The E3 2019 press conferences and presentations are closing out with a final broadcast from Nintendo. Today’s Nintendo Direct goes live at 9 AM PT / 12 PM ET / 5 PM in the UK / 6 PM in Europe.

Nintendo has been quiet on what will be shown here aside from a focus on 2019 titles. That means you’ll likely be hearing more about games such as Zelda: Link’s Awakening, Pokemon Sword/Shield, and Astral Chain. A new announcement or two is probably in the cards as well.

We have a live stream for today’s Nintendo Direct below (which also includes activities for the first day Treehouse: Live), along with a live blog. Posts will also be made separately during and after the show.

Following the original leak a few days ago, Bandai Namco has officially announced Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch for Switch. The RPG will launch on September 20.

As previously mentioned, Ni no Kuni for Switch will be more along the lines of a port from the PlayStation 3 version. Other platforms will be receiving a “Remastered” version with improved resolution and performance. The Switch version will run at 720p and 30 frames per second.

Here’s an overview of Ni no Kuni, along with a trailer:

Square Enix announced Final Fantasy VIII Remastered earlier tonight. We now have a little bit of information as to what’s new.

First, the game can be sped up by 3x in 3x speed mode (excluding movies). There’s also a battle assist mode that maxes out your HP and Active Time Meters, as well as lets you use specials at any time. Square Enix lists being able to turn random encounters on/off as a feature as well. Finally, Square Enix has mentioned “overhauled visuals”.

Here are a couple of comparisons between the remastered and original version:

Square Enix ends today’s E3 festivities with a conference of its own. The broadcast will be going live at 6 PM PT / 9 PM ET / 2 AM in the UK / 3 AM in Europe.

Last year’s conference was admittedly light on Switch news aside from a brief Octopath Traveler trailer, but we’ll have to see what happens this time around. At the very least, Square Enix may mention Dragon Quest Builders 2 ahead of its western launch next month. If there’s anything noteworthy, we’ll make a separate post on the site.
