Honestly, the only thing missing was some teaser for like DMC or Mega Man for me to call this perfect. Any game presentation that gives like 4 things to give a **** about is a good one in my book. Or a Tekken/Soul Calibur collection of some kind. I need more official game preservation, it's good for my soul!

 

[Jondolio]

I gotta say 2025 is looking like a pretty good year for the Switch after all

 

[Shroob]

Yeah, that was pretty sick.

We already have Prime 4 and Z-A, and that’s not even getting into the Switch 2 launch titles.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Also GOTY Hello Kitty Island Adventure

We all know how Z-A is gonna run on the Switch. It's basically a Switch 2 exclusive

Don't forget about the DKC Returns HD release.
Also

I could see a DKC Returns re-release. I don't have much hope beyond that however

Mio: Memories in Orbit is being slept on.

Peak I say

 

[Venus of the Desert Bloom]

For me, this is what piqued my interest which does take a lot as I don't game as much as I used to.

• MvC collection was a huge thing for me
• DQ HD Remakes also was a hit as I grew up on those games
• NSO Expansions, in particular Turok and Perfect Dark WAS A UUUUUUUGE Plus for me. Save for Turok 2007 or whatever that was I have adamantly played every game in that series and logged in serious hours into both singlr player and multiplayer. Same goes with Perfect Dark and, while I like the new one coming out, it lacks something for me. Perfect Dark was, well, to quote Homelander "...it was perfect. Perfect. Everything, down to the last minute details."
• The Zelda Zelda game. I have been a huge proponent of a playable Zelda game or even a hybrid. I do not like and never liked the chibi style and prefer OoT and onward but, with that being said, I think this style works for Zelda. Still wished we had gotten playable Zelda in TotK.
• Metroid Prime 4 Beyond was a huge thing as well. I am an on and off again Metroid fan but didn't get into the series fully until Metroid Prime so seeing renewed interest beyond "we are working on it" to "we have a product" is a big thing for me. Sylux tie in also was great.

Buuuuuuuuut.....





Zero new Smash news or even a Fighters Pass 3 or even a Spirits Event torched the entire Direct. Even a "Hi" from Sakurai-san would of been peak content. Complete horse manure of a Direct and a wasted 40 minutes. Would not recommend. Service counter smells like BO and the staff slips on mushed fries and spilled shakes. There is a guy in the bathroom smearing poop on the walls and cockroaches have claimed every inch of the dining space. I hope you enjoy your "Smash latte minus the Smash" cause that is what you are drinking this morning. We came for the Smash but only got HD remake leftovers, microwaved sequels, and Funkopop. 0/5 stars would not rate, mate.

Seriously, at this point I really think Nintendo got the hint when it comes to Mario RPGs and are trying to get the genre back on track.

It’d be one thing to remake Mario RPG, which is already wild because I thought that game would just be lost to time. But then they remade TTYD, not even the first Paper Mario but specifically the fan favorite. And now we’re getting a new Mario & Luigi? All in the same year?

They know, dude. I wouldn’t be surprised to see a new Paper Mario that’s a proper follow up to Thousand Year Door in a few years.

 

[Shroob]

Gimme the Ace Attorney game like, right now. I've always wanted to play Investigations 2 since it never got localized.

 

[TMNTSSB4]

Nintendo you still the undisputed gaming king

 

[Jondolio]

I've played the fan translation a while back. It's peak, might actually be top 1 Ace Attorney game

 

[Noipoi]

Weird that Sonadow Generations didn’t get a mention though.

The stars aligned and gave a sign since grandfather SMRPG returned to the spotlight after almost 30 years.

Everyone say thank you Origami King for selling surprisingly well so the Mario RPGs didn't die.

 

[GilTheGreat19]

[Peepo T. Skeleton]

Not sure if it's gonna make me really inefficient or put me into a ****ing flow state lmao

Apparently the emotes Pyoro used for this direct was referring to a game... that is only available in the Japanese Direct, bruh

 

[Dukefire]

For those that don't where Sylux first appeared, here is where his roots started.

Butters, what are you doing on Smashboards? Your father's gonna ground you for this.

 

[Shroob]

Origami King was THIS close to being "one of the good ones".

Great writing
Amazing music
But my god

That battle system is terrible

It’s as good as a game built off the backbone of Sticker Star could be.

I will say this, I think I prefer Origami King’s more open areas to TTYD’s world design. Not to say it’s bad, but I enjoyed having a little more freedom of movement.

If we could take just about everything from TTYD and mix it with OK’s level design, we’d be in for some good ****.

 

[Alphine Agnitio]

New zelda game, new mario party, and ace attorney collections? lets go, bangers

It's really cool that they're reinvigorating Mario as a franchise after the New Super Mario Bros games sanitized it to hell and back for over a decade

 

[Shroob]

So what you're saying is that Nintendo Switch.... still has games?

 

[Noipoi]

I love Mario so much but it frustrates me when they just stick to stuff you’d see on the Mario backpack.

But at this point we’ve been moving away from that for a while now, so that’s rad.
