Today's Nintendo Direct featured a bunch of release dates and a few surprises.
Top 3 Nintendo Directs of All Time
Anyone who regularly follows Nintendo’s online presentations (Nintendo Direct) is used to one or two disappointing omissions, but today’s Direct didn’t leave out much. There may not have been any mention of Metroid Prime (the upcoming fourth game or otherwise), but there were plenty of big names in the lineup.
A new Fire Emblem title called Fire Emblem Engage is coming to Switch on January 20, 2023, bringing back the classic series’ turn-based, tile-driven combat. And popular Switch RPG Octopath Traveler is getting its own sequel a month later, on February 24. Even Final Fantasy is making a comeback—sort of—with rhythm actioner THEATRHYTHM FINAL BAR LINE, scheduled to release on February 16.
Outside of the role-playing and role-playing related stuff, it appears that fan favorite Golden Eye 64 is coming to Switch "soon" via the Switch Online + Expansion Pack membership. Nintendo Direct also surprised viewers with a teaser for Pikmin 4, due out sometime next year.
