New Fire Emblem, Link’s Awakening Remaster, & New Platinum Action Game Highlighted In Latest Nintendo Direct

Nintendo just wrapped up its monthly Nintendo Direct video stream with a bunch of new announcements that will make a lot of fans happy and placated this year. We’ll break it down in order of highest importance to us at Kakuchopurei.

Fire Emblem: Three Houses Brings In Turn-Based Strategy Gaming & Waifus/Husbandos This Year

In this latest Fire Emblem game, players control a male/female mercenary-turned-war-professor in a war school that happens to teach students and royalties from three houses in the continent of Fódlan. You can side with either houses (Edrestrian, Faerghus, and Leicester Alliance), each with their own warriors and students (ie future waifus/husbandos).

In true Fire Emblem tradition, the combat is all turn-based and features different classes and the patented triangle system. The game is slated for a 26 July release this year.

The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening Remaster

The Game Boy classic is getting a much-deserved remaster complete with cute 3D graphics while retaining its top-down action adventure view and trappings. Players control Link as he battles his way in the dream-like island of Koholint. Out 2019 for Switch.

New Platinum Game Features Future Cops Tag-Teaming Mutants

Supervised by Hideki “I Made Devil May Cry Dammit” Kamiya and directed by Takahisa Taura (for the combat side of NieR: Automata) comes this futuristic tag-team action game. It seems you can have one player control a cop together with an AI-driven cop, or even have players play co-op together. You can also ride on your police robot dog and even wear an anime mecha battlesuit thing for certain action segments.

You also dress up in a police mascot suit to pick up trash in the street. Because Platinum Games still has a sense of humor about these things. Out 30 August; which means Bayonetta 3 may be pushed back for this game, possibly for next year.

Super Mario Maker 2 For Nintendo Switch
