​


Nintendo has been enjoying quietly dropping new videos as of late, with another surprise Nintendo Direct Mini making waves today. The Partner Showcase revealed numerous new release dates and game titles, ranging from Story of Seasons, to Bravely Default II. Major announcements include Control: Ultimate Edition, which has just launched on the Nintendo Switch, as a cloud version, and Hitman 3 which will also be playable through the cloud as well. Ubisoft’s Immortals: Fenyx Rising has locked in a launch of December 3rd, while Square Enix’s Bravely Default II faces a slight delay into 2021, with a new release date of February 26th.

The news continues with the announcement of Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town, which brings an all new farming adventure to the console on March 26th. The No More Heroes series saw the major reveal of not just a new release window for the third entry, but also the existence of Nintendo Switch ports of No More Heroes 1 and 2, which were originally available on the Nintendo Wii. Kirby developers HAL Laboratory have a new game to show off called Part Time UFO, which is already on the eShop. Arriving today on the eShop alongside it is a demo for Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, which you can grab right now, to experience part of the game ahead of its November 20th official launch.

And of course, you can’t forget the latest Bakugan game, which was previously teased and announced by Wayforward in a previous Direct. Bakugan: Champions of Vestroia launches November 6th for the Nintendo Switch.

And just think, if Putin were to ever expand his nation to include dominating the Eastern European countries, he totally wouldn't control what games people would be allowed to play on said streaming services, if people would be allowed to have Internet at all in the first place. It's not like he invaded the Ukraine or anything...oh wait...

I agree.
If a company can't port the current game to the Switch, why not port older games? I know there's 5 other Hitman games before they took a drink of the Chronologically Confused variety and rebooted it with these new games. Like, imagine if Bandai-Namco ported Soul Calibur II HD Online to Switch, and it came with Link in addition to Heihachi and Spawn? It'd be the most complete version of the game!

I would take any Soul Calibur on switch at this point. Heck SCVI shouldn't be that hard to port either....
oh and Marvel vs Capcom (3) cause that game was dope.

I just tried the Control demo, to see how cloud gaming works on the switch, and it worked pretty good. Didn't experience any slowdown. It worked better than i expected.

I would probably buy the game, if it wasn't to expensive

These games on the Wii were very fun to use motion controls for combat. And the graphics looked so cool back then!

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

And by Bravely Default II, they really mean Bravely Default III. Unless they already forgot that Bravely Second was already Bravely Default II. Bunch of stupidasses.

Can someone remind me of which games listed in this presentation also have PC versions, or at least those that are not going to be permanently exclusive to the Nintendo Switch? I cannot keep up with the sheer amount of games released these days.

man, i can't stand that chibi look. on the (3)DS it might be ok, but it's just laziness and an excuse for not creating good graphics on the switch.
don't bother me with "it's artstyle"-bullsh!t

NMH is the winner of the show. Hope for a physical release.

Now that we have Pacifico 6 on Switch, we just need Far Cry 4 on the Switch too so that I can relive the 3 PS4 games that I actively want to play again. I already have Minecraft, so I just need the two.
