nice changing mario outfit Love it

Well at first this game I was ''meh'' about it now I think it would worth the shot, but will not update just for it ^^

 

[sarkwalvein]

Well, thanks to Vodafone now I have a beautiful delay.
Anyway, that Octopath RPG makes me remember a little of Romancing Saga 3.
And that means I'll buy it.

 

[Cyan]

octopath is appealing to me, I like the graphic style.
the game makes me think about the Snes's SaGa series. it has a lot of same feelings. (multiple characters, same visual)
edit: ah, sarkwalvein beat me to it, that game looks like romancing Saga 3

I might buy a switch for Xenoblade and that game.

 

[BlueFox gui]

hah nintendo shit just give me 3DS game man, boi this kirby looks so cool

 

[Yepi69]

I just hope, honestly honestly hope the N3DS version gets the Better Together update version of Minecraft, that would be a kick in the balls for the PSVita version, like the Switch version is kicking the PS4 version's in the balls already.

 

[Justinde75]

Wow this had to be one of the most boing directs ever. Only good things were from Xenoblade 2 and Octopath traveler. Also most of the things were already known.

 

[duffmmann]

A Mario Party game with the top 100 minigames so far is such a brilliant idea, happy to see its actually a thing. Though honestly it should probably be a Switch game as well as the 3DS game, Switch would be the perfect home for such a Mario Party game.

 

[pedro702]

mario party top 100 semed like a title that would be for the switch with the joycons and such and yet it goes for 3ds where you need 2 consoles ...

Wow this had to be one of the most boing directs ever. Only good things were from Xenoblade 2 and Octopath traveler. Also most of the things were already known.

I thought it was okay, but I also always keep my expectations low when it comes to Nintendo Directs. To me it seems like lots of people have their expectations set too high sometimes, because every time there's a Direct I see people saying this exact same thing.

Animal Crossing Switch kthxs

All of us AC fans right now

Great content. I am still sad there was no new F-Zero game announced. Maybe next time.

 

[failzers]

i'm not capable to waste $900 dollars for switch >: (

what sixth world country do you live in that it's $900

 

[Kourin]

Direct had a lot of filler, but a few good things. Odyssey looks great and the top 100 minigames looks fun, did anyone catch if it had online multi?

 

[sarkwalvein]

Only good things were from Xenoblade 2 and Octopath traveler.

I agree on that, but actually because of those two, or more precisely because of Octopath that was an unexpected surprise for me, it ended up being an interesting Direct.

brazil you richie kid >: )
problem? /shrugs

I think the biggest news was Doom and Wolfenstein II coming to the Switch. Granted the latter will be months after the original release for PS4/Xbox One but I hope it won't be horribly downgraded.

Also, I honestly think MAME roms will be the new Virtual Console for the Switch. If Capcom, Konami, Taito etc will release their arcade games as well, I think that will make up for the lack of a proper Virtual Console.

 

[orcid]

They said before that the direct is about games releasing the next few month. Of course there are not many big surprises.
i am very excited for xenoblade.
Nice to have Steamworld and golf story in september.
Doom and Wolfenstein II are big surprises for me.

 

[Thirty3Three]

Well that was shit...

Do we know anything about Minecraft for the 3DS? Is it getting the infinite worlds and crossplay features, too? I'm assuming no because the 3DS is weak af.

brazil you richie kid >: )
problem? /shrugs
