Last week was an exciting week for gamers. The annual Electronic Entertainment
Expo (E3 for short) was held in Los Angeles. The entire gaming industry,
including Alex from Mighty Ape HQ (lucky monkey!),
descended upon LA for a week to showcase their new games, consoles and gaming
products.
The expo officially took place from Wednesday to Friday at the Los Angeles
Convention Center but the excitement started a few days earlier when the big
games companies held their press conferences. The press conferences were full of
big announcements and surprises about what we can expect to be playing in the
next few years. They started with EA's conference on Sunday, June 11, and ended
with the Nintendo Spotlight at an eye-watering 4am (NZT) on Wednesday.
With the close of E3 comes the inevitable question. Who won E3? We will
attempt to answer that question for you today.
IGN awarded the IGN Game of Show Award for E3 2017 to Super Mario
Odyssey which is coming to Nintendo Switch on October 27th.
Let's see if we come to the same conclusion.

On Wednesday, Alex and I, the Social Media Monkeys of Mighty Ape New Zealand, were fortunate
enough to be invited to a Nintendo Switch hands-on event where we had the
opportunity to play a number of different demo titles on Nintendo’s newest
console, the highly anticipated Nintendo
Switch.
Like many others we were both particularly hesitant to purchase the Switch,
be it on launch day or ever. However, after a solid two hours of testing out the
demo versions of the hybrid console, we were both jumping up and down with glee
and excitement.
The Switch is a solid piece of gaming technology, with the entire console
looking absolutely sleek both in and out of the docking station. The docking
mechanisms were fairly simply, making it easy to plug in and take out. It also
feels extremely comfortable to hold when undocked.
