13 Video Games That Must Appear At E3 2017

3. GameCube Virtual Console

Nintendo

Not a single game per se, but a whole load of them instead.

One of the big question marks surrounding the Nintendo Switch is how, exactly, its Virtual Console system will work. Will players be able to port their purchases over from previous consoles, do they need to buy them all again from scratch, or will there be some sort of middle-ground transfer fee per game as they've done in the past?

Moreover, will the persistent rumours turn out to be true, that Nintendo will finally be bringing GameCube games to Virtual Console? While the basic VC system will surely be up and running in time for the Switch's release, count on the GameCube addition being confirmed in a Nintendo Direct at E3.

How Likely Is It?: It'd be great if Nintendo had this ready for launch and fans didn't have to wait another three months to play GameCube titles digitally, but knowing how bizarre Nintendo's business strategies so frequently are, a belated announcement seems quite possible, if absolutely not certain. 5/10
