@TeaCatherine P3P, Batman, Metal Gear. It all adds up.

I missed the direct

I can't believe I got the hours mixed, I had to recap everything quickly

At least there was nothing that noteworthy, except maybe Star Ocean 2 and MGS.

Between things like vampire survivors (whut) and silent hope tier games and downright showing us that hot wheels exists, it really felt like they had nothing to show and they filled these 30 minutes with big old whatever

Not a soul is talking about how Nintendo just casually said “oh and we are adding quality of life changes to Luigi’s Mansion Dark Moon (Luigi’s mansion 2) that we are putting on the switch next year. Onto the next announcement!” That was such a power move on Nintendo’s part. 3 Mario announcements in a row and a giant one at the end to shut up those on social media who kept pestering for a new Mario. “You want a new Mario? What about this remake? And a brand new peach game? How about a Luigi’s Mansion 2 port? And a new 2D Mario that isn’t called “New Super Mario Bros”!?”

Nintendo just pulled a super Mario.

@Scooby-Doo Yeah, forgot about P3P, sorry.
@ComfyAko Yeah, pretty meh. It had plenty of stuff other people liked but not many things appealed to me.

@TeaCatherine
I think the Peach one will be a duel release, along with Dark Moon. I’m with you on the Zelda games coming although I’ve been saying that every direct the past few years.

@Owl1
Nintendo had me hyped up for Zelda dlc and then all they gave was disappointment. Kinda the theme of this direct thought.

The new name for the Mario game is rough, but I don’t blame Nintendo. It’s hard to follow up creative names like New Super Mario Bros U.

@TheBigBlue
Wait, we will get Luigi Mansion 2 HD on Switch?
My 3DS version is still not finished yet.

@Anti-Matter yes! It’s not coming until next year however, so you have time to finish the 3DS version!

@ComfyAko
The direct wasn’t great. Lots of remasters and 1/4 of it taken up by Pikmin 4. Because we haven’t had that as a main feature for the last 2 directs or anything.

@blindsquarel Maybe, I guess? They don't scream cross-gen system seller, though it could go either way.
I'm just hoping for a couple of things before the Switch fizzles out.
I never believed the Zelda remaster rumour before but both this one and the one before have had a shadowdrop of something from that period so I figure the next one will as well.

@Professor_Plumber
He completed his mission then, tell him nice job!

@TeaCatherine
Hopefully your right, I would pay $70 bucks a piece for Wind Waker and Twilight Princess.

@blindsquarel Thankfully, if I am it would likely have the same price as MPR and the Pikmin dual pack.

@Professor_Plumber
At least Mario RPG is getting a remake. And I’m interested in Dark Moon and the new 2D game. The Arkham collection is cool, but if I ever get that it will likely be on PC.

But other than that I was pretty bored. Nintendos fake out with the Zelda amibos soured me on this one.

@TeaCatherine @blindsquarel

Yeah I'm less and less into games. At least 4 people told me that Vampire Survivors is a great game, and I'm like "WHUT".
I completed Ender Lilies yesterday and don't know what to start next. I think I'll keep replaying old games I have if the mood strikes me

@ComfyAko Yeah, I've heard that but never seen the appeal of it.

@TeaCatherine yeah it just showed me that video games are not what I loved when I was a tiny kid anymore. Now they're just... something else.

@ComfyAko Fair enough, what did you love as a child?

@EaglyPurahfan I wish I had.

@TeaCatherine I'll provide a definitive answer later, now I'm really mentally tired and I need to take a nap and think things through

@ComfyAko Seems like a good idea, enjoy.

@blindsquarel the Batman trilogy(?) looks good but will probably be rated M. I have a hypothesis on Zelda I will share later in the rumors thread.

@Professor_Plumber it was solid. Now if you excuse me I have to go make an essay on R-rated movies in the Movie Thread...
