Nintendo Direct 2017.04.12 A special update for today. Nintendo just had another one of their Nintendo Directs and it's their first after the Switch launch so that means there's no need to keep their new games hiding in the wings for fear of distracting consumers. Here's a few of the highlights for me. A new Monster Hunter game that is a turn-based style RPG, Monster Hunter Stories The final 3 Amiibos for Super Smash Bros. also happen to be my 3 favorite... and there's 2 versions for each.
