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.

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
    for people with beefy hands.

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that's a long shot
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    lmao

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.
  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
