The Nintendo Direct has come and gone. With it, we got to see some new footage of highly anticipated sequels and upcoming launches. Here's everything you ...

We got a brief look at all the characters coming to the game and snippets of their story. The Nintendo Direct opened with a first look at a new Fire Emblem game titled Fire Emblem Engage. It Takes Two is coming to Nintendo Switch is a shockingly blurry port. A number of games coming to Nintendo Switch were shown off in quick succession. Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil VII and Resident Evil 3 are also coming to the cloud for Nintendo Switch later this year. It's a Niantic game in the vein of Pokemon Go, so the idea is somewhat similar. Just Dance 2023 Edition is set to feature live-service elements, where the game will be updated throughout its life and will feature a more application-like user interface. Master Detective Archives: Raincode is the title and it's coming Spring 2023. It's a classic JRPG where players must descend the tower of salvation to save the world. Resident Evil: Village is coming to Nintendo Switch through the cloud. Not much was shown in the trailer itself outside of Link jumping off of a floating platform, climbing trees, and soaring through the sky. Bayonetta 3 received a new trailer (along with an official release date), Pikmin 4 got a brief tease, and most importantly, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom was officially given a title with a release date set for May 12, 2023.

A sequel to Legend of Zelda: Breath of The Wild has just been announced for Nintendo Switch with a May 12 2023 release date - there's very few details but ...

From the wild back to the kingdom. I love the concept of sky islands so I hope there's a good amount of them. Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is the follow-up to Breath of the Wild, the Nintendo Switch's bestselling game and one of the most highly-rated titles on the handheld console. Another commenter, this time on YouTube, wrote: "Interesting contrast with the previous game's title. Nintendo has just dropped a brand new teaser trailer for the sequel to the bestselling Legend of Zelda: Breath of The Wild. The cryptic new clip showed Link entering a new world in the clouds, before revealing the title of the game.

What a delight it'd be to have this on the Switch - and dare we dream for news of Project RS3 too to boot? Treasure's been teasing a comeback for a short while, and it doesn't take too much internet sleuthing to discover exactly what shape that will take - a fresh outing for Radiant Silvergun, the studio's delightfully tricksy shooting game that debuted on Sega's ST-V and Saturn hardware, and arguably one of its finest games. [making its way to PlayStation consoles at the end of the September](https://www.eurogamer.net/everything-announced-in-sonys-playstation-state-of-play-1) it seems almost inevitable that Tunic will get a Switch port - so why not make my autumn dreams come true and let me solve some of the best puzzles in gaming on the go? With at least a year of BOTW2 expansion content likely planned, this is the last moment in some time Nintendo can monetise these fan-favourite games - and there's certainly an appetite as we all wait for Breath of the Wild's next chapter. It was the sort of oddity Nintendo was into at the time - a la Pac-Man Versus, which was brilliant.

Shigeru Miyamoto Accidentally Trolled Everyone During The Big ... (Kotaku)

Tuesday's Nintendo Direct was a much-hyped affair, with a whopping 40 minutes dedicated to the Japanese company's portable console and its games.

Everyone started holding their breath for the possibility of maybe hearing Chris Pratt do an Italian accent, and instead they heard about a franchise that has been on life support for years and was never that popular to begin with. The dude has always been a little offbeat, which is exactly what’s equipped him to design some of the most memorable games of all time. That, and Pikmin has always been close to the man’s heart. The silver lining here though is that Miyamoto did indeed have some actual news to share: Pikmin 4 is coming in 2023. And it kind of makes sense: Thanks to the way the Direct was constructed, his appearance almost felt like a fake-out. Franchises like Zelda, Metroid, and Super Mario are all older than that, but he would never remind people that Nintendo is still working on them, that would be absurd. [Miyamoto somehow said that it was “nearing completion” seven entire years ago](https://www.kotaku.com.au/2015/09/nintendo-announces-pikmin-4-in-the-weirdest-way/). “This has always been what interested and excited me about the medium: not perfecting the old but discovering the new.” The thing is, even if you weren’t expecting news about, say, a new Nintendo Switch model or BotW 2, for whatever reason, for a brief moment it seemed like Miyamoto had something big to say. He introduced the segment by telling people the Pikmin series is 20 years old, but the company is “still” working on it. Most people kept their expectations somewhat in check for this, because Nintendo said that the event would largely focus on products coming out this holiday season. Lately he’s been focused on theme parks because it makes him feel like he’s doing something new again, and it’s just familiar enough to designing video games to spark excitement.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Has Fans Convinced ... (Kotaku)

