E3 2018: 10 Things That Must Happen At Nintendo's Conference

Smash might not be the only highlight this year.

Nintendo have a hell of a presentation ahead of them, and all we know that'll be there so far is Smash.

As the last in the running for E3 2018, Nintendo have the job of closing the show but still creating as much hype as the others. With Microsoft and Bethesda's conferences both being full of announcements and surprises, it's going to be no easy feat to contend with them.

Who better than Nintendo to pull it off?

This is especially true of this year because of the presence of a (presumably) brand-new Super Smash Bros. game. This title alone has the power to be one of the most interesting games at E3, provided that Nintendo keep going with the reveals and really give us a deep dive into the next entry in the series.

With Nintendo themselves announcing that Smash is the focus of this year, it's pretty clear that we'll be seeing a lot of that. But that's not all that the company has to offer. There are so many different games in the works at Nintendo and we doubtless only know about a few of them.

To make this E3 extra memorable, Nintendo are going to have to pull out all the stops and really show us everything they have.

10. Fortnite For Switch Releases After The Conference

At this point, Fortnite coming to the Nintendo Switch won't be a huge surprise. You know what will? Bringing it to the Switch as soon as the conference finishes.

Fortnite has recently been leaked to be on the Nintendo Switch when Nintendo uploaded data pertaining to the game onto the system itself.

This heavily implies what the game will see a release on the Switch, but the fact that the data already exists on the console now suggests that we'll actually be seeing the game a lot sooner than we might have expected.

Nintendo are a big fan of this move, having pulled this sort of stunt before, most recently when they announced Pokémon Quest and released it that same night.

Doing this would be a huge pull for the Switch, especially when you consider the popularity of Fortnite and the potential that comes from playing the game wherever you want.
