E3 2019: 10 Biggest Surprises At Nintendo's Showcase

4. Panzer Dragoon

Wow, did anyone see this coming?

Fans have been asking for it for so long, but finally a remake of the original Panzer Dragoon is being updated for a modern audience, and it's out later this year.

This is great for several reasons.

Obviously the series has managed to build a cult fan base based on their original, quality gameplay, and it's been a long time since any console received a high-end, narrative driven on-rails shooter with a decent budget.

It also means the long dormant franchise has an opportunity to entice a whole new generation of fans, which could mean more remakes and sequels. Finally, it's a perfect fit for the Switch, with a challenging and addictive arcade style.

This particular edition will be especially good if Sega incorporate those lovely gyroscopic controls.

Who knows, maybe there'll be online multiplayer and co-op? Arena-based dragon dogfights sound pretty damn good.
