Note: Mods - if you feel this belongs in the April Direct thread, feel free to lock and move it; I won't be insulted.

So, this may be the most excited I have been over a Nintendo news type event since E3 2014. So much win in only approximately 48 minutes.

EXCITEMENT

Fatal Frame - I knew he was going to say Fatal Frame when the screen got fuzzy and staticky. I nearly yelled "yay!" out loud when I read this. I've been hoping for a localization of this game since they announced it for Japan, and the fact that we're getting it in NA makes me extremely happy! This mixed in with Xenoblade X makes the (probable) loss of Zelda U a lot less heavy. I may not miss it at all at this point.

Mario Kart 8 DLC - Ok, if it weren't for FF, this would be the biggest bombshell of an announcement for this Direct. NOT ONLY is the DLC being pushed up, but we're getting a whole new mode? YES PLEASE! For the Zelda DLC, I was excited, and I still play MK8 from time to time, but this new addition is going to give the game all kinds of new longevity.

Smash Bros DLC - The most excited I've gotten for Smash in a while. From what it seemed, it seemed they're adding some additions that are going to make sharing videos and screen shots a lot better. Maybe a Mario Kart TV type thing for Smash (Smash TV?) This is good news. Two new characters is also cool, though I really never used Mewtwo ever (too slow), but Lucas is cool. Either way, this is good news for Smash fans.

Splatoon - It's almost here! Yay!

DISSAPPOINTMENTS

Fire Emblem X Shin Megami Tensei - Ummm... WTF was that? It looked awful. It looked like a 3DS game. I thought it was a 3DS game as I was watching it, and all I could think was "I thought this was supposed to be a Wii U game," which made me disappointed because I wanted it on Wii U. Now that I know that it IS indeed a Wii U game, I'm even more disappointed. It looks AWFUL. For it being in development for so long, I'm ... I don't know what to say. I need to see more of the game, and learn about it more, because as of right now, this game dropped so low on my list, it's kinda pissing me off.

Mario Marker - I'm just sad that this game won't come out until this fall. I was hoping for a summer release because it seems the summer is going to be a bit bare. I put this on the disappointments because I wanted this sooner, but this game looks amazing, and I can't wait.

Overall, this was an amazing Direct. It did not disappoint. I'm utterly excited for this year in terms of gaming, even more so now after watching this. Also, I can't wait for that June/July amiibo release and I'm not even that big into them. I'll be getting Lucina, ZSS, and Ganondorf for sure.

What about you guys? Disappointments? Excitements? A mix of the two?

The only excitements for me were SMTxFE, and Lucas Amiibo.
Everything else was pretty meh.

All I found exciting was the amazing yarn yoshi dolls

I'm not a Mario fan, but those amiibo look really cool. I actually want one.

DISAPPOINTMENTS
Pretty much everything related to the 3DS. I yawned multiple times when they were talking about it. I don't care about match 3 puzzlers, overly punishing 2D platforming indie games, downloadable life sims, or a game I already played on Wii. The ONLY times my ears perked up were for that cool looking block puzzler from HAL Labs and for Fire Emblem IF.

C'mon guys, there was so much more you could have done like:
-Yokai Watch/Bravely Second localization
-Rhythm Heaven localization
-This holiday's new Pokemon game (you know it's happening)
-More ports for New Nintendo 3DS XL
-Announce regular New 3DS

Instead we got stupid streetpass games and a free to play Pokemon Rumble.
