Rounding Up Yesterday’s Nintendo Direct
Posted on January 25 2013 by Colin McIsaac
Yesterday was a huge day to be a fan of Nintendo; some of us are still recovering from awe-induced paralysis. With news on titles like Bayonetta 2 and Super Smash Bros. 4, just to name a few, the Wii U’s lineup in the coming year is stronger than we had ever anticipated. That’s not even counting the new game from Retro Studios or even Miyamoto’s new IP. And of course, we love to see another classic Zelda title getting the remake treatment.
We understand that it was hard to keep up with all the news coming so quickly en masse, so we’ve embedded yesterday’s Nintendo Direct boradcast above. But if you’d like to save some time, we’ve also compiled one easily-navigated list of all the announcements from yesterday’s stream of information.
