The "Resident Evil" banner on the outline got me pretty hyped. Then they finally got to it, and I completely forgot that it'd just be the Revelations games. Man, I was really hoping for RE4.
Animal Crossing MIA was completely unexpected. Thought there'd be at least something, either a mobile game, 3DS, Switch, just...something. Maybe there was, and I just missed it.
At this point, I'm seriously considering that Nintendo simply won't have a virtual console. They might be trying to figure out some other way of monetizing those catalogue games, whether by building up the NES/SNES product line further, or possibly releasing them in collections a la Sega's approach to Genesis games.
I'm happy for Mario fans, because Odyssey is shaping up to be a banner game. Shame we didn't hear any more, even a trailer, about Metroid Prime 4 though.
Octopath's visuals are a real eyecatcher. Almost 3D Dot Game Heroes-ish. Kind of hope the Tokyo RPG Factory games end up going in that direction.
Mother 3 MIA but I think it's time to let that one go. Meh.
The Bethesda support is very welcome and I really hope Switch owners don't leave them hanging. They're taking the place that Ubisoft had early in the Wii U's life, and I suspect a LOT of potential 3rd-party support is hinging on how the Bethesda games do.
Interesting that Wolfenstein is coming over, but not Evil Within 2. Would be really interested to find out if (a) Beth doesn't think it'd be successful on the Switch, given the horror focus (which is a bit ironic given that Resident Evil was a huge part of the GameCube library); or (b) Beth can't get it running, on a technical level, on the Switch.
Overall it was a solid, if safe, Direct. Nintendo's doing a decent job of building the Switch library at the moment, but I'm still not convinced to pick one up again after selling mine when I beat Zelda.
