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?!

 

[CannonStreak]

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

I dunno, but I want them for Smash 6 now.

I wonder how that Matt Mii guy from Wii Sports would look in Nintendo Switch Sports?

 

[TheMightyP]

having actually good character design does wonders

They gave me a girl with bit **** and red hair and it didn't move me and inch. Shame on you Monolift.

But legit, I'll see if I can get Xeno1 for cheap. Please port X.


Also, unrelated, but Klonoa actually looks like pretty cute game

 

[TheCJBrine]

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

They're still in the game but they got decapitated and put on new bodies.

Guess I'm in the minority who found it to be kinda underwhelming. So many remakes/remasters or whatever you wanna call them. Was nice at first, but now it feels like there's so many of them coming out. At least Live A Live gets an international release for the first time and Crono Cross actually acknowledges the Sattelaview existed.

Fire Emblem Heroes just doesn't do it for me. I played Hyrule Warriors 1 and that was enough musou for a lifetime for me. Though kinda boring it's another Fire Emblem musou game. We now got two Zelda and two Fire Emblem ones, like at least let me run through the jungle with DK and beat everyone up, would certainly be a nice change of scenary if nothing else.

Kirby's well... Kirby. Hard to do Kirby wrong, unless you make it super slow (64) or baby mode even for Kirby standards (Mouse Attack).

The biggest surprise was certainly Mario Strikers. Didn't expect to see that series being revived, what with Nintendo loving the squaky clean modern Mario. Certainly a pleasent one though

Mario Kart DLC certainly... exists. While it's a lot of tracks, I'd still rank vanilla MK8 DLC higher. Biggest letdown is the lack of new characters and courses, with all of them being remakes. At least the Tour tracks will be new for a lot of people (such a boring game).

And lastly, Xenoblade 3 really came out of nowhere, and has much better character design than whatever that was Xenoblade 2 had. Always wanted to check the series out, but with there now being a third game (+ Xenoblade X) it feels kinda overwhelming at this point.

Maybe I missed something, I was grinding in Arceus, so I wasn't fully focused on the Direct.

Look closely at the women wearing masks.

Look pretty dang familiar, huh?

How do I sign up for the rebellion?

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

I will say Xenoblade Chronicles 3 looks so much better than the potato faced Xenoblade Chronicles 2

Oh you're right! I knew that character gave me familiar vibes, I guess it just never hit me that it was Nia, haha.

 

[Hadokeyblade]

Fire Emblem Warriors 2

yes.

Mario strikers

YES

Klonoa collection

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

 

[Wario Bros.]

Didn't sound like new characters and kart parts will be in the MK8D DLC.

Hope I'm wrong.

 

[Z25]

Nintendo:

 

[Ivander]

Nothing mindblowing, although Strikers getting another game and the Klanoa ports were a surprise. Kirby looks great, Xenoblade 3 looks good, the Metroid Dread free update is cool, Fire Emblem Warriors looks great, the Cuphead DLC looks great, and GetsuFumaDen comes out later today. A overall good Direct.

I'm quite conflicted with the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe DLC though....like 48 remastered tracks from previous Mario Kart games is fantastic, but like....no new characters to go with them? But I certainly don't have any issues with 48 new stages with how fun Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is to begin with.

That said, looking at the DLC focus on Deluxe being previous Mario Kart stages and Mario Kart Tour stages, I'm legitimately wondering if this is adding to the possibility of the next Mario Kart being a "Nintendo-focused" Kart game, and that the focus on previous Mario Kart stages for Deluxe is because there won't be any "Classic" stages for "Nintendo Kart."

 

[Metal Shop X]

Oh you're right! I knew that character gave me familiar vibes, I guess it just never hit me that it was Nia, haha.

I swear if this is them & they did indeed turn evil, then I guess that's warning to not friendzone your super powered girlfriend

 

[Zinith]

Oh, and how long has it been since my boi was in a CG trailer? Thanks Next Level Games (presumably)

 

[Schnee117]

It's not hard to look better than dog**** to be fair

 

[TheMightyP]

Is it slander Xenoblade 2 hours again?

 

[MooMew64]

Is it slander Xenoblade 2 hours again?

it’s always slander Xenoblade 2 hours
at least character design

 

[Aetheri]

Xenoblade Chronicles 3....I have so many questions

Is that Uraya being impaled by the Sword of the Mechonis?

Was that a core crystal?

Those people wearing masks?

Is that.....Vandam? He's alive?

 

[Z25]

It is pretty cool to see full track renditions of tracks from tour though. I really like the concepts in it.

 

[MooMew64]

honestly 11/10 Direct

will post more thoughts later but dang what a start to the year

 

[cashregister9]

Xenoblade 3 looks more immediately appealing to me than 2 ever did and I don't even hate 2.

It's just...

XB2's character design was not great...

 

[Metal Shop X]

I just realized that the endshot of the trailer as the Mechonis Sword & Uraya in the background.

Bruh.

Also since this is now my birthday here, no XB2 slander til a day as passed.

Also this pic remind me that we're getting freakin Dread update, YEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAH.

 

[Hadokeyblade]

The new main girl is just Nia Again.

 

[Lamperouge]

Oh yeah, that Three Houses musou game was a really pleasant surprise as well.

Hopefully I have an easier time getting into that one since I adore TH's cast, compared to the previous Warriors game where I only knew who some of the Awakening characters were, plus Lyn.

 

[MooMew64]

The new main girl is just Nia Again.

the only good XB2 character

 

[Lamperouge]

the only good XB2 character

False.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

I can't stop fretting over that Taiko in game paid subscription thing. I just hope its a pay one and done type deal and doesnt cost too much

 

[Deleted member]

I only said that in a throwaway line earlier, but now I really want to see a DK Warriors game, it feels like such a no brainer. Damn you Nintendo for making me want stuff that'll never happen. F-Zero

 

[TheMightyP]

You don't like Xenoblade 2 because of character designs.

I don't like Xenoblade 2 because I hate women, boobs, and anime.

We are not the same

 

[zumaddy]

Klonoa isn't dead anymore. I'm so ridiculously happy, even if it is just a remaster collection!

Side notes: Xeno 3, Kirby and Strikers looking great. Fire Emblem Warriors is uh.... ok.

 

[MooMew64]

False.

u right


I think Shulk is in the game too

jk i haven’t played the game i’m sure it has a good cast

 

[TMNTSSB4]

BOBA FETT FINALE
KENOBI RELEASE DATE
THREE HOPES
no Kid Icarus
MARIO STRIKERS
SWITCH SPORTS
****ING COCONUT MALL IN HD!!!!

 

[GilTheGreat19]

Just curious
What are AT LEAST 2 tracks y'all want in the new MK DLC pack?

I personally would like to see DS Airship Fortress and Wii DK Summit

 

[DanganZilla5]

It may just be me over analyzing but that titan looked like Uraya deformed or something. If the rumors are true, then this might be Alrest in the future then.

 

[Hydreigonfan01]

I don't like Xenoblade 2 because I hate women

[GilTheGreat19]

Calling it now
That new XC3 protagonist will show up in the next Smash game LUL

 

[Wario Bros.]

So Super Mario RPG: Legends of the Seven Stars is now the last major NES/SNES Nintendo game to be added to Switch.

 

[MooMew64]
