Nintendo kicked off The Game Awards 2016 today with a new trailer for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. But just a short while ago, the company debuted a gameplay video with Bill Trinen and Nate Bihldorff from the Treehouse. Watch it in full below.

Yacht Club Games debuted a brand new trailer for the Shovel Knight: Specter of Torment expansion during The Game Awards 2016. We’ve posted it below.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild was featured during The Game Awards 2016 pre-show as promised. A brand new trailer debuted, and we now have it below.

Even though the trailer wasn’t overly long, there will be plenty to dissect here between the glimpse of towns, new environments, and story beats. More Zelda is coming at The Game Awards’ full show later tonight.

The Game Awards 2016 will be beginning soon. If you’d like to watch the show as it happens, we have a handy stream link below.

To clarify what’s happening: the pre-show is taking place a half hour early at 5:30 PM PT / 8:30 PM ET / 1:30 AM in the UK / 2:30 AM in Europe. You won’t want to miss it, as Nintendo will be showing an “exclusive look” at Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and we’ll be seeing something from Yacht Club Games. More on Zelda is supposedly coming during the show itself, and winners for the awards will be selected. It should be a fun night!

GameXplain posted a new video today that compares the two versions of Super Mario Maker: Wii U and 3DS. Have a look at it below.

Super Mario Maker for 3DS received its first update, but following some maintenance several hours ago, a new patch is up for the Wii U version as well. Version 1.45 is now live. It’s small in nature, as Nintendo says the following about it: “A number of issues have been fixed to make for a pleasant playing experience.”

Nintendo has shared more information about what to expect from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild at The Game Awards tomorrow.

The “exclusive look” that we previously heard about will actually be during the pre-show. That’ll be held at 5:30 PM PT / 8:30 PM ET. After that, Nintendo says “even more details” will then be present at The Game Awards itself, which starts a half hour later.

Nintendo posted on Facebook a short while ago:


Xavier Poix from Ubisoft has spent 18 years with the company. Currently, he’s the managing director of Ubisoft’s French studios. Polygon recently caught up with Poix and spoke about Switch – and more about Nintendo – in-depth.

We’ve rounded up what Poix had to say below. Head on over here to read up on Polygon’s full piece.

It’s going to be awhile before the full site is open. That being said, there’s a decent amount of content already present between the official trailer, brief rundown of the game, and overview of amiibo support.
