Another Nintendo Direct has come and gone. As is often the case, September 2022’s broadcast was overflowing with brilliant video game announcements — about 54 in total, even.
Sure, there’s no topping The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom‘s release date reveal or Goldeneye 007 finally coming back, but the smaller stuff deserves shout-outs too. It’s a lot to take in, especially if someone missed the showcase.
Luckily for you, we’ve put together a list of every game and release date announcement from the September 2022 Nintendo Direct below!
