Nintendo’s showcase at E3 2018 is now complete, making a number of huge reveals in the process. The biggest of the presentation brought forward the Ultimate version of Super Smash Bros., with the game packing a seriously awesome roster. We also saw the official unveiling of Super Mario Party as well the long-rumored Switch port of Fortnite. Check out the full recap of trailers from Nintendo E3 2018 below.
Daemon X Machina
“Metal mecha madness” is a pretty great way to describe Marvelous Games’ next title Daemon X Machina, with the stylish action game being the first title announced during Nintendo E3 2018. Based on the released footage, the mega-weapon-wielding, machine-battling experience instantly calls comparisons to the Armored Core series, which isn’t too surprising with Armored Core series’ Kenichiro Tsukuda on board producing the game.
Xenoblade Chronicles 2 – Torna: The Golden Country DLC
A prequel DLC is on the way for Xenoblade Chronicles 2 titled Torna: The Golden Country. Revealing the first footage for the content, the new story is set 500 years before the main game and revolves around the epic battle between Aegis. A deep dive into the game’s lore is sure to be had, as well as the adventure’s gorgeous visuals that Xenoblade fans are accustomed to. Torna: The Golden Country arrives to Xenoblade Chronicles 2 for the Nintendo Switch on September 21st.
Octopath Traveler
“Eight travelers. Eight adventures. Eight roles to play in a new world brought to life by Square Enix. And now, you can enjoy the first chapter of each in the new demo available June 14th on Nintendo eShop. Step into the shoes and live the stories of each of the eight travelers and explore the world of Orsterra. Then, carry your choices and adventure into the main game, once purchased, with save data transfer. Choose the path you wish to walk and discover what lies beyond the horizon.” Octopath Traveler is set to arrive on July 13th for Nintendo Switch.

A new Mario Party game has been a notable exclusion on the Nintendo Switch, but now it’s time for Super Mario Party to shine. Revealed in a new trailer, all the fun mini-games fans have come to expect are now in the current generation, taking advantage of the system’s portable hardware and considerable motion controls. Friendships, prepare to be ruined.
Overcooked 2
Per the video’s description: “Overcooked 2 is serving up more chefs, more kitchens, more recipes, more co-op madness and even more Kevin with the second helping of concentrated co-op chaos! Buddy up or go it alone as you cook up a storm, chopping, steaming and frying your way through dynamic and outright crazy levels. Now with online multiplayer for up to four chefs, there is no such thing as too many cooks and the steaks have never been higher as you prepare to save the Onion Kingdom… Again.” Overcooked 2 will launch on August 7th for Nintendo Switch.
Killer Queen Black
“Killer Queen Black is an intense multiplayer action/strategy platformer for up to eight players. Fly solo, or team up with three of your friends as you race to complete one of three possible victory conditions. Killer Queen Black, a new take on the arcade eSport Killer Queen, has been rebuilt from the ground up and optimized for console. The gameplay is immediately recognizable and familiar, yet it introduces exciting new twists and online play for the home audience.” The game is expected to hit Nintendo Switch this Winter.
Fire Emblem: Three Houses
The fan-favorite Fire Emblem series is back in a new entry Three Houses, surprising many with it’s new visual style. The trailer features a look at the traditional tactical combat, but the game also sports a more realistic feel than seen in previous games. The more realistic approach stretches from the fully-animated cutscenes to the gameplay, ensuring a pretty unique experience for fans.
Fortnite
As the battle royale title is among the most popular games in the world right now, it’s no surprise to learn that Fortnite has indeed been confirmed for Nintendo Switch. The reveal gave fans a sizzle reel of all the fun gamers have to look forward to, as the free game went live on the Nintendo eShop shortly after the Nintendo E3 2018 presentation aired.
Hollow Knight
Hollow Knight, which was originally release in February 2017, made its Nintendo Switch debut today. To celebrate the joyous occasion, the Big N released a wonderful launch trailer, as well as the following description:
“Forge your own path in Hollow Knight for Nintendo Switch! An epic action adventure through a vast ruined kingdom of insects and heroes. Explore twisting caverns, battle tainted creatures and befriend bizarre bugs, all in a classic, hand-drawn 2D style.
Includes all of the new items, areas, characters, and bosses from the currently released free content packs; Hidden Dreams, The Grimm Troupe, and Lifeblood. All players will also get access to the final free content pack, Gods and Glory, due later this year.”
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Nintendo’s showcase of Super Smash Bros. was likely the highlight of the show with the reveal of the most comprehensive version of the fighting game ever made. Every fighter since the series began is returning in the upcoming Switch game, meaning the likes of one-off fighters such as Snake from Metal Gear Solid are available to compete once again. The new version will feature fresh gameplay tweaks and many of the series’ classic fight stages, but the biggest surprise came in the form of Metroid villain Ridley who joins the roster after over a decade of fan demand.
