Fuecoco is the only design I've liked so far and I'm not interested in open world anything or multiplayer Pokemon. So there's really nothing here for me. Gonna pass on this one.

So cool to see fans make the sequels they want to see! The Game Boy Advance is home to such amazing sprite work that this can be authentic while still looking great.
The character design is kind of ugly, but it is meant to be a spin on Wario. Wario is kind of an ugly, unconventional design that we like for his expressiveness and our familiarity with him. I could see myself getting used to how Anton looks and appreciating him more.

I always love seeing fan games, and this one looks pretty neat! I'm already interested in getting to know this cast. Got a good feeling this may become my favorite Mother series party.

I'm intrigued by the new story. I'll check this out!

Pretty cool of them to include Manaphy in the package, since transporting from Pokemon Ranger gets harder and harder. Credit where it's due, Game Freak.

Now we can play Mario Party 2 boards with costumes again!

I picked and chose both times, and I'm glad I did. Hero, Banjo & Kazooie, Terry, Byleth, Min Min, Pyra/Mythra, Kazuya, and eventually I'll probably grab Sora.
For Mii Costumes, I got Knuckles, Sans, and Shantae.

Tak, Ta-Tak, Ta-Tak
Tak and the Power of Juju!
They had to reveal Tak in Smash Bros on the same day that Nickelodeon All-Stars Brawl comes out. It's the only thing that makes sense!

Or it could be Jill & Drill Dozer. That would be the absolute best newcomer possible.

I really didn't like this one. I quit it early on and watched my brother finish his playthrough. Incredibly forgettable with annoying characters like Impa and Groose.

Well, I'm glad I've been on the fence about this one. I like art books!

I would hope a re-release would add at least 1 more racing team, though. I'm still bummed at the lack of Cream the Rabbit.

Oh, but will New Super Smash Bros Ultimate Deluxe, coming exclusively to the Nintendo Switch&Swap that will be announced next year also be complete?

I honestly don't care who it is now that Shantae is a Mii Costume. If it's Phoenix Wright, Guybrush Threepwood, or a new Zelda character (We've been due since Melee), I'll be pleasantly surprised.

That's incredibly exciting! I can't wait to see the gang back in glorious animation!

As someone who doesn't like Unleashed style levels or Breath of the Wild open world stuff, these allegations do not bode well.
My only hope is that the story with the ghost girl is interesting. Sonic games have always been at their best with a story focus and chances for Sonic or his friends to interact with each other. Ideally with multiple playable characters.

I predict there will be 3-7 games that I think look interesting in E3 as a whole, and all of them will be ignored by the awards.

I bet Super Smash Bros Ultimate will somehow get an award based on newcomer hype.

@bubicus That's actually really cool! I always think of the Game Boy Color as a system that's too old to go back to and that doesn't have much of a library. So I'm pretty surprised that Sakura Wars got some ambitious integration like that.

I had to click for the Sakura Wars image. I had no idea that made it to Game Boy Color!

Colors is one of my least favorite Sonic games. "Dispensing with that silly storytelling" was exactly my problem.
I was hoping the Sonic Advance or Sonic Rush games would make a comeback and get some recognition.

The people love them bottle caps.

I guess I shouldn't have expected anything too exciting for a distribution that we can vote on. But I saw the article and thought maybe they were distributing hard to find/hard to evolve Pokemon or something.

Doesn't effect me. I played the single player campaign and stopped there, as I've done with every Pokemon game without Battle Frontier or Pokestar Studios to give me something to do.

First one I've deleted the save data immediately after completion, though. I knew I wouldn't be revisiting this one.

Man, I wish Marnie got more screentime and development. Most interesting character of the game and she's barely in it in favor of the other rivals.

Cool to see Pauline and King Bob-Bomb, but Boo really needs to start being King Boo every time. I don't see why you wouldn't have the Luigi's Mansion tie-in there. Ditto with Captain Toad instead of Toad

I would have liked Toadette, Birdo, Sprixie Princess, or Petey Piranha over Chargin' Chuck.

I'm not going to try and take the excitement from anyone else, since my take isn't going to be the definitive one, but for me the Golden Age ran from Gamecube/GBA to Wii U/3DS. I feel like Mario (especially the RPGs), Pokemon, and Sonic are in slight slumps right now. They are foundational series for my childhood, but the shift towards different sorts of gameplay and more minimalist creative worldbuilding and casts have taken some of the excitement out of them. I've been slowly transitioning to Shantae, Fire Emblem, Ace Attorney, and discovering Dragon Quest via 3DS releases as the franchises I'd call my favorites now.

It's hard not to feel like I'm entering a different age for gaming, one where new things are showing some promise but things I used to like are starting to move away from what I liked most about them. Guess I should carry the fond memories, and replay them since I've never resold any game I've purchased, while searching for what this new age will have for me.

I give credit that Fire Emblem Heroes has a lot of decent-to-good character work and I like it. It has L'Arachel with a voice actress, which justifies its existence alone. Pokemon Masters I can't play because of my phone, sadly.

