\nThe 2018 Electronic Entertainment Expo has descended upon Los Angeles this week. We\u2019re getting news about the biggest and shiniest games heading to our TVs in the near (and distant) future. But the event isn\u2019t just about stuff we\u2019ve never seen before.
Nintendo\u2019s Switch console is snatching up some beloved properties that have already appeared on other platforms. These titles may be slow making it to the home and portable hardware, but they\u2019re no less welcome for players who haven\u2019t gotten a chance to try them out yet \u2014 especially those who enjoy playing on-the-go or away from the TV.
Here are some of the biggest Switch ports coming out of E3 2018.
Epic Games and People Can Fly\u2019s blockbuster, online multiplayer shooter is available on the Nintendo eShop starting today. It will include both the basic fort-building and zombie-slaying mode as well as the battle royale that came later. We\u2019d actually forgotten the original version existed since the new version came out.
Battle royale \u201cborrows\u201d Player Unknown\u2019s Battlegrounds\u2019 100-player, last-one-standing gameplay. It\u2019s quickly become a mainstay of streamers and competitive players. But if you just want to build a house and battle some enemies on Switch, you\u2019ll be able to do that, too.
Killer Queen is a multiplayer, arcade-style game that has teams of five players squaring off in a Joust-style combat. One player on each team controls the queen, and the others are drones and warriors sworn to protect her. It also has a bit about lobbing berries into the other player\u2019s hive and some huge, rideable snails, and how are these words appearing in this order?
The Switch version, which appends \u201cBlack\u201d to the title to show it\u2019s new and special, will be out later this year.
Bethesda revealed at its showcase that its mobile, free-to-play strategy card game was getting both a graphics overhaul and some new homes. It\u2019s heading to all major consoles, including Switch.
This is a solid score for the Switch, especially since Nintendo\u2019s getting Legends at the same time as its competitors Sony and Microsoft. And people who can\u2019t wait for the home version can get a head start on PC, and they\u2019ll be able to transfer their progress over to the ports once they launch.
Developer Team Cherry\u2019s adorable but creepy Metroidvania title was a surprise at Nintendo\u2019s presentation. And even more surprising than that was the reveal that it\u2019s out today. Hollow Knight first came out for PC and Mac last year, and the Switch\u2019s is the only home console version so far.
Bethesda first showed off its mobile take on the Fallout universe at E3 2016. And then it announced that it was already out, which was nice. The management title puts players in control of their very own Vault-Tec installation and charged them with recruiting a population and keeping it happy and safe from radiation and mutated animals.
This year, the company continued its tradition of just springing Fallout Shelter news on its audience. It said that not only is it coming to Switch and PlayStation 4, but it\u2019s out now. And just like the mobile version, it\u2019s free to play.
It wasn\u2019t quite a \u201cone more thing\u201d for Nintendo after its massive info drop for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. But it is looking like a great year for fighting game fans. Along with the mascot brawler, Nintendo is getting its own version of this year\u2019s anime brawler Dragon Ball FighterZ. Switch owners who are fans of the sprawling, explosive anime series will be able to kamehameha their friends into space later this year.<\/p>\n
