$200 Price tag, is it worth it?

Don't worry, it's going to play all of your current Nintendo Switch games and as of right now, I don't think there will be any console exclusives for this system.  It's just a Switch without a dock and it does not connect to TVs.  It does not have motion controls or rumble. The screen looks like it's the same size as the current Switch.  I don't get, but Nintendo thinks this is something that we all need.

The new Nintendo Switch LITE will be released on Sep 20, 2019.

Here are the 8th Generation Galar Region starter Pokemon! Who are you starting your adventure with?

Pokemon Sword and Shield, releasing November 15, 2019 is set in the beautiful and breathtaking Galar Region. Home to the 8th generation of Pokemon, the Galar Region is heavily influenced by the United Kingdom. The landscape of open, lush green fields, glorious lakes, castle-like towns and industrial railroads, has all the fans buzzing!

Official Launch Trailer

No shows from Metroid and Yoshi after 2017's video teases. Don't worry tho, HELLA Smash Bros.

Ok, so there were a few games that Nintendo showed us that was alright.  The most exciting for me was Super Mario Party.  Overcooked 2 looked like it could be fun in the short term.  And Fortnite was finally announced for Switch and is available for free download today.  A few other games, Fire Emblem, Xenoblade, etc. etc.  This was a very weak presentation from Nintendo. 

Then we have 25 minutes of Smash. This is great news for fans of this game. It is the Ultimate version, which includes every single character from every Smash game.  It is the largest video game crossover ever.  Speaking about this 25-minute video, this is a perfect example of how I wish every game demo went for E3.  Here’s our new game.  New features.  New characters.  Things that used to work like this, work a different way now, here’s what it looks like.  The game director goes on and on about the game and its features.  Then ends with a release date  Oh how perfect all of E3 would be if it was just full of videos like this one below.
