Vast majority of people still playing single-player story-driven games are in their 30s and 40s now, very hard to pull the younger generations away from their Fortnite and Roblox because that's what they've grown up with.

You do realize people do both right? You can play mobile games and console games. Video games aren't the dying medium the doomers say it is.

It hasn't even been 2 years and already we have Mario Kart World, Bananza, Kirby Air Riders, Hyrule Warriors, Mario Tennis, Pokopia, Fire Emblem, Xenoblade Genesis, Ocarina of Time, Yoshi, Splatoon Raiders, The Duskbloods, Orbitals

And that's not counting cross gen games or switch 2 editions.
Please, tell me which other system has that many exclusives in such a short amount of time.

Yet, many people seem to trash everything in this direct because of two things:
- No reveal
- No Mario 3D
- Muh just RPGs

To the first, stop listening to leaks, and you will start enjoying these events again.
To the second, Bananza was that game. Maybe we'll get another one soon, maybe it will take longer, but we'll get one eventually. In the meantime, there were many reveals in this direct that made a lot of people happy... just maybe not you, and that's okay.
To the last, last year didn't have any.

But you really can't say the switch 2 is just ports.
Ports of 3rd party don't hurt the platform. Switch 2 editions don't hurt the platform. If you can't stand looking at them, just look at the list of switch 2 exclusive above.

That's still quite a bit in a year and a half.

(That isn't to say this direct was perfect, the pacing was really awkward and the Ocarina of Time reveal was lackluster, but in general? Lots of good stuff ahead this year)

It could've been a better Direct. Wish to see more about the OoT remake, but I think it will be in a seperate direct like they did for Star Fox and Mario Kart.

The bad part about the direct is a lot of shovelware and the average Steam games... So I call it. No Wario, Mario, F-Zero pls?

Love the Donkey Kong challenges though. That was totally unexpected.

A lot of great titles coming to the switch 2. A lot of people will enjoy these older games being ported up to a portable console who didn’t play them when they first came out.

Very poor Direct imho.

Yes, the OoT remake is probably cool but we have Ship of Harkinian and also this dude:

I doubt it'll look nearly as good as his work.
Also why not finally porting the HD editions of Wind Waker and Twilight Princess from the Wii U?

Then there's Sports Resort for the Switch 2, which is almost exactly what Switch Sports should have been from the very beginning. Instead Switch Sports was a poor small selection of games, being released after we had a game like Resort on the Wii and it even took ages to add more sports to it via updates.
Instead this is a Switch 2 exclusive now. Of course. Although I even own a Switch 2, I think this is ridiculous.

Kingdom Hearts is cool though for those who like the games. And I'll keep an eye on the new Dragon Quest Monsters although my hopes are pretty lowered after all those recent entries to the series.

Biggest letdowns?
No Super Mario Galaxy 3.
No update or anything for Mario Kart World. (still no 200 ccm! it's just embarassing at this point)

FE is $80 physical. Someone told me in the past that this isn't the case lmao.

Ocarina of time remake sounds epic... but could they like ensure the water temple is a lot easier!?

This remake > SoH no questions asked, even with mods and textures. The fan made game is never going to see completion.

But I am surprised Nintendo didn't port TPHD and WWHD given how they love porting/milking the same games.

Second ever Zelda remake since Link's Awakening, aiming for a more lifelike aesthetic this time? I'm happily playing through the original on a MiSTer, but by now it felt like this would never happen. The trailer reveals too little to say much and I'm certainly not going to have a Switch 2 anytime soon, but I'm mildly curious about what they will end up releasing.
