Nintendo just gave Switch owners a preview of what they can expect in the followup to one of the company’s strongest years ever. The publisher held a “mini” version of one of its Direct video events today, and it revealed a startling number of ports for its hybrid handheld/home console along with some new surprises.
Highlights include The World Ends With You: Final Remix, which is a revised take on the excellent 2007 Nintendo DS role-playing adventure from Square Enix. Publisher Bandai Namco also used this event to reveal Dark Souls: Remastered, which is an updated take on the 2011 PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 combat-heavy RPGs that is due out May 25. Nintendo is also bringing more of its Wii U games to the Switch. If you missed out on 2014’s Hyrule Warriors, the Definitive Edition is on the way with content from both the Wii U and 3DS versions this spring. Donkey Kong country: Tropical Freeze is also swinging from Wii U to Switch. The 2014 Retro Studio platformer hits the latest Nintendo system May 4 and includes Funky Kong as a playable character.
It wasn’t all ports. Nintendo revealed some new content for Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battles that introduces Donkey Kong as a playable character. Super Mario Odyssey is also getting new costumes and an online mode with special host Luigi.
