And I thought PS4/Xbox1 got a lot of ports.

Smash 5 OMFG!!!!! InklingS!!!!!!
 
Oh well, Smash. Finally, even though I'm not a big fan of it, it should obviously happen.

Overall, pretty meh, other than SOLAIRE AMIIBO!!!!

This was a complete waste of 30min. The only thing of note was Smash and I'm not even interested in that game.

So. More ports.

And the big announcement is that I get the chance to pay $60 for another 4 years old WiiU port

Alright, that Smash reveal as incoming certain doom was pretty funny

I was already pretty happy with the Dillon and Kirby extra character announcements, but then they finished up with a Splatoon expansion and Smash confirmation.
I honestly didn't expect much, but for me this Direct more than delivered

Octopath might sell me on the system.

I'm curious about the new Smash, if it's just the WiiU's version with tweaks like Link design change, or a full new game.

Finally! Inklings in Smash Bros! Just give me an ARMS character and I'm set.

Did you guys notice that Link had his BotW look on? What do you think, heavily updated port or all new game? I can't wait for the GameXplain analysis of those 5 seconds when everyone is silhouetted.

Really liked the Direct, I’ll probably be picking up most of these titles for switch, even though I already owned Captain Toad, it was too adorable not to double dip. Now give me an amiibo of him dang it.

Thought they accidentally played the Splatoon 1 reveal trailer for a minute at the end there.

Well done.

HAL is the developer, not Bandai Namco. So I guess that is a new version.

Mario Tennis Aces looks way better than that garbage they crapped out on the Wii U.

Pretty nothing showing for me as far as the Switch goes. Okami is nice and my interest in Smash pretty much hinges on a castlevania character finally making it in but that's about it. Oh well, at least Octopath and No More Heroes are looking good.

Pretty stoked about luigi's mansion on the 3ds though
 
Are those directs always so boring ?

Guess I don't have to hurry with buying Switch at all since that content looked like something oriented for Nintendo only console owners.

On a plus side - port of Hyrule Warriors

anyone feel the Solaire amiibo is pointless? once you join the covenant you get that gesture. they better bring over an artorias amiibo. place Artorias AND Solaire in Smash!

Not much for me here since I don't own a Switch, was hoping for some 3DS stuff. I'm glad Crash Bandicoot is spreading to more consoles, I guess that increases the chance of seeing more of his games on PS4 aswell. It was a clever move to end with the Smash teaser otherwise I suspect many people would have been left disappointed. I'm still not convinced by Nintendo.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Well... at least we got a release date for Octopath Traveller and it's sooner than the leaked date.

Honestly the only thing coming out on Switch this year(?) that I'm remotely interested in.

Looking at it again it feels like it might be a port or maybe an expanded port

Even if it ends up being useless it's still one of the coolest looking amiibo's to come out.

I could see Smash being technically a new game, but heavily reusing Smash U assets and models given how quick it's coming out. As long as Bayo stays I would be fine with that, especially if it has more and better modes (like a proper classic mode, and hopefully a adventure mode of some sort) than Smash U.
