Get spooky in Luigi’s Mansion 3, too.
Nintendo has announced its E3 schedule, revealing that Pokemon Sword and Shield will be playable on the show floor, as well as the remake of The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening.
A tweet from Nintendo of America reveals that Luigi’s Mansion 3 will also be playable at the company’s booth in LA’s convention center, as well as Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order. The tweet also promises more, so expect playable builds of more than these games.
The tweet also lays out the live stream schedule for the show, which is headlined by Nintendo Direct on Tuesday at 9am PT (12 noon ET, 5pm UK, 2am AEST). This will be followed by Nintendo Treehouse, the company’s traditional post-direct chat stream. More Nintendo Treehouse starts on Wednesday at 9am PT, and again on Thursday at 9am PT. Thursday will also be host to Indie Day 2019, so expect to see some smaller games on show towards the end of the week.
For those unable to attend E3, Nintendo also announced that Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 will be making its way to select Best Buy stores for a demo starting on June 12th, from 3pm to 8pm and June 15th, from 12pm to 5pm. You can see if the Best Buy nearest you is one of the 80 stores taking part in the event here.
Pokemon Sword and Shield are likley to be a big part of Nintendo’s E3 offering, but we’ve already had our first big look at the game with yesterday’s Pokemon Direct stream, which revealed the Pokemon Sword and Shield release date, seven new Pokemon, and a bunch of great new features including raids and massive Pokemon.
