Splatoon 3, Super Smash Bros., Zelda: Everything to know from Nintendo’s latest Direct broadcast
February 17, 2021 at 4:29 pm
Splatoon game, a new character for
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, a new entry in its
Mario Golf series, and more, in its first major news broadcast in over a year.
Under ordinary circumstances, Nintendo releases much of its game news via semi-regular, pre-recorded press conferences, which it calls its Nintendo Directs. Naturally, 2020 was not an ordinary circumstance, as the pandemic lockdowns throughout Japan slowed down much of Nintendo’s software development (which certainly didn’t harm its sales).
While Nintendo has offered a few “Mini-Directs” throughout the last year, focused on single specific games, it hasn’t had one of its full-length Directs since September 2019.
