This week we were invited by Nintendo to attend their post-E3 show. We were going to see the E3 games, see what new content was being presented and we could of course play with the latest games to play them ourselves. All that happened in Kinepolis Utrecht which of course immediately caused the next hope, GAMEN ON BIG SCREEN !!!!
Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu
We started the day with two presentations in the movie theater. We could see a playthrough of Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu . The Nintendo employee gave a brief explanation before going to the starting line of Kanto and Pewter. He showed how he would catch and fight Pokemon. The game world seemed very animated and the control through the pokéball was good and simple. At the first gymfight (gym Brock), he said that all gyms are really designed as arenas and that the layout expresses what kind of pokemon are the favorite of the gym master. In Brock, these are stone pokemons, so it was a rocky arena for example. It has also been mentioned that you can take the pokéball with you when you go to work or go to school. You will automatically earn XP, but you can also use Pokémon Go.
Pokémon that you catch via Pokémon Go or in the game can be traded between them. In addition, it will be possible to play the game cooperatively and to do a pokemon hunt together or to fight together against others. Later in the day we were allowed to start the game, but unfortunately only 10 minutes. However, the use of pokéball feels really good and launches it almost like a kid's game. Overall, we can bet money on that Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu / Eevee becomes a hobbyhorse for Nintendo. The good news is that if you buy the pokéball controller it will come with a Mew already as a gift.
Super Mario Party
The second presentation was about the last game Super Mario Party . We were shown a little demo of the game itself and a number of mini-games. The game will contain a total of 80 mini-games and even a small selection of these games can be played online. If you play the standard game, the characters will all have 2 dice. A normal from 1 to 6 and a special where you can cast eyes higher, earn extra coins, but also get penalties. You can choose the die you want to use for each throw, but it offers a new form of play.
New in this game is the mode called Toads Wreckroom. For this mode, you need at least 2 switching consoles. For example, you can play a chariot deathmatch here, and then the playground consists of 2 Switch console screens. You can then decide for yourself if you want to place the screens next to each other or L-shaped. Nice new feature, but it was not clear if you had to have 2 copies of the game. This is just another typical Nintendo game that belongs to each console of their home and is fun for evenings with friends.
Super Smash Bros. Ultime
Of course was also Super Smash Bros. Ultimate present. I have never had Smash Bros. Played and I had already been warned by my cowboy comrades. I just started playing and I wonder if I won my first 2 pots. But man, what chaos! I've understood from "experts" that it's one of the fastest Smash titles of all time. Everything happened on the screen and I just tried to survive. This title was also available to play on the big screen cinema. I could not resist that, of course, but there were also the gentlemen who played a little more often than me. Immediately I went under and soon I left the cinema with the tail between the legs. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate looks absolutely cool and what I 've heard from conversations around me is that it' s really a very good title and that it 's playing very good in terms of speed.
Starlink: Battle for Atlas
A title that I absolutely want to mention is Starlink: Battle for Atlas . I suddenly saw a table with some kind of spaceships. These spaceships can be attached to your controller, which then works as a kind of aiimibo. On this, you can place various pilots and spaceships that really appear on your image. You can even place upgrades or swap parts of spaceships between you so you can really build a unique spaceship that matches your playing style. Unfortunately, I could not play it myself, but it had looks absolutely cool. This game has completely overtaken me on E3, but this one is definitely on my list.
In addition, we were allowed to work briefly with other games. There was a build of FIFA 19 under development, it was clear that there were a lot of improved graphics and gameplay compared to the predecessor. The gameplay was fluid and graphically it was really better in terms of animations. It was good to see what they managed to get out of the computing power of the Switch in terms of graphics.
Captain Toad Treasure Tracker was also present. We could play three levels of puzzle. It sounds a bit childish, but appearances are misleading. Some puzzles were quite difficult and were really fun. You can even play the game in coop. The one who is controlled by Toad and the other can use a pointer to move various objects around the world and thus support each other. Yet, a title to pick up maybe.
What I saw was a lot of titles with potential. Some have to be your thing, but the offer on the Switch is growing and there really are better games in between. Good times are coming!
