The first Nintendo Direct Mini: Partner Showcase gave us a taste of some upcoming Switch games Monday morning, and you can find it embedded above. The major reveals were Shin Megami Tensei 5 getting simultaneous worldwide release next year and Shin Megami Tensei 3 Nocturne HD -- an remastered version of the 2003 PS2 game -- coming spring 2021. The latter will also hit PS4, CNET sister site GameSpot noted.

The showcase also revealed that Cadence of Hyrule -- last summer's Crypt of the NecroDancer-The Legend of Zelda mashup -- is getting three pieces of downloadable content (DLC). The character pack adds five new Zelda characters, the melody pack will add 39 songs and the Symphony of the Mask will bring fresh story content featuring Skull Kid from gloriously weird N64 classic Majora's Mask.

The character pack will be available later Monday, and the other two will launch before October. A season pass will also launch on Monday, if you want to go all in on the DLC.

Also showcased were WWE 2K Battlegrounds, a gloriously silly looking wrestling game that'll hit Switch on Sept. 18, and Rogue Company, a team-based, third-person online multiplayer shooter. The latter will feature cross-platform play, and more details will be revealed by the game's Twitter later Monday.
