Nintendo Direct: The Legend of Zelda, FF7 and Super Smash Bros, Star Fox Zero and more
The Legend of Zelda, Super Smash Bros., Star Fox and loads more from today's Nintendo Direct.
Today delivered the first Nintendo Direct since May. Although the platform holder has been in touch in the interim, notably at E3 2015, it's been uncharacteristically silent for the past few months - perhaps due to the death of much-mourned CEO Satoru Iwata, who championed speaking directly to fans.
Catch up below.
The North American presentation kicked off with an acknowledgment from NoA president Reggie Fils-Aime on the passing of Iwata; he thanked fans for all their support and kind messages.
