The sad truth is that they'll do what they've been doing post-Dark Dawn: Release the Mario Sports titles and then disappear until the next console comes out to release them all over again. The Switch has been out for four and a half years now. They could easily ride out the rest of its lifespan...

Really glad it was Sora and not some 3rd party edgy first person shooter character like many were predicting. It was never going to be Isaac. Sad, but true. I'm really happy with Sora. He has been one of my most wanted characters since the mid 2000s, but I haven't talked about him much because...

I've wanted Sora since the mid 2000s when I got into KH. This is a joyous day after a mostly mediocre offering for DLC characters. Really excited when I have money to spend again.

They just revived Advance Wars. Holy crap.

People complain about anime swordsman a lot, but where's the complaint for bulky fighting fist men? Seriously, it's the most boring class of character.

I have practically never been less hyped for a Nintendo E3. Golden Sun is off the table. Isaac in Smash is off the table. A classic style Paper Mario is off the table. etc., etc. I'm very much looking forward to BOTW2 and Pokemon Legends: Arceus so it's not like I don't have any big games I'm...

I'm mixed on third party characters. I feel like having characters like Sonic and Megaman that have a history with Nintendo was great. But then when they started adding characters like Cloud I was like "Wait". Cloud's game was emblematic of Final Fantasy's move away from the Nintendo systems to...

Okay, and get this, there hadn't been a Mario Golf console release since Toadstool Tour in 2003. This is how screwed we are. They decided to bring that to the console for the first time in almost two decades instead of Golden Sun.

Camelot's logo was not there, but I'm not staking hope on that. I'm sure it'll be revealed to be Camelot later.

Yup, that's... about what I expected. What a shame. Golden Sun is done.

When Golden Sun and The Lost Age came to the Wii U virtual console it was a great thing, it opens up the opportunity for so many more people to easily play the games. Making the games available through NSO would open the doors to an even wider audience and that is always a great thing. But...

If a Golden Sun is in the future and is planned for later in the year, that doesn't necessarily exclude it from being shown here. Nintendo always teases a project or two from beyond the timeframe they give. Then the question becomes what criteria decides what they decide to tease early and what...

We've been waiting for this Direct for nearly a year and a half. It is hard to believe it is actually real. Lol. I'm super nervous because I know that Mario Golf could be - and is arguably likely to be - announced here. Lets hope we get Golden Sun instead, but... I've been at this for too long...

Is the "mid-year announcement" blitz even a thing anymore? It just feels like we're really left in the dark about when things will be announced nowadays. Sure, I still expect Pokemon announcements at the beginning of the year, and a Super Smash Bros character reveal every once in a while, but...

Last night I had a dream where there was a Nintendo Direct and a Super Smash Bros portion started and it began showing Ivan and what looked like a Golden Sun battle and I began tearing up and going "OMG OMG OMG" and Isaac showed up. But then that portion ended without revealing anyone as a...
