What is out now from the Nintendo Direct
Most Nintendo Directs, or Indie World events, will always drop a game or four, this time though, things were much quieter than normal, will one new release, a few additions to Nintendo Switch Online and a game update, let’s start with the new game.
Revealed last year for Switch, GetsuFumaDen: Undying Moon is a new game from Konami that combines intense Ukiyo-e style roguelike action with a stunning dark fantasy world, brought to life through traditional Japanese art. While death is not the end, the world of Hell lives and breathes, presenting new layouts and challenges to overcome with each attempt.
For old games out today, Nintendo Switch Online members, for any level, can now add Earthbound to the Super Nintendo app and Earthbound Beginnings to the NES app.
Finally, the update for Metroid Dread. Today’s update adds in two new difficulty modes, the Dread mode and the Rookie mode. Getting hit even once causes a game over in the brutal Dread Mode difficulty. And if you’re new to the Metroid series, take advantage of increased recovery with the newly added Rookie Mode difficulty.
A second free update in April will add a Boss Rush mode, in which you’ll battle bosses continuously, one at a time.
