Team Nintendo Life has gathered together its collective hopes and dreams for the show &#8211; some realistic, some ridiculous &#8211; but we also want to hear from you, the good readers of the site. So be sure to leave a comment below with your hot picks for Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Mobile and Nintendo 3DS&#8230;<\/p>\n<h3>Dom Reseigh-Lincoln, editor<\/h3>\n<p>Being Nintendo Switch&#8217;s second year, this feels like \/the\/ year the console really starts getting some exciting software. Not just more ports (of which I expect there to be many), but exclusive third-party titles built specifically for a console with Switch&#8217;s architecture. I&#8217;m really hoping to see some more vested interest from publishers such as Ubisoft, EA and Activision, and this is the time to start seeing that focus. Come on, give us a Switch-exclusive <strong>Assassin&#8217;s Creed<\/strong>, Ubi &#8211; you&#8217;ve got enough studios to make it happen.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d imagine we&#8217;re going to have some new\/cameo characters for <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch\/super_smash_bros\">Super Smash Bros.<\/a><\/strong> announced, and we&#8217;re obviously getting <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/switch-eshop\/fortnite\">Fortnite<\/a><\/strong>, but I&#8217;d really love to see more from <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch\/bayonetta_3\">Bayonetta 3<\/a><\/strong> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch\/metroid_prime_4\"><strong>Metroid Prime 4<\/strong><\/a> beyond simple logo trailers. I think we could see the new <strong>Madden<\/strong> on Switch as it&#8217;s the most obvious candidate in EA&#8217;s remaining sports sims roster, and there&#8217;s a chance we might get confirmation of a DOOM 2 port as well.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>Dave Frear, retro reviewer<\/h3>\n<p>I predict Sony will have a good E3 and Microsoft will once again stretch the definition of exclusive to breaking point, but Nintendo-wise I think a new <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/gameboy\/wave_race\"><strong>Wave Race<\/strong><\/a> is on the way. Actually I\u2019ve thought that since <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/n64\/wave_race_64\"><strong>Wave Race 64<\/strong><\/a> turned up on Wii U with the Kawasaki branding back, having been omitted from previous re-releases. It\u2019s also been a long time since the last instalment although if I\u2019m using that as an indicator I guess a new <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/snes\/f-zero\">F-Zero<\/a><\/strong> is coming too.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>That would be brilliant, but I think that &#8216;<strong>Star Fox: Grand Prix<\/strong>&#8216; game has pushed new F-Zero back a few years, even if it is said to be quite different. Outside of that I\u2019m hoping for some decent third-party support. Something other than &#8216;oldish game with added portability&#8217;, whether that\u2019s new multiplats or something tailored specifically for Switch. Oh, and if Nintendo could unveil the Virtual Boy Color, that\u2019d be great.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"object object-youtube\">\n<div class=\"youtube\">[embedded content] <\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<h3>Dave Letcavage, contributing writer<\/h3>\n<p>Rumors suggest it\u2019s nowhere near a reality, but Retro Studios rounding out its own <strong>Donkey Kong Country<\/strong> trilogy would be my ultimate E3 announcement. Wait a minute&#8230; I lied. While that would make me one unbelievably happy human, it\u2019s really a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nes\/startropics\"><strong>StarTropics<\/strong><\/a> reboot that could earn a smile big enough to rip my face in two. There\u2019s just so much potential there. Sure, a top-down approach would work just fine, but I envision something more ambitious \u2013 think <strong>Zelda<\/strong> meets Uncharted meets <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/snes\/earthbound\">EarthBound<\/a><\/strong>. Just the thought of a game like that has me drooling like Homer Simpson ogling a donut.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019d also like to see <strong>Professor Layton<\/strong> reinvented for the Switch. Keep <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/3ds\/laytons_mystery_journey_katrielle_and_the_millionaires_conspiracy\">Layton\u2019s Mystery Journal<\/a><\/strong> running yearly on 3DS until it concludes a trilogy, which is about when I expect the 3DS to go quietly into the night, but bring back the venerable Professor himself on Switch, in full polygons, with a totally new presentation\/gameplay approach. Keep the essence of the series intact, but have it make as much sense as possible for the current hardware. Again, potential \u2013 and lots of it. Also, Professor Layton, Mike Jones, <strong>Banjo-Kazooie<\/strong>, and another DKC character in Smash, please.<\/p>\n<h3>Glen Fox, guides editor<\/h3>\n<p>I don\u2019t remember being this excited for E3 since 2011, and I\u2019ve got Nintendo to thank for that. The Switch has just totally revitalised my excitement for gaming. Sure, I\u2019m intrigued about announcements from Sony, EA, Bethesda et all, but I\u2019d be happy to just read a round-up to be honest. It\u2019s the Nintendo Direct I\u2019m screaming in anticipation for.