After a cryptic tweet on Wednesday, January 10, the internet guessed Nintendo had something going on, and it turns out they were right. A surprise Nintendo Direct presentation has gone live, and you can watch it in its entirety below. The focus is primarily on Nintendo Switch games due out in the first half of the year, and if you want a rundown of all the news and the big reveals, you're in the right place. Here's everything Nintendo revealed during today's presentation.

Was there any news on Metroid Prime 4?


And is there anything Nintendo WON'T charge $60 for? Tropical Freeze and Dark Souls are already up for preorder on Amazon for $59.99.

Nah, Prime 4 probably won’t be out until 2019 at least. This year I’m expecting they will be doing shitloads of ports from the Wii U. The Switch has pretty much already outsold it in a year. Expect Super Smash Bros Deluxe around Christmas.

What's the vibe on Animal Crossing? I'd probably buy a Switch for that and Prime alone.

I’m sure it’s coming. I’d expect Animal Crossing to be original and not a port though given how effectively the system itself can use it.

Not even mad. I missed the WiiU completely, the only N console I haven't owned.

Serious question, are you fine with paying $60 for last gen ports?

Depends what they do to them. If for instance the Super Smash Bros Deluxe is both the 3DS and Wii U version combined and adds say 8 characters and some new stages, I'd be fine with that. That's what they're rumored to be doing anyway.

Huge announcements, although a lot of quick cash-grab ports, these are quick cash grab ports I can get behind - DS, Hyrule, TWEWY, Ys....I like them all.

I am super stoked for the new Mario Tennis, and I hope they learned from the WiiU debacle.

Kirby Star Allies is looking like a nice little romp too.

The M+R DLC is amazing, I have to admit. SO cool. Odyssey too.

Two things about the Tropical Freeze announcement

1) It's one of the best 2D platoformers of the past 10 years, easily
2) It's stupid hard, the Funky Kong addition makes a lot of sense. It's cute and cuddly because of DK and the graphics, but we're talking some Super Meat Boy levels of tough in parts, without as generous of respawning. It looks like Funky is built so people can actually beat the game without throwing a few controllers, and that's a good thing.

Hyrule Warriors on the Switch is cool. If they'd re-release Twilight Princess HD I'd sell my Wii U.

Never played and would buy immediately

I’d rather have a rerelease of the Wind Waker. I’ve been saying that Twilight Princess is overratted for about a decade, but Wind Waker is underrated. Twilight Princess goes off a cliff face in its second half. Seriously, it’s like the plot only affects like 5 people in the second half. While OoT decides to step it up a notch in its second half, TP just decides to remove really all conflict save for Midna. They should have gone back to the drawing board as far as the story is concerned, something Skyward Sword also suffers from.

I never played Twilight Princess or Skyward Sword, so I would love to have them on the Switch. Wind Waker was amazing but I never finished it, would definitely pick back up on Switch! Same for Majora's Mask.

Dark Souls on a Nintendo console is huge, will open it up to a whole new audience that never got a chance to play it.

We need more people playing and loving more demanding games.

It's the company that owns the brand doing that. They're on PS4 and Xbox One too.
