Happy @E3 everyone! I’ll be livetweeting the Nintendo Direct today, which starts in a few minutes. It’s streaming here: youtube.com/watch?v=IQz_ECTGGyA
-
Didn’t they used to have music playing on their streams before they started in the past? Seems silent to me this time…
-
…ok… time to start?
-
ah here we are
-
this looks like a Smash character reveal trailer
-
oh, someone I haven’t heard of… is this guy from Virtua Fighter? Tekken? Or something else?
-
ok yeah it’s Tekken
-
lol Kirby
-
ok yeah we get it he has moves; this is an everything direct, not just a smash direct… show us other stuff!
-
oh hey Life is Strange, I’ve heard that’s good… I’ll add it to my list
-
I’ve been meaning to get into the Worms series at some point; haven’t done so yet, though…
-
this reel is going a bit quickly
-
Super Monkey Ball; another series I’ve meant to get into, but haven’t yet… at least, not beyond various demos…
-
new Mario Party; good that there’s online, but idk, I’m still not really interested in a Mario Party unless I’ve got people to play in-person with…
-
Metroid 5?! The numbering of this series confuses me…
-
omg DREAD is real!
-
is this the one we’ve been getting teasers for since the Wii/DS era?
-
looks kinda like Other M… I don’t mean that as an insult, btw! The main problems with Other M were story things that wouldn’t show in a trailer like this…
-
but yeah gameplay for Metroid Dread looks fine; I’m looking forward to it!
-
oh wait the new Mario Golf hasn’t actually launched yet? Oops, lol…
-
Some friends told me just to wait for MH Stories 2 instead of picking the 3DS version up; I dunno, though…
-
new WarioWare! How about a new WarioLand now?
-
new SMT?
-
yeah this is SMTV… idk, I’d still kinda prefer a Persona 5 port for Switch, though…
-
oh hey Danganronpa! @CJluvsMJ27 will be happy about this!
-
is this the Fatal Frame that was on Wii U?
-
but yeah I’m not much of a horror person, but cool for those who are into that!
-
Tony Hawk games were so big when I was a kid; this port should be cool for people with nostalgia for it
-
there are too many games; I need more time, money, and storage space…
-
new Advance Wars!
-
or actually wait, this is just an HD port of the original? I got the original via Wii U VC but never finished it…
-
oh it’s both the original and its sequel; I didn’t get the second one…
-
closing with Age of Calamity DLC? idk, I already bought this; was kinda hoping for something more…
-
instead of BotW II news, they show us Skyward Sword HD again… meh…
-
hey they remembered Zelda’s 35th Anniversary! Well, kinda…
-
all right NOW we get to BotW II! Finally!
-
uh
-
BotW meets Skyward Sword?
-
AaAaAgh I wish they’d shown more…
-
so yeah, highlights of the stream for me were: - Metroid Dread - Danganronpa - new Breath of the Wild trailer
-
oh right I forgot to leave my stream open for Treehouse Live afterwards; reopening it now…
-
Metroid Dread on Treehouse Live now; takes place after Fusion apparently
-
Temporary powerups? Well at least they seem to be gained in a normal fashion, rather than requiring authorization from Adam or whatever…
-
water mechanic looked nice
-
E.M.M.I. things kinda remind me of the Phantoms from Phantom Hourglass, what with their whole chasing thing
-
and their insta-kill mechanic
-
hm is the “respawn in previous room” mechanic just when an E.M.M.I. kills you, or for deaths in general? i.e., are there still save rooms?
-
since I missed the start of this portion… anyone know who the other 2 presenters besides @audreydrakerigg are?
-
ok looks like the Omega Beam is the only temporary thing; Charge Beam appears to be permanent like usual
-
ok that’s it for Metroid Dread; Mario Party Superstars will be next
-
I think the only presenter I recognize in this portion is @Rheiret? Dunno who Brandon, Kay, and Rhiona are…
-
so yup, this looks like Mario Party
-
I would probably buy a lot more Mario Party games if I had a group as fun as the Treehouse gang to play it with
-
next is MH Stories 2
-
.@JCRodrigo_ @EditingEntropy and Ethan (recognize him but forget his handle) are presenting this portion
-
yeah this looks a lot like the previous MH Stories (from what I played of its demo)
-
combat still looks like the same basic rock-paper-scissors system as the first one
-
dang this Pukei-Pukei fight is taking awhile
-
one of my main complaints with the Monster Hunter series (both mainline and Stories) is how long the battles take; that’s (part of) why I’ve never upgraded from a demo to the full version of one yet…
-
cutscene looks nice
-
well I’ll give the demo a try at least
-
Mario Golf Super Rush is next
-
I haven’t really been interested in Mario Sports titles lately, but this golf entry looks like it might do the trick
-
then again maybe not; I dunno
-
as my ADHD worsens with age, I… wait this adventure/RPG mode has recaptured my interest
-
ah ok I see a “Fast-Forward” button on the screen that they’re not using; I’d probably rely on that a lot if I were playing myself
-
oh hey it’s this bird; I think I’ve seen it in something before
-
cool-looking boss fight!
-
lol they keep running past their golf balls by accident
-
SMTV up next
-
hm, the interface (and text in general) is still in Japanese; guess the localization is still a work in process…
-
love the hair physics on the main character
-
good to see this trope holds: tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TalkingIsAFreeAction
-
oh dang this rock enemy looks like Xenoblade levels of giant unique monster that’ll kill you
-
why are they even acting like they have a chance against this guy?
-
lol, ending with a “Game Over”… perfect
-
Advance Wars up next
-
If they’re starting with the first mission, well, I guess that means they’ll be sticking with parts I’ve already played in the original, then… (I forget how far exactly I got, but it was farther than this)
-
#PutWesnothOnSwitch
-
Having an option to speed up animations is good; more people need to know that Wesnoth has that option, too
-
are these CO animations Live2D?
-
I think this mission against Eagle might actually be the one I gave up on in the original… D is a better player than I am, though…
-
WarioWare up next
-
so yeah the character/stage combo system seems interesting
-
WAH!
-
more Metroid Dread next
-
spider-magnet! Climbable walls!
-
oh dang this boss’s tail moves fast
-
these transitions between cutscene and gameplay are so smooth
-
oof they died again
-
dang these E.M.M.I. foes are brutal
-
ok I think that’s it for today
