Nintendo held its first full-length Direct in nearly two years today, and it was chock-full of smaller announcements and some neat surprises.

There was still no news about The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2, nor the new Metroid game Nintendo teased forever ago, but we did get our first look at Splatoon 3, a new Mario Golf, and a bunch of other stuff.

Here’s a quick rundown of all of it:

The Legendary Blade will be able to fight as Mythra too, and the platform fighter will be getting a level and music from the Switch JRPG as well. Who had that on their Smash bingo card?

Neon White is a new multiplayer arena game from the maker of Donut County.

It reminds me of if you turned Paradise Killer into a team-based shooter, and it’s slated to come to Switch next winter.

A bunch of “collaboration items” from the Mario universe including outfits, obstacles, and enemies will get added to the sim in an upcoming update on March 1.

Project Triangle Strategy is a new tactical RPG with another ridiculous name from Square Enix.

It looks like Octopath Traveler and Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together had a baby and I need it injected directly into my veins (the game, not the baby). A demo goes live on the eShop today.

Skyward Sword will get a second chance on Switch.

First released at the end of the Wii’s life, an HD port of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword will finally give you the option of forgoing motion controls to play the game with a standard controller. It’s out July 16.

Nintendo announced Splatoon 3.

It looks a lot like more Splatoon, but prettier, though some of the trailer reveal makes it seem like it might build out the world inbetween matches a lot more. Time will tell.
