Nintendo Switch & 3DS Titles Announced During Direct Event

Nintendo Direct was a real treat for fans everywhere. Among other things, a whole host of upcoming Nintendo Switch and 3DS games and launch titles were announced. The list includes Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Arms, Splatoon 2, Payday 2 and many, many others.

This year’s Nintendo Direct has ended, and most Nintendo fans are probably still sorting their impressions of the event. There’s a lot of stuff in store for them in 2017. A ton of new games are coming both for the Switch and the 3DS, as well as a whole bunch of new Amiibos for Zelda, Splatoon, Smash Bros. and other games. Nintendo also announced neon-yellow Joy-Cons and battery packs for the Switch’s controllers.

Among the many games that were announced for both consoles, a few do stick out. Splatoon 2 seems to be one of the stars of the show. The game is getting three new Amiibos and a whole new mode called Salmon Run! Of course, many people are also excited about the other games.
