So SEGA was there for the already known 13 Sentinels release date and Atlus was there for a new trailer of the already known Catherine Full Body Switch port.

What a tease.

Not to mention that they got Danganronpa's Kodaka up there to say nothing more than "pls wait for more news" which we already have been doing...

We got the tiniest of teases for No More Heroes 3 gameplay, but Suda was specifically in front of the gameplay so it couldn't be seen well.

NISA got Trails of Cold Steel again because for some reason let's continue to let them mishandle the series over XSEED I guess.

I especially loved that Escape From Asura game that showed us barely a screenshot and were like OK THANKS BYE GUYS.

Their big tease was Ys IX, wheee, as if there was any doubt of that coming west after the success of the previous ones lately. I'm glad to see it, but...again, NISA. I'll have to wait an extra year for it to be tolerable, if VIII was any indication.

And at least a quarter of the "reveals" were release dates we already knew or games we already knew were coming out, like Re Zero or Death end Re quest 2.

Ugh. At least the Shiren the Wanderer game looks nice and is on a platform I'll finally care for now, and Curse of the Moon 2 is nice to see. Also dare I say I see a small modicum of effort from Natsume trying to make an actually okay Harvest Moon game?

No new Castlevania since PS3, 3DS, and PS4 for the next consoles ? :(
To me bloodstained is the new castlevania. I can’t really say there has been anything good about castlevania since the main guy left Konami. Now I think all Konami does is publish their game titles while someone else develops it.

I know but dont get me wrong. It is awesome however 8 bit again ? And I really want Castlevania from PS3 and PS4 to be continue or a brand new story for PS5. Nintendo Switch isn't possible for it. I guess we will have to wait and see. I am huge fan of Castlevania since NES when I was kid.

Not too surprising to see Inti Creates carried this event. I keep trying and failing to get into the older Ys games too, but maybe I should skip to the more "modern" ones since IX looks pretty good.
