To believe the YouTube comments of this Nintendo Direct, there was almost a popular uprising.
Nothing on the Switch Pro,
Animal Crossing
or
Pokémon
, and Internet users were ready to walk on the Bastille.
Fortunately, Nintendo had saved the best for the end of its presentation of E3 2021, with the first real trailer for the sequel to
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
, expected in 2022. The Japanese manufacturer is also playing the card of nostalgia, with the release of a
Game and Watch
electronic game
bringing together the first three Zeldas for the series' 35th anniversary.
And in the absence of
Metroid Prime 4
, we discovered a
Metroid Dread
in old-fashioned 2D.
Link takes to the skies in Breath of the Wild sequel

We thought he was going to do it again last February with a new
Skyward Sword HD
video
.
But no, Eiji Aonuma has unveiled the first trailer with gameplay for the sequel to
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
.
Which therefore still has no name, but at least an exit horizon, in 2022. Link in free fall, descent in a kite, islands and Hyrule castle floating in the sky ... This episode takes shape height for increased freedom.
Metroid Dread, homecoming (trailer here)
The Arlesienne
Metroid Prime 4 -
announced in 2017 and whose development resumed from zero in 2019 - continues.
But to wait, Nintendo has in its boxes
Metroid Dread
, which is the first 2D episode in 19 years.
It blasts all the time and arrives on October 8.
A Game & Watch Zelda for the 35th anniversary of the series
Pay your old age.
For the 35th anniversary of the series, Nintendo is releasing a Game & Watch (the ancestor of portable consoles).
We find the original game,
The Legend of Zelda
, released in 1986, then its very divisive sequel with its platform phases,
The Adventure of Link
, and the episode Game Boy
Link's Awakening
.
Released on November 12.
The rest:
Co-
op
Warioware
,
Shin Megami Tensei V
and portages
Launched four years ago, the Switch will once again have a line-up aimed at a large audience. Kazuya, from
Tekken
, joins
Super Smash Bros Ultimate
. We can experience the crazy micro-games of
WarioWare: Get it Together
in co-op or knock out monsters in the
Doom Eternal's Ancient Gods
DLC
. The RPG
Shin Megami Tensei V
features a tantalizing combat system by recruiting and fusing monsters. And speaking of bestiary, trainers will have a blast with
Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin
. Finally, the Switch will welcome with a little delay the ports of
Tony Hawk Pro Skater
1 and 2 and
Life is Strange Remastered Collection
but also the next episode
Life is Strange: True Colors
.
Enough to wait until 2022, with the sequel to
Zelda
, the next
Splatoon
, and, perhaps, the Switch Pro.
