calling the "Wolf Link and Midna" amiibo the "Wolf Link" amiibo is both the new and old calling "Banjo and Kazooie" just "Banjo"
I really hope, Pure White Lover Bizarre Jelly, returns to NMH3.
Zeke and Giga Rose theme are the songs I'm hoping for to be added
The triangle strategy game looks fun but man, they better come up with a better name than that.
I only want announcements in video format. I don’t like small posts being done for them.
Great to see Blessing here
If I was interested in Splatoon the direct would have hit a 7 or higher, but since I’m not into the series the direct gets a 6. Smash fighter, Mario Golf, and Triangle Strategy were pretty much all this one had for me and TS isn’t until 22
geezus. i guess nintendo should go back to not doing directs if a twitter shadowdrop of skyward sword would’ve been more exciting. sigh
I don't think spoiling Xenoblade was cool. It doesn't hurt to just say "spoiler warning". Who cares how old the game is? Would you like it if someone spoiled a game for you because it's old?
the death parade game on apple arcade is only the start of the game
For me, it was a solid Direct; not amazing, but it wasn't awful either. Fall Guys finally coming to Switch, Mario Golf Super Rush looks so fun, Miitopia, Skyward Sword HD, World's End Club, and Splatoon 3 was a genuine shock. Pyra/Mythra in Smash wasn't a huge deal to me (I feel like a will be playing Xenoblade Chronicles at some point in the future tho…), and while other announcements weren't for me (Project Triangle Strategy, DC Super Hero Girls, No More Heroes 3 being prime examples) I would still consider it a solid return for the general Direct format. Here's hoping we don't have to wait 530 days for the next general Direct!
My highlights:
1. Mario Golf
2. Fall Guys Switch
3. Pyra and Mythra for Smash.
Not a ton of stuff for me, but I still really liked it cause there was lots of stuff for everyone.
Good to have those Nintendo Directs back baby woo!
I think I have 100 hours in tomodachi life
And that is pretty much what happened, but instead of it being the holidays 2023 game it's coming Spring 2023
