Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek’s network of contributors
Nintendo just wrapped up its big March Nintendo Direct — likely the last one to feature only information about Nintendo Switch games ahead of the launch of the Nintendo Switch 2. The livestreamed presentation was filled with announcements, mostly focused on remakes and remasters of games, but there are a few new ones in there, too.
You can watch the full presentation above if you want, but if you don’t have a free half hour to spare, we’ve rounded up every single announcement from the Direct, including release dates and trailers where available.
