When it comes to Direct presentations, Nintendo has a habit of slightly changing the broadcast depending on the region. Japan normally gets some different announcements and at the company's E3 Direct, it was no different.
While we've already covered at least one of these titles in a standalone post, we've now rounded up the rest of them into a single post, so you can see what else was announced. Keep in mind most of these games are Japan-only releases for now.

That’s quite a lot of good looking games that we’re missing out on!
I wish Power Pros would get localized more regularly. The PS2 game that made it to the states was great. Super Mega Baseball has mostly filled my arcade baseball itch, but nobody beats Power Pros' RPG style sim stuff. It's all so damn charming.
Konami keep supporting modern consoles with Power Pro and Tokimeki games but skipping Dance Dance Revolution ?! 😤
Super Robot Wars is the only thing here I have any familiarity with but they also did get the superior SMT V trailer so there is that
@Anti-Matter I must ask, If they did port it how do they? don't you need a dance pad for that? bc If not, Hell ya I would be down for that!
Will be getting the cave shooters and robot wars for sure. Curious about Worth Life.
@Snatcher
Some peoples can play Switch games by using DDR plastic mat Wii / Gamecube version with Gamecube controller slot to USB.
@RudeAnimat0r I remember they did two releases in the states on the Wii but that's the last time I ever saw them here
oh how i wish nintendo would localize all of these games konami is bringing on in japan. hey konami why not show the west some love with a switch versions of new castkevania and contra games.
At this point I'm just glad Shin Megami Tensei and Advance Wars are no longer Japanese exclusives like they were the pre-GBA days.
@tntswitchfan68 But didn't they just gave us Contra: Rogue Corps or are we gonna pretend that one never existed?
@Ghost_of_Hasashi Yeah, but I mean a real good Contra game like a classic 2D one that is brand new like Metroid Dread. Contra 5 or 6 or something to that effect.
@tntswitchfan68 Yeah, and make sequels to Gyruss and Time Pilot while you're at it
Super Robot Wars 30 looks fun 👍
Trying to save money this year...but I'll probably Cave and buy the shmups.
@The-Nate i agree and wow haven't heard those titles in a while. yes i would love to see those games as well.
Each Super Robot Wars game has a couple of guest series, this one I hope would bring more together... if so I’ll want to pick it up.
@eatdogs There was a weird bobble head one on 360, if I remember correctly. I recall it reviewed poorly and I think it didn't have the RPG stuff.
@Anti-Matter Nobody cares about Dance Dance Revolution xo
@Rob3008
But i do care Dance Dance Revolution.
I am a huge fan of Dance Dance Revolution and other BEMANI games from Konami.
DDR is my best rhythm games ever.
They need to start localizing Tokimeki Memorial games.
I must say, I reckon now is a good time for DDR to make a comeback in the homes. What with ring fit being so well recieved, there is defo a market for physical (not that kind of physical, collectors lol) games.
@HotGoomba I agree with you on that.
