Here’s your roundup for today’s Nintendo Direct!
First up is Twilight Princess HD. Not exactly a surprise, but I’m glad to see it announced. The graphics only look slightly better, but TP was a pretty gorgeous game to stary with, so that’s fine! The game will also support the Zelda character amiibos, as well as a Wolf Link one, which comes with the game in a bundle. If you pre-order, you get a soundtrack. It releases March 4th next year. Wii U Zelda was also confirmed for next year, with Wolf Link data support confirmed.
A new, free update to TriForce Heroes was announced, with two new outfits and a challenge mode.
Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon is releasing Nov. 20th, and I completely forgot about that. Every single known Pokemon are in this game, which is pretty interesting now that there’s over 700 now. You get a theme download if you buy it, hooray.
New Splatoon content, new maps and weapons as expected. The update will be up later tonight! The Treehouse will have a livestreamed tournament in December.
Super Mario Maker will be getting a “portal site” through the tablet, which lets you search for specific types of stages. It works way better than the current search, but it should be in-game! It’ll launch in Dec.
Animal Crossing: Amiibo Party is happening still, and they confirmed a few new stages and characters. amiibo cards will work with this game. The game launches Nov. 13th.

Xenoblade Chronicles X will drop on Dec. 4th, and it looks gorgeous. You can download “speed” packs, to let the game load faster if you buy the disc.
Pokemon Picross is a free to play game, which works as you’d expect. It comes out in December, and you can pay to make puzzles easier.
Pokken Tournament will be releasing in the US in Spring. amiibo cards will be released for the game, such as a Shadow Mewtwo card, which automatically unlocks Shadow Mewtwo.
