More third-party ports for Switch were announced at E3 this week. Fortnite was the big one, but a game like Dragon Ball FighterZ is also notable.

Nintendo Labo also isn’t intended to be an answer to VR. That’s according to Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime, who spoke with Toronto Sun about the new initiative.
