Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope and Persona 5 Royal were among the highlights on a packed Nintendo Direct that focused on third-party Nintendo Switch games.
Despite plenty of rumours, we don’t have confirmation of new first-party Nintendo titles bolstering the Switch’s fall lineup. Nonetheless, June’s Nintendo Direct revealed a host of third-party games to support Splatoon 3 and Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.
Highlights included a closer look at Ubisoft’s Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope and the long-awaited confirmation that the Persona series is coming to Switch.
NieR:Automata is also heading to Switch later this year, along with Return to Monkey Island and Harvestella, a new RPG life sim from Square Enix. And the best news? Portal: Companion Collection is out today.
