Absolutely gorgeous boxart.

It was an ok direct, Glad Goldeneye and Tears of the Kingdom was announced, was bummed out about no ports of Prime Trilogy and TP/WW

Honestly... I'm pretty disappointed with the Direct. It felt like there was a whole lot of nothing, my main problem with it is that there are way too many RPGs and farming sims - neither of which I'm truly into. There were a few good announcements at least, I do like how Mario Party 1, 2, and 3 are coming to NSO+EP (GoldenEye's very noteworthy, too), and the few new Mario Kart 8 Deluxe courses look sweet. I'm also looking forward to Pikmin 4 and Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Oh, and speaking of Pikmin, I could care less about that mobile game. I don't like mobile games, Nintendo... why are you guys telling me about it?

I'm happy for those who enjoyed the Direct, but for me, it could have been so much better. Hopefully I'll like the next one more.

@Anti-Matter have you played any tinykin.

@MarioLover92 I kinda felt the same way but wasn’t expecting much to be honest. Pikmin 4 made me happy

I'm just going to leave this here

Some people are never happy.

EDIT: AWL has same sex marriage..I can finally play this game as I want! Ok best day ever for me.

@1UP_MARIO
I have tried Tinykin demo on Switch but my right JoyCons was keep drifting so I only played for a while since the camera angle control by right analog was very important to see the environment.

If you like Ikaruga, go buy Radiant Silvergun peeps!

It's the predecessor to Ikaruga, developed for the Sega Saturn by Treasure. It's never seen a re-release except for an Xbox360 port.

Treasure is one of the absolute best when it comes to STGs. This game has been a long lost gem. Cannot express how happy I am to finally complete the pair of Radiant Silvergun and Ikaruga on Switch.

That was a fantastic Direct but at the same time was very odd. January/February are really packed much like September/October is with the reveal of stuff like Fire Emblem/Kirby/Octopath, Goldeneye is real, Tunic is coming to Switch, new info about MK8 Deluxe/XC3/Switch Sports/Splatoon 3, etc.

The odd part was December and March are empty, Advance Wars was missing even though it reappeared on the Nintendo sites very recently and only 2 tracks were announced for MK8 Deluxe DLC wave 3.

The timing of Fire Emblem Engage makes me think there'll be a November general Direct after Bayonetta 3 releases. With the exception of Pokemon Legends Arceus last year (TPC does their own thing so it's rather different), the first 1st party game of the year that's not a port/remaster/remake for every Switch year so far has been in March at the earliest. Ports/remasters/remakes don't need much of a promo cycle but Fire Emblem Engage will need a bigger promo cycle given it's a new game.

I think I need to do some negotiations with my Mom to get the expansion pass for Switch Online. I will probably not get it lol, wish me luck.

Worst direct iv seen. Only game i liked was golden eye.

@Anti-Matter cool. I’ll try out tinykin when I get the chance.

@Ninfan
Well, good games are not just shooter games only.
Other genre games are still great to try.

@Kermit1 You got an email address? I just bought you a year of NSO with the Expansion pack. I am assuming you can use the US codes in Canada.

@Kermit1
Join a group of 8 and split cost on a family plan. That's what I do. Can't beat $10/yr for Expansion Pack!

I was kinda confused when the Goldeneye trailer started up because there was a Metroid user icon on the upper left side of the screen, lol.

Glad I am not the only one...at first I thought it was N64 Remix...

Oh, and we're finally getting Tales of Symphonia Remastered! That's what's up.

But man... people complain Nintendo only does Mario, Zelda and Pokemon... yet ignore all the masterclass games they offer besides that- Xenoblade Chronicles 3, Splatoon 3, Fire Emblem Engage, Pikmin 4, an actual good 2D Kirby game, golf being added to Switch Sports, Bayonetta 3, even Fatal Frame 4 (which Nintendo does own enough to keep exclusive, even if they're letting KT publish).

Meanwhile others complain they only want Mario, Zelda and Pokemon. Yet are disappointed despite having a brand new Mario game in October, a brand new open world Pokémon releasing in November, and the sequel to Zelda Breath of the Wild releasing in May. When you only care about 3 franchises and all 3 of them are on Deck for release in the near future, what more could you reasonably want?

Some people will just never be happy no matter what.

Pikmin 4 look too good to be a Switch game, my gut feeling tell me Pikmin 4 is a Switch sucessor game.
