It’s been more than a Nintendo minute since the company graced us with a Direct announcement of new games, more than a year. On Wednesday, Nintendo announced a suite of games for the first half of 2021.
The Nintendo Direct opened with a big announcement: Pyra and Mythra, the co-protagonists of “Xenoblade 2,” will be joining the ever-growing roster of the fighting game “Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.” Pyra and Mythra are technically one fighter and players can change between them like they can in “Xenoblade 2.”
It’s not surprising; there’s a saying in the games community that there are an overwhelming amount of Smash fighters from JRPGs, for better or worse, often dubbed “anime sword fighters.” Pyra and Mythra will join the game in March.
