Speculation about Super Mario RPG possibly making a comeback were abound this week following rumors from someone who seemed to have early knowledge about this week’s Nintendo Direct.

Detective Pikachu Returns

It’s been years since Detective Pikachu 2 was first announced, but an update has finally been shared. During today’s Nintendo Direct, the project – known as Detective Pikachu Returns – was announced to be launching for Switch on October 6, 2023.

A Detective Pikachu sequel for Switch was first teased way back in 2019. Almost nothing about the project was shared until today.
