You say tomato, I say tomato 

"¡Viva la Ñ!"

Around the Network

looking forward to seeing more ARMS especially

maybe something new announced for 3DS, I don't see there being any Switch reveals



Nice. Hope to see some form of bundle announced, the console is still quite annoying to find in stores. Also, with MK8, Splatoon 2 and ARMS, they'll have to talk about their online services.



You know it deserves the GOTY.

Come join The 2018 Obscure Game Monthly Review Thread.

OHHH yeah



The Democratic Nintendo fan....is that a paradox? I'm fond of one of the more conservative companies in the industry, but I vote Liberally and view myself that way 90% of the time?

I know it'll be Splatoon 2/ARMS focused but I hope there are some surprises in there, not really interested in those games tbh.

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Nice, been dying to get more Splatoon info!



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

Finally....

Finally! Kind of a long wait.Hopefully some surprise ports that will release sooner rather than later. A sneak peak at VC would be cool too.



I hope they focus more on what they have already announced for Switch and 3DS, so that they can give more time at E3 towards new unannounced games (particularly for Switch). My main worry right now is that their E3 event will not have much else new and it will just provide more details for things announced at the January event (I mean I do expect more details on games releasing this year; but I also want a few good surprises for 2017 and 2018 for the Switch).
