We then critique our experiences with some lovely, smaller JRPGs: Child of Light and Underhero. Afterward, we explore industry talk and current trends: what’s going to happen with the Switch moving forward into the new console generation? A Switch Pro? Go harder on mobile? External graphics card? A new dedicated home console in tandem with Switch being a dedicated handheld? Possibilities abound! Check out links and timestamps below, and come hang out.

Much like Limited Run Games, Devolver Digital is moving forward with its E3 2020 plans. The event may have been cancelled, but the company’s Devolver Direct / press conference will still be live streamed. There could also be more than just that, but we’ll just have to wait on further details.
E3 2020 was originally set to take place during the second week of June. If Devolver Digital’s plans haven’t changed, expect the publisher’s presentation to air around then.

Limited Run Games still airing its planned E3 2020 video presentation in June
Posted on 4 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
Despite E3 2020’s cancellation, Limited Run Games is sticking to its original plan for the show. The company’s previously-announced press conference, which ultimately amounts to a digital event similar to a Nintendo Direct, will air on June 8 at 12 PM PT / 3 PM ET / 8 PM in the UK 9 / PM in Europe.
Of course, since this year’s E3 is no more, the show is getting a slight rebranding. Limited Run Games is now referring to it as #LRG3.
Fans can expect the latest news on games that will be receiving physical releases. It’s also possible that there could be a new announcement or two based on previous years.
