It may not be the grand Nintendo Direct many were hoping for, but today's Nintendo Direct Mini will give us an idea of what games we can hope to see release on the Nintendo Switch in the future, courtesy of Nintendo's partners. Who knows what will be shown? The only way to find out is to watch, when the Direct Mini goes up in less than a minute. The video will be available to watch on either Nintendo of UK or Nintendo of America's YouTube channels.

​

The 8-minute video is now live. Cadence of Hyrule is getting three new DLC packs. The first of which is a character pack, which adds Impa, Aria, Shadow Link, Shadow Zelda, and Frederick as playable characters. It launches later today.

Pack two will include 39 new songs.

Pack 3 has a new story featuring Skull Kid. Packs 2 and 3 will release sometime before October. A season pass will also be available, letting you buy all the new content in one package, or you can grab a new physical edition with everything on October 23rd.

Rogue Company has a new trailer. It's an online competitive shooter playable on the Switch. You can play with other platforms, too.

WWE 2K Battlegrounds launches on September 28th.

Shin Megami Tensei news. But it's not V, it's Shin Megami Tensei III. Nocturne is getting an HD Remaster on Switch this Spring 2021.

Now we get V. A trailer teases the story of the game, which releases in 2021 as well, worldwide.

That's it. More Partner Showcases will be shown later this year.

THIS WAS BETTER THAN E3

is this a joke

 

[Arras]

"More directs in this series will release this year"

oh jesus no...

Why not? It's not like you're being forced to watch them. Plus, SMT5 and Nocturne remaster are fantastic news for fans of the series.

 

[OkazakiTheOtaku]

Oh my God this is the best Direct in literal years for me, unironically. Both SMT V news and release date AND a Nocturne remaster?

But is Dante from Devil May Cry in the game?

No, in the trailer they replaced him with Raidou from Devil Summoners, it looks like.

 

[eriol33]

But is Dante from Devil May Cry in the game?

No, its Raidou. Unfortunately, the license from Capcom has expired.

Considering I didn't have my hype to insane levels, I'm happy with SMT and I might even get that rhythm game.

 

[OkazakiTheOtaku]

Man it's breaking my heart to see all the dislikes on the Youtube video. I've been waiting years for any news on SMT V besides the reveal trailer and I'm so happy we got that, along with a Nocturne remaster. I'm so happy. Just because a direct doesn't have Mario or Smash doesn't mean it's a bad direct, guys...

ONE MORE GOD REJECTED

 

[Fugelmir]

Best thing Atlus has ever made. Kicks Persona in the face.

 

[Rabbid4240]

y'know maybe people disliked it because they only showed 4 games one of which is a fucking mobile wrestling game

 

[altorn]

im interested in rogue company

 

[Deleted member 512337]

SMT3 portable? My favorite SMT game anywhere I have my Switch, which is everywhere? That SMT game on my Switch! I am so happy I am crying already.

Should've released today and only for the switch cause lord knows it needs it.

Why not? It's not like you're being forced to watch them. Plus, SMT5 and Nocturne remaster are fantastic news for fans of the series.

Because that means they arent doing a real direct this year.

 

[Goku1992A]

Hmm kinda weird to talk about things that are getting released 2021. The mobile wresting game is kidna a joke they should have atleast said something about WWE 2K21

 

[Arras]

Should've released today and only for the switch cause lord knows it needs it.



Because that means they arent doing a real direct this year.

That's not what it means though. These are specifically for third party developers. If Nintendo has anything to announce themselves, they will announce it.

 

[Shahaan]

No, its Raidou. Unfortunately, the license from Capcom has expired.

You sure about that? SMT Nocturne is still up on the PSN Store for PS3s
I think they're just doing it because its the most recent version of the game and translating everything to the original Maniacs release would just be a chore

 

[Enryx25]

is this a joke

SMT is probably THE best JRPG series of all time, so no it's not a joke.

 

[XDel]

Wasn't this one of those game series where they were removing the gay jokes in favor of pro gay propaganda?

I

Funny way to spell Trauma center

 

[BORTZ]

Oh man, finally some info on SMTV... and SMTIII? That's super cool. Thank you Nintendo.

 

[shadow1w2]

Well not a full direct or f-zero but least we got something nice.
Cadence of Hyrule DLC looks nice ajd a boxed version is more my speed since it never goes on sale anyway.
SMT 3 remaster and 5 looking forward to those.
Hopefully 3 gets a PC release one day but it'll be good on the switch.
Hopefully an SMT 1 and 2 translation or remakes could happen too as Atlus realizes how much the fans want that stuff.

 

[hippy dave]

More stuff for Cadence of Hyrule is nice.
