Disappointed not to have a Metroid or Twilight Princess to play this year, but can't moan too much when there's a new Pikmin on the way, a date for Zelda, and an Octopath sequel which will hopefully make good on the first game's potential. GoldenEye is my favourite game but I don't use Switch Online in any capacity, so it doesn't affect me: was hoping the full remaster might be a physical release for Switch and XBox, but alas.

 

[ManaByte]

I got….

New Zelda trailer
Fire Emblem Engage
Octopath 2
Ryza 3
New info XC3 DLC

I’m satisfied, just wish we get Muramasa on modern system.

 

[Jsisto]

You could say that I have enough tears to fill a kingdom after having to suffer through the majority of this direct.

 

[Alter_Fridge]

Great show imo. The Switch is going to go down as one of the all-time great consoles.

For having Metroid vapourware

 

[Sojiro]

Front Mission 3 is the PSX one right?

Yep, that sexy sexy amazing game .

 

[ManaByte]

Miyamoto is back.

Stop believing all these fake insiders.

 

[MetalFreak]

Man.... the insiders can go fuck themselves.

 

[adamsapple]

Not even a Nintendo guy and even I thought that was a pretty good show.

 

[Kataploom]

I mean JRPGs and other Japanese games are my entire reason why I buy Nintendo systems in the first place.

It's tiring to see so much hate for anime or japanese stuff like "they are poisoning their enjoyment" or whatever lol... I was expecting Zelda remasters so much I didn't notice how many of the shown games I'm likely to buy and there quite some of them...

 

[Alter_Fridge]

Stop believing all these fake insiders.

Talking about Prime 4 too. It's probably been quietly cancelled

 

[Kataploom]

Goddamit... This is so hilariously on point, and I can see them getting bad press because of that

 

[Punished Miku]

Pikmin 4 is still alive. They're not cancelling Metroid.

I mean it fine if they don’t like those things, that’s their taste but that person only bought switch for Zelda and Mario then they are going to have miserable time with their Nintendo systems.

I like Zelda and Mario but JRPGs and Japanese games is why I bough all my Nintendo systems, including their handhelds.

 

[Ailynn]

Bayonetta 3 and BotW2 dates are great...
I just wanted some small bit of Metroid news.

ESPECIALLY after that tiny tease of the Samus icon during the Goldeneye announcement.

 

[Evil Calvin]

I didn't get to watch the direct, but any mention of the Advance Wars remake being released?

 

[Touch fuzZy. get BizZay]

ok tears of the kingdom

we got a name and date

 

[graywolf323]

I didn't get to watch the direct, but any mention of the Advance Wars remake being released?

I’m wondering the same but it seems no? wtf Nintendo…

 

[RoadHazard]

I’m wondering the same but it seems no? wtf Nintendo…

It has been cancelled.

Spoiler

No, but it was not acknowledged as existing at all during the Direct.

 

[MAtgS]

Goldeneye was supposedly hold back due to Ukraine war too but they were totally fine with showing that today.

Yeah I don't get why people would be mad at a japanese company making games with japanese pop culture sensibilities. Maybe try Sony? They're more Netflix specials than anime.

 

[HitCtrlAltDel]

Wow, that was… bad. Did absolutely nothing for me. Even Zelda showed nothing that would make me think they are fixing their mistakes of the first game.

 

[Orta]

Load of shite, as usual. That's the third or fourth Direct with sod all of interest, Zelda being the obvious exception.

Seven years on the market next Spring, I'd assume Nintendo are winding things down with new AAA content in development for the next console.

Six years. But still.

 

[Xellos]

This is my assumption as well. Zelda's launching in 8 months and we've seen about 5 minutes of it in the last 3.5 years; probably won't see any more of it this year either. I think most of the AAA games like Pikmin and Zelda will be cross-generation and are likely far into development, but Nintendo is holding back showing them because they want to market them with the new hardware.

 

[Trunx81]

Maybe I watched too much Epic NPC man, but I can’t read “Tears of a kingdom” without the guards voice in my head.

