** And then Nintendo blows their chance to show off new 3DS games by showing us only the stuff we know are coming...wait a minute, Reggie? DID YOU JUST SAY [[VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening FIRE EMBLEM AWAKENING]] [[https://twitter.com/NintendoAmerica/status/210570017471864833 IS BEING LOCALIZED?!?!]] THIS CONFERENCE JUST INSTANTLY GOT TEN TIMES BETTER!!!
* The Wii U's latest conference is just going over old stuff... huh, Platinum Games is making another exclusive title for i- A VideoGame/{{BAYONETTA}} SEQUEL '''OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD TAKE MY RINGS/HALOS!!!!!'''

** The E3 2014 trailer gave us two things: one Bayonetta gets costumes from Nintendo charactesr (Peach, Link and Samus confirmed) and second? ''The first game will be bundled with Bayoneta 2''.

* The January 23 Nintendo Direct could be called And The Fandom Rejoiced: The Trailer! ''New'' footage of ''VideoGame/TheWonderful101'', new footage of ''{{VideoGame/Bayonetta 2}}'', ''new'' [[VideoGame/YarnYoshi Yoshi game]] made by the developers of ''VideoGame/KirbysEpicYarn'' in the same style, ''new'' crossover game featuring Franchise/FireEmblem and Franchise/ShinMegamiTensei developed by '''''Atlus and Intelligent Systems together''''', ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker'' [[UpdatedRerelease HD Remake]], and ''new'' game by [[VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles1 Monolithsoft]] with footage! Let's just flesh this out:

* From the October 1st Nintendo Direct: Okay, some nice updates on SuperMario3DWorld and the next Mario and Sonic game. Not bad, N--wait. SONIC'S SHOWING UP IN SUPER SMASH BROS. 4? OH HELL YEAH! And at the very, very end: KIRBY'S GETTING HIS OWN 3DS GAME?!?!? WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH NINTENDO!!!

* ''VideoGame/AnimalCrossing Happy Home Designer'' includes the ability to customise your skin tone, something that has been requested for almost a decade. It gives fans hope the next main game will contain skin tone options.

* Nintendo had announced the ''UsefulNotes/NintendoEntertainmentSystem''...that is so small you can fit it in the palm of your hand?! And it comes with 30 classic games from the NES era, from ''[[VideoGame/SuperMarioBros1 Super Mario Bros.]]'' to ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaI The Legend of Zelda]]'' to ''VideoGame/KirbysAdventure'' to ''[[VideoGame/Metroid1 Metroid]]''. Even third-party games joins the fun: ''VideoGame/MegaMan2'', ''[[VideoGame/CastlevaniaI Castlevania]]'', ''[[VideoGame/FinalFantasyI Final Fantasy]]'', etc.
* After all this time, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5uik5fgIaI we finally get a look at the NX]], now properly known as the UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch. So what's the main draw this time? Well, the controller is actually a pad with two detachable sides, and you can reconnect them together for a smaller controller...or you can connect them to either side of another pad inside the console itself, and then ''continue playing the game on the go!'' That's right, they took the UsefulNote/WiiU Gamepad and expanded upon it!

** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9UdUrE4WCo Sizzle Reel]] got to show us a glimpse of what games are playable on the Switch, including ''[[VideoGame/DragonQuestHeroesTheWorldTreesWoeAndTheBlightBelow Dragon Quest Heroes I & II]]'', ''VideoGame/RaymanLegends'', ''VideoGame/LegoCityUndercover'', ''VideoGame/DragonBallXenoverse2'', ''VideoGame/Disgaea5'', ''VideoGame/{{Rime}}'', a new version of ''VideoGame/StreetFighterII'' and, perhaps most surprising of all, ''A NEW [[VideoGame/{{Bomberman}} BOMBERMAN]] GAME'', when many people thought that the series died and was left to rot!

** And last but not least...''the Switch is getting a remastered version of VideoGame/DarkSouls!'' FromSoftware’s New project won’t be revealed for quite some time, but least the reveal of the remastered edition have literally brought many Soulsborne fans intro pure madness.

** While ''[[VideoGame/AnimalCrossing Animal Crossing: New Horizons]]'' is going to have a delay, it does have a confirmed launch date on March 20th 2020.

