E3 2018 Press Conferences Schedule
Is your house stocked with sugary sweets and salty snacks? We’ve already begun stocking up for that special time of the year: E3! It’s the Super Bowl of video games and it lasts six magical days thanks to the pre-show festivities. We fully expect some more leaks and blurry photos of booths being set up before the big event and have created a landing page to hold all of our E3 news.
Like last year, there are multiple days worth of press conferences and video presentations. Once again Nintendo is hosting a pre-recorded video (Nintendo Direct: E3 2018) that promises to blow the lid off of several of its upcoming games. Super Smash Bros. is expected to take center stage with a tournament taking place during E3. We hope to get a glimpse at Metroid Prime 4 and Fire Emblem, and are eager to learn of new surprise games that have yet to be revealed. Will Star Fox Grand Prix end up being real? We’re about to find out!
As has become tradition, we have plans to give our immediate impressions after each of the major conferences via Nintendo Times Radio podcasts. We are planning six recordings to give our hot takes after each presentation! We hope you tune in.
Above all else, have a fantastic E3 week!
