Thanks @DarkRula ! A pretty good demo then! I’m enjoying it. The blueprint feature is fun. It’d be great if you could create blueprints and make them available to other players. Maybe you can, on the PC anyway?

@Roamer, On the full PS4 release there is a free build mode, that is separate to the main campaign in which you can build more freely. The only catch if I remember right is that you have to play the main RPG campaign to unlock some of the building recipes.
Ow, my wallet hurts. I still have games to buy from 2017 and now Nintendo gives us this! Will Nintendo ever let me keep my money for more than three seconds?
Anyways, I was very happy about the Direct simply because I didn't expect it and had lowered my expectations. I'm that person who missed a lot of Wii U's gems despite owning one, so Tropical Freeze and Hyrule Warriors are as good as new games to me. Kirby looks excellent and I was uninterested in Mario Tennis until they announced the story mode. It actually looks really good. And can we take a minute to appreciate that Dark Souls, freaking Dark Souls, is coming to a Nintendo platform?
Overall, the Direct did its job, and now Nintendo's first half of 2018 looks a lot less barebones. I expect E3 to be a lot better than this Direct, though. Give me Smash Bros. and Mario Maker. I need them.
The fact Wolfenstein 2, Project Octopath, Outlast 1&2,Layers of Fear etc.. never featured at all in this Direct tells me we're not going to be waiting long for another. Surely they'll want to show some of these off. Project Octopath especially since it's a Switch exclusive.

Sounds good. Wonder if the Switch version will have this sandbox mode. Don’t mind if you have to play through the campaign first. I’m surprised how much I’m enjoying this.

Yup. I've seen people complain that 2018 looks weak for the Switch, but here I am struggling to keep up with all the games. Thank God for Best Buy GCU.
Same here. My most wanted games this year are Fire Emblem, Bayonetta 3, any kind of Monster Hunter, Pikmin 4 and thats about it. And with just Fire Emblem confirmed 2018 atm that leaves me with one game day one purchase 🙁

Dude. Valkyria Chronicles 4, The World Ends With You, Bayonetta 3 (hell, all of them really), Fire Emblem, Project Octopath Traveller, Mega Man 11, DKC Tropical Mother Freaking Freeze, Metroid Prime 4, Pokémon, Dragon Quest XI and SMT V...
and you say not much that interests you?!! Do you even game, man?!!! I'm just giving you a hard time 😃... (but seriously though)
@JaxonH You're missing Outlast 1&2 , Layers of Fear and Detention from your list. 4 quality horror games all coming soon. Both Outlast games are down for 1st quarter, while the others are supposedly coming early 2018. Looking forward to them all.
@OorWullie
Tried to stick to physical releases (with the exception of Hollow Knight and Wargroove, because those games are as hype as they come). Suppose Runner 3 could have been added, Penny Punching Princess and The Longest 5 Minutes, but those just feel like indie games, even with a physical release.
Psalms 22:16 (1,000 yrs before Christ)
They pierced My hands and feet
Isaiah 53:5 (700 yrs before Christ)
He was pierced for our transgressions
This list may not be as big as some of yours, but there's no way I could ever get through all that, so the Switch's lineup isn't at all lacking as far as I'm concerned.
