[Speaking Japanese]
- [Translator] Hello, everyone.
I'm Yoshiaki Koizumi from Nintendo.
And this Nintendo Direct for E3 2019
will showcase a variety of games.
Many of them coming soon.
But, before we dig into the next game,
there is someone I'd like to introduce first.
[ominous chuckle]
What?
What are you doing here?
[Bowser growls forcefully]
[Bowser speaks unintelligibly]
- Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Wait a minute.
There's been a bit of a mix-up.
You're not the right Bowser.
Sorry,
but I'm the right Bowser for this presentation.
[Bowser grumbles]
- [Translator] Not this way.
- No, no, this way.
- [Translator] Bye, bye.
- Maybe next time.
[Bowser roars]
- [Translator] Are you related?
- No, but we get that a lot.
- [Translator] Well, let's get back to it.
Please take it away.
- Hi, everyone.
I'm Doug Bowser from Nintendo of America.
And I'm thrilled to join you for today's Nintendo Direct.
This is our chance to show the world
we have games for every type of player on Nintendo Switch.
Whether you love action, RPGs,
or you're just looking for something new,
we've got you covered.
- [Translator] Okay,
so, let's get a look at one of those games
by taking a tour...
of Luigi's Mansion 3.
[Nintendo Switch Snap]
[thunder clap] [mysterious playful music]
- Hello?
[nervously] Mario?
[Luigi yells]
- [Narrator] Luigi's invited to a gorgeous hotel
with Mario, Peach, and the others.
[condescendingly] Oh, lucky him.
Luigi's Mansion 3.
This hotel is much more than meets the eye.
For, not long after Luigi arrives,
things take a dark turn.
We begin our tour by taking in some sights and sounds.
You may never leave.
Er...
WANT to leave.
The other guests certainly don't plan to move on.
They're ghosts, after all.
And they're rather aggressive.
Simply scare them with the strobulb.
Then suck them up.
Luigi's new Poltergust G-00
has the powerful suction capabilities required
and other new features, as well.
[zany music]
First, the Slam.
While trapping a ghost, slam it on the ground
to inflict some damage.
It helps to get other ghosts in on the action.
Next, the Suction Shot.
Fire the plunger to attach it to something.
Then pull the string and...
you can destroy furniture and more.
It's effective against certain ghost types, too.
[whistle]
Sometimes, ghosts may feel inclined to gang up on you.
In such situations, a Burst should do.
The powerful air pressure released will blow away ghosts.
And it's perfect for when you need a little air.
[strange, deliberate music]
Ah, we simply can't overlook the latest invention
from Professor E. Gadd.
Namely Gooigi.
Change between Luigi and Gooigi to use both their skills.
Gooigi can do everything from slipping through metal fences
to walking on spikes.
Indeed, there are obstacles too great
for Luigi to handle on his own.
And, if you pass a Joy-Con controller to a friend,
he makes for a great co-op partner.
But proceed with caution.
Gooigi and water definitely don't mix.
[Faster, spooky music]
Now, please direct your attention to...
The ScareScraper.
Spooky, sure.
Yet it also houses up to eight players
for local or online co-op gameplay.
Defeat all ghosts before time runs out.
Seek and find our dear, misplaced Toads.
And face any challenges the tower throws at you together.
[elevator ding]
[spooky, slow waltz]
- [Male Narrator] What a place to wake up in.
A haunted hotel with floor after floor of oddities.
Many traps and mischievous ghosts lurk within.
What will befall our missing Mario and friends?
And his dear brother Luigi?
Their fate rests in your hands.
Luigi's Mansion 3.
- So, that was Luigi's Mansion 3.
The latest game in a series that I personally love.
And we can look forward to seeing
some of the new gameplay elements
that await in this strange hotel
as we dive deeper into this title
on Nintendo Treehouse Live at E3 2019.
We'll be streaming content,
some you've never seen before, right from the show floor.
Including live gameplay of Super Mario Maker 2.
And, on day three, our Treehouse staff will
get their hands on some promising indie games
that are new to Nintendo Switch.
While you watch today's Nintendo Direct,
keep an eye out for this icon to learn
what other games will appear
on Nintendo Treehouse Live at E3 2019.
You won't want to miss it.
Or this.
Have a look.
[Nintendo Switch Snap]
[slow, suspenseful music with harp sounds]
- Aughra slept too long.
Far too long.
Hmph!
Sing me your story.
What has become of...
[yells in surprise]
Thra, no.
What have they done?
Avarice unchecked for an age.
Evil takes root.
Darkness spreads.
[crashing sound, then fast, stirring music]
But, from this dark, light.
Brighter than the three suns.
They spark to life.
Heroes of Thra, strong and brave.
Strength and bravery alone will not save Thra.
No!
Unlock your true potential.
Unite as one.
Only together can you defeat what is to come.
Heroes of Thra,
Hmph!
they're going to need all the help they can get
[Nintendo Switch Snap]

