As previously stated by Nintendo, there will be more of these partner presentations through the rest of the year. Anything in today’s presentation take your fancy? With COVID-19 Nintendo is keeping first party titles quiet until they are really sure of a release schedule, but hopefully we will get a first party Direct soon.
