There were many video games announced and a lot of information was given to everyone in only a 26-minute Nintendo Direct Mini show. Some of the big game announcements that were made include Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak, Super Bomberman R 2, Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection, Return to Monkey Island, Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope, Portal: Companion Collection, and Harvestella.
We also got another look at Minecraft Legends during the Nintendo Direct Mini. This reveal wasn’t anything brand new as it was first announced during the Xbox and Bethesda Games Showcase a couple of weeks ago. This was just a way to announce that it is indeed coming to the Nintendo Switch in 2023.
The Nintendo Direct Mini did a really good job of giving us just a taste of what is coming to the Nintendo Switch in the near future. It allowed us to watch a couple of minutes of each of the games announced so we can get a better understanding of what to expect from each video game. Which games are you looking forward to playing on the Nintendo Switch?
