As some may contend, Nintendo had a fairly strong E3 2018. It shared a huge amount of information about the Nintendo Switch exclusive fighting game Super Smash Bros. Ultimate at E3 2018, and also confirmed the Switch releases of games like Fortnite and Hollow Knight.

The company could be preparing to go a lot bigger with E3 2019. The Nintendo E3 2019 website has now gone live, teasing its plans for the annual games industry event. "It’s almost that time of year," wrote the Switch platform-holder, with Nintendo stating that fans should expect new game announcements and tournament news between June 11-13, 2019.

The language on the website is incredibly vague. It does confirm that Nintendo will have a showing at the event and gives fans a concrete date to write down. However, there are no proper hints of the games that it will feature at E3 2019.

Nintendo may not be in the full teaser mood yet, but there is already lots of speculation about what the company may show. One popular theory is that the company will finally share some information about Animal Crossing for Nintendo Switch at E3 2019. A brief teaser trailer for the game confirmed that Tom Nook would feature in the game and that it's aiming for a 2019 release date. Other information such as the game's full title and gameplay features are missing, but Nintendo could use E3 2019 to fill in the blanks.

Many will also be hoping for news about Metroid Prime 4. A couple of months ago, Nintendo confirmed that Metroid Prime 4 development had been restarted at Retro Studios, the developer that had also developed the other Metroid Prime games. The news was disappointing for those who had hoped to get their hands on the game this year. Some sort of announcement of update about the game at E3 2019 would help to offset these worries and set fans' minds at ease.

Another likely reveal for Nintendo at E3 2019 is new Nintendo Switch consoles. Rumors have been circulating that Nintendo is working on two new Switch versions - a more powerful console that costs more money, as well as a cheaper Switch console that only features the tablet component with no dock. Some fans are eager to buy one of these new Switch versions for themselves, so fingers crossed E3 2019 will come with news on the release dates and prices for the reported Nintendo systems.
