All the big games, trailers, and announcements from today’s Nintendo Direct
It’s hard to believe, but: Nintendo has games other than The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom for 2023. The publisher unveiled its forthcoming slate of Switch titles in a 40-minute Nintendo Direct on Wednesday.
Nintendo didn’t reveal any details about Hollow Knight: Silksong, Metroid Prime 4, or post-release content for Tears of the Kingdom. Still, from the new Mario platformer to the remake of a classic Mario RPG, it was a packed showcase. Here are all the big reveals and announcements from Wednesday’s Nintendo Direct.
Pokémon Scarlet and Violet’s DLC, The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero, is split into two parts. The first part, The Teal Mask, will debut in fall 2023, and will feature five new Pokémon (just shy of a full party). The second part, The Indigo Disk, is due out in winter 2023. It’s set in a terrarium in the middle of the ocean.
Sonic Superstars, first announced during Summer Game Fest, is a 2D Sonic game with modern 3D graphics. You can play as Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, or Amy. It’s out fall 2023.
