Splatoon 3, Mario Golf, Legend of Mana - Announcements from the recent Nintendo Direct

After a full 18 months, specifically from E3 2019, Nintendo held a full Nintendo Direct presentation that lasted as long as 50 minutes. In those hours, the Japanese company made a huge number of announcements of new games, and new details were brought for the games announced for Switch.

There were also big announcements, remasters, as well as stories about upcoming Switch ports. So let's go.

Yes, this game is still very current, and Nintendo knows that, which is why it announced the addition of new heroes on Direct. The roster is joined by characters from Xenoblade Chronicles 2 - Pyra and Mythra.

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD

Fans of the Zelda games will be looking forward to July 16, because then the remaster of the Skyward Sword HD game will be released to mark the 35th anniversary of the franchise. This will probably be just one in a series of benefits since three and a half decades is not a small amount.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2

After the initial announcement we didn’t get any new details for Breath of the Wild 2 and that’s been the case for a long time.
