Well, with Microsoft and Bethesda behind us now, it’s on to the main event: the Nintendo E3 2021 showcase. After confirming this year’s presentation earlier this month, we know we are in for 40-minutes of pure Nintendo Switch games and it all starts now. Be sure to catch up on our coverage of the all the biggest reveals in our E3 2021 hub, including last night’s notable Razer event that revealed ‘world’s most powerful’ RTX 3080 14-inch laptop (and much more), but it’s all about the Mushroom Kingdom and new Switch games right now. Head below for the Nintendo E3 2021 showcase.
Nintendo E3 2021 showcase
The Nintendo E3 2021 showcase is looking like it’s going to be a big one! Nintendo has already confirmed we would be seeing 40 minutes of upcoming Switch games followed by three hours of Nintendo Treehouse Live with gameplay from tiles in the showcase. That likely means we won’t be getting the new Switch Pro console everyone is waiting on, but you never really know for sure.
More of Mario Golf Super Rush, The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword remake, and hopefully at least something regarding the now fabled Metroid Prime 4 titles will be on the slate. The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild went on sale this morning and we are very much hoping to see something regarding the already announced sequel during today’s Nintendo E3 2021 showcase.
Watch the live stream below and check back after as we will be updating this post with all of the high-resolution trailers:
Tune in at 9 a.m. PT for a Nintendo Direct presentation, featuring roughly 40 minutes of information focused exclusively on Nintendo Switch games mainly releasing in 2021. Immediately after the Nintendo Direct, continue watching for around three hours of deep dives on gameplay for a handful of Nintendo Switch games in Nintendo Treehouse: Live.
