I don't care too much about Xenoblade, but this was pretty great imo

So this is definitely a case where I understand why people would love this direct but I didn't. There was some solid stuff but...eh.

I don't think the salt of FE Warriors 2 ever washed off the entire time. It's not even the actual game itself, I know Koei working in it has no impact on Intelligent Systems' pipeline, it's the fact that it's a Musou game on the Switch so it has no chance of being playable.

Yeah Xenoblade 3 has got me happy but the rest of the Direct was not so good. It was 99% ports and DLC of pre-existing games. They spent like ten minutes on Wii Sports.

Live a Live remake and 39 minutes of dead air would still be a top tier direct for me, tbh.

this was a pretty good direct. no earth shattering announcements but a bunch of small things adding up: confirmation on advance wars, nintendo switch sports, earthbound online, some cool announcements for the hardcore jrpg heads, mario kart 8.5, xenoblade 3.

This direct can be pretty much summarised in "do you care about Xenoblade 3"

Mario strikers and Kart DLC and Wii Sports are way more significant than XB3

strikers reveal hyped me up so much

Confused about the DLC pricing for the Mario Kart DLC. Is it $25 for all 48 courses or $25 for the first wave of 8 courses?

One of those is really good and one of those is really bad.

Chrono Cross is a fun novelty but it's hard to get hyped for a game you can just emulate and get the same experience from

Live a Live is legit, though

I mean I certainly wasn't overly excited about every single new game but in terms of pure "Holy shit!" moments to "Yeah whatever" moments this one had a great ratio, even if the "Holy shit!" was more out of surprise than excitement.

Kirby was the most exciting to me still. Advance Wars is likely something Ill check out and maybe Ill try a few others for the first time ever like Live A Live, Chrono Cross and Earthbound. Otherwise wasnt particularly interesting overall. Sad to see no sign of TMNT Shredders Revenge. Was hoping it might have a release date at least :(

sad i predicted chocobo gp and voice of cards 2 not being in the direct but at least they were in the jp one...

I'm not playing a story expansion for a game I haven't played whether it's separate or not.

Its pretty wild how much of that Direct consisted of like 20+ year old JRPGs

it is actually insane how much this direct actually seems tailor made for me and others who were "niche gamers" 20 years ago.

radical dreamers
front mission
live a live
earthbound
triangle strategy demo

it was basically the direct for people who frequented rpgfan

It's a prequel. I mean, people who didn't play XB2 are excited for XB3 despite it being a sequel! There's a good number of people who enjoyed Torna without playing XB2 as well.

If even a single frame of that ice rabbit woman abomination is in it then it's completely invalid!

It depends on whether you consider Mythra a porno blade or not.

Torna does fix many of the issues people had with Xenoblade 2. Like there's no gacha either.

Torna is outstanding. Feels like a perfect version of Xenoblade 2 from another dimension only shrunken down. Really makes me wish the main game wasn't marred by baffling gacha bullshit and could adopt the gameplay changes Torna made instead.

I think Mythra and Pyra are also terrible designs (I'm anime as fuck but why those designs are so popular is BEYOND me, they look like they're ripped straight from a generic seasonal anime that nobody cares about and forgets before it's even over) , but at least she's not literally from Hentai or Ecchi artists like the Blades.

The only character in that entire game who looks even decent is the catgirl, and even she has wierd pajama clothes.

Xenoblade 3 makes this Direct a winner by itself, but on top of that, I was also interested in Live a Live, maybe the mech SRPG remakes, and I guess I'll try Earthbound out.

I keep saying I'll try out some of these RPG musous, but I never do, and if I were to start, it'd be Persona 5 Strikers instead of this new FE Warriors.

The Chrono Cross remaster looked pretty bad with those HD characters walking on those ugly backgrounds.

Kirby looks really good, and I'm not even someone who generally cares about 3D action platformers.

Don't care about the sports titles or Splatoon.

Disney Kart being f2p means I'll probably at least try it out.

Triangle Strategy demo is cool. First three chapters sounds like a lot, really curious how much branching there might be in that time frame.

Maybe I'll look into No Man's Sky.

Overall not a ton that got me super hyped, but fuck it had Xenoblade 3.

P5 Strikers is a great game but it isn't really a Musou in the traditional sense. However it does have the distinction of running the worst out of all of them! The load times on Switch, and these are hard numbers not hyperbole, range between three and TWENTY times longer than the equivlant load times on PS5. Obviously the framerate is also gutter trash.

If I thought it was going to run good I would honestly be excited for 3 Houses Warriors! But the first one ran bad and they couldn't even manage to get the Zelda one working any good on Switch, so why would they put in the effort for this?

Great Direct. Lmao at them finally doing MK8 DLC and just turning the game into Mario Kart Ultimate. No way this is what they were talking about with MK9 being in active development though, right? I wonder if MK9 will release around the time this ends, or potentially a bit later and MK9 will just be a Switch 2 launch title. Probably a smart move to do the latter.

New Strikers looks so much fun and I skipped Golf and Tennis. Definitely getting this one. The rest of my fuck yeahs: Boss Rush to Dread (will try Dread mode too), Wii Sports online, Live a Live, Klonoa (always wanted to play 2), Splatoon 3 Hoard mode, Advance Wars, mother fucking Kirby looking sooo good.

Should play my copy of Xenoblade Chronicles HD sometime and I might be excited about XB3 too! Good stuff, Nintendo.
