Well it's a new year and Nintendo is, for once, not in a position comparable to a sedan attempting to do off-road driving. But after a good year comes another problem, albeit a good one to have. After knocking it out the park with Mario and Zelda, how do you keep up momentum? Currently Nintendo is going back and forth between porting it's extensive and underplayed WiiU Library and working on new games which brings us to the next question, what will Smash be, if it's even there at all?

I'll update the title time but here's a countdown in case I can't do it for whatever reason.

Main Presentation is at 9am PT 12th June

Here's how it looks across the major English Speaking timezones

The announced Metroid, Yoshi, Fire Emblem, and Pokémon games alone would make for a great E3 2018, but I'm hoping Nintendo has a few big surprises for us here and there. It doesn't necessarily have to be Smash, but announcing one or two big titles would really put me over the edge.

I think it mostly depends on the amount of games they have to keep the hype train rolling. Games like Metroid Prime 4 and especially Pokemon (Switch) are enough to get people hyped about the switch and make it a great E3 for nintendo, so Smash might not be necessary for a release this year. But then again having Metroid, Pokemon, Bayonetta, AND Smash for 2018 will put the Switch into Maximum overdrive 2018. But if they don't announce Smash this year, it's most likely going to be a Smash 4.5 or sequel in 2019.

I hope they make a new Smash Bros. game for the Switch. Plus, make it also available on 3DS!

Considering the fact that basically the only things coming out on the 3DS in 2018 from Nintendo themselves are just smaller eshop titles and very late localizations, they're definitely not doing another 3DS Smash.

Plus the fact that there's already a game called "Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS" would make it a marketing nightmare.

I think if it shows up it will it will be a wii u port with some of the 3ds content (most past stages, some of the more popular new stages, probably some trophies and maybe an updated smash run if we get really lucky). Also not sure if it will come with all of the dlc, particularly 3rd party.

It probably will come with all of the Wii U DLC if that's the case. They need to make the Switch version more attractive than the Wii U one, so they'll probably do the same they did with MK8 Deluxe.

If we are to receive a port of Smash 4, E3 is the latest I realistically see it being revealed. Should E3 come and go without incidence, I doubt it's in the cards.

I wonder if they'll use E32018 to start talking about Virtual Console as it's the Switch's biggest ommision from previous consoles. Even the 3DS had VC.

Well that's 100 days to go now, at the point where normal people start doing their countdowns.

Out of the blue prediction, Nintendo announces a game from a series that's already got an instalment on Switch like Mario Kart or Zelda, for a undisclosed time in the future.

Nintendo just announced a Direct for tomorrow.

I wonder what they'll talk about besides Star Allies coming out soon.

Well we can say with 100% certainty that Smash Switch will be shown at E3 now.

And since it's getting closer, here's my first draft for a Bingo Sheet.

Feel free to post and change yours as much as you want but make sure you're happy with ti a week before the main event.

Well we've got an invitational confirmed and unless we're getting a tournament of only 3 characters, I supect we may be getting a blowout soon.

E3 is definitely going to be big this year. Like maybe even better than last year.

But I hope we get a Smash blowout before that though. E3 is already got so many other games to unveil that Smash on top night be too much. Revealing a month or two before hand will prevent whatever of Smash is shown from overshadowing everything else

Well big things are happening here (watch the date) and we're 10 weeks out from E3.

Posting my own which is a mixture of likely candidates and pipe dreams (coughTwintellecough).

The other with such obvious character choices as Abel, Kartana, and Abraham Lincoln is from my boyfriend. Don't wanna spoil the next game for you guys but I'm pretty sure he has an in with Sakurai.

I already made my bingo sheet for this year's E3:



I think that Metroid, Bayonetta and Smash are pretty much safe bets. Fire Emblem and Yoshi are likely to be talked about if we don't learn more before E3. Maybe we'll hear of Pikmin 4 again and I'm hopeful for Donkey Kong. I also don't expect a mainline Pokémon game this year, probably a Mystery Dungeon if anything.

Edit: with the recent leaks and the fact Nintendo already revealed more details about Switch online I decided to edit a few of my cases and colored them to indicate they're not the same as I originally filled them. I keep the old bingo sheet for archiving purposes:

2 months remaining.

I wonder if anything will happen before then. Game announements have started to pick up elsewhere in the industry like with Spyro Regnited and Mega Man X ollection..

I fail to see to this as "horrifying".

Smash Wii U uses Brawl's engine and it turned out fine.

Ok I'm sorry maybe I misunderstood. I was assuming the engine also meant how characters play in the game. I just want stuff to be safe on shield again and have pressure options and maybe some movement options. That's all.

I'd say at least 20 characters to be revealed


Now where can I make my own Bingo
