After gently teasing fans all week , Nintendo suddenly threw up a bevy of Nintendo Switch announcements via a "Nintendo Direct Mini" video presentation this morning . Nintendo and Japanese third-party partners seem eager to provide the millions of Switch owners out there with quickly available, prepackaged content in the form of ports of games from older consoles (the kind we've been wondering about for months ).

The 14-minute trailer-packed video is filled with new footage and information, but we've condensed the important news down below if you can't watch right now:

Ports

Dark Souls Remastered : No gameplay details were provided for this one, but given the title, it'll surely be a graphically touched-up version of From Software's hard-as-nails, 2011 dungeon crawler. Release date is set for May 25, and PS4, XB1 and PC versions will also be available.
