While players wait for word on Nintendo’s next console, its mobile apps, and the long-anticipated next The Legend of Zelda, the company has unveiled a suite of new games and details on existing ones set to hit the Wii U and 3DS this year.

During its latest Nintendo Direct presentation, Nintendo debuted several new titles, including Paper Mario: Color Smash for the Wii U and Kirby: Planet Robobot for the 3DS. Color Smash returns the Paper Mario franchise to consoles with a trip to Prism Island, where Mario goes smashing around with his paint hammer to return color to the island by splashing paint everywhere.

Planet Robobot puts a mechanized spin on Kirby’s classic gameplay, putting the adorable pink puff into giant robotic mech suits to save his home of Dream Land. The game will also include a four-player Team Kirby Clash mode, and introduce new Kirby amiibo figures, including a new version of Kirby and King Dedede.

The Nintendo Direct also showed off a new game coming alongside Star Fox Zero, Star Fox Guard. Check out more information on this new game here.
