The most recent Nintendo Direct took place in September 2023. One of the most significant announcements from the event was that Nintendo revealed a remake of Mario vs. Donkey Kong and a remaster of Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door. The last Direct also revealed release windows/dates for Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD and Princess Peach: Showtime!
Nintendo’s February 2024 Direct presentation comes after both Xbox and PlayStation held its own showcases recently. Both provided sneak peeks and updates to games slated to release on its platforms in the coming year.
Many Nintendo fans are surely waiting for any news on the yet-to-be-announced-and-named Nintendo Switch 2, but reports have recently said it has been delayed into the “early months of 2025.”
Nintendo has revealed, however, that the Switch has passed 139.36 million units sold and that its software sales continue to be led by Mario Kart 8 Deluxe’s astonishing 60.58 million units stold.
