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.

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.
