Nice, so I guess it's a 9 for anyone that hasn't played the original, like me.

I can't wait to put my hands on it!

Ok, now I really want to play this! I just hope it's much better than Bug Fables...

By the way, guys, go play Origami King, it's also fantastic! Imo it's the second best game in the series, better than Mario RPG and Super.

This looks more my thing than Bug Fables (quite dissapointing game for me). Direct to the wishlist!

Glad it's also releasing on the first Switch, but this is a game to play on Switch 2 lol. I don't think it's going to run well on the first one.

Looks amazing! I find it really strange that there's no Switch 2 version yet, but I imagine they'll announce it before its release... For me, it's a day one purchase for sure.

First Silent Hill, then Metal Gear, and now Castlevania... Konami is back, guys!
I just hope they release everything to the Switch 2, eventually.

@AussieMcBucket Elden Ring is much better than Dark Souls, don't worry.

Two highly anticipated games!

It looked really impressive! I bet this is going to be one of the best looking games in the console.

I believe among RE9, Pragmata, 007 First Light, Indiana Jones and FFVII Rebirth, the Switch 2 will really show what is capable of!
Such an amazing little device.

I'm so glad this turned out great! The cons don't concern me, I'll be getting this one as soon as possible.
What a month!

As soon as I see it for about 50 euros. I loved Aces! Glad to know this is better.

Ok, I'll definitely get the first one on the next sale!

I hope this means we are also getting the sequel.

@Lizuka At least based in the demo, this is not an annoying kid.

The demo was pretty great, and I love how the game looks and runs on Switch 2!

Nevertheless, I'll wait for the reviews before I buy it, as I have no clue how the whole game will be, it's really hard to figure out just by playing the demo.

Such an underrated gem! As someone said, I REALLY want a baby between Origami King and TTYD. That would make the perfect Paper Mario.

The music was also great, so this is good news.

Can't wait for this game!!

The question is which to get first, FFVII Rebirth or this one...? Releasing both in the same month isn't the best strategy.

1080 and 30fps when docked, really?? I'm sorry, but I'm not getting this game until there's a huge sale. I want to play it, but I won't support laziness from a big team like Bandai Namco.
Besides, it's GKC when the file size is 54GB. I understand it when the size is less than 20 (not worth it), or when it's too large to fit. But in this case? There's no excuse.

It looks AMAZING on handheld, really impressive stuff.
It's hard to believe that just 10 years ago we were still playing 3DS games...

Can't wait for this one!

Rebirth and Elliot released on the same month in diabolical.

The money saved with the discount goes for some external storage lol.

Fantastic game, by the way, much better than Remake. Can't wait to give it another run on Switch 2!

I'm really impressed with all the negativity here! Guys, sure it hasn't been the best Direct ever, but... Look at this first half of the year!

January: FFVII Remake
February: Dragon Quest VII, Fallout 4, Resident Evil VII, VIII and IX
March: Monster Hunter Stories 3
April: Pragmata
May: 007 First Light, Indiana Jones, Tales of Arise
June: Adventures of Elliot, FFVII Rebirth

When have we seen this kind of third party support...? And everything looks GREAT!

Also keep in mind that this has been pretty much all about the first half of the year. Barely no games for later, they will be shown in the next presentation.
And for exclusive games, just wait for the general Nintendo Direct!

@Jade37 Fine, I'll get Arise then first haha.
It looks better, actually.

It looks pretty good!

Question: Arise or Berseria remastered?

The real news here is that Indiana Jones comes on a physical cartridge, not even a key card. Plus it looks really really good.

Indy is day one for sure.
The rest will have to wait for a sale...

I'm so glad! It probably won't reach 1.5 million in total, but at least it's something, and I'm sure it will sell more over time. If it surpasses 2 million (though I hope it reaches 3 million at least), that will be enough for the series, which isn't known for crazy sales numbers.

