There were a lot of announcements this year at Electronic Entertainment Expo. With so many new games coming out, it's getting hard to keep track. This is a short, quick list of the things I thought were important. If you want to know absolutely everything that happened at E3, here's a long list.
Nintendo.
"Pokemon" Gold and Silver Rerelease.
"Pokemon" Gold and Silver are coming to the Nintendo 3DS (this September) as Virtual Console titles. Like "Pokemon" Red, Blue, and Yellow," Gold and Silver will be compatible with the wireless features of the 3DS.
"The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim" Release On the Nintendo Switch.
Along with VR, "Skyrim" is also getting another release on the Nintendo Switch this year. Look forward to exploring the world of "Skyrim" on the go, while using motion controls. The Nintendo Switch release also includes new "Legend of Zelda" items, as well as all official add-ons and Amiibo Support.
Mario is back in a new title on the Nintendo Switch. Releasing in October, you can join Mario in his mission to disrupt Bowser and Princess Peach's wedding. Expect new power-ups and new worlds to explore.
"Metroid Prime 4" Is Currently in Development.
After literal years, "Metroid" is getting a new title. "Metroid Prime 4" is currently being developed for the Nintendo Switch. The bad news is that there's currently no release date.
Coming in 2018, Kirby is getting a new 2D platformer for the Nintendo Switch. It also looks like we're getting some 4-player co-op action.
Microsoft.
Xbox One X: New Microsoft Console
Microsoft announced that Xbox One X will launch November 7th for $499. With backwards compatibility and 4K gaming, the Xbox One X is an impressive (and expensive) gaming monster.
It's been 7 years, but "Crackdown" is finally getting a new sequel. Backed by the amazing Terry Crews, "Crackdown 3" features Microsoft-Azure mass destruction (everything in the game can be destroyed). Coming November 7th.
Sony.
A new open-world apocalyptic game from Syphon Filler's SIE Bend Studio, "Days Gone" has some scary looking zombie-hunting action.
The "God of War" series is getting a reboot, but instead of being based off Greek mythology, it's based off of Norse mythology. Follow Kratos and his son on a bloody adventure in 2018.
"The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim" VR.
"Skyrim" is coming to the Playstation VR, complete with motion controls. Comes in November.
Multi-platform.
Bioware's new 2018 title is an action RPG with customizable exosuits and beautiful graphics. The game will include co-op multiplayer in its massive open world.
"Star Wars Battlefront 2" apparently contains a new single-player campaign mode as well as much more content than the last game. It'll be available November 17th.
"Minecraft" is finally getting universal severs for Xbox, PC, mobile, and Nintendo Switch. There will also be a 4K update later this year.
"Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus."
The new "Wolfenstein" game looks great. Lots of action and violence. Be prepared to kill some Nazis on October 27th.
A new gameplay trailer was released at E3, and another will be shown at the D23 expo on July 15th. Still no release date...
