Volume 3 will also add new challenge battles with a roguelike element where you battle a wide range of enemies. The Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Expansion Pass launched last year but the Direct revealed that Volume 3 will be out on February 16 and will feature a new character called Masha who is a lapidarist (someone who cuts gemstones and isn’t, as we initially misheard it, an expert on butterflies thats lepidopterist). If there’s some substantiated evidence, better not to take it as a certainty, but the rumour is that Nintendo will fill the schedules between now and then with remasters and DLC both of which were heavily featured in the direct. They have no idea what the future will be like but it is clear that they won’t have anything major planned, so they’re ready to release a Nintendo Switch 2 next year.

Nintendo led with Pikmin 4, and as soon as it says that Direct focused on games released in the first half of the year, remained the same as the ones that will be able to launch after July. Even though there were plenty of interesting announcements outside of this, these are really well known and run by chronological order. Zelda: Tears Of the Kingdom was played very briefly, with no mention of the already leaked Switch console, that implies that there was probably another Direct before its release in May.Įven though a few years of rumours about a Metroid Prime remaster emerged, the shadow drop jumped out of the blue, so did the arrival of Game Boy and GBA games, and the advance war 1+2 was delayed.Įven Pikmin 4 being out in July was earlier than expected, but since it was all good news, nobody complained. The first Nintendo Direct of the year’s opening took place Wednesday night and since the first episode of Wednesday night was no matter what anyone was expecting. The Nintendo Switch has announced an impressive release schedule in the next six months. The new DLC of Splatoon 3 is only one of many new announcements (pic: Nintendo).
