There were definitely games presented that I'm looking forward to, so I'd say that it was a good direct. I'm especially excited about Fire Emblem and Tomodachi Life! Pokopia is a "wait and see" for me, but it looks very promising.
I'm interested in learning more about Herdling and Winter Burrow. I'm pretty sure that I will get Tiny Bookshop eventually, though I'm not in a hurry at the moment.
I don't need the extra bells and whistles to enjoy what I already have. I'll pass.
If I love the version that I have enough, I may wait for the dx trilogy to go on sale on Steam, and then get it there. I'm not giving Nintendo anymore of my money for this.
I wasn't expecting anything, so I wouldn't say that I'm disappointed. However, nothing really piqued my interest either. I'm happy for others who have something to be excited about from this direct, though.
I still haven't seen a Switch 2 in stores. I live in the DFW, TX area. :/ Hopefully I get one before Christmas, but I'm not holding my breath at this point.
I have enough of a backlog to where I can wait for games to go on sale. I will be extremely selective of day 1 purchases. I'm primarily a Switch user, but I also have a couple of games on Steam.
I gave this direct a 5/10. The hardware upgrades ARE neat, and it will be interesting to see how the mouse controls will be utilized in future titles. Nothing from the current Switch 2 exclusive lineup wowed me. As I've said elsewhere, I don't feel like I need to buy it on day 1.
Team Ninja for me! I love purple, plus my hubby says that I sneak up on him sometimes (not on purpose, I'm just a really quiet person most of the time).
I think I'm going to wait to upgrade to either a Switch OLED or wait for Switch 2. I've loved my Switch lite, but I don't love getting the joysticks replaced (the repair shop closest to me charges $80).
Too much for my wallet! I have a feeling I'm just going to upgrade from a switch lite to either on OLED or regular switch next (hopefully the price will go down a little after Switch 2 comes out).
I love Tangy. I'm still hoping that there will be an AC Minifigure series. That would be a great way to add Orville down the line. As many characters as there are, they could make multiple minifig series! I'm willing to bet more people would spring for the minifigs than they have for the sets.
I would say that Pentiment is a visual novel of sorts. With lots of different outcomes depending on what choices you make in game. I highly recommend it. I recently started my 2nd playthrough. It's so well written!
I would love it if online play was F2P (or for a discounted price), and pay extra for the single player experience. If some of the weapons were to be exclusive to the single player experience that would be fine by me (I don't use many different weapons anyway). I never finish the single player mode. I'm really there just for the online play.
Not surprised. I was in Team Mint Chocolate Chip. Even though Team Strawberry was the smallest group, they played very well! Congratulations, Team Vanilla!
Did anyone else have a lot of connectivity issues this splatfest?

Re: Best Point And Click Adventure Games For Nintendo Switch
Milkmaid of the Milky Way is also delightful.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (13th September)
I'll water my crops in ACNH. Then I'll be playing some FE:Three Houses, and possibly some West of Loathing.

Re: Tomodachi Life: Living The Dream Showcases Island Life, Coming To Switch Spring 2026
This will be a day 1 purchase! I'm so excited!
Re: Nintendo Indie World Showcase August 2025 - Every Announcement, Game Reveal & Trailer
I'm interested in learning more about Herdling and Winter Burrow. I'm pretty sure that I will get Tiny Bookshop eventually, though I'm not in a hurry at the moment.
Overall I thought it was an okay direct.

Re: Square Enix Is Bringing A Brand New HD-2D RPG To Switch 2 Next Year
I'm interested enough to try the demo.
Re: Switch 2 Launch Helps Boost US Video Game Spending To Record June High
@rjejr Thank you, that's helpful!
Re: Switch 2 Launch Helps Boost US Video Game Spending To Record June High
I still haven't seen a Switch 2 in stores. I live in the DFW, TX area. :/ Hopefully I get one before Christmas, but I'm not holding my breath at this point.
Re: Nintendo Files New Trademark For A DS Cult Classic
I would LOVE a remaster, and a chance to play the sequel. I have fond memories of the first game.
