Microsoft and Nintendo's burgeoning relationship continued at E3 this year, with the news that Minecraft Dungeons is Switch-bound and that Banjo and Kazooie – characters owned by Microsoft, lest we forget – are joining the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate roster.

The Witcher III: Wild Hunt is a large game in several ways. Before its announcement during Nintendo's E3 2019 Direct, many doubted its huge world could be squeezed onto Switch's mobile chipset, but it seems that Saber Interactive has (hopefully) found a way.

Cyberpunk 2077 isn't just about Keanu Reeves, it's also about player choice. Despite all the awesome ways we saw to kill people in a gameplay demo at E3 2019 - guns, hacking sparring robots, and a nano-wire that can be used to slash throats, it was revealed that you can complete the game without a single death on your conscience.

Microsoft has had a blockbuster E3 with numerous exciting gaming announcements. One that will appeal to its long-time fan base will be the freshly baked Age of Empires II Definitive Edition that has been fully remastered to celebrate the 20th anniversary of its launch. The refresh brings high-res 4K Ultra HD visuals along with remastered audio to bring it into line with Age of Empires Definitive Edition which launched in 2017.

The doomed gaming platform's servers will shut down on June 25, meaning fans and preservationists have to take matters into their own hands to preserve its catalog.

CD Projekt Red’s open-world classic The Witcher 3 is going portable. Today, Nintendo revealed that the game, which first launched in 2015, will be available on the Switch later this year. It’ll be a “complete edition,” so players will get access to the base game as well as the handful of subsequent expansions. The Witcher 3 joins a growing list of older games that are finding new life on Nintendo’s portable / console hybrid, including the likes of Skyrim, LA Noire, Dark Souls, Diablo 3, and, most recently, Dragon’s Dogma.

Blizzard promises it won't go mobile-only any time soon

Fable, like pretty much every game Peter Molyneux was attached to, was wildly ambitious, and plenty of the features discussed pre-release didn’t make the final game. But Fable itself was already a vastly different game than the one the developers initially envisioned, and the idea of real-time tree growth doesn’t sound nearly as ambitious as what was planned for Wishworld. With a Fable 4 announcement increasingly likely, let’s look at what might have been.
