A couple of release date for what we already know was coming and should have had release dates years ago (e.g. SMTxFE)
Not even some talk about Zelda U (weak as hell)
Not even specific release dates for DQs (fucking weak)
Trying to justify Armored Wimps: Federation Force.... didn't work for me, still not liking it.
Snes on N3DS... I got a PSP around a decade ago, you know what, SNES worked there quite well.
ETC: Etc...
Nothing new or unexpected, I'm bored.

Disappoint for the masses.

N3ds-only snes vc? Federation force is still a thing and still looks like a ds game?? (Loved prime hunters though, was really good) 3ds amiibo based game?
Not excited at all. This direct was mostly dissappointing, welp... At least they talked about MH generations.

The only thing that really stood out was Monster Hunter. Star Fox was all right, too, but still. I was hoping for Zelda stuff, but I guess it'd make sense for them to show that at a later point. (ie A game conference like E3)

For those that play Splatoon that may have been nice too, idk.

Overall, nothing to appealing. So, about what I expect going into any Direct. Low expectations prevented me from being to disappointed yet again. I await the day I'm actually impressed by one of these things.

Can't wait for horse sex simulator though. :rofl2:
I suppose @Bimmel will be happy about that, not a Pegasus but somewhat near to it.

PS: Fuck gamestop, put your asses to work and update the game listing, I want to preorder Fire Emblem Fates SuperSpecial Edition Europe.

It's only the beginning - sodomy in games is just around the corner. "Pegasi love simulator, petting on a new level".

They did take their time for the Fire Emblem release. It's so late - and we get nothing in return. But maybe we get more things.. censored. ;-)

No ones going to mention the utterly dissapointing Paper Mario game they showed? I went from hype to dissapointed in about a second when I saw that card system, and the Kersti paint can thing. Nintendo is dying. I've been a fan since I can remember but... it just really isn't the same.

Edit: One person is excited.

Am I one of the few persons actually waiting and exciting for the dragon quest games? No wonder why it's so hard to find in Europe nowadays :(

7 has been out in japan for ages, so everyone has an idea of what they're getting into. A release date is what was really needed. 8 is looking to be a kind of lackluster port so I can see why some people would look past it.

I would really get both of them whenever they release.
I started 8 on my PS2, but for some reason didn't get too far (life I suppose, I was very busy with college and didn't have time to play), later I moved away, etc., my PS2 is 12000Km away from me now, and whatever. Would be glad to start to play it again on 3DS.

  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
