Nintendo managed to fit in a huge number of new and upcoming games into its 40 minute Nintendo Direct presentation on Wednesday (over 26 in all). Nintendo's Yoshiaki Koizumi even introduced a new Switch Online expansion pack that gives you access to a range of N64 and Sega Megadrive games. While Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto made an appearance to drop a huge announcement about the upcoming Mario film.

Mario also stars in one of the biggest game announcements of the night, Mario Party Superstars, which features classic Nintendo 64 era boards. Kirby gets the 3D treatment in Kirby and the Forgotten Land, Splatoon 3 takes ink and color to extremes and we got a first look at a trailer for the new-look Bayonetta 3.

Star Wars fans will also be very excited to hear that Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic is coming to the Switch this November. Meanwhile, on the lighter side of Disney, the Disney Magical World 2: Enchanted Edition is bound to raise a smile from the younger ones.