And that concludes my interest in Nintendo's mobile efforts. Can't imagine being interested in Dr. Mario or Pikmin as mobile games. I feel like I got my fill of Pikmin with the first two entries and I honestly don't feel much need to continue with that series.

Man, if F-Zero actually comes back as a mobile game, the comment section will go nuclear.

Mario, Luigi, Peach, Daisy, Toad, Toadette, Yoshi, Birdo, Wario, Waluigi, Rosalina, E, Gadd, Bowser, Bowser Jr., King Boo, Petey Piranha, Melody, Captain Syrup, Ashley, Goombella, Parakarry, Lady Bow, Vivian, Count Bleck, Prince Peasley, Queen Bean, Fawful, Popple, Nabbit, FLUDD, Boom Boom, Pom Pom, Tatanga, Wart.

Quite a robust lineup! Could be very fun if Nintendo doesn't insist on pulling a Mario Kart and padding the roster with endless Babies, Koopalings, and powerup variants for Mario and Peach.

I bet this release is in preparation for Ayumi joining Smash Bros. Sakurai wanted to add her to Melee, after all.

I dig visual novels and localized remakes of games, so I'll bite that price bullet, no problem!

Tons of fun to watch! Kudos for Drifblim as the flight Pokemon and the neat Pokemon dress-up feature.

Excited for the Smash reveal and Sega! Maybe the rest of Nintendo's stuff will be okay, and I've got an eye on Square Enix.

Shantae for Smash and more Sakura Wars please!

Given the reasoning for Next Level Games, I could see their near constant collaboration with Bandai Namco and Koei Tecmo leading to something here. Wayforward would be pretty rad for the ips, but they're fairly small as a company and I think Nintendo would be looking for expanding their offices over getting Shantae.

I'm seeing some love for Level 5 here and, as much as I'd like for them to continue on, I don't see Nintendo performing a rescue with the current stated reasoning.

Sega and Square Enix are hype additions. I'm hoping they've got some great trailers to play, since they can be just as exciting as Nintendo depending on the year.

Crossing my fingers for some Final Fantasy 16, Sakura Wars, or whatever Sonic's got in store.

While Cloud does present a kinda neat work around for Nintendo perpetually being behind the tech curve by bringing the latest stuff to their consoles anyway, I don't think I'd jump on board for it.

I think I'd rather see a collaboration come in the form of a single game that they develop together. I'm sure a mess of issues would come from trying to do that, but think of the possibilities of what their combined strengths could make!

It's about time! He should've been here long before goomba stack and dolphin, I'll tell you that much.

Dr. E. Gadd, when?

I love the first 3 Paper Marios, but since they're determined not to let the series be what it should be, I'm in favor of letting Warioware/Wario Land completely overtake it as the secondary Mario IP. I'd rather Wario's stuff be saved than endure "he's made out of paper and that's so silly!" humor. I'm not fighting scissors, okay?

My dormant wants are Kid Icarus, Custom Robo and Drill Dozer. But the problem is how I understand Nintendo's creative process. They make a gameplay prototype first, than attach an ip "face" to the prototype. Works good for staples that sell no matter what and new stuff, but revivals? You'd get completely off-genre spin-offs that fans will have no patience for in light of their long wait for a new entry. Revivals represent a challenge to completely reverse how Nintendo operates: Setting out from the beginning to be a Star Fox or Earthbound game.

Kid Icarus Uprising was saved for me by the strong writing, as the gameplay itself is somewhat frustrating. But strong writing isn't always a reliable trait from Nintendo.

I just didn't want an open world game to begin with. That's a cool starter lineup, though.

I still think Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness is the gold standard for 3D Pokemon games. New Pokemon Snap looks amazing, but could that be matched in a game that needs lots more Pokemon and animations, not to mention trainers, all up to that standard? Not sure.

I hope chibi isn't catching on, though. I didn't like it with Link's Awakening, and I don't like it here.

These two are the most exciting dlc fighters for me yet! Absolutely pumped to have Xenoblade Chronicles 2 here! I thought it would get skipped over.

-Shantae Smash reveal, Ring Fit Adventurer confirmed for next slot
-New Mario Baseball game that carries over all previous players and adds new characters that have cropped up since then
-Yarn Donkey Kong Country
-New Pokemon Snap will probably get some play
-Expecting Animal Crossing/Ring Fit Adventure updates
-Fire Emblem Echoes. I'd love a Sacred Stones remake most of all, but Genealogy would do.
-GBA online, with freshly translated Mother 3 and Fire Emblem Binding Blade as incentives
-Zelda and Metroid directs slated for later in the year

Very nervous about the multiverse concept. It remains to be seen how it will work out, of course. I'd just rather have a single Sonic inhabiting a single reality for a show. If the cast is just different Sonics meeting each other, don't know if I'll be into it.

@SmaggTheSmug Don't forget Pokemon villain Incineroar!

