Get ready for a new "Super Smash Bros."

After leaks pretty much confirmed that Fortnite would be coming to the Nintendo Switch, the video game company finally revealed their plans for the world's most popular video game today. E3 is currently taking place in Los Angeles. For those who may not know, E3 is the biggest video game expo in the US. Every video game developer and publisher shows up at E3 to display their latest work, and even PlayStation, Microsoft, and Nintendo have presentations to outshine each other. 

During Nintendo's live stream presentation, they revealed that Fortnite would be making its way onto their Switch system today. The game should be available for free download right now at Nintendo's eShop. Fortnite for the Switch will have cross-platform play with the Xbox One, PC, Mac, and mobile users. Nintendo also showcased gameplay for a new Super Smash Bros. game entitled Ultimate that will be dropping this holiday season. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate will feature every single playable character that has ever been introduced in previous games, along with a few new characters. Metroid villain Ridley was used during a live demo, which also showcased new moves and levels.
