Well I just about got home for the start of the Nintendo Direct, but didn't get a chance to write anything here because it was just one game after another. Luigi's Mansion 3, a Dark Crystal tactical RPG (no, really), Link's Awakening remake, Dragon Quest 11, the next Platinum game Astral Chain, Daemon x Machina, Trials of Mana (plus the classic games releasing today), The Witcher 3, No More Heroes 3, Panzer Dragoon, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3, Animal Crossing, Switch versions for Doom Eternal and Wolfenstein Young Blood, Dragon Quest heroes and Banjo with Kazooie for Smash Brothers and....
...and the sequel to Breath of the Wild. They showed a cinematic to this, and it looks very much like a direct sequel, with exactly the same art style and appearance for both Link and Zelda. Eurogamer theorised that this may be what Majora's Mask was to Ocarina of Time; it certainly looks like a much darker take on the franchise.
Bloody hell. I thought Microsoft's conference was good, but that was a crazy amount of games I'm interested in.
