It was meh for me. Like the big announcements I really loved, but the rest of it was just, eh, and then they had to promote there pikmin app before giving us the real thing, which lasted forever.
So 6/10 for me, which even then might be a little to low, but you know, just wasn’t interesting overall, but it’s big announcements saved it.
Nintendo are like woman, You love them for whats on the inside, not the outside…you know what I mean! Luzlane best girl!

Grubb needs to take the L for that and people need to give him less airspace - sure he said there would be a direct this week but thats like saying it will rain in England in September. He tried to pull the most common rumours out the bag like Prime Trilogy and WW/TP and failed, resulting only in disappointing the gullible and the optimistic.
Yup, disappointment, should have been called Nintendo Direct in association with Square Blockchain NFT Enix.
Want farming games? We have all of them!
Oh and here's the name and date for Zelda.
Also did anyone notice the User's picture when Goldeneye turned on? It was almost a Samus S
Looking forward to Fatal Frame, Tales of Symphonia, Return to Dreamland, & of course Zelda!
Kinda funny though, I was watching it on mute at work & I maybe took 2-3 calls throughout the entirety of the show, then the Zelda trailer started playing & I got 5 calls right on top of each other, lol.
A few good announcements (Tunic, Goldeneye, Mario Kart) but slightly disappointed that Metroid Prime, Wind Waker and Twilight Princess weren't mentioned.
@NintendoByNature Thank you. Are there any more? Also, is it possible to block the Nintendo Life member that published the article involving Grubb's leaks?

Okay so overall I wasn't a huge fan of the Direct, but they had Mario Kart, Mario Party, FE: Engage, Pikmin 4, and TOTK so I can't be too disappointed! It just felt like half of the Direct was Squeenix farming games.
7/10 since I popped off like crazy for Pikmin and Zelda but other than that, nothing too crazy.
Edit: Also we gotta stop giving Jeff Grubb attention here. How many years in a row has he been wrong about the Zelda and Metroid remasters?
Very solid direct for me. FE looks great, A WONDERFUL LIFE is back, and lots of Jrpg goodness that I won't have time to beat.
Taiko is good for the soul, Hoisa!

It's @dartmonkey here that published the article for Grubb's leaks on Metroid, and I cannot ignore staff. I at least made sure to block Jeff Grubb. The leaks and rumors related to previous Metroid Prime titles coming to Switch have been wrong for too long to not be completely shut down. A leaker should only be given attention in a short window immediately following when they're right. For instance, whoever first discovered the music for BCP and pushed that leak should now be getting credit. 2 for 2 for Wave 3. Credibility should be kept current. Being right before doesn't mean anything if they're wrong now.

Like I mentioned in the main Switch thread, I have a feeling there'll be a November general Direct (after Bayonetta 3). With the exception of Pokemon Legends Arceus last year (TPC does their own thing so it's different), Fire Emblem Engage is the first new 1st party Nintendo game (as in not a port/remaster/remake) to release in a specific year before March (i.e. release in January or February) since Mario & Luigi Paper Jam in January 2016 (that game had presence in the November 2015 general Direct). New games need bigger promo cycles than ports/remasters/remakes so a general Direct in November would fit as in addition to that, December and March are also unknown at this point.
