Mario Golf: Super Rush

Nintendo and Camelot are expanding the offerings of Mario sports games on Switch with Mario Golf: Super Rush. The game was just revealed during the Nintendo Direct earlier today.

We already know of several playable characters in Mario Golf: Super Rush. Nintendo has already confirmed Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Princess Daisy, Bowser, Wario, Toad, and Yoshi (not to mention Miis as well). Yet another character seems to have been revealed, though perhaps inadvertently.

Zelda: Twilight Princess HD

Switch has been home to many games from Nintendo’s past, particularly when it comes to Wii U. Most of the company’s major games from the Wii U era have ended up on the Big N’s current console in one form or another.

Of course, not everything has made the jump just yet. A couple of titles standout in particular in light of today’s news regarding Zelda: Skyward Sword HD. Many fans of the series are hoping that The Wind Waker HD and Twilight Princess HD, both of which appeared on Wii U, will make their way over to Switch as well.

Nintendo has sent out an announcement recapping all of the news from today’s Nintendo Direct presentation. Continue on below for a full breakdown as to what was shown.
