Support NeoGAF

[cormack12]

 

[Peroroncino]

EEEEEEExtremely shitty

 

[Baemono]

C. I have no interest in most of the games, but it shows that we will get more current gen support than the Switch ever had (like pretty much all games showed were new/current gen)

 

[Draugoth]

Worst in ages

 

[LordCBH]

 

[IDKFA]

A because it's Nintendo.

 

[Flabagast]

Very weak, especially since the console just launched. Third party support remains as barebones as ever on Nintendo consoles

 

[cabbage5k2]

I would rate this as probably the worst direct I've seen in ages. The fuck was this shitshow.

 

[Xion_Stellar]

Ehhh not much was announced that appealed to me.

C at most.

 

[Polygonal_Sprite]

Might be the worst one I've ever seen live.

 

[Mr Hyde]

B.

Cronos the New Dawn was the highlight for me. But Square Enix new action-rpg looked really good too as well as Monster Hunter Stories 3. P3 Reload and Outlaws is nice to have too on a rainy day.

Unfortunately the Direct was filled with lots of filler trash that nobody gives a fuck about. FF7 Remake and Elden Ring still missing in action but I suspect Nintendo wants to give those games the spotlight in a proper Direct.

 

[Deerock71]

Not enough. I figured going in 25 minutes seemed a little short.

 

[Kilau]

Selling my Switch 2.

I never watch these things lol.

 

[Danjin44]

C

These two games I'm excited about.

 

[Kacho]

I marked out for the new Katamari but that's it.

Rated E because the overall "wow" factor was nonexistent.

 

[keefged4]

Chronos, Katamari and maybe Ocotopath 0. All of which I'll get on Steam. Absolute shite.

 

[PeteBull]

Would rate D but last 2 games made it a B, so very solid, especially considering its just a partners showcase.
Suprisingly SW:O footage looked much improved vs first switch2 trailer too so big plus for that.

 

[Pasta la Vista]

F

 

[Minari]

Imagine switch is your only platform for a moment..

I'd be down bad asscrack for actual games!

 

[Punished Miku]

C -

3 new reveals. None of them really set the house on fire. MHS3, OT Zero, and Adventures of Elliot. Persona is a good add for people actually wanting 3rd party stuff on Switch, which is the point of this direct.

That camping game alone dropped it from a C to a C - . I can't go into D territory with 3 decent new reveals. It was ... fine for a small partner showcase. The highlight was Octopath. It didn't have sky high expectations and was appropriate for the most part.

 

[FeastYoEyes]

This is a piss poor showing for a new console.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Gave it a C. Didn't care, didn't watch yet they still show 2 games I'm interested in.

 

[Banjo64]

I've gone with a C.

I wasn't expecting it, at all, considering how long it took for a PS5/Series patch - Apex Legends being here was a megaton for me.

Another megaton - Sparking Zero. Considering the lack of discount sales for the game so far I'll probably buy day one. How TF are they getting this game running on the OG Switch?

 

[kruis]

Highlight of this Nintendo Direct. This game would have been absolutely impossible on the regular Switch. The multi player is the cherry on top.

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

Game of the Generation right here

 

[Judge Magister]

E.

 

[Sojiro]

For me it would be a B based on games I want. Octopath 0, Elliot, P3 and New Katamari are definite buys. Maybe MH Stories 3, and Cronos as well. If you aren't into JRPGs I can see this direct being awful for you though.

 

[Jack Videogames]

I don't buy nintendo consoles for the third parties... but yeah not super good

 

[Arsic]

Woke up to see no MP4 release date?

Do I even need to watch this direct? wtf

 

[Gripsx]

Game of the Generation right here

4 dads chopping wood with the cam on

 

[That Damn Kid]

 

[Griffon]

If you're a big JRPG fan who really need new ones even if they're just alright, it's amazing.

I'm not.

D.

 

[Robb]

Partner Showcase so I didn't bother watching. I've seen all announcements though and there's nothing for me. So had I watched I imagine it'd be the lowest score possible.

TEMPERATURE RISING

 

[Lokaum D+]

C, a lots of third party games to be played at lower res and frames on Switch 2

 

[saintjules]

Seems people were getting excited for a Direct and it's nothingburger mostly.

 

[NeoIkaruGAF]

S for Square Enix.

Seriously, they could have spared us the suffering and just announced the two Sqex games. The rest had like 3 vaguely interesting games. Now we know why they aired this on July 31.

Anyway, why do zoomers hate gameplay? How do you even come up with the idea of that fire-lighting "game" and decide to go ahead with it?

 

[Zuzu]

The Adventures of Elliot piqued my interest but I'll probably get it on my PS5 Pro. Other than that nothing was much interesting. Maybe Octopath Traveller 0 but I might be done with that series after I finish 2. So I give it a D.

 

[Coloress_Kafka]

Game of the Generation right here

That guy on the left looks like he's ready to bust all over the fire.

 

[UltimaKilo]

C

These two games I'm excited about.

I don't know how… The Adventures of Elliot, who the fuck hired that voice actor for the fairy? Who thought that annoying voice was a good idea?

 

[Mr Moose]

F. For forgot it was on.

 

[Buggy Loop]

The square enix games including FF tactics all good

Cronos including switch 2 on launch day is surprising

That's pretty much it

D

 

[RoadHazard]

There were a few games I could possibly imagine playing. So D I guess.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

E for Incredibly Awesome.

 

[zapper]

I was expecting much better third party support, instead it seems like the same path as Switch 1. Overall one of the worst directs I've ever seen.

 

[Certinty]

One of the biggest wastes of 30 minutes in my entire life.

 

[AddiF]

E - I was bored. Thankfully I didn't expect much but this was way less than I expected. Nothing of interest.

 

[Inanilmaz]

Katamari

 

[Danjin44]

I don't know how… The Adventures of Elliot, who the fuck hired that voice actor for the fairy? Who thought that annoying voice was a good idea?

Well I most likely playing in Japanese voice….the actual game looks hella of fun.

 

[Flabagast]

Would rate D but last 2 games made it a B, so very solid, especially considering its just a partners showcase.
Suprisingly SW:O footage looked much improved vs first switch2 trailer too so big plus for that.

Don't agree, Outlaws looks really bad imho and severly downgraded vs. current gen.

It runs, sure