We can still have faith in a potential Metroid Prime 5!! After the ending of 4, you're left wanting more. They have a very, very strong foundation, they just have to build upon it, and if they listen to the community, they'll have learned what people liked least about this one, and they'll give us a masterpiece with Prime 5.

One can dream, right? Lol

I said it already and I say it again. What I hope to see is:

-Switch 2 upgrades for The Witcher 3, Nier: Automata and the Doom series.
-Trailers and (hopefully) release dates for The Duskbloods, Elden Ring, Indiana Jones, Project M (from Bloober), Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, Professor Layton, The Adventures of Elliot and Fallout 4.
-And announces of these rumored games:

-Expedition 33
-Red Dead Redemption 2
-Metaphor
-The Kingdom Hearts games
-Doom: The Dark Ages
-The Resident Evil remakes
-Silent Hill 2 Remake
-Starfield

With all that I'd be more than happy

And if we get a trailer for Dragon Quest XII, I'll just cry.

Hell yeaaaah! Exactly what I wanted!

I want Switch 2 upgrades for games like The Witcher 3, Nier: Automata and the Doom series. I want release dates for games like The Duskbloods, Elden Ring, Indiana Jones, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, Professor Layton, The Adventures of Elliot and Fallout 4. I want new game announcements, like the rumored Expedition 33, Red Dead Redemption 2, Metaphor, the Kingdom Hearts games, Doom: The Dark Ages, or the Resident Evil remakes.
And I want to know more about that secret Bloober project.

I sincerely believe Nintendo is doing the right thing by giving third-party companies a big focus during the first year. The Switch 2 has the potential to become "another one" when talking about multiplatform releases, but players need to buy the games, not just settle for Nintendo's own titles.
The Switch 2 can finally become a Nintendo console that ISN'T just for Nintendo games and indie titles. Everything has a place here.

@VoidofLight Oh man! Hahaha, they did it on purpose, clearly.

@AstroTheGamosian I thought that cliffhanger was adressed in the Switch version (I haven't played yet). Oh well, then it REALLY needs a sequel haha.
And after the sequel, I'd encourage them to move on to other series. A new IP from Momolith would be awesome!

@CaptainQuo Man, The Xenoblade games really need Switch 2 upgrades! I understand you are angry about Animal Crossing and Mario Wonder rereleases, as those really didn't need much, but the Xenoblades...? They look very bad in handheld! Especially XC2.
A Switch 2 version is a must.

Also DKC Returns NEEDED the Switch 2 upgrade, now we can finally say the game is worth it. And it's for free, so what's the problem?

For new games, since June last year, you got MK World, DK Bananza, Pokemon ZA, Hyrule Warriors AoI, Kirby Air Riders, Metroid Prime 4 and now Mario Tennis Fever.
7 games in 9 months. That's not bad at all! Games take time to be developed, you know.

This is just for the inevitable Switch 2 edition. I hope they do the same treatment with all the games in the series!

I'm really glad all these games are coming to Switch 2!
However, I'm not sure if this is my type of game... A demo would definitely be key here.

@Porky Your loss. It's a fantastic experience that feels very Metroid despite those little things.

@Polvasti @JohntheRaptor Hollow Knight has many platforming sections, and it's not a Super Mario game. Zelda has meler combat, and it's not a Bayonetta game.
In Metroid you shoot at things, but that doesn't make it a Doom game.

Metroid is NOT a shooter! I thought that was clear a long time ago...

If Metroid Prime is an FPS, then Resident Evil 7 is too.

@Polvasti Metroid is NOT a FPS game, it's an adventure game.

Funny enough, I have already bought both, great games, and I haven't bought neither MK World, DK Bananza, Pokemon Legends ZA nor Kirby Air Riders.
Am I swimming against the current? Lol

PS: I plan on getting DK Bananza later on, don't worry!

We really need release dates for Fire Emblem, Splatoon Raiders, Yoshi and Rhythm Heaven, but above all, we need to know what other games will be coming by the end of this year (Mario? Zelda?).

