Ubisoft is one of the few third-party publishers to have announced an actual game for NX. During its E3 2016 media briefing earlier this week, the company confirmed plans to bring Just Dance 2017 to the platform.

Here’s what Ubisoft EMEA boss Alain Corre had to say regarding NX:

“We have always appreciated the relationship with Nintendo, the co-creation and the fact that they are really concentrating on quality – they have fantastic brands. And they are addressing the family market in a very different way, their own way, which we appreciate. We have done a lot of products and successes with Nintendo in the past, and we believe that the NX will recapture a lot of the lapsed Wii players. So we will see when they release it, but we are confident.”

Nintendo announced Mario Party: Star Rush for 3DS yesterday, which we’ll be seeing on the Treehouse stream in a few hours. Amazon has now put up a listing for the game with a tiny bit of extra information.

Amazon’s listing states:

Team up with your friends in the real world to compete to take down bosses in each game board. Mario Party fun is back and better than ever for multiplayer.

Amazon also reiterates that you can “Break free of turn order, with all players plotting strategy, rolling the dice, and moving” at once.

We’ll get a first look at Mario Party: Star Rush later today with additional details.

We have one more nugget about Nintendo’s Treehouse stream for tomorrow. A press release just sent out mentions that the company will be showing off “a new role-playing IP for Nintendo 3DS.”

That’s literally all we have on this, unfortunately. Nintendo makes it sound like it’s something entirely new, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a localization or an eShop title. Regardless, we’ll find out tomorrow!

Two more games are now confirmed for tomorrow’s Treehouse stream. According to Nintendo, Yo-kai Watch 2 and Rhythm Heaven Megamix will both be appearing. That’s in addition to Paper Mario: Color Splash, Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE, Monster Hunter Generations, Dragon Quest VII, and Mario Party: Star Rush (which isn’t in Nintendo’s new press release, but was confirmed earlier today).

Pokemon GO will also be getting a developer Q&A. We’ll apparently be hearing about a new RPG IP for 3DS as well.

Nintendo has issued a new press release recapping all of today’s news from its Treehouse stream. You can read it in full below.

Nintendo kicked off its presence at the E3 video game trade show in Los Angeles this morning with the first in-depth look at gameplay from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and the Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon games. Nintendo Treehouse: Live dedicated the rest of its schedule for the day to showcasing more content from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. The massive demo for E3 represents just a fraction of the total game, but beyond the physical size of the demo is the depth of the experiences offered, which go well beyond the expanse of the map. Even with a full day of demos, Nintendo only began to scratch the surface of this stunning open-air adventure.

Here’s a quick recap of just a few of today’s highlights. For even more details about The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, visit http://e3.nintendo.com/videos to watch individual Nintendo Treehouse: Live segments and more.
