We knew that Nintendo would have Smash Bros for the Nintendo Switch this year. We knew that for sure. But what else did Nintendo show? Well…not a lot…but hey, Smash Bros looks amazing!

Not by Smash Bros, it looked great, but by the lack of…

Super Mario Party will be landing on Nintendo Switch on October 5, and the game looks to be bigger and better than ever before. Here are a few things we learned from the brief trailer shown during the Nintendo Direct!

Farming Simulator 19 is being shown off at this years E3, and the good people at Giants Software have just released another trailer detailing the biggest new addition to the franchise: John Deere.

EA, Microsoft, and Bethesda have all had media conferences now. Today, at noon, was Square Enix’s turn. I watched the event and…well…it could have been better. A lot better. Square Enix did not hold a press conference today. Instead, they had a video. It was basically like a Nintendo Direct. A poor man’s Nintendo Direct… Game after game was shown by Square Enix with very little extra talking. Unfortunately, there were very little surprises too. We knew about most of…

Last night, Bethesda had their E3 press conference. They made many announcements, but my favorite was Fallout Shelter for the Nintendo Switch. I knew what the game was, vaguely, and thought it might be interesting. The fact that the game was free and that it came out last night excited me even more. I downloaded the game and I've had the chance to play it some. Here are my first impressions of Fallout Shelter for Nintendo Switch.

The last few Mario Tennis titles have been a bit of a let down, but Mario Tennis Aces was looking to be the re-awakening of the franchise. For the last 4 or so days, we have been taking Mario Tennis Aces for a spin, and are enjoying it so far. While some aspects of the game may grow tiresome after we play it for weeks on end, after a few days, everything is still feeling fairly fresh. The biggest reason why we were excited about Mario Tennis Aces was the previously announced Adventure Mode. And we have some details for you!

Nintendo dropped another Mario Tennis Aces trailer ahead of the games launch later this month, and not only was it a good trailer, but it introduced a new gameplay mechanic as well. You can see the full trailer below, and past that, we touch on the new mechanic: Challenging the referee!
