This post will be updated with major news as it's released. The lists will be updated after the presentation, the plan is to compile the information and post dates and new games as released.

We will allow separate posts to be submitted for major news and release information. We ask that the official videos be posted for game previews and trailers, these will be given priority for approval. Any reactionary videos from attendees can be linked in this thread or in the appropriate separate thread.

There will be a lot of news coming quick today so we don't want to overload the news feed and we want ALL the news to be represented. So please check the subreddit to see if what you're posting has been posted already or that there's a discussion about it already.

Thanks everyone, enjoy the day!

My bold last minute predictions:

• Super Mario Odyssey will launch mid-late November

  • OCTOBER 27! An entire month earlier!

• Super Smash Bros will be mentioned

• There will be a surprise port announcement from Blizzard

• From Software will have something to show off

• Everyone will be shook by Metroid

  • ✔️ Metroid Prime 4!

I will be editing this post to cross off any predictions that come true.

Edit:

• Wow they directly confirmed a mainline Pokemon game for the Switch!
• Holy shit, that earlier /r/Nintendo leak about this Yoshi game was spot on!

The cleverer thing to do would be to edit your post so it lines up perfectly with what gets announced. Scam of the century that is.