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s amazing how the system itself can just garner so much excitement. I\u2019m as stoked to play remasters and re-releases on Switch as I am totally new games, because it really does offer a new way to play. So far <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch\/elder_scrolls_v_skyrim\">Skyrim<\/a><\/strong>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch\/doom\"><strong>DOOM<\/strong><\/a>, <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch\/mario_kart_8_deluxe\">Mario Kart 8 Deluxe<\/a><\/strong>, <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch\/binding_of_isaac_afterbirthplus\">Binding of Isaac<\/a><\/strong>, <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch\/donkey_kong_country_tropical_freeze\">Tropical Freeze<\/a><\/strong>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch\/fifa_18\"><strong>FIFA 18<\/strong><\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch\/resident_evil_revelations_collection\"><strong>Resi Revelations 2<\/strong><\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch\/rayman_legends_definitive_edition\">R<strong>ayman Legends<\/strong><\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch\/rime\"><strong>Rime<\/strong><\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/switch-eshop\/rogue_trooper_redux\"><strong>Rogue Trooper<\/strong><\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/switch-eshop\/shovel_knight_treasure_trove\"><strong>Shovel Knight<\/strong><\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/switch-eshop\/wonder_boy_the_dragons_trap\"><strong>Wonder Boy<\/strong><\/a> have all been given totally new leases of life for me on Switch. That\u2019s in just over a year.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve already got <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch\/crash_bandicoot_n_sane_trilogy\"><strong>Crash Bandicoo<\/strong>t<\/a>, <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch\/wolfenstein_ii_the_new_colossus\">Wolfenstein II<\/a><\/strong>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch\/captain_toad_treasure_tracker\"><strong>Captain Toad<\/strong><\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch\/monster_hunter_generations_ultimate\"><strong>Monster Hunter Generations<\/strong><\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch\/dark_souls_remastered\"><strong>Dark Souls<\/strong><\/a> to come this year as well. And it speaks volumes that I\u2019m super excited to play Dark Souls over again on Switch having literally just beat it on PS4 as well. That\u2019s just how hungry I am for the new experiences that my wonderful Switch offers me even in older games.<\/p>\n<p>But E3 is about new announcements, and right now I\u2019m excited about the possibilities. Looking at Nintendo\u2019s line-up, I\u2019m not particularly that stoked though \u2013 sorry guys! I\u2019ll play <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch\/mario_tennis_aces\"><strong>Mario Tennis Aces<\/strong><\/a> and <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch\/super_smash_bros\">Super Smash Bros.<\/a><\/strong>, but they\u2019re not that big of a deal to me. I\u2019m excited about Let\u2019s Go for sure because I love casual Pok\u00e9mon games and that looks a real winner, and I\u2019d love to see more of <strong>Fire Emblem<\/strong> and <strong>Metroid Prime 4<\/strong>, but I don\u2019t expect to see them this year so that excitement is somewhat stifled.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s actually third party that I\u2019m more excited about. I want to know what Bethesda\u2019s planning next (PLEASE let it be one of the <strong>Fallouts<\/strong>, preferably <strong>4<\/strong>), I\u2019m interested in the potential changes EA might make for <strong>FIFA 19<\/strong>, and I really, REALLY, want a <strong>Tales<\/strong> game on Switch. Rumour\u2019s <strong>Vesperia<\/strong>, which is awesome, but I\u2019d also take <strong>Xillia<\/strong>, <strong>Symphonia<\/strong>, or <strong>Berseria<\/strong>. In fact, give me any JRPG and I\u2019ll be happy!<\/p>\n<p>So basically, it\u2019s the possibilities that excite me most of all \u2013 and particularly what third party developers are cooking up this year, which I\u2019m pretty amazed to be saying about a Nintendo console. Tuesday just can\u2019t come soon enough.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"object object-youtube\">\n<div class=\"youtube\">[embedded content] <\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<h3>Jon Cousins, Japan correspondent<\/h3>\n<p>The Nintendo Switch\u2019s second E3 is an interesting one. The megaton, home run, system selling games for this fall (as well and something to do with a couple of week long last person standing phenomenon) have already been very well publicised, and <strong>Metroid<\/strong>\/<strong>Bayonetta 3<\/strong> seem a way off, but it\u2019s the perpetual rumours of <strong>Star Fox Grand Prix<\/strong> that have me most curious. There\u2019s so much more potential with the IP than just a straight up racer- a Diddy Kong Racing type set up with the dog fights and set pieces we know and love from the franchise could be super cool.