There’re certainly likely to be some smaller, indie style games that fit that bill and possibly even some new third party announcements.

#NINTENDO SWITCH PRO E3 SERIES#
Of course, there is every chance Nintendo will have brand new games to show at E3 that are not part of an existing series and haven’t been leaked yet. The only problem is that doesn’t help to guess whether it’ll be at E3 or not. Except it’s not even really a rumour, as series Shinya Kumazaki himself has spoken publicly about the ‘next phase’ of the Kirby series. Nintendo knocks out new Kirby games far more frequently than any of its other franchises, so this is the one no-brainer amongst all the rumours. Whatever is going on the rumour is the game is nearly finished, since franchise creators Intelligent System only worked as advisers on Three Houses – whereas most of the development was done by Koei Tecmo. Fire Emblem has seen many remakes over the years and it’s not clear how much this would stick to the original design or if it would turn it into something closer to Three Houses. There have been a lot of rumours about what the next Fire Emblem might be but the most convincing is a remake of SNES entry Genealogy Of The Holy War. Half-Life 3 rumours begin again thanks to Gamescom - and they might just be true

If it’s not due out until January it presumably will have some sort of Switch Pro compatibility, so it could be shown off in that context. Nintendo generally don’t spend too much time on Pokémon at E3, but this open world 3D game is an important release whose initial appearance left a lot of unanswered questions. These remakes of Diamond and Pearl, along with Pokémon Legends, recently announced their release dates – in November and January – but didn’t show any new footage, which suggests Nintendo might be holding it back for E3. Remasters already exist for the Wii U, so they’d take very little extra work, and it’s probably a case of if, not when, they appear on Switch. The Legend of Zelda : Skyward Sword HDĭue out on July 16, this Wii remaster of one of the most controversial Zelda entries is unlikely to take up too much time at E3… unless a remaster of The Wind Waker and/or Twilight Princess is announced at the same time. Nintendo are likely to give it some screen time, although there probably isn’t much more to say now other than it looks surprisingly good. The only confirmed summer release Nintendo has at the moment, this will launch on June 25, a couple of weeks after E3.