[solo violin ballad]
[Nintendo Switch Snap]
[melancholy orchestral music]
[musical crescendo, then heroic orchestral music]
- [Female Narrator] Action RPG "Trials of Mana"
is getting a global release on Nintendo Switch.
Set destiny in motion with the power of mana.
Trials of Mana.
[music fades]
[melancholy electronic music]
[music fades]
[Nintendo Switch Snap]
[wind blowing through leaves] [crows cawing]
[acoustic guitar plays, then builds]
- [Geralt] I'm looking for a woman with ashen hair.
Seen her?
- [Eredin] Witcher, I was hoping you'd come.
[energetic singing and guitar music]
[Nintendo Switch Snap]
[wistful solo piano music]
- [woman] Let's all agree to meet back at the monastery
exactly five years from today.
- [man] Like a class reunion?
- You will come, won't you?
Years ago, we fought here as classmates.
- As big class reunions go,
this one's gotta be the worst in history.
What should we do, teach?
- Kill every last one of them.
[music builds to dramatic orchestral sounds]
- Still, we have no choice
but to eliminate those who cling to
unreasonable ideas of justice.
- [man] Someone must put a stop to this cycle
of the strong trampling the weak.
- Soon, Feldstar consumes even the darkness itself.
- Yet we have the strength to scale the walls between us.
To reach out our hands in friendship
so we can open our true hearts to one another.
That's how we win.
- My teacher.
- Both sides of time are revealed to me.
What shall you do?
[man yelling]
- [woman] How lovely it would be
for this moment to last forever.
[speaking Japanese]
- [Translator] Nintendo Switch is the only gaming console
you can play not only on your TV at home,
but anywhere you go.
In fact, with a system like this,
it might be fun to play Resident Evil
at a location like this.
[eerie, ambient music] [footsteps in grass]
- [woman] This is perfect, right?
- [man] Yeah.
[door creaks open]
[a grandfather clock chimes]
No lights?
- No lights.
Hey, over there.
[thunder crashes]
- Okay, let's do this.
- Okay.
- [Sinister Male Voiceover] Resident Evil.
- Can you open it?
- I'll try.
See what's through there.
- Ah.
[gunshot]
- Fail.
[gutteral growl]
- Did it just eat him? [male yells]
It's gonna come back. - Okay, okay.
- Okay, okay, okay, okay.
- Oh! Ooh!
- [both] Oh!
- [gasp]
- [male] I got it.
[percussive ambient music intensifies]
Oh, I knew it.
[Dog angrily growls]
- [both] Oh!
- Woah!
[music builds]
[high impact crash] [music stops]
[door opening]
- Ah!
[high impact slam]
[frantic action music]
- [sinister male voiceover] Resident Evil.
[speaking Japanese]
- [Translator] Playing a Resident Evil game
in a place like that might not be my way to play.
But...
I bet you could find your way to play.
Don't you think?
For now, please take a look.
[Nintendo Switch Snap]
[snoring]
- Was today the 4th of July?
If not, is the empire striking back or what?
Looks like things are gonna get weird today.
Henshin!
[energetic power-rock music]
Get some!
As you can see, things got all funky real quick.
There's probably some planet eating-type dude
waiting for me up ahead.
All yoked and powerful and trying to take over the world or something.
[retro electronic music begins]
But don't you worry.
A hero descends.
What?
There are no heroes in this world?
Oh, but there totally are.
My name is Travis Touchdown.
I'm the last hero around.
Here to save the world.
I'm also just a passing assassin.
Now, let's do this.
Start the game.
[music slows]
[waves gently crashing on shore]
- [Woman] Welcome back, Travis.
To zee garden of madness.
[Nintendo Switch Snap]
[synth intro builds to intense orchestral music]
- [woman] This is Kaiser.
He led an elite team of contras during the war.
Hungry beast!
HB is actually a cyborg.
I love him so much.
This is Miss Harakiri and her alien gut bucket.
They survived by merging together during the Alien Wars.
The Gentleman, the sweetest bug you'll ever meet.
- [Gentleman] You soiled my armor.
[music dramatically slows]
[crash sound, then intense orchestral music]

