Now we’re getting a look at Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope as rumored. It looks a lot lie the previous game but with some extras, new abilities and characters.
And Bowser is joining the team; that was unexpected. Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope is coming October 20.
Now we have Return to Monkey Island for the Switch, a follow up to the legendary Secret of Monkey Island.
Made by Devolver Digital, Return to Monkey Island looks perfectly crafted for the Switch’s traditional and touchscreen controls. And it’s about time a Monkey Island game came to the Switch. It’s coming this year, but no set date was announced.
The next game up involves a fawn and a wolf cub working together to find a way home across the snow-covered world of Blanc.
It’s a text-free story with local and online co-op play, meaning you and a friend can figure out the story through what happening on the screen alone. It looks low-key beautiful. Blanc is coming February 2023 as a Switch exclusive.
Now we have a remake of Pac-Man World for the Switch. Pac-Man’s family has been kidnapped and he needs to rescue them in a platformer that not only involves eating dots but also dispatching enemies in a variety of ways in a mix of levels.
Pac-Man World Re-Pac is coming August 26.
A new Bomberman game is coming to the Switch, this time in the form of Super Bomberman R 2. It has a new Castle mode where 15 players need to assault a castle defended by one. It’s coming next year.
On tope of that 10 Megaman Battle Network games, originally released on the Nintendo Game Boy Advance are coming to the Switch. the Megaman Battle Network Legacy Collection is coming next year.
Now we have “a modern take on puzzle and adventure games” in the form of Lorelei and The Laser Eyes.
The semi cell-shaded and film noir look of the game is certainly eye-catching. It’s slated for a 2023 release.
And as rumored, NieR: Automata is coming to the Nintendo Switch. There’ll be additional modes and new consumes exclusive to the Switch.
Pre-orders start today and the game will be released on October 6.
There’s a whole roadmap for Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak, with free title updates coming in August, the fall and Winter, as well as 2023.
These will add in new monsters and rare species.
So here’s Capcom. And it’s just shown off Monster Hunter Rise: Stormbreak. Tis is an expansion for Monster Hunter Rise coming to the Switch.
It’s coming June 30, so in two days time.
And we’re off! The Nintendo Direct Mini live stream is err… live!
Are there any retro remakes you’d like to see on the Nintendo Switch? I’d like to see a version of Super Metroid. Sure there’s Metroid Dread, but a reworking of the game that spawned the “Metroidvania” genre would likely go down well.
I’d also like to see some Game Boy games get ported over to the Switch, such as those available on the Nintendo 3DS’ Virtual Console. It would seme like such an easy way for Nintendo to bring its back catalogue of games to its super-selling console.
Wishlist:-Persona 5, 4 golden- Mario + rabbids(release date)- Bayonetta 3(release date)- Resident evil revelations 3- final fantasy pixel remasterJune 27, 2022
Looks like folks have a wishlist for what they’d like to see at the Nintendo Direct. Some are after Persona 5 and a Bayonetta 3 release date, while others want more classic games.
I’d like to see a bit of everything. I want an easier route to playing older Nintendo games that don’t involve dusting off older consoles that require difficult workarounds to run on modern TVs. But I also want a suite of new Nintendo Switch games to look forward to.
Hmm… it all seems quiet on the leaks front for the time being. Looks like after the initial information seepage, Nintendo has kept today’s Direct news under wraps.
So it’s time for some more predictions. I’m seeing some chatter on Twitter about retro remakes being featured in the Direct, with third-party developers working to porting and rejigging their older games to work on the Switch. If that is the case, I hope we’ll see these as standalone games as well as those bundled into the Nintendo Switch Online service.

So a new GoldenEye 64 documentary is in the works, exploring the iconic James Bond Nintendo 64 game. So this has got me (Roland Moore-Colyer) thinking about whether we’ll hear about more third-party N64 games get added to the Nintendo Online service.
GoldenEye 64 was developed by Rare, a developer now under the banner of Xbox Game Studios. But I see no reason why Goldeneye couldn’t be ported over to the Switch, along with other Rare N64 era games like Banjo-Kazooie. Maybe this is wishful thinking, but I guess we’ll see pretty soon.
We’re expecting to see a good suite if indie games get announced today or ported over from other consoles to the Nintendo Switch.
Getting the Outer Wilds on the Switch would be something we’d like to see, as that space-based time loop title that blends puzzling and exploration would work very nicely on Nintendo’s hybrid console. Fingers crossed.
Venga, a disfrutar mañana del Direct. Empezamos a las 15:30 con @AlvaroMortem, como siempre. https://t.co/j1q3fWT3xa pic.twitter.com/ZAU5stBxbjJune 27, 2022
So some more last minute rumors have arrived in the form of Square Enix’s action RPG, NieR: Automata potentially coming to the Nintendo Switch.
Spanish games journalist Nacho Requena claims that “there will be another game that has been available for some time on other platforms… it’s been available for four years now.” And that was followed up by him sharing a Gif of Nier director Yoko Taro; check out our interview with the elusive game director. So we can posit that NieR: Automata could be announced for the Switch today.

It doesn’t seem like there’s a lot of people getting hyped for today’s Direct. Some appear to have been put off by the “Mini” suffix.
If you’re only interested in Mario and Zelda than perhaps this won’t be the Direct for you. But we are cautiously predicting that the Direct will feature some interesting games from smaller developers that showcase off their creativity and how the Switch is a great platform of indie games.

It looks like we’ve already got a good look at one major game that’s likely to be shown off at today’s Nintendo Direct. That’s because Ubisoft appeared to put the publish date of October 20 on its official store for Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope, as spotted by our sibling site T3 (opens in new tab).
The page appears to have been removed now, but this gives us a pretty clear ideas that we’ll get to see at least a gameplay trailer for Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope at the Direct today.
