Nintendo fulfilled their promises recently with the delivery of a short but sweet Nintendo Direct mini broadcast set to please even the most casual of fans.
Although some may be disappointed that this is not the grand reveal of Nintendo new release gameplay that many were speculating about for weeks, it hails the start of something good.
This broadcast is hopefully the start of many to come from Nintendo to fill the void of the lack of E3 2020 coverage and to keep our spirits up during quarantine.
A lot of games were briefly showcased in the new Nintendo Direct mini broadcast including Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive edition, Borderlands and Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 to name a few.
Here is the lowdown on the main takeaways from the latest Nintendo Direct mini to get you excited for the upcoming Switch releases.
