Nintendo Direct: September 2016

Over the weekend, Nintendo released their Nintendo Direct, a video containing new announcements and details of things to come from the company. While many were expecting more details on their upcoming console, the tentatively named "Nintendo NX", there were a lot of surprising announcements for their current handheld console: The 3DS.

Of course there was some more information about the new Pokemon Sun and Moon games coming out later this year. A new Mario Party game was announced. A new Picross game, and a few other digital games that will be available in the future. However, some of the more impressive announcements were the ports of some Wii U games to the 3DS.

Titles like Super Mario Maker, Yoshi's Wooly World, and Pikmin. All of these games are available on the Wii U, but now they're available on the go. These aren't special editions, but rather, direct ports of these titles of Nintendo's console.

While I have a 3DS, I don't play it nearly enough. There are tons of great games out there for the handheld, and it looks like Nintendo is doing what they can to ensure that 3DS owners are getting the most out of their console. Having direct ports of Wii U games is great, because not everyone owns both a 3DS and a Wii U. Good on you, Nintendo.
