DF Direct: Nintendo's games showcase impressed - even without Switch 2


Nintendo Direct

Watch on YouTube Lego games have traditionally been some of the most faithful and fun franchise adapations, and it's clear that this title has a ton of promise as well - especially on Switch where the visuals and gameplay are a perfect fit for handheld play. That meant a lot of genuinely good games that didn't find a huge audience, so Nintendo has been able to pull from that well and do (relatively) straightforward remakes and remasters to create profitable Switch releases. I'm cautiously optimistic that Nintendo's strategy here is a wise one, and there's always the possibility for both a faster-than-expected Switch 2 and a stacked launch line-up given the extra time they've given themselves to get the new console ready, even if there are relatively few wholly new Wii U titles waiting in the wings for their moment to shine.
