July 21st! Day one.

 

[Neoxon]

SPLATOON 2 ON JULY 21ST!!!!!

 

[RichiRamjag]

July is fair enough.

 

[Pyrokai]

They said they were focusing on Arms and Splatoon and people are mad that megatons weren't dropped?

 

[Falchion]

That's a long wait for Splatoon 2.

 

[jonno394]

That was a pretty great direct imo.

 

[Chaos17]

That was fast and furious direct, lol

 

[Apharmd]

AAA JULY 21st

 

[Reich]

Boring.

 

[cyba89]

Virtual Console dream is DEAD

 

[WizardofPeace]

YES, July 21st!

 

[BronzeWolf]

July 21st is weird date.

But I guess Japan don't care

 

[Fantastical]

Early than I expected after the ARMS date

 

[Triforce141]

Splatoon 2's locking custom loadout behind amiibo, bleh?

 

[Lee Chaolan]

July 21st, alright

 

[Galang]

Surprised at that release date. So close to arms!! Cool!

 

[NotLiquid]

Shiiiiit July 21st

That was a good Direct

 

[Jonneh3003]

What the hell that was pretty much just ARMS and Splatoon 2! Preorder cancelled.

It was actually a great presentation with some nice surprises, very hyped for Monster Hunter Stories.

 

[Trago]

Alrighty, we got release dates, that's all I wanted. We gots them

 

[Spy]

concern trolling maybe

lol. I guess I'm not allowed to be concerned about the lack of games on a console I own.

 

[Tom Nook]

Getting a Switch on 7/21.

 

[LegendX48]

Splatoon 2 horde mode looks pretty cool

 

[Anth0ny]

damn they are set from April-July

 

[NOLA_Gaffer]

Is the dock actually different?

Different than what?

 

[NinjaCoachZ]

July? Sounds about what I figured. Not bad. The new amiibos look snazzy too.

 

[Kusagari]

Splatoon 2 the same day as the Smash Amiibo's?

hmm

 

[eMpTy23]

Exactly how I feel... I guess we have to wait for E3...

 

[Gleethor]

Later than expected for Arms, sooner than expected for Splatoon

 

[decoyplatypus]

July 21? When is the DQ11 launch, again?

 

[Dougieflesh]

Well at least Fire Emblem and Splatoon 2 looked interesting.

 

[Shaanyboi]

Wow WAY sooner than I thought.

 

[scottnak]

Start the countdown!

July 21!!

 

[StayDead]

July 21st is my Birthday month. I might just have to take some time off work!

 

[Piggus]

That wasn't Animal Crossing.

 

[Flying Toaster]

Eh, not great but not shitty. I will accept this one as not bad.

 

[Deleted member 10571]

I liked everything I saw Good Direct!

 

[Ashodin]

So Mario Kart in may, ARMS in June, Splatoon 2 in July? I can dig it.

 

[LucidMomentum]

Splatoon 2's locking custom loadout behind amiibo, bleh?

Not really, it's more a way to take your setup to your friend's house.

 

[Peléo]

Went in expecting information about Splatoon 2 and ARMS. Left satisfied.

 

[AGoodODST]

That was pretty decent.

Splatoon 2 looks great.

 

[OverturePT]

They said they were focusing on Arms and Splatoon and people are mad that megatons weren't dropped?

Never fails. And then have nothing new to show at E3 as well.

 

[Rarius]

They said they were focusing on Arms and Splatoon and people are mad that megatons weren't dropped?

Considering not even a mention of... like any core features that the switch is still missing until E3 possibly, that's baad

 

[Delio]

It's not hating. It's legitimate concern. I was being optimistic and hopeful but we got a whole lot of nothing with ARMS being a June release, what is there if you own a Xbox One or PlayStation 4? They better have an amazing showing come E3.

Huh? Why are you concerned what other people spend their money on? Also you can play more than one console.

 

[JCH!]

Splatoon 2 looks great, day 1.

Still not decided about ARMS, though.

 

[PSFan]

Today I learned Nintendo Directs really suck without Iwata.

 

[I Wanna Be The Guy]

So Nintendo has nothing for May. Fuck sake.

 

[DashReindeer]

July 21 is considerably earlier than I think most people were expecting Splatoon 2. That must mean that there is a healthy lineup of games coming the rest of the year. Otherwise that game would come late August to fill some gaps in the lineup.

 

[Ricky 7]

Yeah I knew not to expect much from this direct.

 

[Etzer]

As a 2DS owner, I'm pretty happy with this Direct.

 

[kadotsu]

I wonder if they have data on the demographics which watch these presentations? They must be 80% in the 10-14 range to use that style of presentation.
