The July 31 Nintendo Direct was boring. I wasn’t expecting fireworks since it was just a Partner Showcase, so we have no news about Mario or Zelda games, except for Hyrule Warriors. The show was all about titles other companies will release on the original Nintendo Switch and/or the Switch 2, like Borderlands 4 and the weirdly titled action RPG The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales.
While I risk sounding like an old man yelling at a cloud, the magic of the original Switch just isn’t there with the Switch 2. I remember wanting to buy the new edition at launch, but now I realize I was lucky that scalpers snatched up all the units in the first weeks, because the current games lineup still isn’t that impressive, aside from Donkey Kong Bananza.
