Batman in virtual reality and a new Legend Of Zelda game were among the main attractions as the E3 video game show opened its doors for another year.
The event in Los Angeles draws around 50,000 attendees as big names including Sony, Microsoft, Activision and Electronic Arts come together to reveal their latest games.
A new instalment in the Call Of Duty series and a slimmer Xbox One console have also been announced at the show.
Yesterday, Japanese gaming giant Nintendo confirmed that a new version of the Legend Of Zelda - a hugely popular franchise for the firm that has spawned 18 previous games - would be released.
The game is expected to launch alongside a new Nintendo console, called the NX. The console does not have a release date but is expected by early next year.
The company is battling to compete with the PlayStation and Xbox consoles, which dominate market share in video games, leading to falling sales for Nintendo.
The new console is seen as a crucial opportunity for Nintendo to mount a comeback.
Long queues formed inside the Los Angeles Convention Centre to try out the new game for the first time.
There were similar crowds at the booth of developer Ubisoft, which is showcasing a short demo of Batman Arkham VR, a virtual reality game in the Dark Knight's universe.
Sony used its own press conference to reveal that its virtual reality system, PlayStation VR, will go on sale in October and the console manufacturer is using E3 to enable visitors to try the device.
A new Lego Star Wars game based on the recent Force Awakens movie is also on show at the event, which runs until Thursday.
