Nintendo Switch E3 2019: Every trailer from Nintendo's E3 Direct

Nintendo kicked off its Direct by announcing the next DLC character for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Some time this summer, we'll see the Hero from the Dragon Quest series join the Ultimate roster, with different skins based on a variety of Dragon Quest protagonists. Nintendo has a pretty long history with the Dragon Quest franchise, but even regardless of that, the Hero's appearance in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate makes a lot of sense when you consider the next game on this list.

One of the first-party games slated to launch on Switch this year, Luigi's Mansion 3 will task the taller of the two Mario Brothers with exploring a haunted hotel. The trailer you see below introduces us to some of the new tools Luigi will have at his disposal along with giving us our first look at Gooigi. Luigi's Mansion 3 still doesn't have a solid release date yet, outside of that previously-announced 2019 window.

We figured that we'd get some kind of update on the incoming remake of Link's Awakening during E3, and it turns out we were right. Nintendo delivered a lengthy trailer for Link's Awakening during E3 2019, which among other things revealed the Chamber Dungeon – a special feature that allows players to arrange room layouts to complete objectives. The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening will launch on September 20th, 2019 alongside a special Link amiibo that's compatible with the game.

While you wait for Trials of Mana, you might want to check out Collection of Mana. The compilation collects the first three games in the Mana series, so if you're unacquainted with the franchise as a whole, this seems like a good place to start. Even better is the fact that it's available from the eShop now for $39.99.

Fire Emblem: Three Houses is another first-party Switch game that's on the horizon, but unfortunately, we didn't get to see more gameplay during the game's Direct segment. Still, the trailer that we received does a good enough job of building excitement for Fire Emblem: Three Houses, and we're definitely looking forward to seeing if the series can successfully make the jump to the Switch when it releases on July 26th.

Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes isn't even six months old yet, but already Grasshopper Manufacture is onto what's next for the franchise. We'll see Travis return to Santa Destroy after 10 years in No More Heroes 3, but beyond that, the trailer doesn't give very much away. There's plenty of time to learn more, though, as No More Heroes 3 isn't out until 2020.

If the announcement of a new Contra game has you feeling nostalgic, then you're in luck. Konami also announced the Contra Anniversary Collection on the heels of Rogue Corps, which bundles together 10 Contra games including the original Contra and Super C. The collection is available now on the eShop for $19.99.

One of the big surprises to come out of Nintendo's E3 show was the announcement of a Panzer Dragoon remake. We don't hear much from the Panzer Dragoon series the days, but back in the Sega Saturn era, it managed to build itself a pretty decent following of fans. Forever Entertainment promises improved graphics and controls that still stay true to the original in this remake, so we'll see if the finished product backs those claims up when the game launches this winter.

It may have been a bit strange to see John Romero's studio pop up in a Nintendo Direct, but the game he's working on with Obsidian Entertainment definitely seems like an intriguing one. Empire of Sin is the name of the game, and in it, you'll have navigate your way through Chicago's prohibition-era criminal underground. Empire of Sin is out in spring 2020, and we're definitely looking forward to seeing more.

This is another game that was a sure bet for Nintendo's E3 show, but what's most surprising is that Nintendo confirmed Cadence of Hyrule is launching this week. Cadence of Hyrule is a Zelda-themed spin-off to Crypt of the NecroDancer, which itself is a rhythm-based rougelike game. It that made your ears perk up, then good news: You'll be able to check out Cadence of Hyrule when it launches tomorrow.

After teasing the game a year ago, Nintendo finally gave us a look at the upcoming Animal Crossing title for Nintendo Switch. Dubbed Animal Crossing: New Horizons, this time we're heading to a deserted island to build our animal-filled towns. Unfortunately, this first look at gameplay also came with the announcement that the game won't be launching until March 20th, 2020.

Nintendo had one more Super Smash Bros. Ultimate reveal to make before the end of the show, announcing that none other than Banjo-Kazooie are coming to the game as a DLC fighters. Banjo-Kazooie have been frequently requested as DLC fighters given that their console of origin is the N64, and now it's finally happening. Banjo-Kazooie are arriving at some point this fall, after the arrival of Hero from Dragon Quest.

Nintendo's E3 2019 Direct wasn't quite as packed as previous ones have been, but it had its share of huge announcements. The fact that there's a Breath of the Wild sequel in the works probably came as a shock to a lot of people, and despite its delay, Animal Crossing: New Horizons looks like it's shaping up to be a solid addition to the franchise.
