Nintendo just wrapped up its Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase, and to no one's surprise, the Switch 2 was not mentioned. Instead, the actual surprise is that the event was more compelling than anticipated. It can be hit or miss when these shows exclusively revolve around smaller titles from third-party developers, but this was absolutely a hit.
With plenty of great games shown off, particularly surprises like a remake of a cult classic and sequel to a slightly unknown but beloved metroidvania, there's so much to look forward to. And before we begin, a quick honorable mention for Super Monkey Ball: Banana Rumble is in order, as it's something I didn't expect and will make its fans lose their minds.
