Nice to see you animating now!

 

[CannonStreak]

Nintendo Direct, anyone?

 

[Rie Sonomura]

Good news: training classes are in the evening for this month only
Bad news: mom may step out of the house along with aunt’s caretaker around 10 AM EST, so I’d have to stay with aunt meaning I can’t live stream my reactions if that’s the case. We’ll see

 

[Jondolio]

Gonna sleep through the direct, way too tired for this

 

[NonSpecificGuy]

The thread is now closed for the Nintendo direct. Please make your way over to the Official Nintendo Direct Thread.

 

[NonSpecificGuy]

Carry on, everyone.

 

[Michele]

Yes, sir.

...

So... how was your Direct experience if you've watched?

 

[cashregister9]

Only a Partial Bingo unfortunately

 

[osby]

Yes, sir.

...

So... how was your Direct experience if you've watched?

It wasn't the worst use of 40 minutes in my life but it was pretty underwhelming if you're not a fan of Mario imo.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Gonna go to the Nintendo Museum next year, rate my fit

Another Code looks ****ing great, can't wait to finally get to play it after getting into Hotel Dusk a while ago

 

[Knight Dude]

So the last piece of the recent Mortal Kombat Block, or the MKB for short, is Sareena. The resident Goth Girl of MK. I wanted to draw someone I hadn't yet in the series so she's who I went with. Eventually, I'll get to Kenshi, Jax, Mileena, Kitana and Raiden too. Keep in mind, I still got other art in store after this for a bit. I had nearly a month's worth of work stocked up!

There was a problem fetching the tweet

That direct had some stuff in it fr fr. We might still get a little bit of heat from Sony, at the very least a look at Steve or Yoshimitsu in Tekken 8 would be nice.

Being a bit more serious, LOTS of Mario stuff. 2 MORE remakes with Mario vs Donkey Kong, and THOUSAND YEAR DOOR of all things after already getting SMRPG. So that's a one-two punch.

Peach Showtime legit looks nice, almost LM3 levels good. I guess it makes sense a villain specifically for Peach would also be named for a Fruit. Though Grape doesn't strike fear in the hearts of men.

Diddy and Funky are finally in Mario Kart 8. Pauline too, though why Peachette instead of Dixie I can't say.

Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon got rebranded as Luigi's Mansion 2 HD, as it should.

Tomb Raider 1, 2 and 3 are getting re-masters, but they don't look crazy good visually, say compared to Metroid Prime earlier this year. But I'm always happy to see games from back in the day having an easier means of playing them, especially from Culturally important franchises like Tomb Raider.

Speaking of, there's a Contra game, but it seems like it was built from that mobile game? Is this another Mega Man X Dive situation? Speaking of, that game as far as I know isn't on Switch either.

Hundred Heroes seems cool. The MC is Suikuden(spelling?)core as hell and he's got Hookswords like Kabal, so that cool, and a cool looking Black chick.

Some of those indie games seem neat, but nothing that REALLY grabbed me like Gravity Circuit or Pizza Tower being ones I want to play eventually.

F-Zero getting the 99 treatment makes sense, but it's hard to get super excited for it when you know those games don't last super long.

That one DS game got a remake, with its sequel included. Nice for those who like Point and Clicks.

Amiibo are still a thing for a bit longer. I'm sure there's someone crazy enough to get them all, including the Mega Man 11 version and the Gold Mega Man for Legacy Collection.

The Switch for the most part truly does feel like it'll near the end of its cycle, outside of Peach's game, many of these titles are essentially remakes and ports, which works well as swan song titles I guess. Prime 4 is still a no-show, but I gotta imagine it'll end up like Twilight Princess and Breath of the Wild and show up as both a swan song for the old console AND act as a launch title for the new system.

If you like Mario, you're sitting pretty basically.

2) im not shocked at no tomodachi life lol
3) wth does "this holiday" mean for MK8, Nintendo NotLikeThis

I was 9 years old when I first played this little game with my cousins: Mario vs Donkey Kong 2: March Of The Minis. It was a simple game: you had to move the Mini Marios as if they were lemmings through maze-like levels preventing obstacles. It isn't one of the most memorable Mario games... but DAMN, that one, Mario Kart DS, NSMB and Mario Slam Basketball were some of the favourite games of my cousins and I back then. From said game, one character stood out for me even then: Pauline. She wasn't the Princess we were rescuing in NSMB, she was different. A while after I did get into the internet through Pokémon, I started researching her... and got into the world of retro gaming. Pauline, is a character who means a lot for me not just for this fact, but also because she was also there back in our happy days of our childhood. Everytime I saw her I got reminded of those evenings in the car with my cousins talking about how many maze levels we had beaten... And other beautiful things.

