Nintendo Direct February 2021: All the reveals and big announcements
Nintendo returns to its Direct showcases with some big announcements, but there's no Switch Pro or Metroid Prime 4 news.
Today's Nintendo Direct showcase had a few big announcements, but no details on a Switch Pro were revealed.
Today was the first Nintendo Direct in 533 days and it was a bit of a disappointment for anyone expecting colossal things. Gamers didn't get any huge earth-shattering reveals like a new Switch Pro model, nor did we get big Metroid or Zelda collections to celebrate both franchises' 35th anniversary. No Zelda Breath of the Wild 2 news, either.
So what did we get? The big headlining news was Apex Legends' March 9 release date on Switch, details on Octopath Traveler 2, Fall Guys, a surprise Ninja Gaiden 3-pack remaster collection,, Splatoon 3, a new Mario Golf game, and a fully-fledged Skyward Sword HD remaster on Switch complete with JoyCon-adapted controls.
