It's interesting (and kind of sad) how Triangle Strategy looks like the Final Fantasy Tactics spiritual successor fans have been clamoring for. Meanwhile the actual spiritual successor, Unsung Story, has been in development limbo since 2014? Finally getting an early access release back in December to "meh" reviews. So I feel TS might fill that void nicely.

@Wargoose Nintendo have certainly found that they can easily rely on Mario and Zelda for easy sales, that’s for sure. I do think it’s important to note that a lot of third party developers have gone to the wall since the heyday of the Wii/PS3/360 generation, or they’ve been purchased and absorbed. So that also has a big effect on whom Nintendo can use for developing exclusives.

@Magician I was getting a Disgaea vibe from Triangle Strategy. I like the idea of branching story paths. However I found their previous game Octopath Traveller to be very Vanilla. Not bad, just very plain.

Triangle Strategy looks so dope. Yet another potential top notch strategy game for a the handheld hybrid.

It’s not giving me Fire Emblem vibes- it’s really Final Fantasy Tactics, in the Octopath Engine, but approaching it in the way Bravely Default was a spiritual successor to Final Fantasy. The fact they’ve made story such a focus remedies the one complaint people seemed to have with Octopath. And it’s an entirely different genre, which is a breath of fresh air.

I’ve been wanting a new FF Tactics on Switch, and this is basically it. Octopath art style is a dream for this game. Downloading now and will soon be playing.

I’m sooooo happy about Mario Golf, a Skyward Sword HD, Splatoon 3 and Triangle Strategy. These 4 games stole the show. And we’ve got a nice, sexy lineup leading into e3 now:

Serious question Miitopia on switch WHY ?

Not only no one asked for it but it’s a full price 60$ game, on 3ds it sold terribly.

Welp I just finished the direct (had to watch later due to work). I think the best thing about it was that it happened at all. Like, it's really nice to have a game company do a presentation thats almost the length of a feature film. Having said that, there wasn't much that really got me excited.

Famicom Detectice club seems neat, it's nice to see that Miitopia is still a thing Nintendo cares about, and Mario Golf may be alot of fun if that story mode pans out. Project Triangle Strategy is one of the worst titles I've ever heard. I'm concerned they'll keep it. 'Project Octopath Traveller' eventually became 'Octopath Traveller'. In spite of that, it may have been the most interesting game I saw. No More Heroes III looks rough. The character design of World's End Club is repelling me. They're like half Pokemon Trainer, half Pokemon. No Shin Megami - big missed opportunity for publicity.

The only definite buy for me was Skyward Sword HD. I never did play the original so I'm looking forward to it.

@Duboiss 60$ smackers????? OHHHH I might need to site this one out.

@Snatcher Actually, it's $50 according to Nintendo's website. Still think it should be $40 max, but that is a bit better.

A quick look on Twitter and apparently it is 49.99. Which is still not good but is a more normal type of not good.

@kkslider5552000 You changed my opinion from awful price to really bad price lol

It will do a Sushi striker and be 15$ in 2 years and most people will have forgot about it.

A new Miitopia would've been better than a rerelease, and a reduced price would've been even better still. Regardless, Miitopia was really fun (if a tad repetitive).

There was a game about killing demons

but not one about both

Seriously I'm shocked Nocturne wasn't here

NMH 3 looks bad. It looks like a 360 indie game with how everything looking like plastic. Don't get me started on those environments, christ almighty. Mind you; the first two games aren't lookers either. But at least those had style. This game feels Suda forced his team to make this.

Sad no one is talking about Stubbs The Zombie. Classic. One of a kind.

NMH3 never looked good to me, visually. But it looks crazy and creative and I think it could be fun as a result. I’m just glad games like it exist.

Miitopia is a joke. I can’t believe they wasted the time bringing it over. And for $50? I’m not one to complain about price. I’m really not. In fact I can’t recall a single time I’ve ever complained about a game’s price. But I’m gonna complain about this one. I seriously thought it would be like $9.99. I almost spit out my iced tea when I saw $50. I might would have bought it for $10 just to sate my curiosity. But not for $50. It won’t even be getting the wishlist star. I really don’t even understand why they bothered to bring it in the first place. Maybe it was just to provide some more casual games to help bolster their lineup as they target new, more Wii-era friendly Switch owners. Who knows.

I started playing Triangle Strategy. It’s good. It’s really good. They nailed it.

Be sure to grab a notepad and jot down thoughts as you play, to provide as feedback in the survey. It’s easy to forget details by the time the survey releases. We wanna make sure this game is as close to perfection as possible. It’s got so much potential.

Poor Stubbs the Zombie seems to be entirely forgotten. People get excited for old games for old Ninja Gaiden and Legend of Zelda games because of branding but Stubbs gets tossed aside for being graphically outdated. Last time I played Stubbs the Zombie, it was really fun but it was really difficult to run on modern hardware. I'll be happy to give Stubbs the Zombie another go.

I played NMH 1 back when it launched on switch and honestly, I wasn't crazy about it. It was pretty repetitive and boring imo. Maybe I just don't understand it. I heard 2 gets alot better but 1 turned me off so I didn't even invest in the 2nd. I should have probably tossed this comment in the unpopular opinions thread so I don't get bashed, but NMH3 was brought it, so it is what it is.

To be fair, as someone who pays attention to all sorts of games, old and new, I'm not sure I've heard a single person mention Stubbs the Zombie after the year it came out until today. That's an obscure one to bring back out of nowhere.

I honestly don't think anyone who wasn't hardcore into gaming at that specific time even knows it exists.

@TheFrenchiestFry Maybe Atlus is delaying Nocturne western release until after the Japan release is in a better state? It does feel like not appearing in the Direct means it's no longer a Spring release.
