February is usually special for Nintendo fans, as it typically spells the ringing of a new Direct. That held true with yesterday’s presentation, as Nintendo revealed its upcoming slate for the first half of the year with quite a few surprises to come over the next few months.
As the Nintendo Direct was happening, Sam and I reacted to some of the best reveals, including Pikmin 4, Metroid Prime Remastered, and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Check out our highlights video below.

We should be seeing at least two more roster additions later in 2023.
Team17 and Wonderscope Games issued a substantial update for Hokko Life on Switch this week, dubbed “World Shrines”.

Also worth noting is that the Mayor Merits screen has been reworked and some merits have also had their requirements lowered to make them easier to unlock.