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Other than that, a release date for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch\/yoshi\"><strong>Yoshi<\/strong><\/a> (and the long rumoured <strong>Pikmin 4<\/strong>) would be lovely and I\u2019d love to see a few beloved 3DS titles reappear, like <strong>BoxBoy<\/strong>, <strong>Pushmo<\/strong> collections or even a port of <strong>Kid Icarus Uprising<\/strong>. On the 3rd party front, some more Bethesda and Rock Star support (OMG <strong>Red Dead<\/strong> or Switch-specific <strong>Bully<\/strong> on the go!), <strong>The Witness<\/strong> and <strong>SUPERHOT<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3>Liam Doolan, Australia correspondent<\/h3>\n<p>I was a big fan of <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/wiiu\/super_mario_maker\">Super Mario Maker<\/a><\/strong> on the Wii U when it was originally released in 2015. I used to spend hours crafting courses that required seemingly impossible manoeuvres in order to succeed. That\u2019s why at this year\u2019s E3 I would like to see this title announced for the Switch. I\u2019m not exactly sure how compatible a game like this would be, due to the nature of Nintendo\u2019s latest system, but surely the company could work its magic to make it happen. I don\u2019t mind if it\u2019s a port, and I\u2019m also open to a direct sequel. At the very least, I just want to find out more about <strong>Super Smash Bros.<\/strong> Is it some kind of enhanced port of the Wii U and 3DS versions of the game, or is it a sequel of sorts? I guess that\u2019s something we will find out next week based on Bill Trinen\u2019s recent comments to the Hollywood Reporter.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"object object-youtube\">\n<div class=\"youtube\">[embedded content] <\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<h3>Richard Atkinson, contributing writer<\/h3>\n<p>E3 is a magical time for the industry and, more importantly, for the gamers as it&#8217;s a time for our collective minds to run wild with what could be coming to our favourite consoles in the near future. I always tend to watch Nintendo&#8217;s E3 Direct with fairly low expectations with my faith restored in the Big N during the Treehouse segments. This year, however, I feel they need to nail the Direct with <strong>Metroid Prime 4<\/strong> gameplay, a well overdue <strong>Pikmin 4<\/strong> announcement, <strong>Animal Crossing<\/strong> (pretty please, Nintendo, don&#8217;t let us down&#8230;) and some serious and concrete Online details along with a complete overhaul of the eShop that goes live at the time of the reveal.<\/p>\n<p>Needless to say, I&#8217;m expecting a bunch of ports such as <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/wii\/metroid_prime_trilogy\">Metroid Prime Trilogy<\/a><\/strong> to land this Holiday to tide us over and an out-of-this-world surprise that will have our jaws dropping to the floor &#8211; something along the lines of the <strong>Final Fantasy XII<\/strong> remake coming to Switch perhaps? Let a man dream.<\/p>\n<h3>Ryan Craddock, staff writer<\/h3>\n<p>I think the thing I want to see the most is simply anything related to <strong>Metroid Prime 4<\/strong>.\u00a0 Those 30 seconds or so from last year\u2019s conference, with the Prime music beautifully seducing everyone in until that magic number \u20184\u2019 was displayed, somehow managed to steal the whole show for me. I find it unlikely that we\u2019ll see anything substantial just yet, but the hype will be very real for me if we do.<\/p>\n<p>Being realistic, I\u2019d be very surprised if we don\u2019t see <strong>Fortnite<\/strong> make an appearance after all the recent hullabaloo, as well as more information on the 2018 Yoshi game and the online service launching this September. If you want some of my slightly more \u2018out-there\u2019 predictions, though, let\u2019s say a Switch port of <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/wiiu\/wonderful_101\">The Wonderful 101<\/a><\/strong>, something <strong>Fallout<\/strong> related from Bethesda, a paid-for chunk of DLC for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch\/super_mario_odyssey\"><strong>Super Mario Odyssey<\/strong><\/a> with a new kingdom or two, and some kind of strange new direction for the Switch\u2019s first <strong>Animal Crossing<\/strong> game.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"object object-youtube\">\n<div class=\"youtube\">[embedded content] <\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<h3>Goncalo Lopes, contributing writer<\/h3>\n<p>You might consider me part dreamer, part masochist but it will come to little surprise that I have been waiting since 2003 for a new proper F-Zero to be announced. Every year I go into E3 season with that \u201cMaybe this year!\u201d vibe only to find nothing to appease my peculiar need for speed. I always look forward to my favourite Nintendo franchises (<strong>Star Fox<\/strong>, <strong>Metroid<\/strong>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/snes\/pilotwings\"><strong>Pilotwings<\/strong><\/a>, <strong>Wave Race<\/strong>) to get some sort of nod during the presentation. I take special attention to learn whatever Monolith Soft is up to because I need still need closure for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/wiiu\/xenoblade_chronicles_x\"><strong>Xenoblade Chronicles X<\/strong><\/a> (I would fully finance a direct sequel). I hope we learn at the very least who is developing Metroid Prime 4 and if we are getting a Nintendo 64 Mini this holiday season. Truly we are living terribly exciting times for the industry as a whole and Nintendo in particular.<\/p>\n<p><em>So that&#8217;s our predictions for E3 2018, but what about you?
