[Aetheri]

No Man's Sky, Strikers, Portal, and MUTH****ING XENOBLADE CHRONICLES 3!!!! LET'S FRIKKING GOOO!!!

 

[TheMightyP]

It was aight

I know there’s stuff in here that’ll make some people go nuts, but for me?

Eh

It was aight

Tfw no DK.

But I do agree, it was alright.

 

[skylanders fan]

Good direct fire emblem was a nice surprise kinda surprised no Zelda teaser

 

[MooMew64]

Eh

It was aight

I know there’s stuff in here that’ll make some people go nuts, but for me?

Eh

It was aight

it was 100% a Direct for weebs

I lost my mind

 

[Golden Icarus]

Bruh 48 new tracks!?

I was hoping for MK9, but paying $25 for that much DLC is great!

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Tfw no DK.

But I do agree, it was alright.

Im scared for Taiko because they didnt give a price that these extra songs are locked behund. I want to buy it but I'm not willing to buy a paid subscription for it so I hope those 500 songs can be unlocked throughout the game

 

[Noipoi]

Tfw no DK.

But I do agree, it was alright.

Monkeys or no monkeys, it didn’t show me that much that got me excited.

I’m happy to have a new Splat and Kirby trailer, of course. But they weren’t crazy trailers, just nice little updates.

I’m not mad or anything. Just neutral.

 

[TheMightyP]

Also, where the hell is Marina Splatoon 3? Is she alright? Is sje getting proper sleep and nutrients? Is she still beautiful?

C'mon Nintendo, I gotta know before I buy Splat3

 

[ZephyrZ]

Car Kirby is cursed and I hate it give me that game right now.

Also Dragon Kirby! Dragon Kirby!

 

[Hydreigonfan01]

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 was therefore announced, so this is clearly one of the best Directs.

 

[Noipoi]

it was 100% a Direct for weebs

I lost my mind

Damn, that’s why I didn’t like it.

I’m a normal human being.

/s

 

[Þe 1 → Way]

Earthbound and Portal ports, this was a great direct. Plus Dread is getting a Boss Rush. 10/10

 

[Lamperouge]

so we basically getting enough new content to make a new MK

sick

also Lamperouge are u ok rn

I'm a little bothered by some of the English cast being blatantly recycled from XC2 but I'm extremely stocked otherwise! Can't wait to see just how much the two games are tied together to this one.

And visually it looks quite nice. Excited to hear the music, too.

 

[TheMightyP]

Earthbound is a pretty good game, I can confirm that.

I will say, I am interested in Xenoblade 3, qbich is odd because 2 never garned my interest and 3 is a sequel to that.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Seeing the existence of the word subscription means that I have to keep paying and i dont have the money for that. I just wish they would have given a price for this subscription for Taiko

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

I was NOT prepared for Portal and Portal 2 coming to the Switch. The Portal franchise is absolutely one of my favorites, so... you bet I popped off. And I recorded my reaction.

 

[Metal Shop X]

KLONOA LIVE, KLONOA LIVE.

also WTF IS THIS XB3 Jnjsjkncdkjcjndvjnv jnv jcn bjchbjbhdjhdjh Lamperouge , you bet your ass i'm gonna rewatch it.







Also uh, Portal collection is nice, but I already bought & played both games on Steam, so uh F on that part.

Chrono Cross's really cool too.

Overall, pretyy freakin' good for me.

 

[Z25]

Pretty solid direct. Mario Strikers being back is pretty hype and looked good.

Love seeing Metroid get more representation.

48 new Mario Kart tracks is also awesome but it’s disappointing there’s seemingly no characters. Both sides of it where feeling a little old now, so getting new characters would really add to keeping it fresh online.

 

[MooMew64]

Earthbound is a pretty good game, I can confirm that.

I will say, I am interested in Xenoblade 3, qbich is odd because 2 never garned my interest and 3 is a sequel to that.

having actually good character design does wonders

 

[Wario Bros.]

• Thought the Mario Strikers series was done. Love the artstyle. Very likely picking it up.
• Might try the Klonoa collection.
• Now we only have to wait 84 more years for Mother 3.
• New Kirby mechanic is so adorable. Got me more interested in this game.
• Why did we have to watch two dudes playing a match of volleyball?
• Cool Metroid Dread update.
• HOLY ****ING ****! 48 MORE TRACKS??? looks like I finally have a reason to pick up Mario Kart 8 Deluxe now.
• No Mario movie? Oh well, I can wait some more.

