It's really "I didn't see the exact thing I wanted to see so this Direct was a bad one".

I suppose that's probably more like it. Personally, I got my metroid content at E3, and all I'm waiting for is AC, so I was pretty content with what we got.

What are folks clamoring for these days? the only thing I can think of is smash.

The last direct/e3 that I've seen get universal praised was from the 2013 E3 conference.

Said it on another board, but I don't get the disappointment. It's a clean 8/10 for me. Really missed the pooch on no OS update or at least a web browser. This is why people have to hack your shit Nintendo since you leave out the basic features this far out after launch.

That, and no new Switch game is a huge bummer, otherwise it was great. A Riot Games MOBA, two Kirbys, 3DS support, Mario Odyssey looks breath taking, plenty of new RPGs (Octopath looks CRAZY), etc.

Lame Direct. The Switch still looks like it's worth it though, primarily because of Odyssey.

Also buff Dedede was cool.

Kirby, Yoshi, Metroid: Samus Returns and Metroid Prime 4 were the big announcements IIRC. And the great Mario Odyssey trailer.

This is tangential, but the fact that they just launched their first update to the switch ios app YESTERDAY is just so abysmal. Like, I know there's no reason to use it w discord and all, but like, it took them nearly two months to allow you to remain in voice chat while your phone is in standby and that is soooooooo bad

Basically a lot of 2018/2019 releases and Mario. At least this was all about upcoming releases. That alone makes it 20 times better imo

Yeah, I saw the update and I said to myself "they're just adding this wtf." Craziness man. This would be perfect to watch Netflix on the go. Seems like something you would want day one.

Ohh damn haha. That had Super Mario 3D World's announcement, Smash Bros hype and Link Between Worlds IIRC.

Smash Bros hype is usually pretty contagious.

But overall, this direct was pretty disappointing.


sorry to pick on this comment in particular, but what even makes a good Nintendo direct? I've watched every one that's happened for years, and the reaction always seems to be negative. Like, has there ever been a direct that genuinely pleased everyone?

CE just likes to bitch. The E3 one was good

Nah, it was the ultimate dick tease of "wait and see for half a year to multiple years from now."

THIS is what I wanted their E3 to be. Shadow drops and info on older games, with a few new games in between.

I can see why you'd prefer it like that. Personally, I've always seen E3 as being a tease of things to come over the next year or two, so I was really pleased with it. But honestly, it could have been 29 minutes of literal dumpster fire footage and that prime 4 announcement and I would have been happy. this was the first time in years I wasn't hoping for a metroid, mostly cause I just couldn't take being let down again. But there it was! Two of em!

Well see I'm perfectly fine and expect future releases (Sony 2016 is one of my favorites and those games I expected for late 2017 to 2018), but only showing a logo for Metroid because they didn't want backlash from the 3DS game, and not even showing as much as a photo of Pokemon just says those games are probably 2019 releases, which isn't that hype for me. If they gave us a trailer, maybe, but a mere logo and not even that for Pokemon, it may as well be a name on a sheet of paper.

I'm really interested in that Pokémon game. Pokémon went annual with the main series when platinum released. they haven't missed a year since. I can't imagine they would skip out on 2018, but just about everyone I've talked to doesn't expect it before 2019.

I thought it was a great Direct. Lots of stuff shown. Wolfenstein being on Switch has made me add it to my list of games to get. Doom is great too, but I already have that on Xbox One. Mario Party Top 100 will probably be fun, but I would prefer to have it on Switch with online play. Xenoblade is looking good and its nice to have a date confirmed for December, but I wont be getting it any time soon.

Cough Cough 2015...

It wasn't even that long ago lol. If they skipped back then when the 3DS was mid generation and they could reuse assets, they're going to take even longer making a full console experience for the first time, especially since they said they want to make this different from previous games.

If they can't even bother giving us names, you can bet your ass it's going to take a while. Like I said, Reggie literally came out and said they only announced Prime 4 even though it's not even close to being ready to prevent backlash from the 3DS game. They clearly did the same for Pokemon, and if they have to force out announcements because of fans and they aren't even close to ready themselves, that tells you that they legitimately are not ready.

Yes, what I was trying to say was that all I was expecting from the direct was XC2 release date, but DOOM and Wolfenstein II are a nice surprise.

I wonder how much the Special Edition is going to cost.

After thinking about it, MP on 3DS makes zero sense. Switch is lacking in the board game genre and the 3DS literally just got a new Mario Party game not even a year ago. Seems like a very weird decision all around.

yeah yeah, I goofed. but, in my quest for baseless Nintendo optimism, I'll try to draw parallels to how they handled the DS to 3DS transition.Gen V came out the year the 3DS came out (as well as the year after) to give them time to prepare X&Y for a worldwide release on the system. This could be a similar situation!

Let me tell you, I was much more confident in this argument when I thought it was just BW2 that came out after the 3DS released (like, four edits ago.) I was wrong. Again. My Pokémon dates are pretty wrong.

I'm so blinded by my love for metroid that I can't even comprehend people being mad at a legitimate release on any platform, so I'll have to take your word there.

Seriously, I have edited this post like, five times. It's a disaster.

I have been saying for 20 years now that they need to release a Mario Party mini-game compilation.

Why the fuck did they put it on 3DS though?? I still love and play my 3DS, but that kind of game is PERFECT for what the Switch stands for. One console and instant multiplayer. It'd be perfect. None of my friends bring their 3DSes anywhere anymore, so it'll likely just be me and the Mrs. playing those mini-games by ourselves -_-

That said, presentation was fantastic. I don't think I can be more hyped for a game than I am with Odyssey right now.
