The 2019 Bethesda E3 Showcase will be starting not too long from now. All of the festivities officially begin at 5:30 PM PT / 8:30 PM ET / 1:30 AM in the UK / 2:30 AM in Europe.

As for what will be shown, Doom Eternal should be a big focus, and Wolfenstein: Youngblood should at least be getting a mention. What else could Bethesda have in store for Switch? Last year The Elder Scrolls: Legends was announced for the system, but it still hasn’t been released. We’ll have to see what else there is.

Here’s the stream for the Bethesda E3 Showcase:

Yesterday, we heard from Japanese streaming site Niconico that the E3 2019 Nintendo Direct would last approximately 40 minutes. Nintendo has now officially confirmed that length. The presentation, which will focus on Switch games launching in 2019, will indeed be about 40 minutes long.

You can catch the E3 2019 Nintendo Direct on June 11 at 9 AM PT / 12 PM ET / 5 PM in the UK / 6 PM in Europe. We’ll carry the live stream here, and we’ll also be running a live blog.

Just like over the past couple of years, EA will have a FIFA game ready to go on Switch later in 2019. However, it will be a “Legacy Edition” – meaning it won’t include the new FIFA Street-style mode Volta Football from other platforms, nor will it contain a number of other big features.

In an interview with Eurogamer, FIFA 20 executive producer Aaron McHardy discussed what fans can expect from the Legacy Edition on Switch. He said:

During YouTube Live at E3 2019 today, SNK revealed the first DLC character for Samurai Shodown. Rimururu will be joining the game, the company revealed.

Here’s her character trailer:

While Samurai Shodown will be out on Switch this winter, it will initially launch later this month on other platforms. It’s unclear how SNK will be approaching the Switch version, but the first six months of Samurai Shodown’s DLC will be free to those who purchase the game and redeem its season pass within the first week of release.

Nintendo Switch

Another round of Nintendo maintenance is scheduled for the coming week. Switch is involved with three different sessions starting tonight, and one also includes Wii U / 3DS.

Here’s the full schedule:

We previously heard that Nintendo NY would have playable demos of some E3 titles next week. The store has now confirmed which games will be present.

Luigi’s Mansion 2, The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening, and Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order will all be playable. They’ll be on hand between 2 PM and 8 PM on June 11, between 9 AM and 8 PM on June 12 / June 13, and between 9 AM and 9 PM on June 14.
