Nintendo Direct Mini January 2018

Otherwise this direct was just missing the smash 4 port announcement

At this point, they may have skipped doing a port and just went straight to Smash 5.

Really hope Mario Tennis doesn't suck ass like the Wii U iteration did

 

[Polopop123]

So much for all the things those leakers said. They set high expectations are it didn’t meet it. Not saying the direct was bad at all and considering it is a mini direct it’s quite good

 

[Saiyan Lusitano]

So, mostly a bunch of old games being re-released on the Switch. Yay.

Deja Vu...

Meh. It was alright.
Guess it's nice that more people can enjoy Dong Kong now. TF was a great game.

Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze coming to Switch May 4th

Oh my God yes!!!!!!!
First the Black Widow movie yesterday and now this

This one might be much better. There seems to be more effort put into it compared to the 3DS remaster they put on Wii U. Though...the gameplay seems to be sticking to that formula. Not a fan of those shots being marked on the floor. But i'm definitely getting it.

 

[RedoLane]

Looks like it'll be a while before we'll see those 3 trademarked titles from Bandai Namco.

 

[VMM]

That Direct was pretty fucking lame. Most were ports and titles already announced. The new games were uninteresting.

I know that It was nearly Impossible to live up to people's expectations, but this Direct was Just terrible.

 

[the_randomizer]

Still better than those 3DS only Directs in the past.

 

[KevinLSX]

More ports

 

[Mnecraft368]

No 5.0.0 Announcement :/
Nothing that good even for a Mini Direct.

Too good to be true.. ;/

Will Mario Tennis give us amazing motion controls?

 

[Mnecraft368]

Too good to be true.. ;/

Maybe it will be a random update that they "casually" release without warning?

 

[m_babble]

They're really trying to milk the highlights from the Wii U roster with these re-releases. I'm mostly excited about a new Kirby game.

 

[Thirty3Three]

HYRULE WARRIORS!! I FUCKING KNEW IT WAS COMING!!! <3<3<3

Do we know if it's Legends or just a sequel or...?

 

[VMM]

Wonder when Virtual console will be released, it's about bloody time

 

[deinonychus71]

how do you assume 3 would be better? ds2 on the xb1 has the same crappy mechanics...at least i believe it does. i only ever tried ds2. even after reading a beginners i gave up after days of dying n getting lost. Never made it out of the forest. nope. series isnt for me and i wouldnt recommend to any one, hardcore casual or any one in between. to quote the original dk country team, "people love medicore games and we can't understand why"

anyways, they said DK is going to be apart of a second wave of dlc packs. does this mean the mario + rabbits will have a second season pass and a platuim edition later on?

I only said that because his complains about dark souls makes me think he tends towards players who like more assisted playthroughs, which Dark Souls 3 provides.
