That was an action-packed 25 minutes. Nintendo confirmed the return of Samus with Metroid Prime 4 - although we only saw a title screen and little more - and showed some more of the frankly bonkers looking Super Mario Odyssey. That and a new Yoshi game, a new Kirby and glimpses of Xenoblade Chronicles 2. See it all as it happened here.
Our live coverage of this event has finished.
15:07 pm UTC Hello, hi, welcome, you.– Martin Robinson
15:08 pm UTC Under an hour to go until Nintendo's short presentation begins.– Martin Robinson
15:08 pm UTC This isn't like the other conferences, of course - as is Nintendo's style in recent years, it's a pre-recorded video presentation.– Martin Robinson
15:08 pm UTC And a brief one, too - this'll be 30 minutes long.– Martin Robinson
15:10 pm UTC Though Nintendo will keep up with a steady drip-feed of news and announcements with its Treehouse streams straight after and throughout E3.– Martin Robinson
15:11 pm UTC And - most importantly - there'll be an Arms tournament on the 14th.– Martin Robinson
15:19 pm UTCtpsaloha: June Armes, July Spaltoon, August Mario+Rabbids, November Odyssey. So what's coming in September and October?
September is Pokken.
– Martin Robinson
15:20 pm UTC That does leave October, November and December. Games we know are coming this year include Xenoblade, Fire Emblem Warriors and Super Mario Odyssey which could all fit into those remaining three months.– Martin Robinson
15:20 pm UTC And yes, Xenoblade is still down for 2017. No, I don't believe it either.– Martin Robinson
15:22 pm UTC And honestly, a game a month? Nintendo's doing a good job of making sure there's a steady stream of things to play for the Switch.– Martin Robinson
15:28 pm UTC My own hopes for this? I'd actually take Mario Kart 8 DLC, word on new characters/maps for Arms (yes I know it's not out yet but I've been playing it a while and I'm already hooked) and Virtual Console coming to Switch TODAY along with Super Mario Sunshine, F-Zero GX and Super Monkey Ball.– Martin Robinson
15:28 pm UTC We're probably just going to see some more Mario though. I'd also be okay with that.– Martin Robinson
15:55 pm UTC Five minutes!– Martin Robinson
15:55 pm UTC Five minutes until 2017 is officially declared The Year of Birdo.– Martin Robinson
15:55 pm UTC We live in exciting times.– Martin Robinson
15:56 pm UTC Imagine, though. Koizumi waddles on-stage in a Birdo outfit.– Martin Robinson
15:56 pm UTC Doesn't even say anything.– Martin Robinson
15:57 pm UTC Just stands there, staring down the camera for a good five minutes, soundtracked by silence.– Martin Robinson
15:57 pm UTC Then, a nod.– Martin Robinson
15:57 pm UTC Screen fades to white, text fades in.– Martin Robinson
15:57 pm UTC Stop egging him on.– Tom Phillips
15:57 pm UTC 2017: The Year of Birdo.– Martin Robinson
15:57 pm UTC IMAGINE.– Martin Robinson
15:59 pm UTC ONE MINUTE.– Martin Robinson
15:59 pm UTC That's 60 seconds. Less than that now!– Martin Robinson
16:00 pm UTC Yes! And it cracks open and a naked Kimishima in pink body paint walks out and just quietly squawks 'Birdo'.– Martin Robinson
16:00 pm UTC We're up and running with Arms. Which is out this week!– Martin Robinson
16:00 pm UTC It's quite good.– Martin Robinson
16:01 pm UTC Next, Rocket League - confirmation that it's coming to Switch.– Martin Robinson
16:01 pm UTC That's a thing.– Martin Robinson
16:01 pm UTC Then! FIFA on Switch, which we know about - not parity with the PS4 versions etc, but it does look decent.– Martin Robinson
16:01 pm UTC And! Splatoon 2 - it's out next month.– Martin Robinson
16:02 pm UTC Can. Not. Wait.– Martin Robinson
16:02 pm UTC Reggie at home. He's probably just taken the dust sheets off those sofas.– Martin Robinson
16:03 pm UTC This is what it'd be like to go around Reggie's for a coffee.– Martin Robinson
16:03 pm UTC Reggie's home is weird.– Martin Robinson
16:03 pm UTC Xenoblade Chronicles 2 to begin.– Martin Robinson
16:04 pm UTC Also get over yourselves you ninnies and play Xenoblade Chronicles X. Yes the music isn't all that but it's a brilliant game - and a fascinating precursor to Breath of the Wild with its open world play.– Martin Robinson
16:05 pm UTC Corr blimey guv'nor let's go to Elysium wotcha!– Tom Phillips
16:05 pm UTC A similar battle system, with fresh anime styles. And crazy English accents that skirt all across the country.– Martin Robinson
16:06 pm UTC I think Tom's pointed out in the past there are strong Skies of Arcadia vibes to this.– Martin Robinson
16:06 pm UTC A good thing, of course.– Martin Robinson
16:06 pm UTC It does look a bit tamer than Xenoblade Chronicles X.– Martin Robinson
16:06 pm UTC Confirmation that it's sticking with Holiday 2017.– Martin Robinson
16:06 pm UTC I'm going on holiday the first week of July, so maybe it's then?– Martin Robinson
16:07 pm UTC A new Kirby!– Martin Robinson
16:07 pm UTC And another reminder that you owe it to yourself to play the two most recent 3DS Kirby games - they're wonderful.– Martin Robinson
