Gamecube releases have been heavily rumoured for the Virtual Console on Switch. Nintendo recently added Gamecube controller support and is believed to have tested Luigi’s Mansion, Super Smash Bros Melee and Super Mario Sunshine (via Eurogamer).
Is this Nintendo’s way of teasing an imminent Super Mario Sunshine release? Could Virtual Console be about to launch on Switch?
Hopefully we’ll find out soon.
The biggest news to come from the Nintendo Direct is that Dark Souls Remastered is coming to Nintendo Switch.
According to Nintendo, the Remastered release will include the Artorias of the Abyss DLC, as well as an improved frame-rate and resolution.
It’s also been announced for PS4 and Xbox One.
It was also revealed that Dark Souls Remastered would have a May 25 release date.
Mario Tennis Aces was also announced, alongside The World Ends With You Final Remix and ports of Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze and Hyrule Warriors.
And based on Nintendo’s track record, fans are expecting another Direct conference to take place very soon.
As Reddit user Natzore points out (via VG247), Nintendo Direct Mini presentations tend to be closely followed by full Nintendo Directs.
The biggest gap between a Nintendo Direct Mini and a regular Nintendo Direct is 20 days.
The shortest gap, on the other hand, is just a single day back in 2012.
