The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom will finally let you play as Zelda herself

Did you think Nintendo would simply only release remakes and second-tier games until the Switch's successor finally comes along? Guess again. During Tuesday's Nintendo Direct stream, the company revealed a brand-new Legend of Zelda game. Nintendo is making many fans' long-held dreams come true here, as you'll get to play as Zelda herself in a Legend of Zelda title (as opposed to something like Super Smash Bros. Ultimate).The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom opens where most Zelda games finish, with Link defeating Ganon. But just as he frees Princess Zelda, our usual hero is sucked through a rift into…

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond lands on Switch in 2025

After 18 years and a complete reboot, Samus Aran will return in Metroid Prime 4: Beyond next year, Nintendo announced today. The company also gave us our first glimpse at the game, which sees Samus duking it out with alien hordes on distant planet.

The teaser ends with the reveal of a new big bad (wearing a suit like Samus's), flanked by two floating metroids.It's hard to read too much into…

Donkey Kong Country Returns, originally released for the Wii in 2010, is coming to the Switch

stp2y0 CommentsNews, , , , ,
It's been about a decade since Nintendo released a new game in the Donkey Kong Country series — and while there isn't a new one coming any time soon, there is a port of one you may have missed on its way. Donkey Kong Country Returns, originally released for the Wii in 2010, is hitting the Switch on January 15, 2025. It was a fine game for its time, and I'm hopeful it'll hold up well some 15 years later. At the very least, the controls should be simpler, as Nintendo won't be forcing motion controls into the mix with…
