A rather juicy Direct from Nintendo today! A few parts had been covered previously, however here's a somewhat TL;DR list of what was announced today:
Link's Awakening - We got some more footage of gameplay, including some NPCs and some Nintendo cameos! A Chamber Dungeon feature was also show, where you can obtain rooms throughout the game and use them to make a dungeon for your friends to play through!
Luigi's Mansion 3 - A new Luigi's Mansion game announced! A very hype starting point for the Direct, the new game takes place in a haunted hotel, with specific themes on each floor; there are also a load of mini-games which have been showcased! Release date being October 31st (of course).
Super Kirby Clash - A new Kirby Party game! 4-player madness involving juggling different jobs to make sure you have the right ones to get the job done (pun intended). Think FFX-2 but with cute pink blobs. Launching later on today!
Little Town Hero - An interesting turn-based strategy RPG (developed by GameFreak!), where you defeat enemies by choosing the right 'Idea'. Music composed by Toby Fox! Available for pre-purchase later today.
Fire Emblem Tokyo Mirage Sessions - Tokyo Mirage Sessions x Fire Emblem, essentially.
Deadly Premonition 2 - The long-awaited sequel of the Deadly Premonition game makes its way to the Switch! Due to release in 2020.
Return of Obra Dinn - A very pointillistic game, involving a time-travelling mechanic where you travel backwards in time to try and find out what happened to the Obra Dinn and what caused it to come back! Due to release Autumn 2019.
Rogue Company - An original shooter for the Switch, it seems very objective-based in their games modes.
Mario & Sonic Olympic Games - Announced in lieu of the Tokyo Olympics in 2020, there are some events which were revealed to be in the "retro" style of the older Mario/Sonic games!
