Forever known as the Direct where we saw Mario’s nipples

Recommended Videos

Not five minutes into today’s 45-minute Nintendo Direct presentation, I felt like I was drowning in bite-sized 3DS announcements and release-window confirmations for known entities.

The company quickly covered a lot of ground before reaching the good stuff: surprise Switch ports for Doom and Wolfenstein II, and an extended look at Mario Odyssey, including two new worlds.

Here’s all our coverage!

  • Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga remake coming on October 6
  • Check out these new Ultra Beasts in Pokemon Ultra Sun and Moon
  • Orange you happy there’s an orange New 2DS XL?

  • Splatoon 2 to get classic and new arenas soon

I’ve been asked a few times lately what my game of the year is (or likely will be), and I always hesitate as I do a mental check of everything I’ve played and loved before admitting “Yeah, it’s gonna be Mario.”