Re: Stardew Valley Creator Open To Sequel, But Admits Updates Are "Much Easier"
We don't need another Stardew Valley. The one we have is already amazing! I'm looking forward to Haunted Chocolatier.

Re: Team Night Takes Gold In Splatoon 3's Latest Seasonal Splatfest
I'm starting to think that I'll never be on a winning splatfest team in Splatoon 3. 😆 It's okay though. I was on Team Morning.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (12th April)
Played some Splatoon 3 earlier. Probably going to continue playing Ryza 1 at some point this weekend.
Re: Community: Which Switch 2 Games Are You Wishlisting?
Mario Kart is a maybe, though it would be more for my kids than for me.
Hogwart's Legacy, but I'll be waiting for a sale while I'm enjoying the version that I already have. I imagine that I will be waiting a long time.
Pokemon Z-A is a want.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (5th April)
Trying to get serious about getting through at least some of my backlog, starting with Ryza (1).
Re: Poll: So, How Would You Rate The Nintendo Switch 2 Direct?
I gave this direct a 5/10. The hardware upgrades ARE neat, and it will be interesting to see how the mouse controls will be utilized in future titles. Nothing from the current Switch 2 exclusive lineup wowed me. As I've said elsewhere, I don't feel like I need to buy it on day 1.
Re: Nintendo Switch 2 Priced At $449.99 For The Base Console
The console price is about what I expected. Since I won't be purchasing day 1, I have time to save up my monies. No biggie.
Re: Nintendo Switch 2 Officially Launches On 5th June 2025
The only Switch 2 titles that interest me at this point are Pokémon Z-A and the enhanced Hogwart's Legacy (though if I have to buy the full Hogwart's game again, might wait until it goes on sale, since I already have it on my Switch).
That being said, I want a Switch 2, but I don't feel like I HAVE to have it on day 1.
Re: Drag x Drive Puts The Rocket League Into Wheelchair Basketball
This didn't appeal to me, but I like how they incorporated the mouse controls. That's pretty cool!
Re: Talking Point: Which Switch Game Needs A 'Nintendo Switch 2 Edition' The Most?
An Ever Oasis remaster would be amazing!
I know it's not a Switch game, but since Switch games will run on the Switch 2, I don't see why they would need an upgrade.
Re: Atelier Yumia's Strong Start Makes It The Fastest-Selling Game In Series History
I still need to play Ryza 1 and 2. . .😅
Re: Nintendo Showcases Every Switch Direct Game In New Infographic
I'm glad that Witchbrook's release date has finally been announced. It's been a LONG wait!
Tomodachi Life hype is big in my household!
Keeping an eye on the new Fantasy Life title as well.
Re: A New Tomodachi Life Game Is Coming To Switch Next Year
This will definitely be a day one for me. I'll probably get it for my kid too!
Re: Is Skies Of Arcadia Coming Back? New SEGA Trademark Gets Fans Excited
That's one of my dream remasters. I hope it happens. Not holding my breath, but it would be a happy surprise!
Re: 'Team Presents' Unwraps A Win In Splatoon 3's 'Frosty Fest' Splatfest
So continues my losing streak in Splatoon 3 splatfests.
Though actually I feel like I did my personal best this go around. I guess that's a personal win.
Re: Splatoon 3's 'Splatoween' Event Returns With A Spooky Splatfest
Team Ninja for me! I love purple, plus my hubby says that I sneak up on him sometimes (not on purpose, I'm just a really quiet person most of the time).
Re: Gallery: Here's The Switch Lite Hyrule Edition In All Its Zelda-Themed Beauty
I think I'm going to wait to upgrade to either a Switch OLED or wait for Switch 2. I've loved my Switch lite, but I don't love getting the joysticks replaced (the repair shop closest to me charges $80).
Re: Three New LEGO Animal Crossing Sets Featuring Leif, Celeste, And Mabel Are Coming Next Year
Mabel looks a little weird to me. That won't stop me from getting the Tailor Shop (along with all the other AC sets) though.
Re: Talking Point: Would $499 Be Too Much For 'Switch 2'?
