During April 2nd, Nintendo dedicated an entire Nintendo Direct session to the upcoming Switch 2 console. The event kicked off with the unveiling of Mario Kart World and transitioned into discussing the hardware specifications. Subsequently, a variety of third-party games destined for the Switch 2 were highlighted, as well as forthcoming first-party titles such as Donkey Kong Bananza and Kirby Air Riders. Towards the end of the presentation, Nintendo failed to disclose the price of the Switch 2. Instead, the cost details were provided on their official website and in post-livestream press releases. Unfortunately, this pricing information was accompanied by game prices, which left the audience somewhat dissatisfied.

It’s beneficial for FromSoftware to work with various publishers instead of relying solely on Bandai Namco Entertainment. If the studio were exclusive to Bandai Namco, it might lose some business power. By collaborating with different publishers, FromSoftware can maintain its popularity, preserve creative freedom, and enhance its negotiating strength. This strategy was employed in 2015 when FromSoftware partnered with Sony for ‘Bloodborne’, and again with Activision for ‘Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice’. The ongoing approach to publishing, as seen in ‘The Duskbloods’, could lead to an intriguing future for the studio.

Games given away for free each month through Prime Gaming can be accessed via various platforms, primarily the Amazon Games app, but may also be found on GOG Galaxy, the Epic Games Store, or the Xbox app when used on Windows PCs.

The PC Engine, Neo Geo, and CD-i were less mainstream consoles, but their game selections couldn’t compare in popularity to those of their better-known competitors.

As a follower of the Zelda series, I’ve often wondered about how all these games might interconnect within a unified, official timeline. The various titles offer diverse settings, alternate renditions of Hyrule, and unique portrayals of previous characters. Some games share connections, such as The Wind Waker and Majora’s Mask, which are direct sequels to Ocarina of Time, each exploring separate universes that branched off from the time-traveling adventures in Ocarina.

Towards the finale of the show, it was quite unexpected that they announced the return of a series – Kirby Air Riders, which is a sequel to the 2003’s game, Kirby Air Ride. This new racing game can be seen as an exciting continuation for one of Nintendo GameCube’s less celebrated titles.
