Nintendo Direct Mini Round-Up: All Of The New Games Heading To Switch

Earlier today, Nintendo published a surprise Direct Mini to YouTube, giving us a look at games that will be heading to Switch throughout the rest of the year. Nintendo covered a lot of ground during the presentation, talking about a number of first and third-party games. If you missed the show, here's a breakdown of everything that was announced.

By far, the biggest announcements of the show concerned Nintendo's first-party games. The company detailed the first seasonal events for Animal Crossing: New Horizons, which are both taking place in April. It also revealed that the next DLC fighter for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate will be a character from ARMS, though we'll have to wait until June for a full reveal and release.

Nintendo also confirmed that the first part of the Pokemon Sword and Shield expansion pass, The Isle of Armor, will be launching in June, so that'll be a busy month for first-party Switch games. Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3, on the other hand, is getting a third expansion pass pack that includes the Fantastic Four and Doctor Doom, while Ring Fit Adventure has received a new update that adds a rhythm game featuring a number of tracks from Nintendo's other Switch games.
