Nintendo held a Direct livestream on short notice, showing off the upcoming 2020 games for the Nintendo Switch. Along with a lineup of upcoming first party, and third party titles. Nintendo released upcoming content for existing games like Animal Crossing, Smash: Ultimate and Pokemon: Sword and Shield. Nintendo did provide an advisory that due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the release dates for these games may change due to developer restrictions.

Below are just a few of the trailers for games shown during the livestream.