Too much for my wallet! I have a feeling I'm just going to upgrade from a switch lite to either on OLED or regular switch next (hopefully the price will go down a little after Switch 2 comes out).
Re: 'Team Rice' Wins The Latest Splatoon 3 Splatfest
So continues my streak of being on a losing team in Splatoon 3. 😆 I was on team bread.
I still had fun, though I still don't love the tricolor battles. Rice, and sometimes Pasta too, were super aggressive. It was an intense Splatfest!
Re: Review: LEGO Animal Crossing - Fly With Dodo Airlines - A Great Little Set With One Glaring Omission
I love Tangy. I'm still hoping that there will be an AC Minifigure series. That would be a great way to add Orville down the line. As many characters as there are, they could make multiple minifig series! I'm willing to bet more people would spring for the minifigs than they have for the sets.
Re: Best Nintendo Switch Visual Novels
I would say that Pentiment is a visual novel of sorts. With lots of different outcomes depending on what choices you make in game. I highly recommend it. I recently started my 2nd playthrough. It's so well written!
Re: Cosy 'Polly Pocket'-Inspired Farm Sim 'Tiny Garden' Smashes Kickstarter Goal In One Hour
I never had a Polly Pocket growing up, even though I thought they looked really cool. I may keep an eye on this. I hope it's good!
Re: Nintendo Direct June 2024: Every Announcement, Game Reveal, Trailer
I'm so glad Stray is coming to Switch! Also looking forward to the new Zelda game.
Re: Nintendo Shares Colourful Graphic Featuring The Games From September's Direct
Looking forward to Another Code and the new Among Us map. There were a couple of other titles that I will wait for the review.
Re: Poll: What Did You Think Of The Nintendo Direct, Then?
Another Code was a nice surprise for me. The other titles listed didn't really stand out to me though.
Re: Another Code: Recollection Remakes Two Cult Classics On Switch in January 2024
Well this is happy news!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (September 9th)
I've been having a Stardew Valley craving for the past few days. May also play a little Harvestella. We'll see!
Re: Talking Point: What Do You Want From A 'Splatoon 4'?
I would love it if online play was F2P (or for a discounted price), and pay extra for the single player experience. If some of the weapons were to be exclusive to the single player experience that would be fine by me (I don't use many different weapons anyway). I never finish the single player mode. I'm really there just for the online play.
All the maps too, please!
Re: Two More Pokémon Squishmallows Will Be Releasing Soon
If they make Jigglypuff I'm all in!
Re: Rumour: Animal Crossing LEGO? It May Be Coming Next Year, According To Leaks
I hope the rumors are true! The rumors are definitely circulating through the LEGOsphere like mad as well. I'm hopeful!
Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's Game Boy Color Library With Two Zelda Classics
I was hoping that these would be remastered like Awakening was, but I'll take what I can get! I still haven't completed Seasons. I LOVED Ages!!!!!!
Re: Team Vanilla Wins Splatoon 3's Ice Cream-Themed Splatfest
Not surprised. I was in Team Mint Chocolate Chip. Even though Team Strawberry was the smallest group, they played very well! Congratulations, Team Vanilla!
Did anyone else have a lot of connectivity issues this splatfest?
Also, I won my first 100x battle this splatfest!
Re: Avatar: The Last Airbender: Quest For Balance Is Finally Announced, Coming To Switch This Year
Ooooooh, I hope this rates well! Definitely keeping an eye on it. Looks lovely so far!
Re: Hands On: This Kitty Turned Out To Be Our Biggest Summer Game Fest Surprise
Soooooooo cute! Aaaaaaaaah!!!
Re: Best Harvest Moon / Story Of Seasons Games Of All Time
I probably had the most fun with HM Animal Parade. I also loved HM Magical Melody and A Wonderful Life.
Re: Review: Etrian Odyssey Origins Collection - Divine Dungeon Crawling But Not Definitive
@SwitchVogel In that case, I might get EO III down the road.
Re: Nintendo Reveals New Switch Joy-Con Pastel Colour Sets
They need to make a lavender colored switch lite.
