It had been months since Nintendo had taken the time to communicate "directly" with its community. Today, the Japanese manufacturer splits a Nintendo Direct "Mini" of just under half an hour, giving new information on titles already announced. If you were expecting a big revelation, sorry but no big announcement was made today. However, this is an opportunity to see more on some big titles on Switch, like the remake of the excellent Xenoblade Chronicles.
