Welcome to Bowser’s reign at Nintendo! Well… not that Bowser, but Doug Bowser. Doug Bowser, new Nintendo of America’s president was given his first shot at the Nintendo direct and he did not disappoint. Willing to take on a gag as well as, him as well as Deputy General Manager Yoshiaki Koizumi and General Manager Shinya Takahashi of Nintendo Ltd. showed off the future of Nintendo for the next year. Boy, did they ever show off. Tons of 3rd party games from No More Heros to Dauntless and Trails of Mana and a good showing of 1st party games including Luigi’s Mansion 3 and Astral Chain easily showed why you should get a Switch. While Animal Crossing: New Horizon got delayed, and there’s a sequel to Legend of Zelda: Breath of the wild, there’s plenty of gaming to keep people busy.
