New Nintendo Infographic Shows Off The 30+ Games Announced During This Week's Direct

Fall guys, been waiting for it to show up on the Switch, splatoon 3 as well, It might end up binge star wars hunters, you know if they showed off some gamplay.

Que in the obligatory Metroid and BoTW2 comments. As for me, I'll definitely get Skyward Sword, Mario Golf, Project Triangle, Monster Hunter, Outer Wilds, No More Heroes and Hades on physical when all of it hits the market. I'll also keep an eye on Ninja Gaiden, Ghosts 'n' Goblins, Stubbs The Zombie, Tales From The Borderlands, Bravely Default and Samurai Warriors - still not sure about all of these games.

A lot of those games were already announced.

Just Mario Golf, Splatoon 3 and maybe Fall Guys for me. And Pokemon Snap though it's not on the list.

I was thinking about getting the Famicom Detective Club games but then found out it was $35 per game which will be even more in the UK... LOL, no thanks... Too much for a graphic novel!

I am just so glad the “general direct” format is back. Of course it could have been bigger after 1,5 years. And I think they will show the second half around E3 time.

Only a few of these really have my interest, but I get that it's not necessarily FOR me.

I'm more excited by a some of the indie stuff coming to the eShop every other week, to little or no fanfare. ^^

For some reason it's always funny to me when they say '[number]+' when it really is only just one or two more than the number, in this case it being 31. Technically they're correct but they're making it sound better than it really is. Or is that just me?

Anyway. Splatoon 3 was the definite highlight of this showing. Mario Golf is also one I'm certainly looking forward to. I might look into trying Fall Guys as well. No More Heroes 3 looks great. Stubbs the Zombie looks like some silly fun. I'm probably gonna wait on purchasing Zelda because I'm getting tired of buying Nintendo ports for full price and see if I can strike a deal somewhere. Project Triangle I'm also interested in but I was also disappointed in Octopath Traveler, so I'm not sure yet.

Also, yeah, a lot of this was already announced or is DLC/update stuff for games that are already out. Which is why this Direct wasn't that great, IMO. Not bad but not great.

Hoping their E3 Direct, if they do one, will be grand.

Mario Golf was the one new announcement that I was actually hoping to see, so I'm very excited about that. Glad to see Outer Wilds come; I'll be double-dipping. And I should start learning how to play Splatoon well, so that when 3 is released I can play online without being an utter embarrassment to the very concept of playing games.

I'm a big fan of inforgraphics so I thank them for this one. I like how they've smartened up and left off all the dates, which historically have been as much as half wrong due to delays.

Not a fan of Miitopia - a 3DS port - smack dab in the middle though. And Spaltoon 3 shouldn't be first - it's probably the last game coming out and it was the last in the Direct. It is a nice bookend for Zelda SS HD though around SSB.

ACNH seems a weird edition just b/c of continuing support free DLC. HW: AOC has a newly announced $19.99 season pass so it makes sense. If ACNH had a real update like New Leaf's "Welcome amiibo" update which added a bunch of stuff that would be different. If Nintendo ever adds - "Each person in your household can have their own island!!!" - heck they can make an entire Direct just on that much asked for and much needed feature.

But that's just nit-picking, it's an infographic w/ a lot of games, which is much needed after 2020, so a start for 2021.

Just realized New Pokémon Snap! isn't on there b/c it wasn't in the Direct. They really should have put it in the Direct IF ONLY to get it on the infographic.

If there are 30 games on there Snap! will probably outsell at least 25 of them in 2021. That's a big faux pas on Nintendo's part, no excuse.

Fixed it for'em. 😎

Apex legends is all I will get. It’s free and worth trying. Other than that I guess I’ll wait on the next batch of announced games from mid year.

Mario Golf is a maybe for me. I ended up getting Mario Tennis off the back of the Game Trial, so if NSO does one for this then that might persuade me. Or just a demo of some sort. Otherwise, Splatoon 3, Skyward Sword and Ninja Gaiden Trilogy are all day 1 purchases.

