E3 2019 is about to hit California, and now one of the biggest publishers out there, Nintendo, has confirmed the Switch games it's taking to the show this year that will be playable. We already knew about a few of them, but there are still some surprising titles (and a notable omission) included in the list.

　　In a press release, Nintendo confirmed it's bringing Pokemon Sword and Shield to the E3 show floor. That was to be expected, after the recent Pokemon Nintendo Direct stream, in which we discovered Sword and Shield's release date, story details, and more.

　　Now Playing: Nintendo E3 2019 Games Lineup Revealed - GS News Update

　　In addition, the platform holder stated Luigi's Mansion 3, The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening, and Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order will all be playable on Nintendo Switch. There's no mention of the upcoming Animal Crossing for Switch, which is yet to be properly revealed, but Nintendo does say "other games" not listed in its press release will be playable at its booth.

　　There could be some surprises in store for its Direct presentation that will end up being playable, but just because a game can't be played doesn't mean it won't be showing its face during the broadcast. In other words, there's still some hope for new information on Animal Crossing--but there aren't any guarantees, either.

　　Other Switch games we already knew to be attending E3 include Doom Eternal, FIFA 20, and Fortnite. We may well see more revealed during Nintendo's E3 Direct presentation, though the company's E3 plans span more than just that press conference.

　　While Nintendo is playing its cards close to its chest for now, many other publishers and developers have confirmed lots more. For more E3 coverage, be sure to check out the full E3 conference schedule and our running list of every single game confirmed to appear at E3 2019.
