I played all of Nintendo's big upcoming games of 2019, from the new 'Pokemon' to a major new 'Zelda,' and the one I liked most was a huge surprise

• Nintendo has a gaggle of huge games coming to its wildly popular Switch throughout the rest of 2019.
• I played all of them at the video game industry's big event last week, E3 2019, including the next major games in the "Pokémon" and "Legend of Zelda" franchises.
• In a surprising twist, the most fun I had with any game in Nintendo's huge lineup was one starring Mario's goofy brother Luigi.

Nintendo's got a huge lineup of blockbuster games coming in 2019.

There's a major new "Pokémon" game ("Pokémon Sword & Shield") and a major new "Legend of Zelda" game ("The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening"). There's even a major new Mario game on the way in "Super Mario Maker 2."

All these games and more were playable at E3 2019, the huge annual video game trade show that happened in Los Angeles last week - and I played them all! Though all the games were fun, one starring Mari's goofy brother Luigi stood out from the rest.
