Haven't read the whole thing yet but I'll post it here for you guys anyway.

Looking at the E3 floor plan you wouldn't guess Microsoft have a new console to show off.

It almost looks as though Bethesda have a larger area of the show floor

E3 2017 floor plan.

Nintendo might've reserved the theater too apparently.

As much as I loved Directs (RIP Iwata) I really hope they go back to conferences. Especially with the general public being allowed in this year.



Oh yeah there's this battery test too.

It's not impossible that the theater possibly reserved for Nintendo isn't for a conference, but instead is for a tournament. They've had them before in the past few years, as it isn't entirely impossible that they'd go down that path again and then just doing a Direct to streamline all of the major news to come out of E3. I don't think it'll be like Zelda from last year, but I don't think it will be a presser. Plus, I'd assume that they would do it at another place in LA like what Microsoft and Sony have done in the past.

Probably a mistake but my local Walmart has a pair of Joy-Con in their game case!!!

Reportedly WalMart puts their stuff out SUPER early but it's cash register locked (aka can't buy it till 3/3).

Super pumped, Amazon should be shipping my Switch and BotW tomorrow...

This article lovingly highlights how Nintendo always just have that extra little 'je nes said quoi' (aka MAGIC!) to the feel of their hardware, that nobody's ever seems to match. I can honestly see the Switch being the true turning-point for the industry against the diminishing returns approach of MOAR GRAFIX R EVERYTHING for Scorpio and PS4 Pro.

Nintendo held a showcase of multiple Indie games that are coming out this year, which includes the likes of Shovel Knight, Overcooked, Yooka Laylee, Runner 3 and much more.

First few minute spoilers but that shouldn't deter anyone.

Sounds good. E3 will probably show a lot.

Been reading reviews and Zelda seems to be getting 10s across the board while the Switch itself isn't getting great reviews. Still on the fence. I'll go out Saturday seeing if they have any. Doubtful though since it comes out tomorrow. I was always under the impression March 3rd was a Saturday

Zelda looks amazing. I didn't preorder (mainly due to funds) so I'll prob wait until Mario comes out and buy them both. But man, I'm watching Giantbomb's Quick Look and its crazy beautiful.

Come on Nintendo, even the 3DS had this feature...

I just hope this changes before I would have a need for it. Thank god im getting a protective case with my Switch. First time I ever felt the need to get one for a Nintendo portable.

So.... I ordered 1 Pro Controller from the Official UK Nintendo Store and it arrived today...

along with another one in a separate box, but with the exact same shipping and order numbers on it?! Checked my account, and I've definitely only been charged once. Someone made a boo boo at the warehouse!!!



First impression is that it looks a lot smaller than the images online had me believe, but guys it honestly just feels SO LOVELY in your hands! I'm a PS4 gamer by nature, but I can already tell I'm going to much prefer this to the (admittedly great) dualshock 4. That right stick position is really sweet.

I'm really glad that it's charging up now to already be ready, but man it's gonna feel like a long wait until the console & Zelda arrive in the morning!

Oh sorry i have routed the shipment to my address, but please enjoy that pro controller
