Nintendo just hada real Directtoday and it was fast!

Some of you probablyhad a kidsince the last real Direct or had some other major life change. I mean, collectively, we’ve been through a lot. But Nintendo is back today, and they ran through some announcements rapidly over the course of roughly 50 minutes.

The kickoff was the announcement of Pyra and Mythra inSmash Ultimate, which is already soliciting…opinions! We also got cold hard release dates and windows for elusive games likeNo More Heroes 3, which is always nice.

But the big bombshells at the end were aSkyward SwordHD remaster and the existence ofSplatoon 3. It might not be what everyone wanted (the “Breath of the Wild 2showing” that was on likeeveryleak bingo card or “insider info deck” did not happen, and Nintendo even apologized for it), but it was a Direct again, half a million people tuned in 10 minutes before it even aired.
