Highly recommend The Gardens Between!

Don’t like the grid system but I think this could be the definitive version of the game if it plays well. Not sure if I’ll get it at full price though.

Played it a bit yesterday and it was a little hard to get used to but once I did it was a lot of fun. Not sure if I could justify paying $25 for Cadence of Hyrule though.

The reaction overall seems to be really positive and I’m glad for everyone who loved it. It’s just that this year’s announcements weren’t for me, not being a huge fan of Luigi’s Mansion, Animal Crossing, or even BOTW. I do think that next year is going to be absolutely bonkers for video games!

Disappointed in this news but I don’t usually transfer my Pokémon anyway so it’s not a big deal, and I expect they’ll add support for all Pokémon sooner or later. The lack of Megas or Z-Moves is rough though.

Looks like September is the new December!

The lack of a date is a little worrying though overall I was really pleased with what they showed of this game. I'm not much of a Luigi's Mansion fan but I might still give this one a try.

As an extension of the K. Rool trailer, it was absolutely fantastic. Doubted that Banjo-Kazooie would come to Smash but this was definitely one of the highlights of an otherwise decent Direct.

Just want to say that Crypt of the Necrodancer is FOUR DOLLARS as part of Nintendo's E3 sale! That's crazy cheap!

Great news, especially that it releases today! Never played the originals except for a bit of Secret of Mana but I might have to check this out!

Still a waste of money, but still nice for them to try and make it a lesser one I guess.

Surprised for a sequel to be revealed this early and for it to be a direct one too. I fully expect for it to be one of Nintendo's holiday games next year!

Might try it as it's not that expensive and won't take up too much of my time.

Makes complete sense, opens room for games further down the line at E3. Not a lot has been revealed yet so I’m pretty excited!

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

Don’t know why studios think they have to have human characters for all these video game adaptations rather than respecting the original universe but it looks so bad, it might be enjoyable.

The gameplay isn’t that great, the visuals aren’t too impressive but the amazing story and soundtrack MORE than make up for it. A must-play for anyone who likes story-driven games!

I think it's pretty likely due to the Best Buy leaks. If not this week, then definitely near the end of the month.

Will wait to see impressions of this but now I’m actually considering buying the kit.

Ace Attorney has one of the best stories of any video game series I've ever played. Highly recommended to anyone who hasn't given it a shot before.

I feel the same way about Majora's Mask. A lot of people love it but I've never been able to enjoy it.

Don’t usually play boss rush games but Gunman Clive 1 and 2 were great so I’ll definitely pick this up.

Not my type of game, but great news!

Nice to have Startropics!

Already have the games on 3DS, but if you haven’t tried them yet they are a must-play on any system!

Would love to try demos all of these games but I don’t have money to waste on things I might not like.

The weakest Direct in a while for me. Not only where there odd pacing issues, the only announcement I was hyped about was Super Mario Maker 2. I’m still excited for Yoshi, Dragon Quest, and Fire Emblem, but I’m only just as excited as them as I was before the Direct. BOXBOY and Captain Toad DLC were nice surprises but it really seemed like the opportunity to announce a BOXBOY collection so we could play all the games on Switch, and more content for Captain Toad is great but they should have made more than 18 courses if they wanted to definitively convince me to buy the Switch version (as I already have the Wii U one). Astral Chain looked interesting but I need more info about it before deciding to make a purchase.

The big elephant in the room for me was the Link’s Awakening remake. It’s not my favorite Zelda game to begin with, but I was open to the concept of a reimagining. The issue I have is that the art-style looks way too fake and cutesy for a Zelda game (in my opinion, of course). I just can’t get used to it, and if it was closer to the ALBW or even Spirit Tracks styles I would have liked it a lot more. Oh well.

P.S. Tetris Battle Royale and Daemon X Machina demo were great announcements too, don’t want to forget those!

Yes! Ace Attorney’s soundtrack is absolutely phenomenal.

Epic Yarn is one of my favorite Kirby games so if the new content is worth it, I’ll gladly pick up this remake. Would be a worthy final purchase for the good, old 3DS.

Would love to try a demo of this!

@CharlieSmile This is like if I didn’t want to play Celeste because the main character is female. Personally, I feel that the main chracter’s gender should not influence your decision to play a game (although I do agree that we need representation in video games).

Would love to see an M&L game on Switch, but the last new and creative entry in the series was Dream Team (or arguably the original BiS). I’ve been so disappointed with how AlphaDream has been the spirit to make fun and original M&L games in recent years.

It’s actually surprisingly simple.

Still have the original so will skip this.

Yeah right, the “Deluxe” version... even though it removes several challenges and adds almost nothing.

Two years after the Switch’s release, Nintendo is still relying on Wii U games to support their system. In a recent commercial, they advertised NSMBU, MK8, and BOTW; the only Switch exclusive in the ad was Super Mario Odyssey. I think the Switch is great system but we cannot deny how the Wii U is responsible for much of its success.

Blossom Tales looks like a fun game.

@MH4 Ash Paulsen of GameXplain would love that last one.

I have friends who still play Mario Kart Wii more than 10 years later!

If it is true, that would be great news, and definitely on my radar!

For only $4 this is a must-buy! Lots of fun on any and every platform.

Wish Smash had the Switch’s easy-to-use video capture feature instead of relying on easily lost replays.

Already have on Wii U. Great games.

Would download but my Switch doesn’t have enough storage and I don’t want to shell out extra money right now for a micro SD card. The available space on the Switch is ridiculous.

Cool, an amiibo I actually have!

Can't wait to play Smash; will also try out the Katamari Damacy demo.

All I need is a new Ace Attorney game!

Fun game; not my type but I enjoyed the several hours I spent with it. Seemed like there was a lot of effort put into it, so congrats to the devs!

Will definitely get that demo!

A new Salmon Run map?! I’ll definitely have to buy an Online subscription now!