Pretty good Direct 7.5/10

 

[GilTheGreat19]

Bro
Mario Strikers
Portal Collection
Kirby 3D
MK8D DLC Tracks (FROM TOUR TOO)

W direct for me

 

[MooMew64]

Switch Sports tho yessssssssssss

 

[TheCJBrine]

Never played Strikers but was curious and this looks good too so may get it. Will likely play the originals too, in a totally legitimate way using Dolphin. Hopefully new Super Sluggers at some point too.

Carby etc. and evolving abilities made the new Kirby game even more exciting than it already was.

EARTHBOUNDDDDDDDDD.

Miis got new bodies. where's Matt though.

yo it's that namco rabbit-cat some people on this site loved, was curious so may get his games too.

haha funny sans skeleton song in living drum game.

Metroid Dread but you can actually feel the dread (and the rage).

Portal on Switch is a triumph!

haven't played Live A Live but it looks interesting.

coconut mall.

also again EARTHBOUNDDDDDDDDDDD.

edit: forgot to mention Splatoon World War 3.

 

[DanganZilla5]

Krby
Klonoa
Mario Kart - 48 new tracks!!
Xenoblade 3

I'm teary-eyed. 10/10 direct.

 

[dezeray112]

Overall, a pretty good Nintendo Direct that had a number of good reveals from the new Mario strikers game, Disney Speedstorm and Xenoblade 3.

 

[Zinith]

So after all that, my only statement is...

lol good luck with that No Man's Sky port

 

[Metal Shop X]

ALSO DID NIA & MAYBE MELIA TURNED ****ING EVIL WHAT THE ****ING ****?!?!?!

 

[Schnee117]

Strikers and Kart DLC were all that grabbed me
Earthbound on NSO at last is cool too

otherwise a resounding "mid"

 

[Mamboo07]

Seeing Kirby swallowing an entire car is so funny and cursed.

 

[ZephyrZ]

I'm kind of interested in those tactical RPGs.

Triangle Strategy looks fun but that mech game remake really has my interest for some reason. Maybe its my old Mech Quest nostalgia.

 

[cashregister9]

Let's See the Bingo first

Almost a bingo!

(The white dots are things I almost got right)

On to my actual thoughts
-FE Warriors was a ****in' banger and I'm happy for a sequel
-MARIO STRIKERS HOLY ****
-Portal Ports!!! Half-life next
-I can finally try Live a Live
-Kirby and Splatoon look great
-That Disney Kart Racer looks Legit
-Finally a Localized Taiko no tatsujin and a Gundam game
-Switch Sports looks fun, It obviously doesn't live up to resort which is a bit disappointing and the mii replacements suck but the mii heads exist so it is a non issue
-MARIO KART HELL YEAH 48 tracks is nothing to sneeze at and MK Tour has fantastic tracks
-XENOBLADE 3

Banger Direct

 

[Speed Weed]

What the **** did they do to the Miis

 

[AreJay25]

Hello. I am alive. I am here to give opinions.

Ahem.

Mario Strikers coming back is pretty sweet. Kirby and the Forgotten Land continues to look great. MK8 getting new tracks before MK9 is even a thing is... weird but I'll take it. Xenoblade 3 getting announced is cool.

... BUT KLONOA IS FINALLY ON MODERN CONSOLES NOW. AFTER 14 YEARS I CAN FINALLY SHOUT "WAHOO" IN CELEBRATION. GOD DAMMIT NAMCO NEVER PUT ME THROUGH THIS PAIN AGAIN.

 

[Hydreigonfan01]

That's it? No Smash?

 

[Z25]

Also, where the hell is Marina Splatoon 3? Is she alright? Is sje getting proper sleep and nutrients? Is she still beautiful?

C'mon Nintendo, I gotta know before I buy Splat3

She’s probably the “villain” like how the first games splat fest mattered for the plot in the sequel. That or she’s leading an underground rebellion.

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

ALSO DID NIA & MAYBE MELIA TURNED *ING EVIL WHAT THE ****ING *?!?!?!

Wait, did I miss that?!
