Three key titles under the Nintendo gaming brand will be coming out soon after the company revealed the respective release dates of "Starfox Zero," "Xenoblade Chronicles X," and "Mario Tennis."

Of the new games, "Starfox Zero" and "Mario Tennis" will be officially released on Nov. 20. The two game titles were officially showcased at Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3).

On the other hand, the "Xenoblade Chronicles X," which was developed by Monolith Soft, will arrive on Dec. 4. Considered to be one of the bigger Wii U titles Western audiences can look forward to, folks who have been looking for a different kind of game that includes quests, role playing, and combat will surely want to see what the game will have to offer.

In "Xenoblade Chronicles X," players get to explore the technological world caught in the middle of war together with comrades. Players can team up with AI or another human player as they try to level up and explore the world with the intent of establishing peace in the game world setting.

The three aforementioned games are set to be showcased at the PAX Prime event happening at Wyvern Theater in Seattle this weekend. Other titles expected to be on hand at the event include "Super Mario Maker," "The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes," "Chibi-Robo! Zip Lash," "Splatoon," and "Super Smash Bros."

The reveal of the new games will apparently not be all that folks present at the Wyvern Theater will be treated to.

Also in store are some tournaments using a variety of Nintendo 3DS games like "Super Smash Bros." People who want to take part in the tournament will have to bring their own Nintendo 3DS system though.

A Q&A session will also be held on Aug. 29 at 2:30–3:30 p.m. PST (or 2:30–3:30 p.m. EST) at the Wyvern Theater for those curious minds who want to get more details on the upcoming games. It looks like it will be a pretty busy weekend over at the PAX Prime event this weekend!
