Take as much time as you guys need, the review will be all the better for it.

Exciting news for the fans I'm sure! I haven't played the series yet but plan to, just waiting for a decent sale on the 1st two games.

Thanks for the reminder that I still need to play the first two games eventually! Series looks like fun.

I'm still playing Kirby and the Forgotten Land, going to take me an entire weekend just to max out all my copy abilities...and I still need to finish the post-game worlds.

@eaglesfly76 Agreed Kirby's been alot of fun! I just beat the main story, focusing on clearing all of the post-game worlds now.

@UltimateOtaku91 yeah we are spoiled with 2022 games for sure, even if some get delayed.

@UltimateOtaku91 Aside from what you listed though, I also plan to eventually buy these 2022 games...

Klonoa 1-2
Bayonetta 3
Digimon Survive
Prince of Persia: SoT Remake
LEGO Skywalker (Maybe Day 1)
The Quarry
Saints Row 2022
Stray (Maybe Day 1)
Tchia (Maybe Day 1)
Marvel's Midnight Suns (Maybe Day 1)
Kao the Kangaroo (Maybe Day 1)
The Lord of the Rings: Gollum (Maybe Day 1)
Sonic Frontiers (Maybe Day 1)
A Plague Tale: Requiem (Maybe Day 1)
Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora (Maybe Day 1)
Goodbye Volcano High (Maybe Day 1)
Granblue Fantasy: Relink
The Dark Pictures Anthology: The Devil in Me

@UltimateOtaku91 Yeah for sure! Personally from that list, I only see myself pre-ordering Hogwarts Legacy and God of War Ragnarok.

I might buy Gotham Knights and Forspoken, but only if they review well and the youtube walkthroughs look good.

Everything else I'm honestly either not interested in (Splatoon 3, Mario Strikers) or I'll be waiting for big discounts/sales (Fire Emblem, Xenoblade, Pokemon, Rabbids, Valkyrie, Starfield, Star Ocean, and Soul Hackers).

@DeathByLasagna @UltimateOtaku91 @sketchturner @Royalblues @rjejr @RubyCarbuncle @Ralizah @Deadlyblack @mariomaster96 @TheRedComet Hopefully the delay will be worth the wait, Nintendo games are usually not rushed and almost always deserve them staying full price for many years.

That's just my opinion though, understandable if not everyone agrees.

@rjejr Unfortunately real life got in the way, I'm barely halfway into Forgotten lands and I work the next four days in a row...

Oh well, always next weekend XD.

@HammerGalladeBro That's unfortunate! Hopefully one day the anime will be released on Blu-Ray.

@rjejr I unfortunately am not that patient haha. I'll probably have Kirby beat by tomorrow night.

@Gamer83 I still need to play Forbidden West, owned it since launch day and haven't touched.

My OCD insists I do a complete replay of Zero Dawn, which I don't have the time for lol.

@rjejr I just recently beat the tree boss, about to tackle the Amusement Park area.

Hopefully you've gotten further as well!

@Anti-Matter I've been meaning to ask, how old are you? I'm 33 and have mild autism (high functioning/aspergers).

Kirby, Kirby, and more Kirby! This game has consumed my life this weekend.

After I finally beat it later today or tomorrow, will return to playing Super Mario Odyssey.

@Gamer83 Also been loving it alot! Seriously hoping the game performs well enough for a sequel.

@Anti-Matter You will play Kirby eventually though, yes?

@Gamer83 @Tharsman @Nightcrawler71 @rjejr I got my copy of Kirby yesterday, just finally beat the first main boss Gorimondo!

Really loving the game, I haven't played a Kirby game since the N64 era .

Please let there be a sequel and/or another new entry that is a true open world game (no linear paths).

I'd buy that day one for sure.

I must admit they are cute, but I'd have no use for them in my house.

@RubyCarbuncle I got my copy of Kirby yesterday, just finally beat the first main boss Gorimondo!

Really loving the game, I haven't played a Kirby game since the N64 era .

@HammerGalladeBro Where are you able to watch the Kirby anime?

I can only find free but shady/illegal streaming sites (which I refuse to use).

Great review! I just beat the first major boss in the game on Wild Mode, Gorimondo was really tough.

Sad news, but at least they didn't cancel the game.

@progx @AstroTheGamosian @Banjo- @dustinprewitt All that's left now is Xenoblade Chronicles X, surely we'll get a port announced this year with a 2023 release window?

Awesome direct far as I'm concerned, best one of 2022 so far.

Great direct as far as I'm concerned! Looking forward to playing all of these games.

@BenAV @ryu_san @RetroBox @Lony85 @PharoneTheGnome @Tyranexx @BoostPower @rjejr Agreed guys. Day one purchase for me, I may finally re-setup my Switch Dock with this game.

I can finally check this franchise out, very happy news!

Free updates are always welcome! Looking forward to playing this eventually.

I've never played the games before, so looking forward to trying them out!

Shame about them skipping Mother 3, maybe if these ports perform well enough?

Free demos are always appreciated! I'll check this game out eventually.

Klonoa hype! I've never played the series before but always heard good things from my friends.

However I shall wait longer for the PS5 version, I need my trophies.

Switch version only that's sourced from the Wii port?

Hard pass, will wait until this is ported to PS5/PS4.

This is not what we were expecting, where is our Mario Kart 9?

I hear this is a sequel or spinoff to Three Houses? I'm excited either way hehe .

Free to play means I'll be able ti give this a try soon, but shame it's not coming to Switch.

(I also own a PS5 and Xbox One X)

I loved the recent Nintendo Direct personally. Looking forward to the following games/DLC...

2021:
Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity Wave 2 DLC - October 29

2022:
Project Triangle Strategy - March 04
Rune Factory 5 - March 22

TBA 2022:
Kirby and the Forgotten Land - Spring 2022
Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak DLC - Summer 2022
Bayonetta 3
Chocobo GP

@MSpudley @LouBlu08 At least they do have voices! The Paw Patrol games had silent pups/dogs.

RIP Super Mario 3D All Stars, happy I bought it before this happened.

I'm looking forward to Skyward Sword HD and No More Heroes 3 the most.

I had a great time watching, looking forward to the next Nintendo Direct!

@ryancraddock I'm having trouble finding a physical copy of Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition...should I settle for digital or will Nintendo eventually reprint more physical copies?

@Debo626 Nope, nothing of the sort! Just my wishful thinking.

$10 is indeed a fair price for the story DLC, though hopefully this doesn't mean it's on the shorter side.

@masterLEON @Slate-Hood @Mach_Rider @Retron Look above at comment #52.

@Gooberfish @leo13 @RadioHedgeFund @Bobobiwan @Cotillion I'm hoping we'll be getting a XenoBlade Chronicles X Switch announcement later in the year. Fingers crossed guys.

@Debo626 @Paul1994 @Arkay @Shworange @BoyfriendOfDeath I'm hoping we'll be getting a XenoBlade Chronicles X announcement later in the year. Fingers crossed guys.

@Darkyoshi98 @zool They could still announce the Switch Pro in 2020 though, with a 2021 release window.

@Nickolaidas The dark side has cookies though :3.

I also don't own a Switch yet, waiting to see if the Pro rumors are true.