Nintendo, give us a Direct already! Lol

@JHDK That's strange, to me it felt a lot like a Metroid Prime experience (more 3 than 1, though). I enjoyed it throughly, and I recommend it to all Metroid fans out there. And I played all the games in the (fantastic) series.

My list as of now would be:
-Metroid Prime Remastered
-Metroid Zero Mission
-Metroid Dread
-Metroid Prime 4
-Metroid Prime 3
-Metroid Fusion
-Super Metroid
-Metroid Other M
-Metroid Samus Returns
-Metroid Prime 2 (great game too, but the only one I couldn't finish...)

@JHDK Metroid deserves that 9/10 score, what are you talking about? It's an AMAZING game!

Switch 2 will sell over 20 million units within its first year... That's insane!
And with only Mario Kart as a system seller. Whenever an exclusive Pokemon, a Super Mario, a Zelda, a Smash Bros and an Animal Crossing come out, it'll sell like hotcakes!

I'm very glad, it's a fantastic console, I love it. Well deserved.

Well, there are a few reasons why this might have happened.

-It was released WAY too close to Mario Kart World and Kirby Air Riders.
-It's WAY too similar to Mario Kart, it controls exactly the same way. It lacks personality.
-It looks like cr*p on the Switch 1, especially when playing couch coop. You can't see what's going on!
-The Switch 2 upgrade took a long time to be released, and there's no standalone version.
-It's too expensive.

I bet if they had delayed it until now, releasing it on the Switch 2 at the same time, it would've sold much better.

Square is on fire! Can't wait to get this game on my Switch 2.

Now let's see how Rebirth looks and runs on the system!

Wow, this one also looks pretty good! Will keep an eye on it, let's see how the reviews are.

By the way, that voice from the trailer sounds familiar.

This one actually looks very nice!
After the great Origami King and a replay of Thousand Year Door (the best indeed), I'm eager to play a new one, and this could certainly do the trick.
I'll wait for reviews from sites I trust, though. Like this one.

@hcfwesker I believe you played the infamous RE6 and stayed there, but RE 7 and 8 are great games, despite having kind of vampires (in RE VIII) as you say. You're really missing out.
And RE9 looks amazing!

I tell you as a real fan of the originals. REmake, RE2, Code Veronica and 4 are all among my favorite games of all time.

@hcfwesker The original Resident Evil already included a lot of other beast to fight, apart from the zombies...
And RE4 already gave us a different type of zombies that weren't really zombies (they could talk and so).

So I guess RE is just not for you?

I'm getting A LOT of games these months, but I can't afford to buy them all now, so I'll have to choose.
For now I'm getting day one Ys X Proud Nordics and the RE trilogy, but I'll eventually buy DQ VII Reimagined, Reanimal, Mario Tennis Fever, Monster Hunter Stories 3 (if it's as good as it seems) and Fatal Frame 2. Plus Dispatch whenever it gets patched, and Pragmata in April.

A Yoshi game the most expected one? Sooo strange, specially after Crafted World...

For me, they are Fire Emblem, REquiem, Pragmata, Indiana Jones, Ys X Proud Nordics, Elden Ring and Splatoon Raiders.

And I hope they announce many more things soon!

As near future as next week!

Can't wait to see Rebirth running on the Switch 2.

So basically Ad Hoc didn't bother to adapt the game to the Western audience. And they want us to buy their game nevertheless.

Nope! Sorry, but that's not gonna happen. Do you want us to buy your game? Give it to us in a proper way.

I'll get the game day one as soon as they fix this crappy issue.

A general Direct would be better, but if it's a Partner Showcase, I really hope we get Switch 2 upgrades for games like Witcher 3 and Nier Automata, we see in action games like Pragmata, 007 and FFVII Rebirth, we get release dates for Elden Ring, Borderlands 4 and Indiana Jones, and well, we get confirmation that all the rumoured games are finally coming to Switch 2. You know, RDR2, E33, Metaphor, Starfield, the Kingdom Hearts, Doom Dark Ages, the RE Remakes,...

If all that actually happened, I would be very happy lol.
