More third-party ports for Switch were announced at E3 this week. Fortnite was the big one, but a game like Dragon Ball FighterZ is also notable.

The only downside is that Switch owners have had to wait longer for ports, as titles have been coming out later on the platform compared to the initial debuts on other systems. However, Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime believes this will change starting in 2019.

Nintendo’s Treehouse stream at E3 is showing the new Challenge Mode DLC for Xenoblade Chronicles 2. This is the first footage we’re seeing of the content.

Interestingly, Nintendo has confirmed rumors of Shulk and Fiora appearing. In fact, both will be playable. Both act as Blades in the game.

The second day of Nintendo’s E3 coverage will be kicking off in an hour from now. Expect the live stream below to start at 9 AM PT / 12 PM ET / 5 PM in the UK / 6 PM in Europe.

Nintendo doesn’t have any presentations or tournaments today. However, Treehouse Live will be back for many hours of streaming coverage. We’ll be breaking up the different segments on the site as they wrap up, and will share any notable news if there is any.
