Scroll down for everything announced at theNintendo Directtoday with a blow-by-blow of how it all played out.
What time is the Nintendo Direct?
Let’s start by recapping what Xbox said about bringing games to other platforms last week.
Just four games, not a change to our fundamental exclusive strategy.
We’re making this decision for some specific reasons."
“We make every decision with the long-term health of Xbox in mind.
And we want to be a great platform for creators that are trying to realize that potential.”
We’ve not actually had a specific Partner Direct since June 2022, which was another 25-minute long affair.
So we’re around 15 minutes away now.
