Everything Nintendo Announced During the E3 2021 Nintendo Direct

Nintendo aired its Nintendo Direct E3 2021 and showed off everything we can expect for the next six months and a little beyond.

While there's no brand-new IP and no word of the Switch Pro yet, there is something for almost everyone.

Nintendo crammed party games, revived franchises, horror games, and more into just 40 minutes.

Almost every game showcased has a release date attached to it, with the exception of some third party announcements.

It's a lot to keep up with, but we've got you covered with our Nintendo E3 2021 recap.

Breath of the Wild 2

Nintendo debuted a new BotW 2 trailer and announced a Breath of the Wild 2 release frame of 2022.

It's a beefy trailer that raises many questions about what to expect from the expanded version of Hyrule as we venture into the sky once more.

We've covered it in more detail here.

New Smash Bros DLC Character

Kazuya from Tekken is joining the Smash Bros Ultimate lineup this summer. Check him out in action here.

Zelda Game & Watch

As part of the Zelda 35th anniversary celebration, Nintendo is releasing a Zelda Game & Watch system that includes Zelda, Zelda 2, Link's Awakening, and a classic Game & Watch game. Check out pre-order info here.

Metroid Dread

Metroid Dread, or Metroid 5, picks up from where Metroid Fusion left off and follows Samus Aran as she faces off against a terrifying robotic threat.

The Dread in the name signifies the sense of creeping terror the next Metroid game, as, like in Metroid Fusion, the main threat will pursue Samus throughout her journey. Find out more about Metroid Dread here.
