Another third-party banger. If some publishers made the mistake of not supporting the original Switch enough, it seems that many have learnt their lesson for the Switch 2.

Star Fox! Splatoon! Rhythm Heaven! If the 50-minute Direct wasn’t enough for you, Nintendo followed it up with a whopping 90 minutes of gameplay footage from some of those upcoming games in a Treehouse: Live show. Watching the equivalent of a feature-length film right off the back of a stacked Direct is a lot, so…
