GDC, one of the biggest gaming events of the year, was postponed last week due to concerns stemming from the coronavirus. It will now be held sometime during the summer.
With GDC having been pushed back and PAX East 2020 wrapping up this past weekend, the next notable gaming event to look forward to is E3 2020 in June. The Entertainment Software Association, who organizes E3, told Vice that the show is “moving ahead full speed”. However, they’re “watching the situation very closely” and “will continue to be vigilant”.
The ESA’s full statement reads:
Portal Dogs, a puzzle-platformer, recently found its way to the Switch eShop. Have a look at some footage in the video below.
As it’s now March 3 in Japan, Switch is officially three years old. The console launched around the world on March 3, 2017.
Switch has been an extremely successful console for Nintendo so far, especially following the Wii U – which many would agree was a disappointment. The system has already sold over 50 million units worldwide, surpassing the Wii U, GameCube, N64, and SNES. It’s just a matter of time until other platforms like the NES are overtaken as well.
