The direct was mid in my opinion, and no, it's not because of the lack of Smash Brothers. The only things that really peaked my interest was was Nintendo Switch Sports and the MK8 DLC. I was of course happy for Splatoon 3 and Mario Strikers, but the trailers didn't really grab me.
It was bad enough getting COVID and needing to stay home on Valentine's Day (I'm good now, don't worry), but then Nintendo had to do this to me. I'm crying.
My biggest gaming regret would be playing my 2DS instead of sleeping. This came with many downsides, such as not having enough energy to make it through the day and falling asleep in the middle of English class, not being able to hear the game I was playing because I didn't want to wake my brother up (bunk bed, ugh), and having a higher chance of getting the console taken away from me if I got caught for about a month, or 2 or 4.
But easily, the worst part: falling asleep in while playing. this happened many times, and nothing bad happened, it would just be on low battery or dead when I woke up. But one night, I fell asleep while playing, and about and hour later, I woke up. I think it was around 3am. I decided "eh, I guess I'll keep playing". I tried to turn it on, and nothing happened. I then tried to plug it in because "Hey it might be dead". So I did that, but the orange light that appears when charging a 2DS was flickering and going dim. I gave up and went back to sleep. A few days later, the 2DS was still not turning on, and that's when I realized: I had drooled on my 2DS, and it probably got water damage.
I think it's been about 3 years. I've learnt my lesson since then that sleep is more important that evolving your Rockruff at 5AM to get a Dusk form Lycanroc. (WHY MAKE ME WAIT UNTIL THEN, POKEMON ULTRA MOON!?)

Re: Feature: Our Predictions For The February 2022 Nintendo Direct
Think about it: For a long time, we've had Smash Bros news in (almost) every direct. This pattern may end with this direct.

Y'know, the name "Pokemon Legends: Arceus" implies that there could be another "Pokemon Legends" Games.
Who's up for "Pokemon Legends: Necrozma", or even better: "Pokemon Legends: Bidoof"
Edit: ...ok "Z-A" works too i guess. Bidoof will get its chance eventually