Definite purchases for me: Skyward Sword, Legend of Mana, Monster Hunter Rise, Splatoon 3, Miitopia and No More Heroes 3

Games i'll get around to buying eventually: Saga Frontier, Ninja Gaiden Master Collection, Ghosts n Goblins, Bravely Default 2 and Project Triangle Strategy (because its strategy and not just a turn based RPG)

Monster Hunter Rise is interesting to me. I played Monster Hunter 3 on Wii and it was fun but I didn't get into it a lot but I'm willing to give it another go. Mario Golf I will buy around the release. I'm going to try Project Triangle later today and purchased all the Capcom arcade games cause.....well I'm a kid of the 90's and I moved the arcade. Hoping for a Mario like Zelda anniversary collection later in 2021 and maybe a Fire Emblem remake. 3 Houses had been played enough, I need a new one, or a new old one?

They're really trying to take the little money I have that doesn't go to my wife and kids...

Skyward Sword HD and Ninja Gaiden: Master Collection are immediate purchases

@TheFullAndy around 7 / 8. The rest were never confirmed and have been announced now.

Nothing that interest me or that I haven’t played somewhere else but when you have a Monster Hunter game you are set for a year and people don’t understand that Nintendo already use all of their heavy hitters titles and the Nintendo cycle it’s complete the next games are less impressive or sequels like the Zelda sequel or less well known titles like Metroid that will come 2026, so now you should lower your expectations for the incoming games

Project Triangle Strategy is really quite excellent thus far. Even if it has one of the worst names I've seen for a video game.

Yeah seeing them all here cements my feelings about this Direct.

Definitely mario golf! Other than that, knockout city looks like it would be fun for a few minutes.... Now and then....

@NightBeast

I do wish we had some Metroid info. I'm hoping for a new sidescroller metroid, maybe a remake of Zero Mission or Fusion in Samus Returns style, Prime Trilogy HD and Prime 4 at some point. The odds of all that happening are basically zero haha

Legend of Mana, SaGa Frontier, Zelda Skyward Sword, No More Heroes III, Mario Golf, Bravely Default II and Ninja Gaiden Master Collection.

@Ralizah I think they'll rename that one for sure. Octopath Traveler was lazy, but interesting at the same time. They may have something with "Saltiron Wars" or something within the game for a name. Or just "Salt and Iron"? I didn't pay too close attention since I was never good at those tactical RPG strategy games.

Fall guys, Outer Wilds, Mario Golf, Triangle Strategy and Legend of Mana for me.

Was already looking forward to Saga Frontier, no more heroes 3 and Bravely Default 2.

We’ll see about Zelda HD and Splatoon 3 closer to release .

The 3 I want are in a triangle: Project Triangle Strategy, Mario Golf, and Splatoon 3. Saga Frontier and Legend of Mana are maybes.

I'm interested in the Famicom games, but the originals are extremely short and probably rather simplistic experiences, so I dunno if they're going to be worth the asking price. Definitely waiting for a review on those before buying in.

@progx They'll rename it by removing the word "project," like they did with Octopath Traveler. The developers seem intent on making sure the titles for their games get progressively more weird over time.

The only things I need to tip me over the edge with Mario Golf is a good roster and customisation.

Skyward Sword is a yep.

I'll also be on the few people who says I want the DC Super Hero Girls game. I just started watching the show and it's cute and fun, and the game looks decent enough. Not £40 though, so I'll get it on sale. But it's published by Nintendo, so we'll see what happens with that.

Creating an infographic such as this is an evil, greedy tactic intended to get us to pay full price for these games.

