Man, can we just talk about how cool it is that Nintendo is actually remaking these games? The highlight of the Direct for me, I am genuinely interested in these.

This was one of the only good things in that otherwise wretched Direct. Definitely looking forward to seeing how these turn out.

kinda bummed they butchered the great looking sprites into a very by the numbers anime artstyle

Pretty much the only "new" game that interests me. I hope that both games are available physically on a single cartridge. They said that both games will be sold separately, but I assume that this would be the case concerning the eShop release.

So, I don't remember this being said in the Direct, but if you buy both games digitally, you get $10 off the price of the second game, so that both end up costing $60.

@Ralizah Whoa, where did you read that?

I've been waiting for this for forever. Just another layer on the amazing cake that was that direct

@AnnoyingFrenzy Eshop description for the game.

I had no previous knowledge of these games, but I liked the character art. Interested to know how much longevity these titles would provide.

So I assume its getting some sort of physical release (if not immediately?) if they're doing that to keep to a 60 dollar price point.

Interestingly enough, on the Australian eShop (and Europe I assume?), both games are one single release ($90 AU) rather than being two individual releases like on the US eShop.

Edit: It's eligible to be redeemed with one of the NSO vouchers which is probably why they did it that way.

Don't know much about these games — does anyone know if they're basic visual novels, or do they have some actual gameplay mechanics (like the Ace Attorney games for example)?

The Famitsu review is in, it got 31/40 broken down to 7/8/8/8. I will never get use to the Famitsu scoring system.

Well...that's a solid C+ on the Murican grade scale, 77 to 78 if it were Metacritic or Opencritic.

@Magician I'm hoping all scores will follow how it's done in cricket. A score is always expressed, after all, as the number of runs they've collected 'for' the number of wickets they've lost. If a team have scored 100 runs and lost three wickets, for example, their score would be 100 for three which would be written as 100 – 3.