16:08 pm UTC 2018 release for that.– Martin Robinson
16:08 pm UTC Nintendo's Shinya Takahashi is standing outside the Nintendo office looking very pleased with himself.– Martin Robinson
16:09 pm UTC And here's Isihara from the Pokémon company. What's it all about?– Martin Robinson
16:09 pm UTC Pokken DX is one thing.– Martin Robinson
16:10 pm UTC The other important thing is that I'm writing Pokémon correctly. Tom gets angry if we don't.– Martin Robinson
16:10 pm UTC Game Freak is working on a new mainline Pokémon for the series?– Martin Robinson
16:10 pm UTC NEXT!– Martin Robinson
16:11 pm UTC Hooo boy.– Martin Robinson
16:11 pm UTC Metroid Prime 4.– Martin Robinson
16:11 pm UTC The megaton.– Martin Robinson
16:11 pm UTC It's in development for Switch.– Martin Robinson
16:11 pm UTC Just a logo for now.– Martin Robinson
16:12 pm UTC And to bring us crashing down to Earth, another mediocre Yoshi game.– Martin Robinson
16:12 pm UTC That's in 2018.– Martin Robinson
16:13 pm UTC Straight into Fire Emblem Warriors.– Martin Robinson
16:13 pm UTC This'll be our first proper look at the game in action - we've known about it for a while.– Martin Robinson
16:13 pm UTC Though I'm sure you know what to expect. You'll smash up lots of baddos.– Martin Robinson
16:14 pm UTC Chrom, Marth and all the crew are in. Smashing things up.– Martin Robinson
16:14 pm UTC It's a nice fit of theme and series, so I'm sure it'll be fun if familiar. Hyrule Warriors was rather lovely after all.– Martin Robinson
16:14 pm UTC That one's this autumn.– Martin Robinson
16:14 pm UTC AND!– Martin Robinson
16:14 pm UTC Aonuma, who did a Zelda or two.– Martin Robinson
16:15 pm UTC He makes centre partings cool. He makes me want a centre parting. What a dude.– Martin Robinson
16:15 pm UTC This'll be Breath of the Wild DLC - Trail of the Sword is what we're getting this summer.– Martin Robinson
16:15 pm UTC A challenge mode of sorts.– Martin Robinson
16:16 pm UTC And the real big news - a Tingle suit. (Though I think we knew about that already).– Martin Robinson
16:17 pm UTC And from that, a teaser for the second DLC pack that's coming towards the end of the year.– Martin Robinson
16:18 pm UTC Zelda at the centre of the key art - which gives some weight to the theory she'll be playable in this new expansion.– Martin Robinson
16:18 pm UTC New Amiibo for the Champions in Breath of the Wild.– Martin Robinson
16:18 pm UTC Reggie's on the beach now. He seems very serious about it though.– Martin Robinson
16:20 pm UTC Only ten more minutes to go. I could take a little longer honestly.– Martin Robinson
16:20 pm UTCMazzle: Reggie has a basement that he's doing all this from, that basement has, many uses.
Chilling.
– Martin Robinson
16:20 pm UTC Mario + Rabbids gets a brief mention. Donlan asks whether they're making an Amiibo of Yves.– Martin Robinson
16:21 pm UTC I still can't get over the fact I want to play that game.– Martin Robinson
16:21 pm UTC Rocket League gets a little more love.– Martin Robinson
16:21 pm UTC What a perfect fit for the Switch.– Martin Robinson
16:22 pm UTC Cross-platform play, and with exclusive items. Oh, and Mario and Luigi hats, of course.– Martin Robinson
16:23 pm UTC Wow. Yoshi looks... different.– Martin Robinson
16:23 pm UTC Super Mario Odyssey, which I'm getting serious Hoskins vibes from.– Martin Robinson
16:23 pm UTC Not sure whether that's a good thing or not.– Martin Robinson
16:23 pm UTC YES.– Martin Robinson
16:24 pm UTC YES.– Martin Robinson
16:24 pm UTC YES.– Martin Robinson
16:24 pm UTC This theme tune. That cap. This game.– Martin Robinson
16:24 pm UTC This is just too much.– Martin Robinson
16:24 pm UTC It's out October 27th.– Martin Robinson
16:25 pm UTC And that was this year's Nintendo presentation.– Martin Robinson
16:25 pm UTC Wow.– Martin Robinson
16:26 pm UTC Metroid's the headline, obviously. But Mario looks so, so crazy - and we're well overdue a crazy Mario game after the relatively strait-laced 3D World.– Martin Robinson
16:27 pm UTC We're going to sign off and let you watch the Nintendo Treehouse presentations in peace. And also hit the bottle after a fairly intense few days of E3 conferences and presentations.– Martin Robinson
16:28 pm UTC Our team in LA will be taking care of you from here on out, bringing you news and impressions from the show floor.– Martin Robinson
16:29 pm UTC The conferences and presentations are done, but the show most definitely isn't - expect plenty of news and a few more surprises over the next few days.– Martin Robinson
16:32 pm UTCmintgreen: Why wasn't there a single 3DS game featured?
Keep your eyes on the Treehouse presentations - Nintendo has a knack of announcing new games during them.
– Martin Robinson
16:32 pm UTC I'll leave you there - thanks for joining us these past few days, it's been fun!– Martin Robinson
16:33 pm UTC And see you all back here for Gamescom I guess - tara!– Martin Robinson
