Wow. I was actually surprised... Bethesda.. And still they didn't show anything from some of Nintendo's big franchises like Metroid Prime, Animal Crossing and SSB. I don't know about the rest of you guys, but I didn't feel this direct was only focusing on first/second party stuff at all, which has been what everyone has feared about the Switch even before it was announced.

 

[RustInPeace]

I'm surprised by the lack of Pokemon discussion, it is historic, that mid-generation games introduce new Pokemon. Not new forms, that's been done plenty of times (Necrozma thing lifts the Kyurem specialty), but actual new mons. Maybe no more new ones will be announced, but that and seeing the region sporting new areas at least makes this different enough to not pass off as a lazy sequel to SM. Difficulty, of course it will be ridiculously easy, but that's why ROMHacks exist.

I'm still hoping for tutor moves, when UB Assembly was shown off, it went against an Incineroar, and I thought that used Iron Defense (an ORAS tutor move) instead of the UB. And that Poke ball N2DSXL is sexy, hopefully the Celebi event can be shiny (I doubt it).

 

[Pluupy]

It's spelled "Lyn", guys. Lyndis in Fire Emblem Warriors.

That aside, all I need in life is Megaten.

Super Mario Bros VS is enough for me.. For now..

 

[DeslotlCL]

Is it sad that im more interested on the 3ds games rather than the switch ones? lol

 

[Thirty3Three]

It's actually Lynn, also. Depending on the 'game'.

 

[DrkBeam]

So a mario party game for the 3ds as well a Kirby game with heavy emphasis in multiplayer.
I was surprised about doom being ported for the switch, obviously it will have adaptive resolution and it might run sub native in portable mode, I wonder if it will maintain 60fps, this game is a technical wonder for the consoles counterpart, going to see the digital foundry analysis about this game, apparently it runs pretty well in lower end machines

 

[StarTrekVoyager]

Hahahahaha the idiots who expected a Smash or Animal Crossing announcement in September

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

No, really, the people saying ig was shit apparently missed the fact it was a fucking September Direct, not an E3 presentation or live show. They can't, and won't, announce anything major. I found this direct to be great, it could've been dhit.

 

[RedoLane]

Nintendo: Remember all the times when we destroyed your friendships?
INTRODUCING! MARIO PARTY - ULTIMATE FRIENDSHIP DESTROYER EDITION!
Now with the top 100 mini games which made your ex girlfriend and pals break up with you completely!

Jokes aside, the Kirby games looks nice. Might buy the 3DS one when it's released.

Seems possible.

 

[Kikirini]

Lyn being in FE Warriors is the big news for me. Can't wait to play as her.
Also interested in checking out that Project Octopath demo.

 

[delta nite]

brazil you richie kid >: )
problem? /shrugs

I live in Brazil too, near the border with Paraguay. Went there yesterday and purchased a neon 1.0.0 Switch for $360 (dollars btw).
Sadly no money left for any games so I think I'll just keep making Miis until I have enough money to get BotW or backup loading is released. Not sure what will come first, I've actually been saving since fricking March to get the system.
