Their platform, <a href=\"https:\/\/store.google.com\/product\/stadia_founders_edition\">Stadia<\/a>, is set to herald in an era of console-less gaming. Using a Chromecast and a controller, you can play some huge games like <em>Tomb Raider Trilogy<\/em>, <em>Football Manager 2020<\/em> and <em>Mortal Kombat 11<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll be able to play through your TV, laptop or desktop. For mobile gaming, you would need to be on a Google Pixel phone. Stadia is available to pre order now \u201d\u201c for \u00a3119 you get the Chromecast, controller, three months of Stadia Pro, Founder\u2019s badge, Buddy Pass and Stadia name.<\/p>\n<p>Stadia Pro is a subscription service, costing \u00a38.99 monthly which gives you exclusive discounts on certain games and you can buy games whenever you want. The resolution is higher too, with up to 4K compared to 1080p on the Base option.<\/p>\n<p>If console gaming is still your thing, there\u2019s loads to be excited about.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RSGgCfbYrg0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Nintendo announcements<\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s set to be an amazing few months if you\u2019re a Switch gamer. First up is <em>Luigi\u2019s Mansion 3<\/em>, which is set in a haunted hotel. Luigi is invited to stay with his friends like Mario but lo and behold, things aren\u2019t as they seem. One big talking point surrounding the game is the introduction of Gooigi, a green, slimy version of the character that allows you to slip through bars. We don\u2019t have a specific release date for the game just yet, but we\u2019re expecting it to drop before the year is through.<\/p>\n<p><em>Animal Crossing: New Horizon<\/em> was due for release this year but has been pushed back to March 2020. Although we won\u2019t get to play it as soon as we\u2019d hoped, gameplay was revealed to give us some insight into what we can expect. You aren\u2019t managing a town but rather you\u2019re making camp on a tropical island!<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BsE5SogHigc\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Two <em>Zelda<\/em> games were teased at E3. There\u2019s no release date for it as of yet but <em>The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2<\/em> is coming to Switch. <em>The Legend of Zelda: Link&#8217;s Awakening<\/em> does have a release date \u201d\u201c you\u2019ll be able to play it on September 20 this year.<\/p>\n<p><em>Super Smash Bros. Ultimate<\/em> is getting two new additions \u201d\u201c Banjo-Kazooie and The Hero from Dragon Quest XI. <em>The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt<\/em> is coming to Switch, but we haven\u2019t been told when exactly. We\u2019d anticipate a release before the end of the year.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/aOOCMipM0Xo\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">EA announcements<\/h3>\n<p>EA used their time at E3 to delve a little deeper into the games we\u2019re already aware of so we get a better experience of what to expect. Two games we knew were coming were <em>FIFA 20<\/em> and <em>Madden NFL 20<\/em> (well, there is a new version every year!).<\/p>\n<p><em>FIFA 20<\/em>\u00a0is set for released on September 27 unless you\u2019re an EA Access player \u201d\u201c you\u2019ll get to lace up your boots on September 19. The latest version sees the introduction of Volta Football you can play either 3 v 3 Rush, 4 v 4, 4 v 4 Rush, 5 v 5 and even Futsal matches indoor and outdoor. It\u2019s dubbed as an up-to-date version of FIFA Street. Manual defending has been tweaked, as has shooting \u201d\u201c in terms of a one on one with the \u201d\u02dckeeper and volley-crossing.<\/p>\n<p>The latest instalment to the FIFA empire also sees the end of Alex Hunter\u2019s journey.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8S1wg9XpWJs\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><em>Madden NFL 20<\/em> is coming on August 2. Some of the most talked about features include Face of the Franchise \u201d\u201c you get to pick your player\u2019s college, take them through the draft stage and onto super stardom! Franchise mode and Pro Bowl are both back for the latest edition of the game. For the best of the best, there\u2019s the Superstars category, consisting of 50 players who enter \u201d\u02dcthe zone\u2019 to use X-Factor abilities.<\/p>\n<p>For the <em>Star Wars<\/em> fans, there was a further look into <em>Jedi: Fallen Order<\/em>. It\u2019s a single player game that\u2019s due for release in November, tying in nicely for Christmas time and the next film. The story takes place post-<em>Episode III: Revenge of the Sith<\/em>, and you play a former Jedi padawan named Cal Kestis. From what we\u2019ve been shown, the game will be very story driven so there\u2019ll be plenty to sink your teeth into.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-ktN4bycj9s\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Microsoft announcements<\/h3>\n<p>We\u2019d confidently say that Microsoft\u2019s contribution to E3 was the most talked about of the event \u201d\u201c for a number of reasons. First off, is Project Scarlett. That\u2019s the current name of the next generation of Xbox console, which was teased but we haven\u2019t seen what it will actually look like. It\u2019s set to be released at the end of next year, allowing for another E3 event to take place to divulge further.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/59pvij73-N0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The other main talking point was Keanu Reeves. No, really. Keanu made an appearance at E3 to showcase the role he played in <em>Cyberpunk 2077<\/em>. In the game, you have a biochip in your brain and you may just have the key to immortality. Such a gift is widely sought after by hackers who want to tap into your brain. Sounds good, right? You\u2019ve only a few months to wait before you can play it for yourself \u201d\u201c its released April 11 next year.<\/p>\n<p><em>Game of Thrones<\/em> fans can rejoice as George R.R. Martin, the brains behind the incredible series, is putting his craft into the game <em>Elden Ring<\/em>. It looks to be an incredible bleak game but if the storyline is as strong as the ones we\u2019ve seen on <em>GoT<\/em>, it\u2019ll bring together the best possible elements for an immersive experience.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>We bet you can&#8217;t wait to get your hands on these amazing games! <a href=\"http:\/\/192.168.3.178\/sell-tech\/trade-in-consoles\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=e3-2019\">Trade in your games console<\/a> with musicMagpie to make cash for your next gaming adventures &#8211; we&#8217;ll give you an instant price and pay you the same day we receive your stuff!
