Ah shit, I just realized, when does this end? In 2 hours? Because over here in Pacific Time Smash Ultimate releases at 9PM.



Unfortunately won't be able to watch live because it starts at 4:30AM for me but will catch up on announcements the next day.



 



Around the Network

Microsoft prediction: Fallout 76 will be coming to game pass.
Microsoft will make another acquisition announcement.



Looking to be a pretty big show in terms of announcements.
We already know about the new Far Cry spinoff and Obsidian title, and many others, such as Crash Team Racing remake, mortal kombat XI, and Metroid Prime 4 are heavily rumored to be there. Should be an excellent show.



Bet with Intrinsic:

The Switch will outsell 3DS (based on VGchartz numbers), according to me, while Intrinsic thinks the opposite will hold true. One month avatar control for the loser's avatar.

Oh wow for some reasons i thought it was tomorrow night.
Well this is exciting then, i'm ready.



Hope Detroit got some wins. Game of the Gen.



It's currently 1:47 AM in Europe and the show will start at 2:30, I just hope Metroid Prime 4 will be shown
