Every new thing I hear about this game makes me more excited.

Once again, Okami and Ace Attorney are highly recommended.

Owned the GBC version a while back so I'm excited to try out its big brother (assuming it's a quality port, of course).

Treehouse probably thought of her when coming up for localized villager names, but I doubt the villager was created entirely with her in mind, personality and all.

@Desrever I love the core gameplay of Splatoon so much it’ll never get old for me, but I can see where you’re coming from. Personally, I would have been more excited for Splatfests if they weren’t Turf War only - it’s by far my least favorite mode.

I think making a Lego Super Mario Minifigures line would do a lot for those who want standard figures and aren't the biggest fans of the direction of this theme.

It isn't Spencer's job to sell Switch games. I think the expectation of games coming to Switch isn't exclusive to Microsoft but a reflection of the Switch's success.

I liked it enough. Normally I’m not a fan of shadow drops but it made sense for this Direct with no new huge announcements. If people had been hyping it up for a day or two they would have been massively disappointed. Xenoblade and Bravely Default look phenomenal and I’m excited for the new Smash character and Episode I Racer but we still know virtually nothing about the second half of the year. If Nintendo is saving all their cards for June it could be the best mid-year Direct in a long time.

Already own two copies of the original but this looks stunning. Day one purchase for me.

A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.

If the first two Dark Forces games came to Switch I would buy all four of them in a heartbeat.

It seems fun, and I'll probably try it anyway given the low price.

Since there is currently no revenue being gained by playing a game containing copyrighted material (besides the purchase of Dreams itself, but that revenue would not go to the IP holder in most cases) I think users should be able to create works based on an IP but only for personal use, not for others to play.

Got Dragon Quest XI as a birthday present; loved the demo so I'm really excited to get into the game proper.

Learned about HLTB a few years ago and it’s made managing my games a hundred times more manageable. Even if gaming isn’t a big priority for me right now I look forward to completing my backlog... eventually.

I like E3 but digital presentations are the way to go. Forcing companies to announce information when they aren't ready results in poor shows, and the digital format allows for increased flexibility concerning announcements.

I only watch gameplay videos to help me understand a game I'm considering buying, but I would never purposely spoil big moments in a game for myself.

4 years in and My Nintendo is still a joke.

Strange they announced this so late in the day (at least in the US). Not a big AC fan but maybe this Direct will convince me to purchase the game.

For those who bought the base game (like me) this is the better option because we get to pay $30 instead of another $60 game to get the extra content.

For those who skipped the base game and were waiting for a third version now they have to pay $90 for all the content instead of $60 rerelease.

To appease both groups, GF should have either released this DLC as free updates (especially when it was being developed concurrently with the base game rather than as add-on content to a satisfying and complete experience) or released it as a standalone like Torna.

New forms have been added mid-gen since ORAS, maybe even before that so I don't have a problem with new Pokemon that weren't in the base game. Even updating the base game for compatibility is beyond anything GF has done before, so this is a welcome change. My bigger problem is how the Expansion Pass is split into two different versions for no other reason than to make more money, it seems.

This is getting ridiculous. Another service on top of Pokemon Bank and we still know nothing about it yet it comes out in a month. GF's development priorities and PR need to change.

@sanderev This expansion pass is essentially postgame content that previous games had in a full $40 package, when SwSh plus the expansion pass costs $90 in total. Obviously, developers should be paid for their work but I'm not sure if the value of SwSh deserves such a massive price increase.

Should have been free, especially with the increased price of Sword and Shield to begin with but this is better than a third version and the new content does look intriguing.

I just can't believe the Switch home menu hasn't been updated in the (nearly) 3 years since the console launched.

amiibo haven't mattered since 2015. They could have been so much more but Nintendo hasn't cared about them for a long time.

What online features?

Got a lot of things but primarily the $200 PS4 bundle and a $30 256 GB microSD card for my Switch.

It's a pretty short game but definitely worth playing. If you can find it at a good price, go for it!

Can't believe it's already been 2 years since Pocket Camp released.

Yoku's Island Express is fantastic so if it interests you, I highly recommend picking it up!

Mudkip is the only Water starter I've actually picked but they're all great.

Love Turtwig, Bulbasaur, and Rowlet a ton--hard to choose between them!

Big week this week with Witcher 3, Overwatch, Little Town Hero, Killer Queen Black (FINALLY!) and even more.

Those are phenomenal prices so I'll definitely pick up Dig 2 and Heist (already have Dig 1).

Longevity is what really matters. We've seen how apps like Super Mario Run and Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp are big hits for a little while but soon fall out of the public consciousness, and I'm interested to find out whether Mario Kart: Tour will be like those games or follow the path of Fire Emblem: Heroes, Nintendo's most profitable mobile game by far.

Don't mind Luigi's Mansion DLC but Nintendo could have avoided a lot of criticism if they announced it after the game had already released.

As someone who could never get into the original, I'm stoked to play this remake. My only problem is that this weekend is so busy for me, I probably won't be able to play it for a little while!

I surprisingly love the design but, as someone who is planning to buy Shield, am really disappointed that this Pokemon is a version exclusive.

The GameStop by me isn't bad but their selection is so limited and their prices are high compared to other stores or online retailers that I rarely have any reason to go there.

I still can't believe #5 isn't an option.

DQXI was one of the first games announced for the Switch 4 years ago, back when it was still called the NX. It’s wonderful to see the game arrive on the console at long last.

A 3D Kirby game is a must. Planet Robobot was great but Star Allies was pretty poor (level-design wise, not character-wise). I think the series has done all it can for now in 2D, unless the formula is switched up a ton.

Sigh... not a big fan of roguelikes but I still am interested in trying this when it releases.

Honestly, never heard of him before. I’m not saying he was a bad choice, but the amount of people my age (born more recently) who don’t know who he is should tell you how much relevance he has in today’s gaming market.

Lots of nice surprises. Nothing huge but this sets the bar for a good (not great) Direct.

Haven’t played it a lot but it is a fun game. I would be happy for it to receive a sequel sometime in the future!

Played the first part of the demo and I liked it but I wasn’t completely sold.

I don’t need a total reimagining of Pokémon. I just wish that Game Freak didn’t abandon features and Pokémon after every generation.

Neat idea but it didn’t interest me enough to be played often. I had a lot more fun with Splatoon 2.