** ''VideoGame/{{Miitopia}}'' is getting a remake! After being OutOfFocus for much of the Switch era, [[UsefulNotes/{{Mii}} Miis]] have ''finally'' gained relevance again.

** Actual gameplay of ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiV'' is shown, and it seems as if the Atlus' years of silence has finally paid off. Not only that, but it's release date for November 12th, 2021 is officially confirmed.

** '' Super VideoGame/{{Bomberman}} R'' is getting a sequel, with a 64-player BattleRoyaleGame mode to boot!

** Several [=N64=] games are coming to Nintendo Switch Online, including both ''VideoGame/PokemonStadium'' games, the first three ''VideoGame/MarioParty'' games, and the biggest surprise of them all, '''''[[VideoGame/Goldeneye1997 Goldeneye]]'''''! Complete with both local and online multiplayer. Remember though, no Oddjob.

* From the April 17th Nintendo Direct, ''VideoGame/EarthBound'' is now confirmed for the UsefulNotes/WiiU Virtual Console in North America '''AND''' Europe (which never got the game when it was first released outside of Japan).

* Near the end of June, Nintendo announced the successor of the [[UsefulNotes/NintendoEntertainmentSystem NES Classic Edition]], the [[UsefulNotes/SuperNintendoEntertainmentSystem Super NES Classic Edition]]. It comes with 21 pre-installed games, including ''[[VideoGame/{{Contra}} Contra III: The Alien Wars]]'', ''VideoGame/EarthBound'', ''VideoGame/FZero'', ''VideoGame/KirbySuperStar'', ''VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld'', ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaALinkToThePast'', ''VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld2YoshisIsland'', ''VideoGame/SuperMetroid'', ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry'', ''[[VideoGame/PunchOut Super Punch-Out!!]]'', ''VideoGame/StarFox'', ''VideoGame/StarFox2'', ''VideoGame/MegaManX'', ''[[VideoGame/SuperMarioRPG Super Mario RP]]''-[[DoubleTake wait]], '''''[[{{Vaporware}} STAR FOX 2?!?!?!]]''''' [[CueTheFlyingPigs WE CAN ACTUALLY PLAY IT LEGALLY AFTER ALL THIS TIME?!]]

** ''Mario + Rabbids: Sparks Of Hope'' released in October '''and''' is getting a presentation the next day from its development team! Not only that - '''Bowser''' is [[PromotedToPlayable playable]] in the sequel!

** More details on Creator/KazutakaKodaka's newest project ''Master Detective Archives: RAIN CODE'' shows what looks to combine the investigation style from ''VideoGame/AITheSomniumFiles'' with some ''Franchise/{{Danganronpa}}'' flair in both gameplay and artstyle.

* Tired of the ''VideoGame/{{Mother}}'' localization issues? [[VideoGame/{{Mother1}} The first game]] is getting a release on the Wii U Virtual Console as ''VideoGame/EarthBoundBeginnings''! No crying until the end, [[TearsOfJoy indeed]].

** ''VideoGame/{{The Witcher 3|WildHunt}}'', ''VideoGame/SpyroReignitedTrilogy'', [[VideoGame/WorldOfMana a collection of the Mana series]] (including a localization and a remake of ''Seiken Densetsu 3'', now known as ''VideoGame/TrialsOfMana''), and a new Mario/Sonic Olympics game are all on their way!

** ''VideoGame/{{Pikmin}}'' ''4'' is confirmed by Miyamoto himself to not only still exist, but is getting released next year!

** A sequel to ''VideoGame/OctopathTraveler'' is in the works, with eight new characters and a more connected story between them.
** Two beloved [=GameCube=] games are getting remakes, with ''VideoGame/HarvestMoonAWonderfulLife'' (this time under the ''VideoGame/StoryOfSeasons'' banner) and ''VideoGame/TalesOfSymphonia'' being released next year.

** A new ''Franchise/FireEmblem'' game titled ''Fire Emblem Engage'' is coming next year, that appears to take the summoning mechanics of ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes'' mixed with the team-ups of ''VideoGame/TokyoMirageSessionsFE'' and brings modern FE flair to it.

