@NintendoLife, how come there's no survey asking us how we'd rate the Direct? I want to know what the overall consensus was.

@Lizuka Mostly Spinoffs, the main series was never that frequent. However, I concede I do have had some bias towards Fire Emblem since I feel that Nintendo leans on it a bit as their Fantasy RPG series, and I am really hoping Golden Sun gets another chance. It's obviously not how it works, but I was young and irrational. In any case, I'm just happy that others are happy.

@Lizuka I mean from 2015 to 2019 there was a game every two years, plus multiple spinoffs. I don't think any other Nintendo franchise has ever had a release schedule that frequent.

"Samus Racing coming soon. Join Samus, Ridley, Mother Brain, Kraid, Sylux, and many more on a galaxy hopping, high intensity race to the death!"

I'm probably not going to buy this accessory but if a cheap third party version drops that I can use just to try it comes out, maybe I'll give it a go.

I accept that it's been a while since we last got a Fire Emblem game but there were so many coming out so rapidly for a few years there that my first reaction was "UGH". I'm happy for the fans of the series but I hope Nintendo doesn't ride the spinoff train into the ground this go around.

@Anachronism I'm not sure if something is lost in the translation there, but what is described here vs. what Nintendo usually puts out doesn't match up. I'm sure they let anyone pitch ideas, but I don't think they put everything in. While I have lots of criticism of modern Nintendo games, feature creep is not one of them.

@Pillowpants Heck yeah! The Golden Sun will rise again!

As always, my wild card is SOMETHING related to Golden Sun. On a more possible note, I'd love to see Baldur's Gate 3 on Switch. On a likely note, I'd like to see a release date for Metroid Prime 4

And for Mario, Mario Galaxy 2 and/or Double Dash on Switch 2 would be great.

Wow, I really thought a Friday Direct was unlikely.

At this point, every other developer and publisher in the world should be rallying behind Palworld and defending game designs as unpatentable or they are going to be next on the Nintendo's target list.

Golden Sun Sequel/Remake confirmed for the Nintendo Direct that is TOTALLY happening on Friday. The Golden Sun shall rise again!

@Munchlax Agreed, I think it was supposed to refer to AAA releases.

@Tyranexx I'd happily take that game. I love the 2 player mode.

I was kind of hoping that the name "Ivalice Chronicles" meant it would include Advance and A2 as well

"We're releasing Rayman Legends again!"

I hope I'm wrong but I'm worried this is coming out too close to Mario Kart World. I know these are very different games based on the direct, but will the average person know that? On top of that, you're gonna cut into Mario Kart's online player base and split the online community. I hope I'm wrong and I wish nothing but success for Sakurai.

I'm wondering if Nintendo DOES know this but doesn't have enough games to release before Christmas and had to put this out to fill the calendar.

Just wondering if this had been updated recently, since a lot of other companies make cards now and I wonder if any are worth trying.

Look, games can be both, but I feel like Miyamoto's viewpoint here is skewed. He always feels the need to innovate on a game's sequel even if it's not necessary. When that happens, you get games like Star Fox Zero. There was nothing wrong with the previous Star Fox games but he refused to work on a new one unless he could do something different.

Art doesn't necessarily have to push the medium forward. Art exists to be enjoyed.

My big 3 outside of new maps and new characters/costumes are:

-More Battle Mode Options - Nintendo seems to try SO HARD to make battle mode not a thing. I don't understand why they keep removing the things that make it fun. Bring back smaller maps, and modes like Renegade Roundup.

-Make free roam more interesting - Typically you drive around, find a challenge, complete it, and never come back again. It'd be cool if there were events that happen across the map that force you to go back to areas you've already completed.

-Map Markers - LET ME MARK THINGS DOWN SO I KNOW TO COME BACK TO THEM

I don't even need a full remake, just clean up the graphics, remove tetramaster (maybe replace it with Triple Triad), and give me an option to skip the long before battle cutscenes, and I'll give you my damn money.

Well, I was going to say good, but my dock broke last night so...

Everyone in this comment section is like "Easy fix, we boycott EA." Problem is, we are not the audience they make their money from. It's the people buying Madden/FIFA every year, the people buying every Sims expansion, and most importantly everyone buying cosmetics in live service games.

If you could get all of them to stop buying into EA, then sure, it could work.

I'm happy to hear that more are coming out, but I want to wait to hear about the reliability of the brand.

Oh man, I hope they add mouse support for Switch 2. I love this game but I grew up playing it on PC, so playing on a controller just feels off.

@MysteriousMudkip I just looked that up but it looks like it just added the modifications that were added in the console versions of Pixel Remasters (font choice, music choice, boosts, etc.)

This is the pixel remasters all over again. Why is Square so afraid of including extra content? I'd say it's so they can charge it for DLC later but they haven't done that yet with the PR games so I don't know.

I saw this promo and had almost the exact same chuckle reaction. Sad they can't even be bothered to take their own photo.

To play Wind Waker in widescreen, get a Wii U and a copy of Wind Waker HD.

I just want to hear a Nintendo execs voice say in a 100% serious tone: "Oh no, Diddy's been imprisoned! It's up to you to bust him out!"

For the $50 extra USD I paid to get it bundled with my Switch, it's fine but I wish there was a BIT more. If I had paid $80 for this separately? I'd be pissed.

Someone needs to update the disclaimer on this article because it says that the article only includes mainline 2d and 3d platformers, but clearly that's changed.

I never upgraded to an OLED so I don't feel like I'm missing out. But I can see how it would be bothersome to those that did.

@Spider-Kev That's fine, it's about the journey, not the destination.

I've been driving around looking for Peach Coins and ? Panels and have found well over 3000 coins just doing that.

@GreenXIII Right? When I saw the new title, I thought maybe it was a compilation. Maybe Advance will end up on NSO.

I'm still waiting on Nintendo to send me my info. They just sent me a thing saying I was in line

I got an email from Nintendo that I'm still in the pre-order line but I'm not holding my breath for that.

In regards to @JaxonH and their star letter. Nintendo always seems to push their gimmick HARD during launch to help sell the console, then they pull back on them once they have a solid install base. Doubly so for failed gimmicks. Even successful ones like motion controls on the Wii and the touch screen on the DS weren't as shoehorned in later on in the systems life. I'm sure the mouse control will be pushed hard at the beginning but we'll see less of it as we go on.

@Zufolobelisk I’m not sure if you replied to the wrong person but I don’t understand how your comment relates to mine.

They knew everyone was going to play as Cow so they didn't bother adding anyone else.

@RiasGremory It will probably be sold out then. Their website is already down from all the traffic going to the site.

"Don't worry, we have plans to stop scalpers."

"We couldn't have seen this coming."

Give me Skies of Arcadia Legends please

I'm a bit bummed that they aren't already working on Banjo. I heard they were working with Microsoft and hoped that was what they were working on.

Your Switch will brick itself with a picture of crying Miyamoto.

Why is DK wearing overalls?

I have a Wii U so I can play it on that, but I'm still annoyed that it's not coming to Switch 2.

Hope Knockout Mode isn't a replacement for Battle Mode.

Anyone who has read Reggie's autobiography might remember how he had to fight to have Wii Sports packed in with the Wii, and how Miyamoto said "We do not give away our software."

It really feels like that mentality has won out even when it's clear that it shouldn't. 1,2,Switch should have been a Switch pack in and this should be a Switch 2 pack in.
