Nintendo announced a lot of content during this morning Nintendo Direct and while I covered all the big stuff already, there is still a lot more to cover, so here is the rest of the news.

With Affordable Space Adventures the Wii U GamePad transforms into the cockpit display of a stealth spacecraft in this Wii U exclusive. On a hostile planet, players need to carefully manage all of the ship’s systems to avoid danger and slip by monsters unnoticed. Players can fly solo or work together in local multiplayer as a crew of two or three players, each with their own specific responsibilities. Affordable Space Adventures is available from Nintendo eShop for Wii U from 10th April.




Next up is Swords & Soldiers 2 coming exclusively to Nintendo eShop for Wii U on 22nd May, this side-scrolling strategy and action game is the sequel to the award-winning WiiWare title. Build structures and create an army to overpower the enemy on a 2D battleground. With touch screen controls it only takes a quick tap to heal your units, cast lightning bolts and unleash meteor strikes!




For Nintendo 3DS we have Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer, this new spin-off title in the Animal Crossing series focuses on the decorating and home-designing aspects of the Animal Crossing games. Animals will ask players to design houses for them, and it’s up to designers-in-the-making to meet the animals’ requests by furnishing and decorating their homes. By scanning a new Animal Crossing series amiibo card to a New Nintendo 3DS system or NFC reader/writer accessory, players can design a room for that specific character on the card and scan additional cards to invite those characters to visit. Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer will launch this spring.



For anyone without a New Nintendo 3DS or New Nintendo 3DS XL, an adaptor shall be sold that will allow anyone to scan in amiibo and amiibo cards.


The above amiibo card will work on New Nintendo 3DS or 3DSXL along with all 3DS, 3DS XL and 2DS models with the below adaptor.


Nintendo have also announced that the latest Project Zero game will be makings its way out of Japan and into the hands of Wii U gamers worldwide. Players will play as one of three different characters, each with their own storyline as they explore the cursed tourist destination, Mount Hikami. The Wii U GamePad is used as a camera to investigate the environments and soak in the supernatural atmosphere, as well as a means to fend off hostile spirits during quick bursts of chilling action.


Back on Nintendo 3DS, Fire Emblem (working title)will allow for the first time in the series, the main playable character is not only a customisable avatar, but also the main hero or heroine of the game. Players must choose to take one of two major paths, resulting in two different experiences: the “Hoshido” side for a more traditional experience, or the “Nohr” side, which makes the story more complex and the difficulty level more challenging. The new Fire Emblem title will launch for the Nintendo 3DS family of systems in 2016.




There is even more news to share from the direct, so be sure to watch it, which you can do here.
