E3 2021 is coming to a close, but it wouldn't be a proper E3 without a Nintendo Direct. Today's Nintendo Direct will cover all the Switch's big releases throughout 2021 and early 2022. The Nintendo Switch continues to light up sales charts and has maintained a steady string of excellent game releases since its launch. Just this year alone, we've already received big exclusives like Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury, Monster Hunter Rise, and New Pokemon Snap, and we expect the rest of the year to be just as packed. Here's everything announced during the Nintendo E3 2021 Direct.
