We might get some fire emblem engage dlc talk too

Whoops how could I forget, Pikmin info also

Deca police
Sea of stars demo
It was a decent direct to me.

Another show of remasters that will be praised by the faithful. Nintendo gets graded on a fukking curve something serious.

 

[tripleaamin]

minish cap too

Man it only took them 6 years.

[Return of the Jedi]

Game Boy and GBA games on Switch are a low-key fantastic update.

I need confirmation that TOTK isn't going to reuse the Hyrule map.

Solid Nintendo direct, but man, Nintendo's really leaning into re-releases and remasters. Hope this means a Super Switch is coming.

 

[Return of the Jedi]

Mario is for everyone.

Fire Emblem and this Xenoblade/Splatoon shyt is for basement dwellers who practice their Japanese script so they can write to their long-distance Japanese girlfriend who is actually some dude running a scam in the pen.

Splatoon's for kids, bro. My niece plays it. She's 9.

Seems like Nintendos winding down the switch. Wouldn’t be surprised if they are relying on ToTK to carry them through the holidays with maybe Pokemon Scarlet/Violet DLC

It's gotta be, because there's no way they are leaving this catalog to die on the switch. They gotta be going for new hardware that's compatible with the old software ala Xbox

 

[TheNatureBoy]

Finished watching, not much for me to get personally excited for.

Biggest thing was the Metroid Prime remaster dropping, but I remember having that game in HS on the Gamecube.

Them finally putting GBA games on Switch Online

 

[The Wolf Among You]

They ain’t really show shyt from BOTW till right before release. Y’all can doubt it you want, but the track record is there

When the leaked TotK Switch OLED model didn’t show up I knew we were getting a Zelda focused Direct closer to its launch.

And just as expected they rating this shyt an A on ERA off Metroid Prime remastered alone.



Let’s not mention how the TLOUR was the end of the world.

 

[Grand Conde]

Some cool indies but overly long.
