Pikmin 1, 2 and 4
There was also something new about Pikmin 4, namely a new trailer that shows us night missions for the first time, among other things. And because Pikmin is so cute, Nintendo brought the first two parts to the eShop as switch ports as a shadow drop.
Princess Peach & Luigi’s Mansion
Nintendo has a game in the making about Princess Peach, but only mentioned it and hasn’t shown anything worth mentioning – the game doesn’t even have a title yet. Nintendo is also working on a remaster of the 3DS title Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon. Both are due out next year.
