Darn, I was tired from my day and napped through the time when the Nintendo Direct was scheduled to be broadcast live; guess I’d better catch up on it now… I’m still going to do a live reactions thread, even though it’s after-the-fact now… will be ignoring notifs until done
-
uh… what time do I have to scroll ahead to for the actual start? youtube.com/watch?v=EhDFA_O7zNg
-
ok looks like the actual start is at 29 minutes in
-
…more FE3H?
-
oh no, it’s a Warriors spinoff for it
-
Three Hopes : Three Houses :: Age of Calamity : Breath of the Wild
-
I guess since FE3H already ran on the Warriors engine, development ought to have been easy enough…
-
NO EDELGARD DID NOT JUST BEAT UP JUDITH! UNFORGIVEABLE!
-
more Advance Wars news, nice… wonder who the VAs are…
-
Heh, No Man’s Sky coming to Switch; I knew someone who was pretty hyped for its original release, which I hear was a letdown… it was supposed to have improved a lot since release though, so I guess we’re getting the improved version?
-
(one advantage to having missed the live broadcast of this Direct is that I can allow myself to pause)
-
Nice, new Mario Strikers… not much of a sports person myself, but I bet people are happy about this
-
Did they confirm NextLevel Games is developing? I’m assuming they would, since Nintendo bought them, but, well, you know what they say about assuming…
-
ok so here’s the Splatoon 3 part
-
so, more Salmon Run… still no news of a “Creative Mode” for it yet, though…
-
huh, Front Mission remake; interesting…
-
so, both a Final Fantasy (Chocobo) kart racer, and a Disney/Pixar kart racer… why not just combine them into a single Kingdom Hearts kart racer?
-
Ah, a port of The Force Unleashed, interesting; I had been interested in that on Wii but never got it…
-
Assassin’s Creed collection… lots of ports of games from a decade ago! (I’m not necessarily complaining, tbc; I think it’s cool to have all these options for things to play available, even if I’ll never get to the majority of them)
-
so, first Front Mission, and now a Gundam game… trend of mech games leading up to a new XCX port/sequel?
-
Chrono Cross remaster, interesting; I liked Chrono Trigger when I played it on DS, but heard that Cross kinda stepped all over its plot? Heard its soundtrack is good at least, though…
-
wait… they managed to recover RADICAL DREAMERS from the Satellaview?! Never thought I’d see the day!
-
the new Kirby looks so good….
-
lol “Mouthful Mode” is going to inspire some memes, I can tell
-
yeah Kirby and the Forgotten Land is definitely the game I’m most hyped for from this Direct so far
-
Hm, they’ve got Ohtani speaking Japanese in the trailer for MLB The Show; maybe they *will* actually be giving it a proper Japanese localization after all?
-
Still disappointed the Kingdom Hearts ports are cloud version
-
Klonoa for Switch, nice; I’d been meaning to try the series since the Wii one, but never got around to it
-
Portal ports for Switch… I still have them on my Steam account, but I don’t think Valve ever got around to upgrading the Mac versions to 64-bit, so I haven’t been able to play them ever since macOS dropped 32-bit support…
-
HD2D version of Live-a-Live… on the American stream?! Didn’t the original never get localized or something?
-
There’s some people in some Discord servers I’m in that ought to be pretty excited about it; I’d better check in with them after watching… also, the soundtrack!
-
lol Wii Sports for Switch, except they can’t call it “Wii Sports” anymore, so now it’s “Nintendo Switch Sports”… doesn’t quite roll of the tongue as well!
-
wait wtf have they done with the Miis?!
-
NOOOO THEY RUINED THE CHARM OF MIIS
-
MIIS AREN’T SUPPOSED TO HAVE ACTUAL LIMBS WTF HOW DARE THEY
-
I am pretty mad about this ruining of Miis… seeing Takahashi and Koizumi playing it together is fun though…
-
wait so golf isn’t in the base game, but rather is being added in a later update? The decisions Nintendo has made with this game are baffling
-
More Taiko no Tatsujin… I’m not much of a rhythm game person, but it seems like they have some interesting tracks added in this entry in the series…
-
so yeah Triangle Strategy looks interesting; cool to have a second demo…
-
…there’s an update to make Metroid Dread even HARDER?! wtf I couldn’t even handle the regular difficulty… oh well, at least they’re adding a rookie mode to make it easier, too; hopefully I can switch my existing save to that… (never got past Kraid)
-
ok let’s see where they’re going with these Earthbound trailers…
-
…so… an entire trailer just for the two previously-localized Earthbound games being added to NSO? That’s all? I still have Earthbound on Wii U Virtual Console…
-
sizzle real of games going by too fast to comment on
-
even MORE DLC for MK8D?! er actually I guess all the stuff that was DLC for the Wii U version of MK8 was in the base game of MK8D, so I guess that actually makes it the first DLC for the Switch version…
-
holy cow this game is going to have so many courses available
-
…is this a new Xenoblade?!
-
XENOBLADE 3! HYPE!
-
interesting to see them crossing over 1 and 2
-
so yeah that was mostly a good Direct! Except for how they ruined Miis…
