Everything Announced at Nintendo Direct: Mini Partner Showcase

Nintendo didn’t have a proper showcase of all of their first-party titles in the standard E3 timeline, which is very sad, but in this June showcase, we got to see all third-party games that will be released in the next year. Look below to see everything that was discussed in this 25-minute showcase:

  • Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak DLC | June 30th
    • Demo available today.
  • Nier: Automata The End of Yorha Edition | October 6
  • Lorelei and The Laser Eyes | 2023
  • Super Bomberman R2 | 2023
  • Megaman Battle Network Legacy Collection | 2023
  • Pac-Man World Re-PAC | August 26
  • Blanc | February 2023     
    • Launching as a console-exclusive text-free puzzle-solving adventure story with local and online CO-OP where you play as a fawn and a wolf cub. 
  • Return To Monkey Island | 2022
  • Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope | October 20th
    • The showcase provided a look into the gameplay, which showed a new take on the turn-based system that allows you to attack within a certain range that is specific to each character as much as you’d like before using your weapon. This eliminates the need to have to only move a fixed number of spots per turn.
  • Little Noah: Scion of Paradise | Today
  • Railgrade | Fall 2022
  • RPG Time: The Legend of Wright | August 18th
  • Sonic Frontiers | Holiday 2022
    • Showcased the upcoming “open-zone” entry of the Sonic franchise and showcased some of the combat and platforming that you will experience in the open terrain. 
  • Disney Dreamlight Valley | September 6th
  • Live A Live | July 22nd
    • The first three chapters will be available later today in the form of a demo. All progress will be transferred to the full game.
  • Doraemon Story of Seasons: Friends of the Great Kingdom | 2022
  • Minecraft Legends | 2023
  • Dragon Quest Treasures | December 9th
  • Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes | Today
  • No Man’s Sky | October 7th
  • A Plague Tale: Requiem – Cloud Version | October 18
  • Captain Velvet Meteor: The Jump + Dimensions | July 28
  • Portal: Companion Collection | Today
  • Harvestella | November 4th
  • Persona 5 Royal | October 21st
  • Persona 4 Golden | TBD 
  • Person 3 Portable | TBD

Although it was only 25 minutes and didn’t contain any first-party announcements or updates, I thought this showcase was well-paced and gives switch players a lot to look forward to at least until Breath of the Wild 2 comes out.
