Nintendo Switch

If you're a Nintendo Switch owner, you can count yourself among the lucky who no longer have to struggle with the ongoing console shortages. The trade-off, however, is that you now get to deal with expensive accessories, like the $90 price tag on an extra dock. But if you're need of connecting your Switch to more than one TV and are skilled at DIY experiments, you could just make your own dock out of an old Game Boy.

After E3 2017, the Nintendo Switch is looking like a much more attractive platform - the only problem is that they're still difficult to find. Nintendo has been grappling with stock shortages ever since launch, and though we're now nearly five months out from release date, those shortages don't seem to be getting any better.

Nintendo has delivered a new system update for the Switch, pushing the console to version 3.0. At first, Nintendo was quite vague with its changelogs, usually distilling them down to a single sentence that really didn't tell us much. With version 3.0, however, Nintendo has changed its approach, giving us a fleshed out changelog that actually goes into a lot of detail.

Fuze Code Studio aims to help players learn how to code on the Nintendo Switch, and even code their own 2D and 3D games.

Nintendo's Switch may be plenty of fun in your hands, but owners are rightly concerned that should they break or lose the console, all their achievements will be lost. Though Switch games-in-progress can be saved, as you'd expect, so far Nintendo hasn't provided a way to back those up off-system. That means, if you're unlucky with your handheld, everything you've completed so far could well be lost.

While a lot of the focus on Nintendo's E3 may center around Metroid and Mario, Breath of the Wild was also on display during the show. In a trailer run yesterday during the company's E3 livestream, Nintendo gave us our first looks at the DLC coming along with the Breath of the Wild season pass.

Hopes were high for Nintendo's E3 2017 presentation, and now that we're on the other side of it, it certainly seems like Nintendo delivered. Instead of taking a page out of Microsoft's book and announcing a ridiculous number of games, Nintendo was clearly more concerned about quality over quantity, revealing a comparatively small amount of games. In short: it's an exciting time for Switch owners, because Nintendo is about to bring some first-party heavy hitters to the console.

We expected Nintendo to focus a lot on Super Mario Odyssey during its E3 2017 livestream today, and after a series of trailers announcing various games for the Switch, it was onto the main event. Toward the end of the livestream, Nintendo delivered a rather lengthy trailer for Super Mario Odyssey. In it, we discover a lot more about the game, and it's clear that this will be one of the most creative Mario games to be released in quite some time.

If you were a bit disappointed that Nintendo didn't announce a mainline Pokemon game for the Switch during last week's Pokemon Direct, then take heart. Nintendo rectified that oversight today by revealing that, yes, a true-to-form Pokemon game is indeed in development for Nintendo's newest console. Therefore, it seems like Pokemon UltraSun and UltraMoon will be the last core Pokemon games developed for the 3DS.

Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle does, in fact, exist. As weird as it may be, all of those wacky rumors we heard in the lead up to this announcement were right on the money. Ubisoft kicked off its E3 2017 press conference by bringing Nintendo visionary Shigeru Miyamoto on stage to discuss this new game that blends the world of Mario and the Rabbids.

At E3 2017, almost all eyes are on Microsoft's flood of juicy announcements surrounding the Xbox platform, including the Xbox One X and the new exhaustive backwards compatibility catalog. That, however, doesn't mean that other companies are slacking off. Nintendo and EA Sports, for example, has just revealed more details about the hit football (soccer for some) franchise FIFA 18 that will be making its way to the Nintendo Switch, letting players decide exactly when, where, and with whom they want to play it.
