Nintendo’s E3 showing, and E3 itself, is over for another year and what a year it was. A low key Spotlight broadcast, live streams, and Invitational tournaments … Nintendo definitely pulled out all the stops. But, what did we think of the whole thing?

Splatoon 2: E3 Tournament to Feature Top Teams from 4 Regions
Nintendo has revealed its plans for E3 2017, and the main focus is undoubtedly Super Mario Odyssey.

NS Review – Lego City Undercover (Nintendo Switch)
Chase McCain, the hero cop you star as in Lego City Undercover, carries with him a handy communicator.

NS Review – Splatoon 2 Global Testfire (Switch)

Hands-On: Impressions of Nintendo Switch – Part One
After the (very early) presentation for Nintendo Switch, several of us had the immense privilege of attending a hands-on with the new console in London hosted by Nintendo UK.
