Revelations From The February Nintendo Direct

Revelations From The February Nintendo Direct

, , , 3

Nintendo is still keeping mum about their future plans (almost like they’re saving them for a future console) but this morning’s Nintendo Direct proves there will still be plenty to play this year from companies that aren’t them. Today was the day Penny’s Big Breakaway launches on Switch. This is from the team behind Sonic Mania, a very good game, and it’s their attempt at a 3D platformer, a much harder genre to get right than its 2D cousin. We’ve been curious about this one for a while. Hope it lives up to the hype! This one came out of nowhere and we’re intrigued. A soulslike where you play as a cartoon crab that lost its shell and has to find it. In the meantime you can slip into any object you find along the way, and some makeshift shells give you special abilities. It looks like a lot of fun; the game comes out April 25, and not just on Switch. Another game we’ve been waiting for is Vanillaware’s

Every Big Announcement From Today’s Nintendo Direct

Nintendo dumped a large, forty-minute Direct on us in the wee hours of the morning. They did not admit the Switch 2 is in development, like some expected, but with today’s emphasis on ports and smaller titles, it’s quite obvious they’re saving the big stuff for their next machine. Not that there won’t be plenty to enjoy over the next year and a half…just look at all this: F-Zero 99 — Today Everyone’s been begging Nintendo for another F-Zero for almost twenty years. This isn’t QUITE that, but it’s close. It’s a revamp of the original in Battle Royale form where 99 players crash into each other until just one is left standing. Due to the ephemeral nature of this kind of game, it won’t exist one day (like Pac-Man 99). We still need a real sequel someday. Horizon Chase 2 — Today Wasn’t expecting this. The original Horizon Chase Turbo was a great 3D update to the high-speed racers of the 80s and 90s. Trombone Champ — Today What

Today’s Nintendo Direct was more about the present than the future, disgorging a boatload of demos and surprise “today!” releases but little hints in the way of what the Switch will be doing with its time past the spring. To all those who believed Internet rumors that we’d be seeing the Switch 2 or a sequel to Tomodachi Life, sorry you’re so gullible. We might as well start with everything we get today, because it’s a lot: Nintendo Switch Online — Game Boy Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pass — Game Boy Advance Generally we get a new platform added to NSO when they start running out of things to put on the previous one. Hey, there’s plenty for the N64 that isn’t there yet (namely from Rare…is that a problem?) The Game Boy platform will be added immediately and includes Tetris, Super Mario Land 2, Link’s Awakening DX, Gargoyle’s Quest, Metroid II, Wario Land 3, Kirby’s Dream Land, Game and Watch Gallery 3, and weirdly, the Game Boy Color version

This morning, at a time when most of us were asleep ( 7 AM Pacific), Nintendo streamed out their latest Direct, detailing everything they have planned for the 2022 holiday season and beyond. As we usually do, we’ve taken notes on the entire video and created this list, in chronological order, of the Switch lineup revealed. (There were an unusually large number of farming sims this year.) Radiant Silvergun — Today There’s always some game that launches on Direct Day. This classic shooter isn’t a bad surprise. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kM9xRrIqYVw Various Daylife — Today Tunic — September 27 You thought Tunic was there already, didn’t you? I feel like a physical is inevitable, though it will probably be through a limited print outlet. Life is Strange: Arcadia Bay Collection — September 27 Note to those interested in the physical edition: The first game will be on the cart, Before The Storm will be a download. Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope — October 20 Bayonetta 3– October 28 The below trailer wasn’t

There Was Nothing Really “Mini” About This Nintendo Direct Mini

If this is the size of a Nintendo Direct Mini now, I don’t know how big the Nintendo Direct Maxi must be. The presentation went on for nearly a half-hour and introduced a new third-party title every minute. As we always do, we’re going to conveniently list them in order of release date….but the hugest announcement we’re going to keep off the list and talk about now: PERSONAS THREE THROUGH FIVE ARE CONFIRMED FOR SWITCH. We’ve been begging for this for a LONG time, and the begging only got louder when Joker became a playable character in Smash Bros despite having no presence on Nintendo consoles. With the same games also confirmed for XBox and PC, it seems the era of Sony exclusivity for Atlus’ hit series is truly over. We really just wanted the Switch versions, though. The release date is the same as everyplace else: Persona 5 Royal on October 21, Persona 3 Portable and Persona 4 Golden sometime later. Portal Companion Collection — today We knew it

Today’s Nintendo Direct was HUGE — the Kirby image above is very apt, and will be explained in a little bit. There’s a lot to cover so let’s skip the introduction and get to it: Triangle Strategy Prologue Demo — today As with the other, similar-looking game from Square, your progress will transfer over to the full game when it is released. You can play up to the end of Chapter 3. EarthBound and EarthBound Beginnings on NSO — today “Here, HERE’S your EarthBound, are you happy now?” “But where’s Mother 3?” Metroid Dread Free Update – – today “Dread Mode” in which you die in one hit, and “Rookie Mode” in which you die in 1,000,000,000,000 hits, are now options in the game. A Boss Rush mode will also be added in April. GetsuFumaDen: Undying Moon — today Kingdom Hearts Integrum Masterpiece For Cloud — tomorrow Only Cloud can play it? That spiky-haired brat gets everything! Assassin’s Creed: The Ezio Collection — February 17 Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster

