What else Ubi would possibly present is a thriller, however South Park is still missing in action and rumours level to a cross-over game with Nintendo.
Nintendo – no convention, however Nintendo Direct probably
Nintendo has fortunately already flat-out informed everybody to not count on a convention at E3 – throughout their latest investor name they said they had no plans to hold an E3 conference. That shouldn’t come as a shock, as they haven’t held one for years. What it’s best to count on is a ‘Digital Event’ or Nintendo Direct that’ll stream out probably on Monday or Tuesday Morning. There are quite a lot of Switch recreation rumours that persist. Will see see the Mario and Rabbids cross-over RPG? Smash Bros for Switch? And, in fact, there’s a lot to study Super Mario Odyssey.
