Following rumors that nearly broke the internet over the past few days, Nintendo posted a 15 minute-long video focusing on Q1 2018 on the Switch. The Nintendo Direct Mini, posted below, confirmed several new titles coming to the console, as well as downloadable content for existing games. Read a brief rundown of what was covered in the presentation below.

Mischa grew up with video games and still has a deep love for many - especially fun, colorful RPGs. Some of her favorites include Pokémon, Animal Crossing, Pikmin, Fantasy Life, Kingdom Hearts, Skyrim, Civilization V, and Stardew Valley. She loves nights in with her boyfriend cooking Mexican food, watching Studio Ghibli movies, and going head-to-head in their favorite games. Mischa might not beat you in Super Smash Bros, but she owns a replica of Arwen’s sword and Hermione’s wand, so... don’t rub it in too much.

    Dark Souls is a nice surprise, wouldn’t mind finishing Tropical Freeze on the go. Mario Tennis makes sense for joy-con play as you dont have to split the small screen for multiplayer. If the story mode is anything substantial I’ll be in for that.