Now let’s get to the actual games. There will be plenty to keep Switch players busy through the remainder of the year, and some excellent stuff is now confirmed for 2022. Like a fully 3D Kirby, Splatoon 3 and the finally confirmed release window for Bayonetta 3! Castlevania Advance Collection — today It was already common knowledge this was coming, but instant delivery was a lovely surprise. If you’ve never played these, the GBA Castlevanias are some of the finest in the series. Actraiser Renaissance — today Great day to be a fan of the classics! Actraiser was one of the best console launch titles made (originally for the SNES) and now it’s back with an HD makeover. Deltarune Chapter 2 — today Arcade Archives: Pac-Man Arcade Archives: Xevious — both today I know rights can be tricky things, but the Arcade Archive’s been around since the Switch’s inception and it took this long to bring out the original Pac-Man? Hut Wheels Unlimited — September 30 The final Smash Bros

If your social media feeds seem especially busy right now and people can’t stop making Chris Pratt jokes, there’s a reason: Nintendo just dropped another Direct. As we typically do, we’ll be listing the revealed Fall 2021 – Winter 2022 game lineup in order of release, but there were so many additional announcements, we couldn’t fit them all into one post. First, we have to mention what’s going on with Nintendo Switch Online…. Rumors of an N64 controller for NSO, along with a lineup of N64 games to use it with, were true….but it’s bigger than that. The Sega Genesis has unexpectedly been folded into the lineup, and Nintendo will be selling NSO controllers for BOTH systems ($49.95 each). The N64 will have Super Mario 64, Mario Kart 64, StarFox 64, Yoshi’s Story, Sin & Punishment, Ocarina of Time, Mario Tennis, Dr. Mario 64 and something called WinBack on day one, with other titles like Majora’s Mask and Banjo-Kazooie (you read that right) coming in the future.

Nintendo Schedules E3 Direct For June 15

Nintendo Schedules E3 Direct For June 15

It’s E3 month, and though that doesn’t mean what it used to, there will still be a substantially larger amount of video game news coming out in June than there will be the rest of the year. Sony ejected themselves from the conference years ago, but Nintendo is still participating…and they’ve revealed the time and date of their official E3 Direct. The Direct will broadcast June 15, 2021 at 9 AM Pacific / 12 PM Eastern, and last for around 40 minutes, followed by the casual atmosphere of Treehouse Live for three hours after that. Nintendo says the presentation will focus on games due out on the Switch within 2021. We anticipate a lot of surprise announcements, as the fall lineup of 2021 on Switch is mostly unknown at this point aside from a port of Zelda: Skyward Sword. Everyone’s hoping to see Breath of the Wild 2, but that game is definitely not a 2021 release. If you’re expecting news on Metroid Prime 4, don’t be a fool. The

Splatoon 2 Gets All-New Mode

Splatoon 2 Gets All-New Mode

At the recent Nintendo Direct, the Big N made sure to shed some more light on the highly anticipated Splatoon 2, and they did so by unveiling an all-new mode called Salmon Run. It’s basically the Splatoon version of Horde Mode, but with some fun twists. First off, you are facing off against Salmon-like enemies called “Chum”, which will attack in waves. When you kill them, you get special eggs as rewards. This is actually the true goal of the mode, but we’ll get to that. As you would expect, there are much tougher enemies that come out in Salmon Run that require true teamwork to beat. And when you do beat them, you’ll get better eggs. The collection of eggs isn’t random for the record, as you’ll get them so you can get rewards that’re being kept secret for now. Another twist is that your Inklings will have special gear, ones that you can use to actually revive your teammates. Which means that this mode won’t just allow you

Nintendo has revealed that a special Nintendo Direct will be held on Wednesday at 3pm Pacific Time/6PM Eastern/5PM Central. The fun part as you’ll see in the tweet below is that not only will Nintendo be talking Nintendo Switch and 3DS, but also, they’ll be focusing on Splatoon 2 and Arms. Which is good, because now we know at least a little in regards to what we can expect. So, what can we speculate? Well, it’s very possible they’ll talk about the Splatoon 2 Global Testfire that recently happened. Maybe reveal how that went, or reveal some new things about the game like a story mode, new maps or guns, that kind of thing. Nintendo Direct incoming! Tune in 4/12 at 3 PM PT. pic.twitter.com/SFHXEaFQIc — Nintendo of America (@NintendoAmerica) April 10, 2017 For Arms though, it may be a different story. A lot of people are thinking it’ll come out in May, adding another “big name” 1st party title to the Nintendo Switch lineup before E3 (Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

Nintendo revealed some enlightening news for this week’s Nintendo Direct, which was the final Super Smash Bros. Nintendo Direct video presentation. You can watch the complete presentation in the player below. But among the announcements were two new DLC characters for Super Smash Bros. Wii U and 3DS, including Bayonetta. Super Smash Bros. franchise creator Masahiro Sakurai narrated the presentation and revealed the remaining DLC characters for Super Smash Bros. on Nintendo Wii U and 3DS. Those two characters will be Bayonetta of the Bayonetta franchise and Corrin from Fire Emblem : Fates. Corrin will have both male and female versions in the game. The Corrin DLC character will not have a new stage, but there will be two new musical tracks for the game with Corrin. Also, the 3DS version will have new Ryomo and Xander-themed trophies. The new fighter doesn’t have a dedicated stage, but buying them as DLC will also net you two new musical tracks. The 3DS version of the DLC also comes with Ryomo and
