A new Metroid?
Screenshot by CNETNintendo's E3 Direct took place on Tuesday, June 15, and showed off some big upcoming titles. One of the biggest surprises was Metroid Dread, a new 2D game in the series that comes out in October. There was also a new Mario Party shown, a Zelda Game & Watch and more footage from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2. What didn't make the show was any upgraded version of the Switch.
When and where can I watch the E3 Nintendo Direct?
The show is over, but you can watch a replay on GameSpot's YouTube channel.
What is a Nintendo Direct?
When Nintendo wants to show off its upcoming games or hardware, it'll showcase them in a livestreamed Nintendo Direct event. Sometimes it shows off a bunch of titles, whether they're major franchises or indie games, and other times it spends an entire program dedicated to a single game, as it did with Pokemon Sword and Shield.
Kazuya is about to Smash
The first announcement from the event: Kazuya Mishima from the Tekken series is the next character coming to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate on the Switch. He'll have the same moves from the Tekken series, although with some slight differences to fit in with the Smash gameplay. More info about Kazuya will come in another Nintendo Direct on June 28.
Life Is (doubly) Strange
The beloved Life Is Strange series will head to the Switch with Life Is Strange: True Colors and Life Is Strange Remastered Collection. Life Is Strange: Two Colors comes out on Sept. 10, and the Life Is Strange Remastered Collection will come out later this year.
Catch up on the Life Is Strange series on the Switch.

WarioWare returns
The mini-game-filled WarioWare is back. WarioWare: Get It Together will have a lot of super short mini-games and even two-player multiplayer. It comes out for the Switch on Sept. 10.
Shin Megami Tensei V out in November

Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp
Advance Wars was a turn-based strategy game first released in the US on the Game Boy Advance. The series has been forgotten by Nintendo, but the first two Advance War games -- Advance Wars and Advance Wars: Black Hole Rising -- will return on the Switch as Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp, arriving on Dec. 3.
Zelda goes portable... again
Before there was Gameboy, Nintendo had Game & Watch. The small electronic devices had simple games for people to carry with them. The Zelda Game & Watch is a bit more sophisticated: It'll have the Legends of Zelda, Legends of Zelda 2: Adventures of Link, Link's Awakening and a game called Vermin starring Link. The new Game & Watch is to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the series, and it comes out later this year.
So many Zelda games in one tiny package.
