March 27: Today, Marvelous announced Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar for Nintendo Switch. This one is planned for August 27, 2025.
Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar takes inspiration from the original Nintendo DS handheld release. For this game, Marvelous says it “expands on the content and feature set of the original, while modernizing the visuals and design, leaning into the title’s focus on the theme of ‘renewal’ as players set out to revitalize Zephyr Town’s bazaar and return it to its world-famous glory.”
Tons of information can be found in the following rundown:
The rumored July 2025 Nintendo Direct has been made official, with the announcement just coming in now – though it’s confirmed that the event will only be a Partner Showcase. Fans can tune in starting tomorrow at 6 AM PT / 9 AM ET / 2 PM in the UK / 3 PM in Europe.
Nintendo says that the Direct will be about 25 minutes long. It will cover upcoming third-party games for both Nintendo Switch 2 and Switch. Since this is a Partner Showcase, don’t expect to hear much (if anything) for titles published by the Big N.
