Posted on 4 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Let's Talk, Switch | 0 comments
Even though there’s a massive Nintendo Direct coming in less than a week for Switch 2, a separate presentation took place a dew days ago for Switch 1 games. We’re interested in knowing how you felt about the event.
From Nintendo, the company had a couple of new game announcements. Rhythm Heaven Groove and Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream were unveiled, but interestingly enough, both are coming in 2025. We also got our best look at Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, which is still planned for 2025.
Third-parties showed up with several announcements of their own. Bandai Namco brought several games to the presentation with Patapon 1 + 2 Replay, Everybody’s Golf: Hot Shots, Tamagotchi Plaza, and Shadow Labyrinth. Other notable games include MARVEL Cosmic Invasion, Raidou Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army, Witchbrook, and No Sleep For Kaname Date – From AI: The Somnium Files. Catch up on all of the announcements here.
What was your highlight of the show? Let us know in the comments.

Production List, a film and television production tracking service offered by the Film & Television Industry Alliance, may have provided the first details about the upcoming movie for The Legend of Zelda.
The site claims that filming will be done between November 2025 and April 2026 in New Zealand. It offers a synopsis as well, which mentions Link going on a journey to protect Hyrule from Ganon. Similar to the games, Ganon is seeking the Triforce.
You can find the full description shared by Production List below. We would advise taking it with a grain of salt for the time being, however.
