First time seeing LonelyStoner, I see.

No, it's not. I like him when he is chill, but he gets way too riled up for little or no reason.

I've been paying half-attention because I want to go into these games as blind as possible, so I might tap out of the stream.

If you want to go in as blind as possible, why would you tune into this stream at all?

MK World, DK Bananza, and MP Beyond seem like must buys for me.

It's kinda hard to justify those prices though...

Same. MK World's definitely gonna be a bundle situation since it's like $50 instead of $80 that way, Metroid Prime 4 is a must-have for me since I'm a Metroid superfan, but other games that look really fun I may have to wait for retailer deals.

Have they announced anything new about the Gamecube games?

Not yet. Just quick glances, they've done Mario Kart, Donkey Kong, Prime 4, MK again, and are doing the paid tech demo thing right now.

I hope so, but it also looks like it might go too far in the way of giving the player freedom that it might end up somewhat aimless

Thanks.

TOTK was glorified DLC

What are they showing now? The new versions of the Zelda games? Can't check right now, I'm out doing errands.

Nintendo should just release a statement just outright saying the price is because of tariffs. If the tariffs go away, the price will come down.

I also feel like they should, but my experience is that it's not really the Japanese way; like they're complaining when they're "supposed" to be all proper and apologetic and shit. Been playing FF14 for a while, and the same kind of thing happens when it comes to certain development announcements of that game too.

Lol, it's been hours and the live chat of the stream is STILL just a repeating bunch of "drop the price". It feels amazing to see the consistency, actually.

Sadly, as much as I also want to see a price drop, I don't think Nintendo actually pays any attention to the live chat......

the DK game look better than I thought, and the zelda games look even better, not sure how much use I will get from the zelda note app except for the daily bonus.

Had they announced before that the upgrade packs for previous Switch games are free if you have NSO Expansion? That's cool, atleast.

Only 4 games I think. Is it all of them?

I don't remember if it was on the Direct, but that was confirmed yesterday.

DK looks surprisingly good. It's basically Hulk Ultimate Destruction but DK lol wish there was more significant platforming but whatever.

That wheel chair game actually looks fun. If it were a $20-$30 it would be a definite buy but it's not looking that way lol

DragxDrive needs some visual sauce. Gameplay looks fun but visually it's very bland.

Watching MKW Free Roam gameplay makes me want an open world Mario where you can travel around by kart/bike. Basically a Mario take on GTA.

E3 dying and them changing the format to much smaller timeframes is likely what causes it. They used to take most of the day, for several days. Now they just try to pack stuff in to like, three hours, and move from segment to segment much more quickly.
