The Switch 2 Direct opened with more details on the new Mario Kart game that was first teased back in January. Mario Kart World will be a launch title (June 5) on Switch 2.

Nintendo is already making good use of the Nintendo Today! app they released yesterday. They have confirmed a release date for the upcoming live action Zelda movie. It'll come to the silver screen in two years on March 26, 2027. There was no further footage or details about the film shown, so we'll have to wait a little longer to no much about it.

Perhaps the biggest surprise in today's Nintendo Direct was the announcement of a new Tomodachi Life game. Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream is a follow up to the cult classic Tomodachi Life on 3DS.
