During today's Nintendo Direct, we got a closer look at more gameplay from Splatoon 3, including glimpses of both multiplayer matches and some of the single-player settings in its "Return of the Mammalians" campaign.

A "Squid Researcher" from Nintendo explained that the Turf War mode remains unchanged at its core, but that new main and special weapons have been introduced – that includes a rolling ball-like mech and a character seemingly turning into ink and whipping themselves through the air with a grapple arm.

Some simple info about the plot of the story mode was shared as well, which will focus on the reappearance of mammals in the Splatoon world, although further details weren't provided at this time.

Splatoon 3 was announced back in February for a 2022 Switch release. Back then, we got a look at Squid Kid customization as well as a companion creature, a big desert metropolis hub city, and a brief look at its ink-splattering competitive gameplay. We're big fans of Splatoon around here, having given Splatoon 1 and 2 an 8.6 and an 8.3 respectively, and named the latter one of the best games on the Nintendo Switch.

Nintendo has announced that Chris Pratt will voice Mario in the upcoming Super Mario Bros. animated movie from Illumination Entertainment.

Along with Pratt, the film's voice cast also includes Anya Taylor-Joy as Peach, Charlie Day as Luigi, Jack Black as Bowser, Keegan-Michael Key as Toad, and Seth Rogen as Donkey Kong. Additionally, Kevin Michael Richardson will voice Kamek, Fred Armisen will voice Cranky Kong, and Sebastian Maniscalco will voice Foreman Spike.

Longtime Mario voice actor Charles Martinet will also have a series of featured cameos in the movie.

The casting announcement came during today's Nintendo Direct, with the company pulling back the curtain for the first time on Universal’s upcoming adaptation of the long-running video game series.

Super Mario Bros. is scheduled to hit theaters on December 21, 2022. The project was originally announced in 2018, with both Illumination CEO Chris Meledandri and Super Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto attached as producers.

Super Mario was previously adapted as a 1993 live-action feature starring Bob Hoskins as Mario and John Leguizamo as Luigi. While the film was both a critical and commercial failure at the time, it has since garnered a cult following as a unique adaptation and '90s artifact. A fanmade extended cut titled "The Morton Jankel Cut" was was shared online in June.

In May, it was reported that Nintendo is also exploring animation projects beyond Super Mario, looking to adapt other properties in its catalog.

For a recap of everything announced at today’s Nintendo Direct, check out our complete rundown here. For more about the Super Mario Bros. movie, read about how the upcoming film will incorporate Maniscalco's Foreman Spike, a character from the NES and arcade game Wrecking Crew.

Correction: This story originally said that the upcoming Super Mario Bros. film is called 'Mario," yet no official title has been released as of this writing. The line about the film's incorrect name has been removed.

Project Triangle Strategy, Square Enix's upcoming tactical RPG, is finally coming to the Nintendo Switch early next year, on March 4, 2022.

During today's Nintendo Direct presentation, it was announced that Square Enix and developer ArtDink have been working on "fine-tuning" the game based on feedback from a survey that went out alongside the game's free demo back in February.

These updates include adjustments to difficulty, improvements to on-screen visuals like the UI, camera controls, the ability to review prior dialogue, and streamlined game flow and loading times.

Project Triangle Strategy was announced earlier this year, and is a turn-based tactical RPG in the same visual style as Octopath Traveler. It follows a story of conflict between three nations and its aftermath, where a group of heroes travel the world and engage in various battles on different terrain, where elevation plays a role in tactics. Choice-based gameplay also impacts the narrative, with decisions hinging on utility, morality, and liberty.

Today's Nintendo Direct had plenty of other exciting announcements, so if you missed it you can catch our full recap of everything shown.
