Overall, it was a good direct. There are some surpises defintely, such as Patapon and Everybody's golf, which are Sony IPs that are once again being ported to a Nintendo system
Really like the updates regarding Legends Z-A
Story of Seasons Grand Bazaar got me hyped even though I've never played the OG DS game.
Overall, a decent direct. Nothing too crazy but there are some banger announcements. Still a good direct for the last Switch focused direct
This is a good idea considering I have a lot of digital games in my library and as someone who owns 3 Switch units (don't ask), having to swap digital games between systems will be a lot easier without the constant need of internet connection
Really excited for Z-A more than ever. I was hoping to see some returning characters aside from AZ but I really like what was shown in this trailer so far.
I'm going to take the advise of not rushing this game (even though I really want to get a Skell right away). I'm enjoying my time so far. Still amazed on how a game this big can run so well on the Switch. Just imagine this game running on Switch 2
Weird to see two Gen 2 starters. I'm definitely going for Totodile and/or Tepig. No hate for Chikorita though but it's definitely going to be my least choice out of the 3.
Really wonder how the game would go with it just being around Lumiose City though this could be a mini sanbox game. Hopefully there are other unique areas
Definitely excited for Legends Z-A though it's weird that this is more futuristic compared to Legends Arceus. Nonetheless, I'm still excited to see an actual sequel to X&Y
Pokémon Champions could be the official Pokémon Showdown we are waiting for
Surprised that there is no PS4/5 version considering this was a Vita exclusive for quite some time. Then again, this is a game meant to be played handheld so the Switch is the right system. I enjoyed the Gundam Battle series, particularly the PSP games
Most of the time I play on dock mode with the Switch so having an OLED or not doesn't affect me that much. If the Switch 2 does end up getting an upgrade with an OLED display in the future then I'd definitely consider getting one.
I have both the OG Switch and OLED Switch and the OLED display is definitely way better but at the end of the day, they're still 90% docked whenever I play
I wish they'd make it smaller like the DS and 3DS cases just to lessen the space inside. Switch cases looks very empty inside other than the cartridge and without any manuals.
Time to complete my BDSP dex. I already completed the Hisui dex (had every Pokemon in rank 10 even, which I thought back then was required for the Arceus quest)
Bought this on Switch and expected the 30fps only. Still weird to have it locked in 30fps even during battle. It's all fine and dandy but probably my gripe is the load times, especially during combat where it will take a couple of seconds before it starts compared to the PS3 version where it's immediate.
Other than that, I like this game. Has great combat mechanic, characters and story. This was the first tales game that I actually liked
Not a big Donkey Kong fan personally so I don't have any strong sentiment about his future design but you can't judge the character design based off just one frame. We need to see more official art from Nintendo
Didn't really do much damage imo but the trailer feels very safe. Not bad by any means but compare that to the 1st Switch reveal trailer, it feels like Nintendo wanted to get that reveal trailer out of the way to avoid further damages
I'm still excited to see more of the Switch 2 and I'm looking forward to April
I was expecting the direct would be February but I'm ok with this. I just want to see what the Switch 2 can offer in terms of software. The design is just as expected which I'm ok with. It's the launch titles that will make me want to get it day 1
Glad it's now official. Backwards compatibility feels like a must for the next-gen Nintendo hardware, especially with the huge library of Switch games and I'm sure Nintendo wouldn't want them to go to waste
Imagine they added from Legends Arceus and then it plays the shiny sound effect when you move your body while half awake. I'd bolt up immediately, lol.
ngl, I did not expect the Sack Boy, Ratchet and Rivet costumes in this trailer. I thought those would be PS exclusive contents but I'm glad they're included even for the Switch version. Really a nice way to share more PS IPs other than Horizon.
Definitely one of the weakest entries in the RE series (but really, just a bad RE game for the lack of horror elements and by any means, not a bad game in general). I treat this as a guilty pleasure. Leon's campaign is probably my favorite and much like RE5, RE6 is better off being played co-op than solo.
As someone who became a Nintendo fan during the late Wii era, I say I would rather that they continue walking their own path rather than keeping up with the console wars. Honestly, I just like their pilosphy when it comes to making their games rather than playing catch up with their competitors
This really shouldn't go without saying but nice to hear some clarification from Nintendo. I'm not a big fan when it comes to AI being implemented, especially with art.
The amount of time I've spent in this game but sadly, never got to finish it. Will pick this up on both the Switch (for portability) and PS5 (for the framerate)
A sequel would be nice with bigger open areas. This game has potential
Considering this is a Sony IP, I did not expect this to be on the Switch as well. Nice of Sony to actually lend one of its IP to a 3rd party publisher just to get the game remastered. Definitely a welcoming surprise.
Gives a slight sliver of hope that Gravity Rush and Ape Escape could come to Switch if Sony ever decides to lend the IP as well

Re: Poll: So, How Would You Rate The Nintendo Direct For March 2025?

Re: Talking Point: Why An LCD Screen Isn't The End Of The World For Switch 2

Re: Multiple Resident Evil Titles Might Be Getting A Next-Generation Refresh
I'd be interested in playing those 3rd person RE games with the Switch 2's joycon mouse gimmick.
Also, hoping for a RE2 and RE4 remake native ports on Switch 2

Re: Poll: Resident Evil 6 Turns 12 - Does It Really Deserve Its Dire Reputation?
Definitely one of the weakest entries in the RE series (but really, just a bad RE game for the lack of horror elements and by any means, not a bad game in general). I treat this as a guilty pleasure.
