Recommended Videos

We weren’t entirely sure what to expect from today’s delayed Nintendo Direct, but I think it was worth the wait. Aside from a rather uneventful overview of Nintendo Switch Online, the showing was one announcement after another. Not the most shocking of reveals, mind you, but good stuff all around.

A main-series Animal Crossing game is coming to Nintendo Switch in 2019, so yeah, I’m good.