I'm pretty disappointed. Lara Croft was right there for a cool new Square Enix rep, Cecil & Zidane were cool options for more Final Fantasy, and Eggman would have been a cooler third party villain.

And for a crossover game, that trailer sure had a lot of focus on Sephiroth fighting Cloud. Again. It's a crossover! Have a cinematic where he fights Ganondorf or something!

This looks like the most exciting Christmas option this year! I'm stoked for it! Gonna pick it up for my brother (and myself).

I'm not seeing much similarity with Breath of the Wild, honestly.

If it's not Shantae, Phoenix Wright, or a Koei Tecmo rep like Ryu Hayabusa or Lana from Hyrule Warriors, I'm not interested in any more Third Party characters.

A new Zelda character seems overdue, since we haven't had a real Zelda newcomer since Melee. I'd also love to get Susie Haltmann or Gooey.

Maybe a new character set to premiere in Metroid Prime 4. That would be a neat appetizer.

What concerns me is what this means for the supply of those anniversary pins MyNintendo is set to give away. Stock might be so low that the whole supply is already claimed. Darn it!

I wanted the pins more than the game, and thought I'd buy the latter to get the former. Maybe I'll get lucky and my Walmart will have a copy that isn't pre-ordered. We'll see.

Honestly, I'm just not very interested in Breath of the Wild's world. I just didn't care for the game. So while Hyrule Warriors is my favorite Zelda game, I already know how this ends and don't feel motivated to play it.

On the bright side, It's not a port! Yes! A new game! Good work, Nintendo!

Now give Koei Tecmo a fighter in Smash as thank you for all the good collab work they do with you.

Sonic Adventures 1 & 2 glowed up to modern graphical standards would be beyond amazing! Also rooting for a new Sonic Storybook or Sonic RPG.

But I'll be reasonable and just ask for something that gives Knuckles/Rouge/Blaze a substantial narrative role. They get three choices there for flexibility.

Outside of just game releases, I'd be on board for a line of Sonic Amiibo too.

There are precious few games I want rereleased when I still own the original copies. Skyward Sword is at the absolute bottom of games I want to play again. I didn't find it fun or engaging.

You know what would be cool for the anniversary next year? The Oracle games. Now those are games with amazing character designs that could do with an upgrade from antiquated technology. I'd be all over that!

Still got it on my Gamecube, so I'm all set either way. Don't have to keep up with all the new-fangled crossplay these days. Wonder when Smash Bros will start excluding basic multiplayer for the convoluted kind.

I'm not sure how it's tough to have both, but hey, I'm no game developer.

The typo is embarrassing. In fact, the promotional text in general is a bit awkward, which doesn't bode well of the game's writing, unless the trailer was rushed and the in-game writing will be better polished.

That said, it looks like the gameplay itself is a pretty good recreation of the most distinctly average, middle-of-the-road Mario RPG. The mechanics are all there for a good foundation, so I think it'll probably turn out okay. Something great could even be built up from this.

Unfortunately, I don't have money to spare for a kickstarter, since I already bought some cool Shantae t-shirts this month. I wish them luck!

I am starting to wonder what Nintendo's waiting for in regards to their own announcements. Maybe their strategy is to force all of their releases to be a success by making it seem like there are no other options. Or maybe they're hoping to foster relations with third parties by stepping back to spotlight them?

I'm not mad, I'm just puzzled.

More to the point, I'm completely indifferent to the announcements here. Nothing I'm getting. I'm wondering if this new plan of doing shorter and shorter directs will work out for them, or if it's just going to keep feeling like it's too short. I'd prefer that all the Direct minis be taped together to watch in one go, rather than all the "stay tuned for the next 1-2 things later!"

I'll always stick up for the Adventure games, Heroes, and even Shadow the Hedgehog as great, enjoyable games. But I've never cared for the "Boost formula" games, as they're called. I think boosting worked better in Sonic Rush, on a 2D plane.

For 3D Sonic, I think something combining SA2 Sonic levels with Sonic Heroes' flight formation. So you have a fully-controlled Sonic to run through the level with, but Tails follows you and can give Sonic a lift across chasms instead of the ring dash doing that.

@KnightsTemplar It's got some pretty memorable tracks, I think. My favorites include:
FIGHT!
It’s Getting Scary!
In the Halls of the Ant Queen
Team, This One’s Stronger!
Work that Honey
Cruel Beast, Devourer of Journeys
Mothiva’s Grand Stand

@Crockin Sorry...
I thought people might have heard of it, but not been sure about it yet without a recommendation. I'm not being paid, I'm just trying to help the dissatisfied find something they may like.
Sorry again. I didn't know others had said the same already.

Just wanted to come in and recommend Bug Fables as something much closer to the Mario rpgs than Paper Mario will ever be again. They think the changes have improved the series, and Miyamoto will slap down anyone who thinks otherwise.
I enjoyed Bug Fables a lot, and it helped me accept that Paper Mario is a lost cause that I don't need to hold hope for anymore. Everyone should go try it! It's got so many neat, unique npc designs and imaginative worldbuilding!
