We’ve started to see more 3DS games from Nintendo these days that are playable in 2D only. Kirby Battle Royale continues that trend. It wasn’t mentioned in the Nintendo Direct, but the boxart shows that stereoscopic 3D isn’t included.

Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser’s Minions is another upcoming 3DS title in 2D only. That game launches on October 6. As for Kirby Battle Royale, it’s due out in November 3 in Europe and January 19 in North America.

Thanks to Jake for the tip.

With roughly two weeks to go until release, Yo-kai Watch 2: Psychic Specters can now be pre-loaded on the North American 3DS eShop. 21,039 blocks of free space are required for the download. That’s just over 2.5GB.

Pre-loading lets you get ready for launch by purchasing in advance and downloading most game data. Then when Nintendo officially puts the game on the eShop, you’ll only need a small update to begin playing.

Another Nintendo Direct is in the books. Setting aside Nintendo’s E3 presentation and game-specific broadcasts, it’s been quite awhile since the last one.

There ended up being a ton of news in this week’s Nintendo Direct. Four games in particular were highlighted: Pokemon Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon, Xenoblade Chronicles 2 (now with a December 1 release date), Project Octopath Traveler (with an eShop demo), and Super Mario Odyssey. A few announcements were made as well, including the surprising Doom and Wolfenstein II Switch ports, the first Dragon Quest Builders for Switch, arcade games from Nintendo and Hamster, Kirby Battle Royale and Mario Party: The Top 100 for 3DS, Minecraft: New 3DS Edition, and Atlus localizing The Alliance Alive. Other news was also shared like the November 17 Skyrim release date and more.

So how’s everyone feeling about the Nintendo Direct? Although Nintendo didn’t have much in the way of brand new Switch games, many games were shown. Did the presentation meet your expectations, or were you disappointed in any way? Share your thoughts with us below.

At Variety’s Entertainment and Technology Summit, Nintendo of America’s president Reggie Fils-Aime offered a brief overview regarding the company’s plans for 2018.

Reggie touched on all of the key points you would expect. Nintendo will still be looking to drive its Switch business with “a number of great games”. Reggie also stressed how increasing the system’s install base will create opportunities for third-parties.
