Here’s everything that was announced in this week’s Nintendo Direct

Tonight, Nintendo held a 40-minute Direct Presentation which saw an abundance of exciting new games, announcements and other upcoming goodies unveiled. 

Some of the games featured were ones we knew about before, while others were shown off to the general public for the very first time. Either way, there’s plenty of brilliant things to uncover. 

One of the major announcements was Blizzard Entertainment’s Overwatch finally being confirmed for Nintendo Switch, and it’s coming to the platform next month complete with gyro controls, so not long to wait at all. 

We also received some detailed updates on both Luigi’s Mansion 3 and Pokemon Sword and Shield, both of which are due to launch before the end of the year. Chances are, they’ll be tonnes of fun and sell like absolute hotcakes.
