The first Nintendo Direct of 2022 had 40 minutes of new game announcements, but fans who were eager to hear about Metroid Prime 4 or The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2 would have to wait a bit longer.
Enthusiasts of Splatoon, Xenoblade Chronicles, and Fire Emblem won't be disappointed, while sports fans will have two things to look forward to later this spring.
XENOBLADE CHRONICLES 3 WILL BE RELEASED IN SEPTEMBER
Monolith Soft has revealed that Xenoblade Chronicles 3, the sequel to 2017's open-world RPG Xenoblade Chronicles 2, will be released this fall.
The universes of Xenoblade Chronicles and Xenoblade Chronicles 2 will be explored in this narrative.
It's a vast, war-torn globe full of massive combat machines.
SPLATOON 3 WILL BE RELEASED THIS SUMMER
Splatoon 3, which was announced a year ago during the Nintendo Direct in February 2021, received a release date and a two-minute trailer on Wednesday.
It'll be here this summer; I'm afraid I can't give you a more precise date.
However, the fan-favorite Salmon Run mode from Splatoon 2 is back as Salmon Run Next Wave.
NINTENDO SWITCH WILL GET A WII SPORTS SEQUEL
Nintendo Switch Sports, a sequel to the wildly popular Wii Sports series, will be released on April 29 with a beta test later this month.

MARIO STRIKERS: BATTLE LEAGUE LACES BEGINS ON JUNE 10TH
Summer has always been a terrific season for Nintendo's Mario sports franchise, and Mario Strikers: Battle League for Nintendo Switch will bring it back in June.
With its array of special moves and power-up items, the five-on-five soccer variant emphasizes goal-scoring and heavy action.
Mario Strikers Charged for the Wii was the latest Mario Strikers game released 15 years ago.
NINTENDO SWITCH WILL GET NO MAN'S SKY
With a release this summer on Nintendo Switch, Hello Games' space-exploration/survival epic celebrates its sixth birthday.
The No Man's Sky Nintendo Switch Edition will include all of the game's upgrades from the past five years for the PlayStation, PC, and Xbox editions.
Frontiers, Prisms, Expeditions, and Companions are the four main updates released by Hello in 2021, each providing new gameplay and visuals to the game.
FIRE EMBLEM WARRIORS: THREE HOPES IN JUNE ARRIVES
Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes is a distinct story set in the same universe as 2019's tactical RPG Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Houses, starring some familiar people as well. Houses' Byleth, Edelgard, Dimitri, and Claude star in this musou game.
IN APRIL, ADVANCE WARS 1+2 RE-BOOT CAMP LAUNCHES
On April 8, a remaster of the first two Advance War games for the Game Boy Advance will be released.
Voiceover lines for all of the game's commanding officers have been added, as well as a custom map generator and the option to re-do turns that have gone horribly wrong.
Multiplayer is available both locally and online.
THE LATEST TRAILER FOR KIRBY IS DESCRIBED IN 'MOUTHFUL MODE.'
Kirby's next 3D platforming adventure, which will be released on March 25, is the Switch's next major release.
Nintendo released another trailer for the game, this time showcasing Kirby's even more ravenous appetite – he can devour a car and a vending machine.
PORTAL AND PORTAL 2 COMMING TO SWITCH
Portal was released 15 years ago, and Portal 2 was released approximately 11 years ago. Both will be available in the Portal: Companion Collection, which will be released later this year on Nintendo Switch.
Local, internet, and split-screen multilayer will all be supported in Portal 2.
The exact date and cost have yet to be revealed.
DLC FOR MARIO KART 8 DELUXE WILL BE AVAILABLE THROUGH 2023
The Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass includes 48 extra courses for Mario Kart 8, which will be released in six installments of eight maps each from March 18 to the end of 2023.

Tracks from Super Mario Kart, Mario Kart: Super Circuit, Mario Kart 64, Mario Kart: Double Dash, Mario Kart DS, Mario Kart Wii, Mario Kart 7, and Mario Kart Tour are included in the rest of the Booster Course Pass.
METROID DREAD FREE UPDATE MAKES IT SIMPLE AND EASY TO USE
We didn't get a single piece of Metroid Prime 4 news – none, zilch, nada. Instead, Nintendo has announced a free upgrade for Metroid Dread, a 2D side-scroller that was released in October.
Metroid Dread will get a Rookie Mode to aid those who have found the notoriously difficult game too difficult to master, as well as a one-hit-kill Dread Mode for masochists.
