This was the most rock solid Direct. Nearly everything in it was cool with most of it not being too mind blowing, I'm mad that Nintendo is making me spend money before Tears of the Kingdom.
Another Mic Drop for me from Ninendo. Baten Kaitos collection pretty much made my whole year. I've played a lot of RPGs but I'd have to say the BK universe is my favorite game world.
Taiko is good for the soul, Hoisa!

I'm a Dream Fighter. Perfume is Love, Perfume is Life.
Baten Kaitos 1+2 was a very nice surprise. As was a new Layton title and the EO 1-3 collection. Tears of the Kingdom of course looks amazing and this new footage pretty much confirmed a whole new underground area. Prime remastered is great too. Also GB/GBA titles being shadow dropped was cool too.
Pros
The Yoshi track looks rather lovely in Mart Kart so is possibly the highlight of the Direct for me.
Baten Kaitos as I have wanted to play them before.
Pikmin 4 has a puppy.
Samba di Amigo could be awesome depending on the controls.
Advance Wars getting a release.
Anime Cop Car game looks good.
Mixed
New Layton is cool but the last one was ridiculously easy, they better sort that out or else.
Metroid Prime 1 but not 2 and 3.
New Fantasy Life but I’d imagine I’d get bored of it quickly if it’s too much like the last one.
I don’t really care about Gameboy games but cool, Mother 3 would be better though.
Ghost Trick, I didn't play the original and the clip didn’t sell it to me but I’ve heard good things.
Con
Not enough Zelda Kingdom Sad 😢
Is Splatoon 3 just getting a paid DLC hub area?!?
Lack of a big new sparkly Ninty game reveal.
No new Smash fighters!
Not the greatest direct in the world, but it gave me a much clearer picture of what the next six months look like on the Switch, so I'll take it. Seems like the Switch is gonna have a banger year, despite the hardware dragging its own corpse along the ground at this point. Fingers crossed games like TOTK aren't another Pokemon Scarlet.
Quite possibly one of my favourite Directs of all time. Splatoon 3 DLC, Level 5 resurrecting themselves in the west, great looks at Pikmin 4 + TOTK, Game Boy/Advance on NSO AND F******* GHOST TRICK OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD
9/10, absolutely loved it, THE GHOST TRICK IS REAAAAAAAAAAAL

Best! Nintendo Direct! Ever! 10/10! Most of the announcements like GB and GBA for NSO, DLC for Xenoblade Chronicles 3 and Fire Emblem Engage, Tears of the Kingdom, Professor Layton and remasters for Metroid Prime and Baten Kaitos I & II were super awesome and hype. The one announcement from the Nintendo Direct I cared for the most was the teaser for Wave 4 of the Booster Course Pass for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Yoshi's Island as a brand new course is looking super awesome and hype and the unexpected surprise of Birdo getting added as a DLC character for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Thank you very much, Nintendo for the super awesome Nintendo Direct. I really enjoyed it

My Uncle that works at Nintendo told me what’s going to be in next week’s Direct.
It will open up with Miyamoto introducing the Direct and saying how he is super excited for the Super Mario movie. A trailer will then start announcing a new 2D Super Mario game, that differs from the New Super Mario Bros gameplay and artsyle. It will contain elements reminiscent of Super Mario Bros 2. As the trailer finishes the date 2023 will fade in.
Can you guys ban this guy from the forum? Or ban his uncle?
For me its was an okay direct. Not amazing, but not awful either. Just a few small things that kept me from being as enthusiastic as you all seem to be.
I think the Metroid Prime remastered is cool, but disappointed because it also means an unlikely Metroid Collection or a GameCube virtual console. My guess is they are testing the waters to see what they can get away with and then consider doing a zelda remaster or prime 2/3. Also a $40 price tag seems high for a remaster that doesn't really look that much better then the original. Almost feels like a port to me.
The GBA addition is cool as well, but that it's part of the expansion kinda annoys me. Nintendo really milking every drop. Also the fact that they didn't announce any N64 or Genesis games is kinda crappy.
Advance Wars release date is great, but it being so close to Zelda is gonna mean it's online is gonna be dead and likely will be abandoned, like Nintendo always does with its online games that aren't Splatoon or Mario Kart.
I was hoping for a Zelda remaster or collection or a Mario party dlc, but wasn't expecting it.
@JesseA haha it was (supposed to be) just a funny quip to intro my predictions. Sorry if you didn't pick up on the hint of humor. Next time I'll mark /j for a better read.
I've waited a decent amount of time to really let the direct sink in before I spout off nonsense. So here goes...
The direct was ok. 7/10 for me.
pikmin 4 has me interested, even though I've never played a game in the series
the next 23-24ish minutes were pretty much a bore for me outside of the jrpg/cop game I'll never remember the name of and sea of stars.
the dlc felt like it took up half the direct, which I'm not too crazy about.
that ghost trick looks interesting.
AW 1+2 is a banger, and I'm amped for April.
Kirby I'm buying for the family, but not clamoring for it.
the direct finally kicked into high gear with NSO. Loved seeing some GB games I can replay and show the kids. Stinks only the EP subscribers get GBA while us base subbers are living like peasants. Nonetheless, I'm down for GB games on the big screen.
MP1R was the unannounced highlight for me. But for the life of me, I can't understand the whole deal. The pricing seems uncharacteristic of N, shadow drop of all things, and a physical in 2 weeks( which I'll patiently hold out for. I mean heck, this was teased 6 years ago I'm pretty sure, what's another 2 weeks?).
lastly, TotK which is my game of all games. The new mechanics, aircrafts, dune buggies, and rail skating are ALL top notch. Stinks we only got a couple minutes again. I do wish they stated something along the lines of, "stay tuned until April for a deep dive in the game." But, it is what it is.
Overall, not bad, but not great. I'll be busy with FE Engage, MP1R, and AW 1+2 all the way up until TotK, so no real complaints. Other than that, the burning question is: what the heck is going on with mario and dk titles on switch. I still can't believe how long it's been since we've played a new mario or dk experience.
Based on the games shown in this direct though, it leads me to believe we have a general direct coming in the summer. Otherwise, we wouldve been set up into September.
