So look, I said I’d write a Nintendo roundup, but honestly it’s mostly about Pok\u00e9mon Let’s Go, because that’s really what I played while at E3.<\/p>\n

So here we are.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Pok\u00e9mon Let’s Go<\/strong><\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

Me. A Switch. A Nintendo tech guy. A Pokeball Plus. A booth at E3.<\/p>\n

The demo took place entirely within Viridian Forest which, even for me, instilled a lot of nostalgia right off the bat. A team of Pikachu, Charmander, Squirtle, Bulbasaur, and Eevee (the best one) was waiting for me to give the order to slaughter their kin for Pokedollars and GLORY. So we did.<\/p>\n

Catching works like GO, battling works like real Pokemon. That’s all I want to say about it really, because teh joy of rediscovery will be among the best parts of this experience. I will say that the Pokeball was WAY too small for my adult hands, and I kept accidentally moving up while using the A button (both are the ball’s button), causing more Growls than Tackles.<\/p>\n

Overall though, the ten minutes I spent wrecking Bug Catchers was a blast, and I’m looking forward to reliving 1998 very soon.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Super Smash Bros<\/strong><\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

Oh yeah, this. I am apparently incredibly bad at Smash, losing 3 of 4 games to the AI. However, going back to good old Mewtwo was a lot of fun, and the whole roster looks diverse enough to give even the most skilled players a challenge to hit that skill ceiling. It looked and felt fun, despite my embarrassing losses, and I truly cannot wait to see how badly wrecked I’ll get by some eight-year-old Welsh kid online when it releases.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Mario Tennis Aces<\/strong><\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

I also played a good deal of Mario Tennis Aces at the E3 booth, but I got to play even more when I reveiewed it here<\/a>. Probably best to read that.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Starlink: Battle for Atlas<\/strong><\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

Skylanders and Amiibo just aren\u2019t for me, so I wasn\u2019t hopeful heading into Starlink, which I played on Switch at Ubisoft’s booth. Then I played it and fell in love. Building your ship on the fly while battling giant enemy mechs felt fun and vital to the experience. While I shudder to think how much this will cost in the end (all toys to life games end up costing a fortune), and the lack of swapping while out and about on the Switch, my E3 experience was absolutely stellar.<\/p>\n

Also, the devs said I was the only person to beat the boss without landing, and were very impressed. Just don\u2019t tell them it\u2019s because I didn\u2019t know I COULD land\u2026<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Overall, I was impressed with Nintendo’s lineup. They’re really leaning into some of the more unique aspects of the Switch, and I am super stoked for the coming months.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
