Thank you for everything, Iwata-san.

No Nintendo Direct until 2025.

Dragon Quest is a force of nature in Japan.

Out of the nominees, I'd like to see Astro Bot or Metaphor win Game of the Year.

30 years of some of the best 2D platforming ever made. I think the biggest strength of the original games is all the variety of the animal buddies.

Great news. The best Nintendo library lives on.

I'm not crazy about random encounters, but the game looks absolutely gorgeous. I'm so ready.

Definitely. I'd like to own all Xenoblade games on Switch.

I've tried it out and added about 20 songs to my playlist across Mario, Zelda, Star Fox, Donkey Kong Country, and Mario Kart. It works well, but the track selection is pretty sparse.

I'm glad to see Nintendo make their music more readily available.

I'll still use my Wii U for Smash 4, Splatoon 1, Virtual Console, and Super Mario Maker 1 levels I downloaded before online shut down.

Holy crap, I wasn't expecting this. It's amazing that the entire franchise will now be playable on Switch.

GG Team Ninja. We wizards tried.

I wouldn't be surprised if F-Zero GX and Kid Icarus Uprising were the rumored Nintendo remasters.

I'm excited to play all of the new boards. This game truly does look fantastic.

Damn it, bought the game digitally thinking it wouldn't get a physical release. Oh, well, I'll support the developers with a double dip.

F-Zero Climax finally releasing outside of Japan is huge.

I would like to see the next game try combining an open world with more traditional dungeons.

25 years of greatness. Thank you, Monolith Soft, and Happy Birthday!

@tabzer Well, that's a bummer.

@tabzer Sounded like both to me.

I'm excited to play it even if some elements of Echoes of Wisdom look like Tears of the Kingdom but top down. The Still World has me most intrigued. I always love second overworlds in Zelda games.

The Grand Festival was amazing. I spent 15 minutes just basking in the glory of the Splatoon idols performing on stage. I thought the hub was also a nice reference to the Splatoon 3 reveal trailer. It was an amazing send-off to the first decade of Splatoon. Here's to many more.

I'm interested in seeing how the world of Splatoon would look like in the past so that gets my vote although future is tempting as well.

I have so many good memories playing LeafGreen on my GBA while my brother played FireRed. They set the bar high for Pokémon remakes, and they're my preferred way to revisit Kanto.

Glad to hear that Capcom delivers yet again. I'll pick up the physical in November.

All of the boards look fantastic. I'm excited to play.

I'm all for this. The price is reasonable so I'm picking it up.

I played the first two levels so far.

The combat is really fun, and I love how you have to explore the levels thoroughly to find all the secrets.

Some of those fun facts that you can find being toilet humor related caught me off guard, though.

Pauline is the new Rosalina. She'll be in many Mario games for years to come.

This looks so much more like Advance Wars than Reboot Camp.

Konami continues to deliver with their Castlevania collections.

Aww, that's a shame that there is no English voice work. This is a pick up eventually.

The variety in the Direct was good even if only a few games personally interested me.

Love that Capcom keeps bringing out the collections.

Another fantastic collection to add to the Switch library.

@anoyonmus I would say Advance Collection first since Dawn of Sorrow is a sequel to Aria of Sorrow.

This was the biggest surprise of the Direct for me.

More Castlevania on Switch is always a good thing!

I'll be picking up the physical release although I'm not a fan of the recent trend of physical releases of some games coming months after they're released digitally.

Yes! So glad to see developers embrace Wario Land's classic gameplay.

I'd love to see a Star Wars Rogue Squadron collection.

The standard edition is sufficient for me.

This is such a weird place for the Pokémon anime to end up. I imagine WildBrain must have shelled out a few million.

Rest in peace to an amazing voice actress in videogames and anime. She voiced Flamme just recently in Frieren. Such a sad loss.

I'll be picking it up physically.

I'll check out the Direct. Another place to visit when I hopefully travel to Japan one day.

Capcom has done an amazing job rereleasing their older games in compilations.

This game looks absolutely gorgeous.

@Maxz Thanks. You make an excellent point about language localization being the bottleneck for modern games being more readily accessible to audiences. I think at the very least first party games from the Big 3 should be playable in English with how big the English speaking audience is, but I know that having French, Spanish, and arguably German helps to reach more players in Europe, Canada, and Mexico.

Good news. Releasing games in only one region should be a thing of the past.
