@Blast: The 3DS announcements were great, but the Wii U side of things was a disaster with Twilight Princess HD being the only new Wii U announcement in the entire direct in North America. What's worse is the game looks like a straight port of the GC/Wii game. Then we have all of the lovely cash-grab's via Amiibo a.k.a. on-disc dlc. I didn't mind how Mario Kart, Smash 4, and Hyrule Warriors utilized Amiibo, but now we're seeing entire modes and very important aspects of games being locked behind an Amiibo paywall which is just atrocious.
@Blast: One thing is for sure, this Direct was RPG heavy! What's interesting though is that SMTxFE wasn't mentioned. Game Awards maybe?
Still, so many RPGs through next year. Xenoblade X, Paper Jam, FF Explorers, FE Fates, Pokemon RBY on the VC, SMTxFE, Bravely Second, Project X Zone 2, and both Dragon Quest VII and VIII! Oh and Cloud in Smash!
Perhaps this is hinting at the type of 3rd party support we'll be getting on NX? RPGs galore!
Lmao. Cloud in Smash pretty slaps the old notion that Final Fantasy and Sony were tied as one. FF7 Remake for NX is coming. No way Cloud got in without that happening as well.

The NX is going to be delayed to Holiday 2017 you heard it here first, also It should be pretty obvious what my favorite game of all time is cough Skyward Sword cough
Even though I don't like megaman, the new amiibo seems like the laziest idea ever.
It's a game unrelated to smash, they could've made a retro megaman amiibo, or something worthwhile. Instead they repainted smash megaman in one of the most boring colors ever.

I just assumed that everything about SMTxFE that needed to be said has been said already. I wouldn't expect to hear any more of this game until 1 or 2 months before the game is out.
I absolutely love how RPG filled this direct was. I love to see that the relationship between nintendo and Square might be mending also.

@TheMonadoSenpai Have you seen the diehard Playstation fanboys react to Cloud being in Smash? They are incredibly angry!!!!!!!!!!

@Neko_Ichigofan That's my only real complaint about the Direct. The Wii U should've got one more game announcement and the Direct would've been perfect. And TP has some of the best combat in a Zelda game... I'll gladly experience it again in HD. Lol

I agree also. It was a nod to FF VII.
Square Enix and Nintendo's relationship is improving... that's incredibly great for gamers! It was looking like Square Enix was putting their biggest games only on PS4 but ohhhh... how times change...

I too was disappointed by Twilight Princess HD's upgrade. I think of the kind of remodelling the 3DS games got, and the change-up that WWHD got, and I'm surprised that the only change for TP is a higher resolution. A bunched of blocky models look really outdated. But that's not even my biggest disappointment.

I was pretty satisfied with this Direct. It was a good starting place since Iwata passed away. My biggest complaint was they still haven't sold me on Mario Tennis. Maybe if they announced new amiibo in the Super Mario series to be compatible with Mario Tennis, then I might have been more interested. I was also expecting announcements of online events (similar to Splatfest) for Mario Tennis, but nothing. Cloud I don't really care about... maybe I should play Final Fantasy 7 before the next direct and find out why people love him so much... (Cloud looks like Ike, and I like Ike. I will still buy him and check him out lol)
People keep saying the Xbox One doesn't have Backwards Compatibility.
I don't think they know what Backwards Compatibility means...

The series has clearly sold out. Even though I actually like Awakening, it has sent the franchise down the wrong path due to its mainstream success, i.e. selling out. After Nirvana had surprising mainstream success with Nevermind, they released In Utero, an album so raw and repulsive (but ultimately better) that they were accused of intentionally recording a radio unfriendly album to shed those new "fans". Obviously Intelligent Systems would have to be crazier than Kurt Cobain to do the equivalent of that, especially considering how poorly Radiant Dawn performed, but they didn't have to make a game that was even more mainstream friendly (the PC way of saying selling out).
@GamecubeMan: I haven't followed the game closely because I was in blackout mode to avoid spoilers and then avoid mode due to the stupid weapon triangle, unlimited weapon uses, phoenix mode, and the marriage and pair-up systems returning (I was glad they added gay marriages though) but it's spilt into three to sell more copies. It could've easily been one game where you choose a side in the game, not at the store.
If anyone wants to be annoyed by me more, tag me on Wednesday because I've got to get back to focusing on my college work.
