What mysteries will we see unveiled today, in Nintendo's latest Direct Mini? As this is a Partner Showcase, whatever is in store will be solely from third-party developers, such as last time, where Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne HD Remaster was announced. Be sure to tune in, as the Direct starts in mere minutes, or stick around to catch out live coverage.

Rune Factory 5.....Welcome back old friend!

Just saying....rune factory 5 looks better than pokemon swo/shi.

 

[AkiraKurusu]

Nothing worthwhile here, in my opinion.

When are we getting the next traditional (read: proper) Legend of Zelda game? Hopefully after BotW2...

Just saying....rune factory 5 looks better than pokemon swo/shi.

Nintendo 64 games can look as good as, if not better than, Sword/Shield.

Meanwhile, Sword/Shield run on the exact same system as Xenoblade 2, which is a truly breathtaking game. Gorgeous.
Game Freak really freaked this one up.

Idk what you guys are talking about with RF5, the graphics look horrible and they literally said nothing but announce a year.

 

[Loko4]

All my hype from Rune factoory 5 goes away, changed too much.

 

[Goku1992A]

Looks very good I hope one day they will port over the Star Ocean series to the switch i guess it isnt that popular enough

@Chary Disgaea 6 is hardly a console exclusive when it's also coming out for the PS4 on the 28th January 2021. It would be more accurate to say its a western exclusive I think.

console exclusive

When I cover these I just tend to recap what was said. The direct said it was a console exclusive for the Switch, so that’s what ended up getting noted down. I’ll be sure to add that detail in though, thanks.

Rune Factory V, i was waiting for it since, you see the logo in the E3 2017, 3 years but now it is near.
It's more better that i was expecting, i only play de first of the wii games but its really a better version of the snes harvest moon

Monster Hunter x 2, i was telling that it will be only 3DS 2 - Hunter Storys, but they put Rise too, not bad.
I don't play none of the franchise but it`s a religion in Japan,g etting an annual delivery game.
