Nintendo’s Doug Bowser says it has no new 3DS games to announce at E3, but business still doing well
If it hasn’t become clear by now, Nintendo has essentially moved on for 3DS. There are almost no new games due out this year, and nothing has been announced in quite some time – including at E3.
Nintendo of America president Doug Bowser commented about the 3DS in an interview with Time, reiterating that the company has no new titles to announce at the expo this year. On the bright side, business for the dedicated handheld “continues to do quite well.”
SEGA has posted two more videos for Olympic Games Tokyo 2020: The Official Video Game. The latest gameplay gives us a look at Hammer Throw and Boxing, which feature Takeshi Matsuda – an actual record holder for the Olympics. Take a look at the footage below.
Developer Nomada Studio has announced that Gris will be getting a physical version after all. Special Reserve Games will have the exclusive on this one. Pre-orders for the game open on July 25, and will close off on July 17.
As we’ve heard throughout the week, Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield won’t feature all Pokemon. That means you won’t be able to transfer every creature that the series has seen.
If you were hoping that the games would be updated to support missing Pokemon in the future, you might be out of luck – at least for now. Game Freak’s Junichi Masuda and Shigeru Ohmori told Famitsu that there is currently no decision to bring the existing Pokemon that can’t be used back into the game using patches, but those that don’t will still have an active role in Pokemon HOME.

Nintendo showed off about half an hour of Fire Emblem: Three Houses during Treehouse Live yesterday, but obviously dedicated Fire Emblem fans want to see more of this game. Luckily, a couple of outlets got to go hands-on with the game and record some footage. You’ll find Gamespot’s video below, and then head past the break for Kotaku’s and IGN’s:
Gamespot had the chance to go hands-on with Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 at E3, receiving a gameplay tour from JC from the Nintendo Treehouse. Check out the video below for some gameplay:
A new Grand Hero Battle is now live in Fire Emblem Heroes. You’ll be facing off against Cynthia: Hero Chaser from Fire Emblem: Awakening. You have until June 22 to defeat her and make her your ally.
Also, since it’s Thursday, Tactics Drills has been updated. The new map “Daughter’s Defense” can be found in the Skill Studies section. Clearing it gets you one orb.
