It's time!
It's finally here! After what's felt like an age, the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct is upon us.

The Switch's swan song..?
Well, we knew it was coming, but this is still pretty exciting, right? Yes, the latest Nintendo Direct is here, and depending on when the Big N decides to reveal its new hardware, it could very well be the last one focused solely on the Switch. Gosh, what a thought.

February always delivers, doesn't it? The first Nintendo Direct of 2024 is here — and it's a Partner Showcase!

No, it's not Triforce Heroes and that Tingle spin-off
Everyone's got an opinion on The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. But the real cool nerds are the ones that have opinions on Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks, the pair of Wind Waker sequels that used every single mechanic on the DS to great effect. To put it another way, Phantom Hourglass and...
