@KBuckley27 I'm ok with a lie like that

I would go with Bouken Jidai Katsugeki Goemon on PS2. I was a big Goemon fan as a kid (and still am), and I was so excited for Bouken Jidai, but it never was released here. It took me 15 years to finally play it, after I learned enough japanese and imported a japanese PS2. It was a very special experience, to finally play an old game that I was so excited about as a kid.
The game is good, but it was made better by that context. If I could forget this game, I could relive that feeling.

The announcement of Mameda no Bakeru

I absolutely loved Disney Illusion Island, so I'm happy we'll get more content.
It's currently my GOTY 2023 (yes, above TOTK), but it will probably lose that spot when I'll finally receive my copy of Mameda no Bakeru

@RupeeClock Yep it's a shame. It will probably be easy to play even in japanese though, like most Goemon games. But it looks so good, it could do well outside Japan. So yep it's a shame...

Let's not forget Otogi Katsugeki Mameda no Bakeru: Oracle Saitarou no Sainan, which will probably be my GOTY.

I'm so excited.

Konami's most exciting new release isn't Metal Gear Solid

it's Super Bomberman R 2

@Incognito_D I disagree. Selling the Stadium games without any way to transfer Pokemon would be an insult (and probably why they were not available on Virtual Console on Wii and Wii U). Making the games available on the NSO service, without additional fee, is not an insult. It's not perfect, but it's better than nothing.

I'm overhyped for Mameda no Bakeru

Best announcement of the Direct. Goemon is my favorite video game series, I'm super excited for this game.

It was a really good Direct. And my highlight is not in that list because it's exclusive to the JP version of the Direct. Mameda no Bakeru, the Ganbare Goemon spiritual successor from Good Feel looks amazing and I can't contain my excitement.

"Which Version Of Zelda: Link's Awakening Is Your Favourite?"

Yes

The first I played was FF7 on PC. The first I finished was FF3 on DS. And my favorite is FF Crystal Chronicles

@Big_Fudge Said no one ever

I want Konami Krazy Racers, I loved that game!

Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition >>> Age of Calamity >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Cadence of Hyrule

@GameOtaku They are only available to subscribers as a mean to get more subscribers. If they were available in the eshop, a bunch of people would not subscribe to NSO

Like, you want to play Ocarina of Time, you have to get the NSO + Expansion Pack subscription. It's their business strategy.

Erf Mario Odyssey again... It's like there's only 3 games on Switch...

After the NES icons from a couple of months ago, I hope we'll get SNES icons soon. And maybe N64 icons at one point.

(Edit one day later: Thanks Nintendo)

That's a very difficult questioBalladOfTheGoddessn to answer

@dartmonkey Thank you

RIP Nintendo Direct for this week

@PanFriedSoup We got 5 (6 in Europe) of the 26 games made in that franchise

It's GOEMON TIME

I still don't understand why they never made a sequel...

@unoclay It's not 100% clear what is Nintendo's current view on Birdo's identity. But trans is not the same as non-binary

@Picton123 What do you mean, they released 8 tracks last time. Each wave is 8 tracks.

Like everyone above 30, Hook on the SNES.

In japanese, it's ライブ・ア・ライブ. So it's /ˈlaɪv ə ˈlaɪv/

Mario Odyssey again?? That sucks

@Boldfoxrd Completely agree. Back in the day, I remember hearing a lot of people ignoring this game, just because of the art style.
People love it nowadays, but it was not love at first sight.

@StarPoint Might not mean anything. If they have 20 mins of stuff to showcase, it's indeed better to do it in its own direct instead of in the general direct. Smash Ultimate did that in 2018 and non-Smash fans didn't like it.

Knuckles finally doing his job

@MasterGraveheart It's not the same game. They will continue to sell Super Bomberman R. Super Bomberman R Online is very different.

@TKundNobody I agree that it's confusing, and very bad naming, but Super Bomberman R and Super Bomberman R Online are two completely different games. Super Bomberman R is a traditional Bomberman game, with a story mode, and classic multiplayer. Super Bomberman R Online is a free-to-play battle royale game, it doesn't have a story mode or the classic multiplayer formula.

@talllennart and there won't be probably, as they are available in the eshop in the Castlevania Anniversary Collection

@Not_Soos We can't assume that any game from the GBA datamine will happen. They might have just used those roms for testing the GBA emulator.

Mystical Ninja let's go!

Samurai Warriors 5 deserves to be higher, it's a great game. I just think not enough people played it to rank it properly.

@Antraxx777 I love your retro Adol picture

Ys: The Oath in Felghana is one of my favorite games ever. I'll gladly rebuy it for Switch.

I can't wait to receive my imported copy of the game...

@Purgatorium The reason is that Marvelous, owner of the series, doesn't own the Harvest Moon name and can't use it anymore.

Thursday is my birthday, it would be a great timing to finally add my favorite game, The Legend of the Mystical Ninja, to the SNES library.

I shouldn't drop it, but I can throw it, right?

I was hoping for a release date for this game. I got even better

I'd like to see if we get a Switch release date for Getsufumaden: Undying Moon. I didn't play the early access version on Steam, I'm waiting for the Switch release.

@Clyde_Radcliffe I think most of the games that need a Controller Pak don't support rumble. But, for games that support both (like Winback), they should have done a solution to automatically switch to Controller Pak when saving/loading, and then switch to Rumble Pak anytime else. It's a bit more work sure, but save states shouldn't replace the real way to save the game. Using save states to save isn't faithful to the original experience.

Also, personally, I would prioritize Controller Pak over Rumble Pak anytime, but that might just be me.

@Link_of_Hyrule Mr. Goemon is the first game in the series. It's a fun game, but it's nowhere as fun as the SNES and N64 games.

@Link_of_Hyrule Yes! The Switch really needs more Goemon games, Mr. Goemon isn't enough.

@Desrever this is not the same game as Super Bomberman R that was released in 2017.

... But I consider Super Bomberman R a superior game, but I'm not a fan of battle royales