So yeah, I felt she really deserved to be in Mario Kart. Specially because she was technically the first person Mario ever rescued in any game. And I kept waiting, and waiting... and waiting. She finally got in a Mario Kart game... for mobile phones. A fun game, but one which sadly we all know will be shutdown eventually.

No, I needed a Mario Kart game which I could hold physically and make sure would be able to pick up whenever I wanted to play as the character in a Mario Kart.

Today, September 14th of 2023, I jumped from excitement. It finally happened, the 1-Up girl finally got into a console Mario Kart. All these years finally seem to have meant anything regarding my Mario Kart hopes and dreams, and It is funny that now she shares a game with who used to be our favourite Mario Kart DS character (Dry Bones).

Needless to say, I am genuiely excited. The day the DLC drops I'm gonna call my cousins, and we will have the best Mario Kart matches ever. They will be Dry Bones, and I will finally be Pauline... as I was dreaming back when I was 9 years old

Spoiler: Cool people

[TheMightyP]

Yes, sir.

...

ASS, it was boring.

Ending was kinda cool I guess.

 

[Schnee117]

TTYD remake was cool and the Kart dlc characters are neat but

meh, another middle of the road direct tbh

 

[Michele]

It wasn't the worst use of 40 minutes in my life but it was pretty underwhelming if you're not a fan of Mario imo.

I feel like all the biggest/bigger games are being saved up for Switch 2, hence why we got mainly remakes this time. I'm a Mario fan so quite a few piece of news has interested me. I kind of expected to only see a Sora amiibo announcement for Smash, but might be worth checking Smash again now that I think about it.

You forgot about me... Hah I'm joking but it's nice to see a newer member on this forum. Congratulations to you on having your hopes realized.

 

[Hadokeyblade]

New Funky mode lets go

 

[Hydreigonfan01]

That direct was super mid until the TTYD remake lmao.

 

[skylanders fan]

As much as I’m excited for TTYD you knew they didn’t have anything super exciting so they had to show that

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Anyway, back to trying to teach myself how to animate

 

[Michael the Spikester]

**** YEAH!!!! THE THOUSAND YEAR DOOR BABY!!!!

 

[TheMightyP]

Thousand Year Door fans excited to play TTYD for the first time

 

[Hadokeyblade]

Now that the best Gamecube game is getting remastered.

Give me the second best one, let me go back to the orre region Nintendo.

 

[TheMightyP]

I guess TTYD 2024 makes sense, it would be the 20th anniversary of the game.


...

 

[Lamperouge]

Well, that was weak.

Anya game and Princess Peach Showtime look super cute though, and I'll never turn down Thousand-Year Door.

 

[TheMightyP]

Mario and Luigi next

 

[Knight Dude]

Now that the best Gamecube game is getting remastered.

Give me the second best one, let me go back to the orre region Nintendo.

But Mega Man X: Command Mission wasn't announced for getting a remaster.

Seriously though, that or MP3 would've been more my speed personally. Or another Soul Calibur 2 HD, but with Link and the other two guests all in one game.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Tbh I'm almost impressed by all the Mario remakes. Like, that's a lot, 3 in a direct with 2 being new announcements. Just not a big Mario fan so none of it appeals to me. TTYD could be neat but I don't like the combat system funny enough

 

[Hadokeyblade]

Fighting over the only Sora amiibo at the local Walmart be like:

They'd HAVE to let you have it given your username tho.

 

[Lamperouge]

Good day for scalpers

 

[SneakyLink]

I’ll get a poll up with some of the Direct highlights soon.

 

[TheMightyP]

Best part about this?

PAPER MARIO FANS CAN FINALLY SHUT THE HELL UP, I WIN!

Update:

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Ok
I gotta say, Fzero 99 is... pretty fun

 

[Hadokeyblade]

Ok
I gotta say, Fzero 99 is... pretty fun

Its up already? I'm interested.

 

[Noipoi]

That direct had like two or three goated announcements amidst a sea of mid.

 

[TheMightyP]

Like this while modern vs classic PM debate should be done by now. Modern fans got the best modern PM game by far, and classic fans got the best classic PM game. You'd think the debate would be over cause everyone's happy but....


Mario and Luigi wouldn't have done this to us. Please remake the Dual Screen trilogy please I'm begging you Nintendo

 

[Noipoi]

TTYD has been number one on my list of games I wanted to play but never had the chance to. For like, a decade.

Real stoked about this.

 

[TheMightyP]

I do wonder, will they keep the localization changes or would it be close to the original.

Because there's some pretty big differences between the Japanese version and the NSTC version.

 

[Noipoi]

Figured as much
