I agree with the vast majority of inclusions even if not their exact placement. I'm glad to see Wario Land 4, Wave Race 64, and The Legend of Zelda A Link Between Worlds get their flowers.
Really great trailer! I'm super excited for the Galaxy movie! I love the Rosalina's story book reference. My two small gripes are Bowser Jr.'s voice sounding overly manly and the Odyssey and Wonder references in a Galaxy movie being a bit too much. But I suppose those references give more context to the world if we do get future Odyssey and Wonder movies.
I'm very excited to try out Kirby Air Riders. I never played the original on GameCube back in the day. This game looks like a labor of love. Thank you, Sakurai and everyone else who worked on it.
Makes sense. Between Mario Kart and Pokémon, Nintendo already has two best selling franchises on Switch. DK Bananza is also pushing DK to new heights. Crazy that the Switch 2 already has such momentum before a new 3D Mario, 3D Zelda, Super Smash Bros., Animal Crossing, and Splatoon.
Sadly outsourcing to cheaper countries is becoming more and more common. I don't know how people are supposed to survive in this race to the bottom as less jobs are available and prices continue to increase.
I'm currently interested in Metroid Prime 4, Pokémon Legends Z-A, Hyrule Warriors Age of Imprisonment, Galaxy 1+2, Kirby Air Riders, and Fire Emblem. Maybe the Resident Evil games too if they're full physicals on cart.
Not the craziest Nintendo Direct, but it was a solid 8/10 for me. I think the lack of a giant game will upset some people, but it was good for what we got.
I'm glad we got the expected Mario movie trailer, but I did not expect it to be a Galaxy movie. I'm so hyped. Galaxy 2 finally on Switch is also hype!
I'm less excited for Super Mario Bros. Wonder Switch 2 Edition because the game is still relatively new. But it is a great game. So good on Nintendo for supporting it more.
Hyrule Warriors Age of Imprisonment releasing in November is earlier than expected. And Metroid Prime 4 still made it this year!
Fire Emblem, Yoshi, and Mario Tennis all look solid, but they're not system sellers. This is my cue to finally play Three Houses and Engage.
DK Bananza already getting paid DLC makes me think it was held off. Not a fan of that. Even scummier is Pokémon Legends Z-A getting DLC announced before release.
I'm glad Resident Evil 7-9 are coming to Switch 2. That's great to have them on the go.
The biggest third party announcement for me, though, was the Dragon Quest VII remake. Totally unexpected, and it looks gorgeous.

The bike looks out of place, but the rest of the game is stunning so I'll give Retro the benefit of the doubt.
Re: Nintendo Showcases Every Switch And Switch 2 Direct Game In New Infographic

Re: Super Mario Galaxy 1 + 2 Prices Are Live, And It's Sticker Shock Time
Nintendo sure loves overcharging for their older games.
Re: Pokémon Legends: Z-A Is Getting DLC Featuring Two Different Mega Raichu
DLC announced before the game is released is so scummy. The Pokémon Company is so greedy.
