When is the next Nintendo Direct? Those are words on everyone's lips as soon as the presentation they just watched ends, and who can blame you? Nintendo Directs are nothing short of a treat, showcasing what's coming to Switch, be it first-party games like Mario and Zelda, huge third-party releases like Life is Strange and Resident Evil, or indie gems.
Many games that appear in a Nintendo Direct find their way onto our numerous lists, such as the best Switch RPGs. But that's hardly surprising, especially when it comes to Nintendo's first-party offerings, such as the Zelda games, Mario games, and Pokémon games. These days, any new entries from those prestigious franchises tend to get a Nintendo Direct announcement.
