HELLO EVERYBODY! Today was the day of the 3DS Direct! So let's get started and see what was announced!
I'll do these games in the order they were spoken about - known games in development are red, released games are blue and new games are magenta. So let's see...
Pokémon Sun and Moon
I don't have a picture or any website info, but the Alola Form of Ratatta was announced! It's a Dark/Normal-type. No information on Ability was given either - that's all I have about it! There'll be a special New 3DS XL released slightly before the game themed on it (won't contain the game.) There will also be a downloadable Munchlax for a while afterwards holding the special Z-Crystal item for Snorlax: the Snorium Z.
Super Mario Maker
You might be thinking, 'Super Mario Maker was released nearly a year ago!' It... was. I forgot the last part. Ahem...
Super Mario Maker for 3DS
...Yep! It'll have all of the items form the Wii U version except the Mystery Mushroom. (Yes, DLC is included. It's to Mario Maker as Hyrule Warriors Legends is to the Wii U original.) The built-in levels are stated to have challenges like defeating all the enemies or collecting all the coins that earn you medals when completed. It will also have tutorials and a collaboration mechanic where two or more people can work on the same stage.
Release: 2 December
Animal Crossing: New Leaf
There will be an update to Animal Crossing: New Leaf coming in the autumn!! It will add amiibo functionality where you can scan an amiibo or amiibo Card to get any villagers on the card to move into your town! ...I thought it might be coming. See, there was this thing about 12 years ago called the e-Reader. It scanned cards to add new features to games. Alas, it was ahead of its time... But one of its things was that you could get any villager to move in on the original Animal Crossing as long as you had the card! So I thought they'd be doing it again - and they are!
Also, there will be an Animal Crossing Direct in the autumn - probably focusing on the Animal Crossing mobile game. (Can't believe I found out about that game on BBC NEWS, of all places!)
Streetpass Mii Plaza
(This isn't really a game. But if it was, it'd be blue.) There will be a Swift Play Plaza added, where everything goes faster - and five new games! Streetpass Slot Racer, Streetpass Trader (sounds boring - stock market!), Streetpass Chef, Streetpass Explorers and Streetpass Ninja will all be added today. Also, you can pick between Streetpass Slot Racer or Streetpass Trader for free! Also, by utilising a 'queue' feature added to Streetpass Mii Plaza Premium, you can have up to 100 Miis waiting!
Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World
Yoshi's Woolly World was released last June - and now it's getting, like Super Mario Maker, a 3DS port! This will have all of the levels from the Wii U, a series of shorts, new levels starring Poochy and will have a Yarn Poochy amiibo released alongside it! It'll come on 3 February 2017.
Misc.
There will be new Mario amiibo releasing alongside Mario Party: Star Rush (7 October) and new Zelda amiibo releasing alongside Super Mario Maker for 3DS on 2 December, having special functionality in Zelda: Breath of the Wild!
Hyrule Warriors Legends will have an update released today - themed around the DS Zeldas (Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks)! Toon Link gets a new weapon - the Sand Rod, and there's even Toon Zelda!
There'll even be a sidescrolling Pikmin game released next year!
Anyway, this was TONS of stuff! So I'll see you on Sunday, for some news about science! Bye for now!