@RickD says you... come back when they’re selling like crazy lol

I'd try out mario golf but not for 50 quid apart from that nothing I'm interested in

Lots of good stuff on there, contrary to what social media wants you to believe. "Everyone", "nobody", "no one", hyperboles....hyperboles everywhere! (me too, I guess)

Fall Guys, Project Triangle, Mario Golf, Splatoon 3. I would say Miitopia but it’s incredibly overpriced.

@GKO900 Just no pleasing some people. But to say all their heavy hitting titles are exhausted is laughable, man.

This Nintendo Direct featured a great variety of games. I will be buying Pyra and Mythra for Smash Ultimate, Skyward Sword HD, Knockout City, Mario Golf: Super Rush, Mario-related items for AC: NH, and Splatoon 3. Among all of these games, Splatoon 3 is the one I'm most looking forward to playing. Unfortunately, we have to wait until 2022, which is a long way off. At least other games will keep me entertained until then.

dc superhero girls is the game of the year

@EVIL-C What other amazing games they are gonna release enlighten me please

In the middle of the Direct I wrote up a joke Direct because I was so bored and sent it to my Discord friends - one of the entries was Nintendo reminding you Hades exists for no apparant reason.

Then it happened.

Look at all those original games, wow!!1

Best part is that is just the direct and not other stuff previously announced. Gonna be a good year and 2022 is already getting a foothold.

Mario Golf at long last and Knockout City for me. Probably get the latter on Xbox along with Fall Guys.
Miitopia as well ( it should be Cheaper than £40 tho) although I would of prefered a sequel.

Just wished for a bit more ' nintendo' after soo long a gap between direct proper. I don't mean remasters.
Plus I was rather hoping for Densha De Go to be annouced for the West and anything Advance Wars related.

@RickD
🤔 I can think of a lot of games on that list that a lot of people will buy.

I'm really interested in 9 of these games... Good Lord, that will be expensive.... I'll have to choose 4 or 5 and it won't be easy to do it...

And I didn't even mention the games I'm kind of interested in or the ones I need to get more info on...

Interesting how it features the 2022 titles from the direct but not the previously announced BOTW2, M4 and BAY3 even tho they are probably 2021 or 2022 titles as well?

Or are they not, and they are now 2023 titles?

@Clyde_Radcliffe if you get the first Famicom Detective on the eshop, you'll get 50% off the second game. Like you said, the price for each game is expensive in my opinion, but 50% off one of them sounds much better to me

I really want Skyward sword but we all know its going to be full price for a 9 year old game with virtually no work done to it beyond a simple upscale. We know this because Nintendo is a bunch of crooks with their prices.

And dont @ me, we all know their pricing is a joke for software.
When a collection of 3 mario games is full price but then they release a single 9 year old game for for the same price its obvious their pricing structure is a joke.

Mario Golf (finally!) and Hyrule Warriors expansion pass are day one purchases for me. On the fence about Skyward Sword HD. Was hoping for a multi-Zelda package that included Windwaker.

Mario Golf and Splatoon 3 for me.

This is so underwhelming it's kinda sad, they got their mouths full saying how they like to reveal games close to lunch dates and all that, and now the biggest game announced it's one full year away, 3 splatoons in like a 8 year period and their dormant franchises remain untouched. I came to this direct without expectations and somehow nintendo still managed to disappoint me. I think this direct was done to please investors rather than a need to communicate software to their audience. 😕

@ZeldaNX
Gotta take into account that the pandemic slowed them down tremendously, since apparently Nintendo does not let many employees on projects from home. That's why I'm not too upset about the content of the direct...2020 wasn't normal.

I am only interested in Famicom Detective Club and Project Triangle Strategy out of these. Not sure if Detective ones will be worth $35 though?

And a whopping 6 games are not re-releases and and are actual exclusives!

its like a wallpaper full of announcements

Do people really download them and circle games or are you just trying to make it a thing? 😛

For me: Project Triangle Strategy (demo is great so far), Ninja Gaiden Trilogy (physical) and MH Rise.