** To cap things off, not only do we finally have a title for the much awaited sequel to ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild Breath of the Wild]]'', now time called ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTearsOfTheKingdom'', we also get footage and a release date of May 2023!

* Out of nowhere on May 14th, Nintendo dropped a brand new trailer for a ''VideoGame/PaperMario'' game on the Switch. And it isn't a port of ''Color Splash'', it's a brand new game entirely called ''[[VideoGame/PaperMarioTheOrigamiKing The Origami King]]''! Nintendo Switch owners, even those who weren't interested in ''Paper Mario'', finally breathed a sigh of relief at seeing Nintendo announce something new, especially since it leaked that there would be no Nintendo Direct in June due to complications stemming from the UsefulNotes/CoronavirusDisease2019Pandemic. Most of all, it releases on July 17th, a little more than two months from then! Last but not least, the trailer shows Mario wearing [[VideoGame/{{Metroid}} Samus]]'s helmet at the very end...a mere ShoutOut to a sibling franchise, or is it Nintendo possibly teasing ''Metroid'' news for later this year?

** Let's see what's on the line up. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8L54s2m1dPs What's this]]? Is that...[[VideoGame/{{Splatoon}} a new IP?]] A ''multiplayer third person shooter?'' One where you control kids that can turn into squids, and ink everyone? HELL. YES.

** In addition, we get a look at a couple of games for the system, including ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild'', ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim'', a new 3D ''[[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Mario]]'' platformer, a ''VideoGame/MarioKart'' game (possibly ''[[VideoGame/MarioKart8 8]]'' with even more features), a sequel to ''VideoGame/{{Splatoon}}''...[[DelayedReaction Wait, WHAT?!]]

** Shortly after the presentation ended, a trailer dropped online for ''VideoGame/MarioKart8 [[UpdatedRerelease Deluxe]]''. Not only does this game feature a more traditional battle mode, but the [[VideoGame/{{Splatoon}} Inkling boy and girl]] are now racing with the Mario crew, with Urchin Underpass showing up as a Battle Course!

* Okay, [[VideoGame/{{Splatoon2}} who's this little squit? Murch?]] Kinda figured the runt's rollin' like Spyke, so-- wait, RESET?! You expect me to just reset my gear OVER AND OVER just to get the ideal perks?! Splat th-- ...Did you just say we can save up the scraps and tailor-make our gear to OUR specifications? Changed my mind; take my snails, punk.

** A brand-new IP from Creator/SquareEnix is announced - ''Harvetella'', which combines the LifeSimulationGame gameplay of the ''VideoGame/StoryOfSeasons'' series with a setting and combat akin to ''Franchise/FinalFantasy''.

** ''VideoGame/CodeNameSteam'' allows you to play as [[VideoGame/FireEmblemAkaneia Marth]], [[VideoGame/FireEmblemPathOfRadiance Ike]], [[VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening Robin, and Lucina]] using Amiibo, complete with their own voice acting. This also means Marth finally speaks English.

** Of all games, ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemAkaneia Gaiden]]'' is getting a 3DS remake - complete with Alm and Celica amiibos!

** How did the whole thing close off? Oh, just the little something of the ''Franchise/{{Persona}}'' series debuting on Switch with ''VideoGame/Persona5'' ''Royal'', ''VideoGame/Persona4'' ''Golden'' ''AND'' ''VideoGame/Persona3'' ''Portable'' all coming.

* Out of nowhere in late May, Nintendo drops a trailer announcing that VideoGame/StarWarsKnightsOfTheOldRepublicII was coming to the Switch in early June. That’s pretty cool, we’ll get to play the sequel, its missed potential and loose ends aren’t going to keep it from being brought to the Switch. Wait. What?! “Restored content” DLC will be available?!

* ''VideoGame/TheLastStory'' and ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles1'' are being localized in Europe. Inverted in this case for North America, the fans weren’t pleased to hear that Nintendo of America [[NoExportForYou had no plans to release them here.]]

** Inverted and played straight for America now that we have official news that ''Xenoblade'' [[http://wii.ign.com/articles/121/1213814p1.html is coming out after all]]. The Last Story [[http://kotaku.com/5887245/nintendo-bringing-the-last-story--to-north-america was also later announced.]]
