Gamers have been spoiled for choice with showcases as the world recovers from the pandemic, and none does it as well as Nintendo. Besides, who can refuse a good ol’ fashioned Legend of Zelda reveal?
The gaming giant hosted the Nintendo Direct 2022 event on Tuesday – a 40-minute showcase of new Nintendo Switch games coming soon to a console near you.
Direct would initially have been live-streamed, however, the stream was cancelled “as a mark of respect during this period of national mourning” following Queen Elizabeth II’s death.
Nintendo said: “We will not live stream Nintendo Direct [on 13 September]. It will be published as a video-on-demand on our Youtube Channel at 4pm UK time.”
After almost three years of secrecy, Nintendo confirmed the release of Fire Emblem Engage and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
The Tears of the Kingdom trailer also showcased some of the upcoming gameplay. Unfortunately, we’ll have to wait – the game will only be released on 12 May 2023.
