Nintendo has dropped a new Direct Mini: Partner Showcase today (August 26), which delved into multiple third-party games coming to the Nintendo Switch.
The 10-minute presentation packed over ten games into its short runtime, highlighting a range of titles, a heavy emphasis being on music-based titles.
Kingdom Hearts: Melody Of Memory started off the proceedings, giving fans a new look at the new rhythm-based game in the franchise and Just Dance 2021 was also shown and is said to feature 40 hot new tracks to dance along to.
Taiko No Tatsujin, the fan-favourite drumming game is getting an RPG makeover with the Rhythmic Adventure Pack, expected to release later this year. Accompanying this is Harmonix’s new title, Fuser, which showcased the multiplayer elements of the game and is also scheduled sometime this autumn.
Outside of rhythm games, Nintendo also announced some games for action fans with World Of Tanks Blitz coming to the E-Shop as a free-to-play title today, and Big Rumble Boxing: Creed Champions, a Rocky inspired boxing game coming in 2021.
Final Fantasy fans were treated to trio of games, as Collection of SaGa Final Fantasy Legend will come bundled with the first three titles and a host of quality of life improvements. On the other hand, Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 was also revealed, blending the two classic puzzle games into one package and is described as the ultimate crossover.
