LOS
ANGELES, June 12, 2018 – Nintendo opened its activities for the annual
E3 2018 video game trade show with a bang – and a smash. Showing
world-first footage of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Nintendo
shared details about the latest entry in a series with sales of more
than 40 million units worldwide. A new game built for the Nintendo Switch system, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
lets up to eight players square off in action-packed battles that are
all about smashing beloved video game characters off the screen.
Legendary game worlds and fighters collide in the ultimate showdown at
E3 2018, which runs through June 14 at the Los Angeles Convention
Center. Nintendo made its announcements during its Nintendo Direct: E3 2018 video presentation, which can be viewed at https://e3.nintendo.com.
“At
E3, we’re showing how Nintendo Switch continues to redefine play, with
the broadest range of games people can enjoy together anytime,
anywhere,” said Reggie Fils-Aime, Nintendo of America’s President and
COO. “Fans who’ve debated which Super Smash Bros. fighter is the
best now have the chance to settle their differences once and for all,
pitting familiar faces against fresh challengers on stages both new and
old. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let’s Go, Eevee!, and the arrival of Epic’s Fortnite on Nintendo Switch demonstrate the strong momentum Nintendo Switch continues to have through 2018 and beyond.”
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
will include every single fighter ever featured in the series’ nearly
two-decade run, making it one of the biggest crossover events in gaming
history. Fans can enjoy returning favorites like Ice Climbers and
Pokémon Trainer, as well as newly announced fighters like Ridley from
the Metroid series and Inkling from the Splatoon
series. The game supports a variety of controller options, including
Nintendo GameCube controllers (original or newly designed), Joy-Con
controllers or the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller. With Nintendo Switch,
players can throw down whenever and wherever they like in Handheld or
Tabletop mode while enjoying online play.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate combines many stages and new items, with gameplay that makes it easy for players of all skill levels to jump in. All current Super Smash Bros. series amiibo figures are compatible with the game, and any fighter’s amiibo figure from other series will also be supported. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is set to launch on Dec. 7, exclusively for Nintendo Switch. It is being developed by Nintendo, Sora, Ltd. and BANDAI NAMCO Studios, and is directed by Masahiro Sakurai.
Nintendo also announced that Fortnite,
the Battle Royale phenomenon from Epic Games, is available for Nintendo
Switch – TODAY. Players can download it for free from the Nintendo
eShop, then test their mettle in thrilling crucibles of combat. The
action never stops with Fortnite on Nintendo Switch, where
players can build and battle together anytime, anywhere. Team up online
with friends in the same room or around the world. Weekly updates and
new gameplay modes will keep the action fresh for seasoned Fortnite players and newcomers alike.
At its E3 booth this week in the Los Angeles Convention Center, Nintendo will give attendees their first chance to play Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let’s Go, Eevee!, two Pokémon games launching for the Nintendo Switch system on Nov. 16. Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let’s Go, Eevee!
are a new way to experience Pokémon that lets players adventure with
their partner Pokémon in the vibrant Kanto region, discover fresh and
exciting Pokémon encounters and Trainer battles, as well as share the
adventure cooperatively with a friend anytime, anywhere on one Nintendo
Switch system. Players can even transfer Kanto region Pokémon into the
game from the Pokémon GO app. These games serve as an entry point to the Pokémon
series for newcomers, but they also provide fun and engaging
experiences for Pokémon fans of all ages. A new accessory, called Poké
Ball Plus, comes with Mythical Pokémon, Mew and is sold separately from
the games. Poké Ball Plus includes a pressable analog stick and button,
so players can control the new games entirely with the accessory, if
they want. Nintendo is announcing two bundles, in which players can get Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! or Pokémon: Let’s Go, Eevee! with one Poké Ball Plus.
Other upcoming items announced during the Nintendo Direct include:
