Tune in at 9 a.m. PT for a Nintendo Direct presentation, featuring roughly 40 minutes of information focused exclusively on Nintendo Switch games mainly releasing in 2021. Immediately after the Nintendo Direct, continue watching for around three hours of deep dives on gameplay for a handful of Nintendo Switch games in Nintendo Treehouse: Live.
Super Mario Odyssey was the Nintendo Switch’s debut for the franchise, and we saw our red-hatted friend don a new piece of gear that doubled as his new sidekick, Cappy. With so many characters getting some prominent screen time, Luigi felt completely uninvited to this party. That’s why we can’t help but think that Nintendo has something special cooked up for him in Super Mario Odyssey 2.
Games Asylum: "Well, this is uncanny. This school management sim bears a startling resemblance to Two Point Campus, especially when it comes to planning and decorating rooms. Be sure to add a window and a radiator, along with a plant or rubbish bin. Indeed, certain aspects are almost identical – it’s just like revisiting Two Point Campus, only something is…off. It’s the visual style that leads to the uncanny valley feeling, using a low-poly PlayStation/Saturn aesthetic. An odd choice, considering the 32-bit consoles didn’t have a great amount of management sims. The PS1 did have Theme Hospital though – with Two Point Hospital being Campus’ predecessor, so we guess we can give it a pass on its artistic intent."
Tokyo Xanadu eX+ has launched on Switch and includes a large helping of new content, including new characters and bosses.
This one is always for sale on PS4 and I never got around to get it, is it any good?
Save the show nintendo! If they can just show some good BOTW2 gameplay I’ll personally be happy.
Just a few things I'd like to see... Metroid Prime 4 update, the return of FZero, Bayonetta 3 update, Mario Kart 9 announced, Switch Pro (or Switch 2) announced, Mario Odyssey 2 announced.
Better be some kind of animal crossing NH expansion or new content. That game is so dead.
Everything so underwhelming thus far. I hope nintendo will save us.
So far paced poorly but loving it. Everything shown is for this year and Dread back from the dead since 2008?? Dope.
Overall I'd say it was good but not great. BotW 2 looks incredible, Metroid was a nice surprise, SMT looks like a JRPG epic, and all of the game shown are coming this year. The new Mario Party even looks good.
Not seeing Prime 4 or Bayonetta 3 was surprising.
