▶ Nintendo Direct – September 2022 — Yup, the Direct we were all waiting for. It’s nearly ~50 minutes of updates, with plenty of farming , a good dose of JPRGs, yet more cloud games , and a few nice surprises — like GoldenEye 007 coming to Switch online , and an actual title reveal for the next Zelda game. Miyamoto also popped up to tease us about the Mario movie and peddle some t-shirts , oh, and he announced Pikmin 4 too — something I’m legit thrilled about. Here’s a write-up of everything announced via iMore if you’d rather skim!
