E3 2021

The dust of E3 2021 has settled, and we have had a few days to begin processing all the announcements from this weeks events. While the event has caused console warriors to step up their games on social media, for average, level headed video game fans, last weeks festivities should have us all really excited for the future.

Prior to E3 2021, I gave three bold predictions about what titles we might see coming to the Nintendo Switch. If you had the chance to read the article, I predicted we would get a brand new Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle title, a brand new Pokémon Let's Go experience, and one or two GameCube / Wii / Wii U remakes on the Nintendo Switch. Going one for three isn't bad, but let's revisit my predictions and think about how stupid they really are!

E3 2021 is over! Was it the best E3 ever? Nope. Was it fun? Yep. But, who won? Did anyone win? Let’s talk about who the “winner” of E3 is! E3 2021 was alright. It wasn’t the best E3 ever. It wasn’t even the best game related event this year (those State of Plays and the Dragon Quest event rocked) but it did offer some surprises and delightful games. Xbox and Nintendo did good. Ubisoft and Square Enix were not…

Let’s admit it: E3 2021 hasn’t been great. And today’s Nintendo Direct wasn’t world changing but it was pretty good. Time to talk about Nintendo! Today’s Nintendo Direct is over! As I write this, the Nintendo Treehouse is airing and its showing…METROID DREAD. Yes a new Metroid game was shown during the Nintendo. And its a 2D Metroid game. Without a doubt, this was the most shocking part of the Direct. Yes, a 2D Metroid was rumored and speculated about…

Going into the Square Enix E3 event, I had two things I really wanted to see: the rumored Guardians of the Galaxy game and some Japanese Square games. Well, we got both but…let’s get into the event in the article! The rumored Guardians of the Galaxy game is real! Wow. And it looked awesome. I loved it so much. The graphics, the dialogue, the action, the adventure, THE SOUNDTRACK. I just want to play this game now. After that reveal…

The Xbox/Bethesda event was today and…well, actually it was really really good! Let’s talk about it! I had high hopes going into the Xbox/Bethesda event and guess what? They mostly delivered! I say mostly because I didn’t feel like there was anything too surprising during the event and they did make one misstep, which I will talk about later, but otherwise… The event started with Starfield. It was just a CGI trailer with no gameplay but it looked amazing. I…

Nintendo has been putting out digital, prerecorded shows for a good long while now, and have perfected the art of creating an entertaining show without leaving bored fans behind with endless explanations about single games. Unfortunately, others haven't found that out - both Geoff's Summer Game Fest and Ubisoft's own event were long, drawn out video experiences that left me with a bad taste in my mouth. So what has Nintendo done differently? Let's take a look.

Okay I was going to wait until tomorrow for the Xbox/Bethesda and Square Enix events to write more columns, but…I really need to talk about the Wholesome Direct. We just have to talk about the best E3 event so far! In case you missed it, you can check it out in the video below. Some of you may have missed the best E3 2021 event so far. It was not Summer Game Fest or Ubisoft Forward…no. It was… THE WHOLESOME…
