I enjoyed the Direct. Seeing a new WarioWare game is nice and I also liked the 3rd party reveals. I'm not surprised to see more Wii U ports and I'm not too opposed to it. Super Smash Bros. was a reveal that got me very hyped, especially since it is looking like a new game. Overall I would say this was a pretty good Direct and I'm looking forward to seeing more of Smash Switch which will probably next be seen at E3.
I think Fire Emblem has a great chance of happening, since it was first said to be in development around one year ago in a Direct after the January presentation.
Super Mario Odyssey, Sonic Mania, Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy, and now Mega Man 11. There's been a lot for people who like classic platformers. Now let's see a new Rayman game.
@Bolt_Strike I think they might be explaining things in less detail because a common complaint about Sun and Moon was how they revealed too much. While I can't say things such as the Pokemon Ride minigames will have a ton of depth, I think the game will have enough new content. They did say this would be like an "Ultra" third version, whether you consider that a good thing or not.
I like all of the characters included in this pack, though I hope in the future they represent more Fire Emblem games. It'd be cool getting a second season of DLC with packs based on Shadows of Valentia, New Mystery of the Emblem, and The Blazing Blade. They'll most likely save The Binding Blade and Tellius for a sequel.
I enjoyed Splatoon and I'm interested in learning more about ARMS. This Direct isn't exclusively about those two games though, and I'd like to see a new Fire Emblem Warriors character revealed.
I'm extremely hyped, but I'm going to watch the presentation with realistic expectations, or "hype responsibly". Still wanting to see more of that 3D Mario game preview we saw in the Switch teaser, it's supposed to be a "Breath of the Wild" for Mario.
@Aurelis You definitely have a point, and it'll be no Fire Emblem. But, by the least we could see some interaction between characters like Daisy and Waluigi. (They both have to be in if it's gonna star minor characters in the Mario universe.)
Sounds interesting and it could work. If this is true, than the main character seems to be Yoshi but it's supposed to be a FE-style game. To be great I think we are gonna need a good story, since games like FE usually have a lot of story. It also looks like the main army will consist of less famous Mario characters with Yoshi leading them. I think perfect characters for this role are: Nabbit, Waluigi, Daisy, Captain Toad, Diddy Kong, the babies, and Birdo. This is very interesting, it could be an excellent game or a disaster. Also, Ubisoft South Park: The Stick of Truth, South Park: The Fractured But Whole, and The Child of Light under their belt. If this rumor is true (and I can see it being true), then I'll definitely wanna see where this goes. We'll probably be able to tell what direction this goes in by its first trailer if we see any gameplay.
And one more thing, Ubisoft was teasing a surprise game in development, it could be this.
I personally LOVE the Wii U, it has some of my favorite games. But, I think Nintendo tried a little to hard with the casual market. Most gamers don't want a GamePad, they don't need a gimmick. And while I like the gimmicks Nintendo has done, I think the Nintendo Switch got it just right. From what we've seen, its games will play regularly like a PlayStation, GameCube or N64 game. But, it has something that makes it worth playing over the others and a gimmick, you can take it on the go. I don't think it'll replace the 3DS, as I think it will be replaced with a dual-screen console. But, while the Wii U lacked good 3rd party support, it has many excellent titles such as Splatoon, Super Mario Maker, and Super Smash Bros. And while a lot of people view it as a failure, there will be people like me who remember it for the amazing titles it had.
I haven't ever played a Bayonetta game, but from the small glimpse we saw of her amiibo, I want it. I also really want Cloud Strife's amiibo the most. Also, why has everyone forgotten about the Corrin amiibo?
The storeroom feature is a very welcome addition, as that was one of my few, if not my only complaint about the game. These new features are really cool, I'm glad to see some new stuff for Animal Crossing: New Leaf since it looks like its developers are busy with Splatoon and we won't be getting a new game for a while.
Finally! Raichu is getting some love, and in the form of an awesome Alola Form. I'm a huge fan of Alola Forms, and Alolan Raichu might just be my favorite now.

Re: Talking Point: Splatoon 2 is Set to be a Vital Early Arrival on Nintendo Switch
I really hope the best for Splatoon 2, it's a great IP that I'm happy to see get the attention it does. Hopefully, ARMS sees good success too.