 

[NeoIkaruGAF]

Some of you really don't like games unless they're AAAAAAAAA, huh?
I mean, there's an overabundance of harvest/farming simulators, Square Enix is going overboard with all these releases and Fire Emblem is soon going to get more releases than Pokémon. But still, with more than FORTY games there must have been something to pique your interest.

 

[nordique]

Talking about Prime 4 too. It's probably been quietly cancelled

I don’t think so.

I have a feeling its going to be targeted for the switch successor

 

[Team Andromeda]

Nintendo fans are the biggest mugs in gaming that was a crap showing

 

[Jim Ryan other Clone]

One of the most awesome direct ever. There were so many games there that i would like to play. Most anticipated game being fire emblem.

 

[graywolf323]

It has been cancelled.

No, but it was not acknowledged as existing at all during the Direct.

Goldeneye was supposedly hold back due to Ukraine war too but they were totally fine with showing that today.

seems they were asked about it and it does still exist so here’s hoping? but it’s crazy to me they still don’t have a new release date for it

 

[Rat Rage]

Raincode looked really good.

 

[MAtgS]

They better be adding Dual Strike at this point .

 

[Barakov]

Damn, Nintendo brought their A game today. I want most of the games that were announced today.

Unless you're waiting for unrealistic very specific things like f-zero, I don't know how can someone even think Nintendo is slowing down switch games production... They've had more hits and more games in general on more regular basis than any other publisher since the Switch came out and I can't even find time to play everything they are releasing so frequently these days...

you want proper Fist of the North Star game, play this...

Made by Yakuza team.

 

[Andyliini]

This Direct showed me that tje games just won't stop coming. At least until February there are at least one game a month, often even more, that interest me on Switch. This has never happened before and they just keep coming. Great show of games.

 

[Serouj2000]

Even though we got a Metroid game (a mainline one, at that) last year

It's also a particularly stupid thing to say because even if there's a new hardware coming soon they're not going to stop making games for the base Switch, there'll be a long crossgen period exactly like what's happening with the PS and XBox now.

 

[Kataploom]

Hope this comes to PC, knowing SEGA it's not impossible

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

What the hell? Does anyone who uses Fiteness Boxing know what the hell Fist of the North star even is? lol

Me

 

[EDMIX]

Trash

Fantastic game

Every dev is allowed one blip, just look at GT Sports for example. Doesn’t mean Polyphony are wank. My assessment was great.

Agreed. Many devs have some titles I don't care for and still have other titles that are amazing so I never really try to judge off of 1 or 2 titles or something.

Octopath Traveler II (Switch or PS5 for me)

lol I looked on PSN and saw this for pre-order and was like "when the fuck did this get revealed?" lol

So much news was around that Ronin game and Yakuza 8, Ishin remake, God Of War etc, it got lost in the shuffle a bit.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Don't laugh, don't laugh... but how bad the game looks, it made me want to buy it, it looks funny.




it even gave me Hype

Look Danjin44

 

[Danjin44]

Don't laugh, don't laugh... but how bad the game looks, it made me want to buy it, it looks funny.

Dont waste money and time on this and play proper Fist of the North Star game.

I love Yakuza, but I wish this got a sequel.

 

[cireza]

Miyamoto is back.

The mummification process went well.

 

[Astral Dog]

discussion still going? The total lack of remasters was bizarre! after all that speculation and 'insider' leaks lol, that was a little dissapointing, Zelda trailer was also short again...

But i can't complain when two of my favorite series are getting new games that look fantastic in the next months.even three if we count Zelda ToK launching in May, And a bunch of fun third party stuff im getting. Nintendo Direct just worked for me and im happy

Speaking of Tears of the Kingdom, at first i thought it was launching December that lasted for a day until i read Nintendo's press release, i was convinced they delayed it to launch alongside a new Switch

 

[Aldric]

If there's one thing I'm not disappointed about it's less remasters, the industry is already saturated with them.

Still hope that Kid Icarus Uprising HD rumor is true.

 

[NotMyProblemAnymoreCunt]

Very few exclusives shown though and the multiplatform games are better portably on the Deck. Very weak direct padded with mostly anime shovelware

Better than Sony State of Play
