It looks like the rumors were true, and the newest Nintendo Direct presentation has just been unleashed upon the world. Though the video clocks in at just over 14 minutes, this “Nintendo Direct Mini” still features a treasure trove of new announcements for the Switch.
Hyrule Warriors was one of my favorite games on the Wii U, and it was later expanded with a ton of downloadable content, and then re-released on the 3DS with even more characters. Today, Nintendo confirmed that the complete Hyrule Warriors experience (“every map and mission, plus all 29 playable characters, along with all of the previous paid downloadable content”) will be released for the Switch this Spring:
A new, ultimate version of the exhilarating action game set in the Zelda universe will include every map and mission, plus all 29 playable characters from both the Wii U and Nintendo 3DS versions of the game, along with all of the previous paid downloadable content. Play as Link, Zelda, Midna, Skull Kid and dozens more in action-packed battles at home or on the go.
The Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition will also include improved graphics, a two-player splitscreen mode (even in Tabletop Mode), and new outfits for Link and Zelda from Breath of the Wild.