[trumpet fanfare]
[orchestral music begins, then intensifies]
[dragon roar]
[speaking Japanese] - Konichiwa!
- [Translator] Hello, I'm Shinya Takahashi from Nintendo.
Earlier this month, we held a Pokémon Direct
for the latest games in the series.
Pokémon Sword...
and Pokémon Shield.
The developers from Game Freak
showcased the new Galar Region.
The location of your new adventure.
And some new Pokémon you'll encounter there.
It will be awhile until these games launch...
So, please stay tuned.
By the way, in these games,
you can use certain functions
of the Poké Ball Plus accessory.
Allowing you to take a Pokémon from one of these games
[Grookey sound]
You may not be able to use the device as a game controller.
But, if you spend some quality time
with a favorite Pokémon of yours,
then something good might happen.
In the Nintendo booth at this year's E3,
fans can play Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield
for the first time anywhere in the world.
[crowd cheering]
In this gameplay demo, you can challenge
one of the gyms in the Galar Region.
The one and only water gym
where the water type gym leader, Nessa,
will be there waiting for you.
If you're attending this year's show,
I encourage you to experience
a battle between Dynamax Pokémon,
which is an advanced strategy from this region.
Also, immediately after this Nintendo Direct,
stay tuned for live gameplay
of Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield
on Nintendo Treehouse Live.
And now I'd like to shift gears.
Please have a look at this.
[Nintendo Switch Snap]
[driving, dramatic orchestral music]
- I've been waiting for you.
As you know, Earth is currently under
extradimensional attack.
Chimeras like the ones you've just seen for the first time.
At this rate all of humankind
will be pulled into the chimeras' dimension.
We're facing down the end of the world.
Through blood, sweat, and years of research,
we finally made it.
The ultimate counter-chimeric weapon.
By neurologically syncing
captured chimeras with human operators,
we establish control and make powerful allies.
I am referring, of course, to the Legions.
- [Woman] I'll give you some parting advice.
Your power, it's not the blessing you think it is.
- [Woman] When a Legionis and a Legion
are perfectly synchronized,
it's like they're two parts of one body.
- [Woman] No use.
The override release isn't going through.
- That's impossible.
- [Woman] And, when half of that body is about to die,
the Legion survival instincts kick in to save it.
- [Woman] No way.
There's no way.
What good could this possibly be?
- [Man] It's a long shot. But it's the only shot we have.
It's all up to you, my friend.
- [Woman] A blessing from the Legion.
Or maybe I should say a curse.
- [Man And Woman Saying As One] We can't turn back now.
I've got to know the whole truth.
He's still alive out there.
I know he is.

- [Woman] Death by our hands
is not an honor they have earned.
[growling synth followed by pulsing orchestral music]
They deserve something much worse.
- [Magneto] Even with this stone at my command,
this may not be a battle we can win.
- [Spider-Man] Whatever's happening, we can beat it.
Keep fighting.
[orchestral music intesifies with driving percussion]
- [Elsa Bloodstone] Jump in any time now, darlings.
- [Elektra] They will pay for what they've done in blood.
- [Ebony Maw] All hope is fleeting in the face of Thanos.

- [Translator] Originally, we announced this title
as a 2019 release.
However, we need to change its release date
to March 20th of 2020...
to ensure that the game is the best it can be,
we must ask you to wait a little longer than we thought.
We hope you'll look forward
to the latest installment of Animal Crossing.
On Nintendo Treehouse Live,
the game's producer, Mister Nogami,
and the director, Miss Kyogoku,
will come on for a live demonstration
of some early moments in the game.
So, please stick around until it starts.
By the way, there are many different types of games
coming to Nintendo Switch from Nintendo and our partners.
So, we've prepared a highlight reel
to show you what's in store for 2019 and beyond.
Let's have a look.

- [Translator] That obviously wasn't Duck Hunt's silhouette was it?
Please stay tuned for more information
about DLC in the future.
As for Nintendo Switch, we have more games in development
beyond what we've shown you today.
I'm looking forward to the day we can introduce them to you.
[whispers] Speaking of...
before we end this Direct,
I actually have one more thing to show you.
Thank you very much for watching.
Until next time.
