in development for the Nintendo Switch.

Gameplay was revealed for Super Mario Odyssey. Most notable was a revealed release date, 27/10/2017.
Footage for the first 2 DLC packs of Breath of the Wild were shown, as well as amiibos of the 4 champions. They’ll be titled The Master Trials and The Champion’s Ballad. Master Trials will be out 17/6/17 and Champion’s Ballad during the holiday season of this year.
