What was your favorite reveal from yesterday's Nintendo Direct?

[Chary]

Nintendo put out a fairly packed Direct yesterday, revealing a lineup of games heavily focused on remasters and nostalgia. We saw updates to new games like Kirby and the Forgotten Land, with the new quicky mouthful ability, and updates to new-old games like Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Edition. Out of the reveals from the Nintendo Direct, which one caught your eye the most? If you missed out on watching the Direct live, you can catch up on what got announced in our coverage thread.

MK8 DLC totally took me by surprise and I'm looking forward to playing that.

 

[CoolMe]

Probably Klonoa? Finally the series is being remembered, even if it's just a remaster (i presume?) which is still a good thing. Though i still haven't seen the live stream yet..

So much to choose from being someone that pretty much only plays JRPGs. But for me my favourite was only shown on the Japanese Direct and it's not even a JRPG . The Centennial Case: A Shijima Story looks bloody awesome.

Wow; neither of my favs got a single vote from anyone else!

Edit: I just realized I'm a bit early here.

Chrono and Sports; whats not to like? Also Pripyat Kirby!

Just like @Lostbhoy

Completely unexpected, though very hype about !
I wish they planned some brand new tracks...

Agreed.... Hopefully they're holding them back for MK9...... (tumbleweed)

The wiimotes worked well in Wii Sports. Do people think the joycons will as well ?

Xenoblade Chronicles 3

 

[godreborn]

my friend @Glyptofane emailed me with some of the highlights from the direct, but I actually did watch it as I was gaming, so I'd glance over to my pc with each new reveal. I though tit was quite a good direct: Mario Kart 8 courses, which I guess I get for free since I'm on the expansion pack, Earthbound (though I'd prefer a new one in the series), Klonoa 1 and 2, Front Mission 1 and 2, Live a Live, which I think I've played on the sfc, Xenoblade Chronicles 3, and Chrono Cross, which I did beat on the original psx iirc.

Radical Dreamers and hearing "Satellaview" be mentioned nonchalantly.

 

[Izual Urashima]

My favorite ? Definitely Live A Live HD-2D.

Too bad it's a Switch exclusive though, I'd have loved playing this on PC.

 

[Shallie]

Never would I have ever expected for Klonoa to come back. 7 year old me is losing her mind lol
Having another platform to buy the portal games on is also great

 

[Tweaker_Modding]

i’m really looking forward to portal companion collection

playing these classics on the go would be a blast

 

[rusty shackleford]

I was hoping for some Bayonetta 3 news. But overall the showcase was phenomenal.

 

[Glyptofane]

My favorite ? Definitely Live A Live HD-2D.

Too bad it's a Switch exclusive though, I'd have loved playing this on PC.

Live A Live and not just a port of it was such a surprise and has to be my favorite announcement, although I expect Xenoblade Chronicles 3 to have a bigger impact on my future.

As for least favorite, the battle pass bullshit in Chocobo GP is very disappointing. I was initially very excited for this revival, but will now likely never touch it.

Kind of a tie for me between Mario Strikers and Kirby Forgotten Land. I'll have to give Klonoa a shot too, as I've never played one of those games.