Fans are speculating that the new Zelda title might've struck a bit too close to home for UK citizens in mourning.

While the whole world has been notified of the death of a person with a substantial connection to a bloody history of imperialism and colonialism, Zelda fans had to wait until the end of today’s Nintendo Direct presentation to get more info on the upcoming sequel to 2017’s critically acclaimed Breath of the Wild. Nintendo UK’s Twitter account [shared the conference](https://twitter.com/NintendoUK/status/1569703322202030082) on [its own YouTube channel](https://youtu.be/DFRtA67SqVE) as a video on demand after the presentation was streamed on other accounts. A peek at the comments on this video, which are filled with the baseless speculation about the Zelda title and the death of the queen, perhaps provide a glimpse of what Nintendo might’ve been hoping to avoid in a live chat segment. Video game essayist Chris Franklin even sketched out a hypothetical scenario of the decision-making process: It’s that very title that’s leading many down the path of speculation, wondering if perhaps the name would’ve hit a sour note with those who are mourning last week’s reminder that royalty, despite what they want you to think, are mere mortals.

Nintendo Direct was dominated by farming simulation games (Polygon)

Tuesday's Nintendo Direct was heavy on one genre: The role-playing farming life simulator. There's Harvestella, Story of Seasons, Fae Farm, and Rune Factory ...

Story of Seasons, on the other hand, is a classic that’s — yes — focused on farming, but puts a ton of emphasis on relationship building and family life. But I couldn’t disagree more — each of these games has a really interesting spin on the genre. Before we turned to tending-and-befriending in New Horizons as the pandemic separated us, people were enjoying the chill repetition of everyday farm life in [Stardew Valley](https://www.polygon.com/game/stardew-valley/38933) and others. "In Legend of Zelda Tears Of the Kingdom, you'll grow your own crops, befriend the locals, and wait... Stardew Valley built on that, and now we’re entering a new era — farming sims appear to be taking over once again, and the genre’s fans are thrilled. Nintendo is making it absolutely clear that it’s time to leave the city and tend to our crops.

Nintendo Direct: here's what you may have missed (VG247)

Nintendo made all sorts of announcements during its hour-long Nintendo Direct presentation today.

If you aren't familiar with the game, in this rogue-lite game, you recruit a team of shipwrecked heroes and make your way out of a rundown space station. In it, you will live your best life and confront the unknown by completing over 100 types of daily tasks to build character and deepen your relationships with the locals. Travel the world and find a way to put an end to the calamity in this life-simulation RPG. Defeat as many enemies as you can with just your fists in the new Battle Mode or take on rivals in Boss Battles. Various Daylife tasks you with living your best life on the newly discovered continent of Antoecia. In Forgotten Valley, you’ll restore and expand your farm as you nurture crops, care for your animals and help the land flourish. In it, you will box familiar faces from the popular manga and animation series. In it, you will need to restore peace between humans and monsters in between chatting with the locals, cultivating crops, and caring for monsters, among other activities. You can also transform into a monster, and your battle abilities and conversations with the locals will vary depending on your form. As part of the Expansion Pass, the DLC will also include Challenge Battles where you will test your might in consecutive battles against tough enemies. The theme is: What would you bring with you to a deserted island? And starting today, you can pre-order the Kung-Fu-packed brawler from the Nintendo eShop or physically from select retailers with a limited Vengeance or Redemption Edition to choose from.
