Even though Elden Ring won Game of the Year, five Nintendo Switch exclusives managed to take home an award.
The first Nintendo Direct of 2022 was jam packed with surprising revivals, updates, and greatly-anticipated sequels. Mario Strikers, Xenoblade Chronicles 3, Nintendo Switch Sports, and Chrono Cross are just a few to name.
The next mainline installment in the Kirby franchise was previously slated for Spring 2022, but now has an official release date, along with a new trailer.
