The first Nintendo Direct of 2022 has finally arrived last February 10 (PST)! Spoiler alert: there were no additional information on The Legend of Zelda sequel and Bayonetta 3. Nonetheless, there were a lot of exciting announcements in the showcase! Feast your eyes to these:
September 2022
The trailer showed a snippet of what has become of the world after Xenoblade Chronicles and Xenoblade Chronicles 2. The world seems to be war-torn filled with giant war machines. And the story will follow Noah and Milo’s adventures.
Starting March 18, 2022
Some of the well-known and well-loved courses throughout the Mario Kart series will be remastered.

In the new trailer of the upcoming game – Kirby and the Forgotten Land – Kirby proves that you can be whatever you want to be.

Splatoon 3 will be getting a new version of the co-op Salmon Run mode. Once again, there’s no definite release date yet but we get to see the colorful chaotic fun the mode entails. The best thing, as always, are the stinky fishies that will put you into literal sticky situations!

It may come as a surprise but yes, no man’s sky is finally coming to Nintendo Switch. No Man’s Sky grants players infinite exploration of universes and their unique floras. What’s more, this will include the past 5 years of updates for other platforms (PS, PC, & Xbox). But this poses a lot of questions but these ones mainly: 1) How big would the file size be if it is installed on Nintendo Switch 2) Is this actually a regular game or a cloud-based game?

Here’s another chaotic Mario game for you and your family/friends to enjoy! Mario: Strikers Battle League is 5v5 soccer game. But this is not your average soccer game.

But there’s also an online mode where up to 20 players can join per lobby!

Nintendo Switch is getting its own version of Wii Sports. It includes tennis, bowling, chambra, soccer, badminton, and volleyball. It will fully take advantage of Nintendo Joy-Con to perform in-game action. So to those who are not agile IRL, this is our chance! And it’s also worth noting that it hasn’t been released yet but there are updates already lined up after it comes out.
Play the online demo on February 18 – 20, 2022 (Nintendo Online subscription is required).
In this new update, Metroid Dread gives newbies and masochists ways to enjoy the game. Power through the Dread mode where one hit is all it takes to end the game. But if you find the game too difficult to handle, choose Rookie mode where Samus has an increased recovery. Test your skills on Boss rush mode where you can battle Metroid Dread bosses continuously!