I do hope legend of mana and saga frontier get a physical edition in some region. I’m willing to import physical (I went mostly digital for imports this gen) on this. Skyward Sword and monster hunter are already paid for. Triangle Strategy is quite good. I hope there will be an art/guide book. I’ll likely get physical for detective club. I’m out of space as is (1TB).

I still gotta get Mario 3D world and BDII...oh and persona strikers.

Actually it’s easier to tell what I don’t want. Mario Golf, tales from the borderlands, knockout city (I don’t play online much), PvZ, stubs the zombie, apex legends, fall guys and maybe Neon White didn’t move me. I’m curious about NW though.

Still means I am getting a large amount of that list. Yep gonna be an expensive year.

Edit: Legend of Mana is getting a physical edition.

15 or 16 instadownloads or instabuys whilst the rest require reviews for me to decide.

Splatoon 3 was definitely the biggest announcement and I'm beyond excited for that one.

Beyond that I'll get Skyward Sword HD, Ninja Gaiden, No More Heroes 3, Fall Guys, and the season pass for Age of Calamity for sure, and heavily considering MH Rise, Plants vs Zombies, Ghosts N Goblins, and the Famicom Detective Club games.

There's also some other upcoming games that weren't in the Direct that I'm definitely grabbing like Crash 4 and New Pokemon Snap.

@Ryu_Niiyama All the Mana games re-released so far (with the exception of Adventures of Mana which was a mobile game) has had a physical edition of some kind so I believe Legend of Mana will too. Not sure about SaGa Frontier though.

Apex legends looks insulting on the switch

@RickD,

I think they may come to you for sales advice at some point, just don't hold your breath.

Plenty of interesting stuff, and because of my backlog, I'm glad there's not a lot I'm eager to buy this summer. The Famicom games look interesting, and the discount for both titles bought together is alright, even if the price could be cheaper. I've been so curious about old, obscure Nintendo stuff like this, so I'm willing to buy it. I've never played Skyward Sword, so that was actually exciting for me, though Nintendo should mention BotW 2 soon. I'm in the middle of a Miitopia run on 3DS, and I'm debating finishing that and getting the Switch version-curious about if the face transferring from 3DS is still available. A lot of variety came from the random faces that other people with the game made. Add SM3DW + Bowser's Fury and Pokemon Snap, and I'm set for the Summer.

Lots of other stuff was cool too. The only one I'm extremely likely to get in the future barring some unexpected development is Splatoon 3. Project Triangle, MH:Rise, and Fall Guys are titles I'll try for free, but not sure about buying them later on.

@TheFullAndy that was sort of the point of the direct, to put everything we already knew was coming into one video incase there was something you missed.

@RickD the comment secton here are saying otherwise

No more Heroes 3 is something I'm definitely getting ( absolutely love my old wii versions of 1 & 2) and even though it wasn't in the ditect, Pokemon snap is definitely on the list for my youngest (and secretary for me too why lie...) while Rise is definitely going to eat up a ton of my time (and in the best way possible) as I plan on hunting side by side with my eldest whose actually been learning to play both Generations and Tri via the co-op arena (which is ridiculous couch co op wii-mote fun) so will be nice to spend some quality time together in Rise.

Also if I my old man still plays games, I might get Mario golf for when he visits. I have great memories of playing the N64 version with him as a kid (prefecting my shots until I could finally beat him) and it would be nice to just play again together. Pitty there's not tetrisphere...I'd be all over that too vs my mum who man...she bet the entire game! (those last cpu challenges were insanely hard and for someone who really only plays super casually gawd...my mum is the terisphere queen)

I wish this infographic included the games that were announced separate from the Nintendo Direct, since there are a lot more quality games slated to come out between now and summer.

LEGEND OF MANA

@Meikahidenori

No issue with that, just the article title is misleading somewhat.

No more heroes 3, a game I already knew was coming out. The rest, I don't care. Sooo underwhelming.
