This year was quite a positive one for the ol' Nintendo. Gaming fans young and old… Nintendo or otherwise… found things to love. At the center of all that was the main man himself… Super Mario! Surprisingly though, it's releasing earlier than expected! We also received news on where Metroid has been at, so those folks won big! Yet… we still don't know what's going on with Retro… a mystery remains. We hope they're okay! The 3DS didn't have too much to show for itself though Metroid: Samus Returns certainly was a big deal. That Rabbids/Mario cross-over was some legit noise! This was E3 2017.
How did you predictions fare? Lets find out!

nate38: -68 ptsThis year's results were just such a surprise. The event was light on new Nindies and those Rabbids figurines are not amiibo. Beyond Good and Evil II got it's great unveiling but was never confirmed for Switch. A new Switch Pokemon game was confirmed but it's not Pokemon Stars (as we know) and it's not for 2017. A lot of these were half right in some respects, but half right doesn't earn points! I hope you all had a really great week last week and I hope this has been a fun game for you. Again I want to thank InfinityWave for his inspiration and for Ploot for the assist in creating the thing.
Have a great summer! Until next E3… see ya!
