Earlier, Nintendo's first large-scale Nintendo Direct release in 2022 was held as scheduled, and the 40-minute film was full of surprises, and many of the first announced works will be released this year, making up for the regret that there are no new works in 2021. Although there is no new news from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2 and Angel Hunter 3 that everyone expects, the entire game lineup of Nintendo in 2022 does make the Doctor quite satisfied, which is full of sincerity!
Dr. Has compiled and summarized the information revealed at the press conference, and shared it with you today. Due to space limitations, I have selected products that I am interested in.
Xenoblade Excalibur 3
In 2020, Nintendo launched "Xenoblade: Ultimate Edition", bringing players "Xenoblade 3" after two years, which really made many players not expect! That's right, this new game is expected to launch in September 2022, so you don't have to wait too long. The development of the game is still Monolith Soft, the world view of "Xenoblade 3" is the same as "Xenoblade" and "Xenos Excalibur 2", and the story is completely new.
Sprasine 3
We already knew that Sprasaki 3 would be launched this year, and an earlier press conference confirmed that the game would be officially launched in the summer, and revealed more salmon run games. Unlike in the past, we can see that the variety of enemies and attack patterns have increased again, while we have more ways to throw goldfish (eggs, an important collection item for winning the mode) to pass the ball to teammates, and more big moves to solve the approaching enemies. The playability of the "Jet Warrior" series does not need to be repeated, and the doctor recommends that you start.
Flame Emblem Matchless: Wind Flower Snow Moon
Nintendo has released a list of recommended games of the year in 2019, with "Fire Emblem: Wind and Snow Moon" at the top of the list. It has now been adapted into a matchless game title, Flame Emblem Matchless: Wind and Snow Moon, which is expected to be released on June 24. The matchless game "Zelda: Apocalypse" adapted from "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" has received good word-of-mouth and sales, so Nintendo's move is quite normal.
Mario Kart 8: Deluxe Edition DLC
The rumored Mario Kart 9 didn't appear, and everyone didn't expect Nintendo to add tracks to the old game Mario Kart 8: Deluxe Edition! The additional track Pass, priced at 2,500 yen (about 137 yuan), includes a total of 48 tracks and is launched in six installments, all of which will be completed by the end of 2023. Does this seem to imply that Mario Kart 9 will launch in 2024? Dr. previously shared with you the article "When will Nintendo's new game console Switch Pro be available?" Maybe 2024", I predict that the new Nintendo console will also be launched in 2024, so it seems that it is really possible!
Nintendo Switch Sports
You should remember the somatosensory game "Wii Sports" that was popular all over the world, right? Now it has a sequel (resurrection)! Nintendo Switch Sports, which is scheduled to be released on April 29, temporarily includes volleyball, bowling, fencing, tennis, badminton, and soccer, with the addition of "golf" and other sports. After many years, the new work has naturally had some innovations, such as: in bowling games, all players can move at the same time, without waiting for other players; support random online battles and so on.
Mario Battle Striker: Battle League
At this presentation, Nintendo unveiled the latest installment of the Mario Soccer series, Mario Striker: Battle League. The last Mario Soccer game was already in the Wii era, and the new game on the Switch is also a "fighting" plus "soccer" action game, which is expected to be officially launched on June 10.
In addition to the above six products, Nintendo has also released new information on the HD-2D remake of "Wild Rider", "Taiko Drum Master: Bang Bang Thunder Festival", "Star Kirby: Exploration and Discovery", "Triangle Strategy" and other products. The Doctor believes that Nintendo's 2022 Switch lineup is quite strong, and it is foreseeable that Switch sales will continue to climb, and the new machine Switch 2 will wait!
