This is honestly the craziest Nintendo Direct they've done maybe. Like more than half of the games they showed I'd be interested in trying at least.
I can't even remember all of them but at the very least, NMH3, FFT meets Octopath, Ninja Gaiden Collection, Famicom Detective, Splatoon, Mario Golf and just so many other games. Do you even remember Fall Guys was announced? Apex Legend, one of the biggest games in the world, got like the quickest mention. What a wild direct.
My predictions (maybe a bit optimistic, but it's 50 mins and I'm going with the idea that things have been held back from 2020):
Smash is tackled early on. Correct New fighter is revealed to be Crash Bandicoot. Nope
New Kirby game revealed. Nope
GB(C) games for Switch online. Big nope.
Return of a small forgotten IP (think Rhythm Heaven, Nintendogs, Dillon, Mario vs. Donkey Kong...). Does Miitopia count?
First gameplay reveal of Bayonetta 3 Nope or No More Heroes 3 Yep.
Some mention of Mario 3D All-Stars availability (either backpedaling on the limited availability, or making them available digital-only as single games). Amazingly nope
Ports for Zelda anniversary (my guess is a collection with OoT [N64 original upscaled to HD], Wind Waker HD and Twilight Princess HD). Skyward Sword I guess, but I was adamant that this wouldn't happen!
And one more thing...being a new trailer for BotW2 (Holiday 2021 release). This will be mostly cinematic with a tiny glimpse of gameplay, and a hint of when we'll find out more. Kinda...they did acknowledge that we'd be getting more info at least.
Mario Golf seems obvious in hindsight. Miitopia and Project Triangle Strategy were a curveball. Splatoon was very much unexpected.
I'm quite impressed that they're managing to release Skyward Sword - and with two control options as well. I was certain that they'd take the easy option of porting their existing rereleases from last gen.
A few smaller titles looked quite interesting to me, especially that new game from the creators of Danganronpa/Zero Escape. Ninja Gaiden Collection may actually motivate me to finally play those games.
I'm also very excited for Xenoblade Chronicles 2 representation in Smash.
Overall...a fairly decent direct. I think I was expecting a lot more because of how long we've waited, but any other time this would've been pretty great.
I feel like Anti and I’m curious by that girly DC Superhero game.
I found it funny how they are preparing BOTW players for Skyward Sword and basically telling them it’s not BOTWish.
I’m not sure what to think of Splatoon 3, I will get it but I was expecting a spin off as their solo modes are so good but short or for it to launch on the next console.
I will skip Hyrule Warriors AOC DLC, I never complete the DLC on Warriors games.
White Neon, World's End Club, Project Triangle Strategy and Stubbs look cool.
Outer Wilds is a day one buy.
I loved the bait and switch in Rex being in Smash.
I’m kinda disappointed there was no BOTW 2, Bayonetta 3 or Metroid Prime 4 talk.

I almost forgot about nmh3, that looked great, golf also looked interesting.

There was a lot of different gems for me that i am interested in. I can totally understand if some people are a bit disappointed since none of the games that were promised a while ago now didn't appear yet again (metroid, Bayonetta, Hollow Knight, Botw2). Instead we got more stuff that will be released in the far future like Splatoon 3.
Personally i am thrilled for that new game by the Octopath traveller developers, totally gonna try out the demo tomorrow
