Fire Emblem? Thank goodness they had SOMETHING.

 

[Salmonboy]

Why does every game look like ass, and also so much BAD ART!?

 

[Deerock71]

There's all your Resident Evils for you.

 

[Killer8]

Gladiator for weebs.

 

[Touch fuzZy. get BizZay]

great can wash the taste of Fire Emblem engage away

edit: looks pretty cool

 

[Leopold]

Yesss Fire Emblem!!

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

well that looks better than most of what we've seen before. my hype meter is still zero, though.

 

[keefged4]

Just when you think it cant get any worse, fucking awful direct.

MP 4 release date was the only decent thing about this.

Utter, utter pish.

 

[Dacvak]

They should have had this Direct on 9/11 since it's such a fucking tragedy.

 

[Stafford]

That was it?

 

[SupaComputa]

Why is every game look like ass, and also so much BAD ART!?

Silksong looks better than all of these, except maybe the Yoshi game which actually is interesting visually.

 

[KINGMOKU]

Finally. Something good.

 

[Salmonboy]

Yesss Fire Emblem!!

Looked like shit also

 

[Topher]

Could have been an email

 

[ebevan91]

SOTHIS?

 

[Gona_B_L8]

Just when you think it cant get any worse, fucking awful direct.

MP 4 release date was the only decent thing about this.

Utter, utter pish.

But left a sour taste with that awful footage

 

[Robb]

Eh.. Not really the announcements I was hoping for in this one.

I even found the Mario 40th anniversary stuff underwhelming.

But hey, Metroid Prime 4 is this year at least.

 

[RetroGamingUK]

nothing change with FE

What exactly were you expecting?

 

[ADiTAR]

Switch 2 is getting day and date RE game, this bodes well for other new releases.

I think it was totally ok direct, ppl over reacting. And considering the reactions to Playstation and Xbox presentations, we've eaten good and we are all full and nothing surprised us.

 

[Dr. Wilkinson]

WORST.DIRECT.EVER

Wow you truly cannot please everybody simultaneously. You'll get your Direct (...without Mario, Yoshi, DQ, Fire Emblem or Metroid...?) at some point and I'll be like Wow, that sucked. It's cyclical.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

DQ7 and FF7 only ones that interested me.

 

[AJUMP23]

They brought out the big host but left out the big games.

 

[Jinzo Prime]

Fire Emblem pulled it out of the fire, but only just!

 

[Dr. Suchong]

Wow, what a heap of shit!

 

[Davevil]

What exactly were you expecting?

New FUCKING MARIO

 

[TintoConCasera]

DQVII was a nice surprise. The rest, well, lmao.

 

[drotahorror]

ends with a gayRPG

 

[demigod]

What a lackluster direct.

 

[Fbh]

Fire Emblem looks cool, way better art direction than engage.
Hopefully it's not a higschool simulator like Three Houses though.

Other than that, shit direct and still zero interest in picking up a Switch 2.

 

[Oberstein]

Fire Emblem.... Don't care.

 

[Majukun]

Leave it to Nintendo to have direct for the 40 years of Mario without even the announcement of a new Mario game... It's not like they got blindsided by it..

 

[Jinzo Prime]

New FUCKING MARIO

Why? It was never going to happen this year, man.

 

[Mownoc]

Yeah, that was so far below Nintendo's usual September directs in quality. Really poor showing. It was endless ports. Fire Emblem was really the only thing of any note for me.

 

[Davevil]

Why? It was never going to happen this year, man.

shut up

 

[kazuyamishima]

1 hour and 5 mins.

 

[Dr. Wilkinson]

Did I miss it or was Elden Ring Tarnished a no-show today?

 

[RetroGamingUK]

New FUCKING MARIO

EAD have just released DK Bananza.

Give them a break!

 

[ThaMonkeyClaw]

Leave it to Nintendo to have direct for the 40 years of Mario without even the announcement of a new Mario game... It's not like they got blindsided by it..

Exactly what I was thinking, I was expecting a new Mario game, instead left with regurgitated Mario games instead.

 

[alphachino]

Did anyone else yawn? I yawned.

 

[Gambit2483]

No Elden Ring at all...? Huh..

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

What exactly were you expecting?

Not expecting, but hoping for (and not thinking this is like super unrealistic or too much)

a Mario 64 successor
a new Wave Race
a new F-Zero
a new Star Fox game that's not shit (shooter or adventure game)
a new 1080 Snowboarding
a new IP
...

really anything besides the usual FE, Zelda, Mario, Pokemon treadmill we're on for how long now?

 

[Danjin44]

Disappointed that there is no new Monolith Soft game.

But at least I got new Fire Emblem, Yoshi and DQVII Remake look forward to.

 

[LordCBH]

Fire emblem looked sick

 

[MagiusNecros]

Fire Emblem looks like a Three Houses sequel of sorts. Therefore not Shadows of Valentia quality. Big sad. The focus on the 3 different Lords probably means a retread of 3 routes. Not good.

 

[GoldenEye98]

I can only take so much cartoonslop....

I think that is the last direct I am watching. No reason to buy a Switch 2 anytime soon.

 

[Topher]

Was really hoping for more Switch big hitters patched for Switch 2. Xenoblade, Astral Chain, etc

 

[Dr. Wilkinson]

shut up

Yeah, they wanna sell you DK Bananza/ DLC if you don't have that yet, let that sell this holiday, and sell you Galaxy 1 + 2. That's your Mario this year til Wonder Switch 2 in Spring. And yeah, I mean does anyone here not think Galaxy 3 is their big 2026 holiday title? Has to be. Especially with the movie.

 

[Touch fuzZy. get BizZay]

right so as I was saying didn't get what I was hoping for, mostly a new monoliftsoft or enhanced xenoblades for switch 2.

But galaxy 2 alone makes it a good direct.

New Yoshi is good, DLC for bananza is good...

A date for prime 4 is good but bike stuff looked gimmicky in an open area. Sometimes it's important to remember that everyone from when retro made prime is gone. No guarantees this will be a game of that caliber even after 17 year development time.

That Fire Emblem at the end certainly looked good too.

 

[LordCBH]

Really disappointed there were no switch 2 updates for any of the Xenoblade games, cause they're all fucking ugly on the switch 2 whereas they looked ok on the switch.

Xenoblade X is especially a head scratcher since it came out so close to the switch 2

 

[ADiTAR]

MFs at Nintendo, I can't use my voucher because it'll expire when Metroid Prime beyond is released.
