Remaster/10

 

[darth.shrimp]

Baten Kaitos/10

 

[Golgo 13]

I give it a 4/10. Metroid is clearly a low-effort cash grab but Zelda still looks good.

 

[MirageMew2]

[SlimeGooGoo]

[R6Rider]

Nostalgia Purchases/10

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

an N.

for Nostalgia and Nothing New.

 

[AV]

Ports/10

I would like to know how many of you are actually genuinely going to play Metroid Prime on Switch anywhere outside of your home, not that you might, that you will

 

[EruditeHobo]

Dogshit.

But I will play a couple GBA games & the Metroid Prime remaster. Have to give it a 4 for those alone.

 

[SteadyEvo]

10 based on Metroid Prime alone
All I needed to see

 

[kingwingin]

10/10 been waiting too long for prime

 

[TintoConCasera]

Pros: octopath 2 demo, new layton

Cons: expansion passes, remasters

Meh/10

 

[Fbh]

3.
Bunch of old stuff (Baten Kaitos is cool though) and not much else.
Even the Zelda trailer was pretty crap

 

[AJUMP23]

Too many remakes or remasters.

Highlights were zelda, gameboy, Mario kart dlc, and metroid.

 

[Represent.]

Can you make the votes public?

 

[graywolf323]

I gave it an 8 but I feel like I'm more a 7.5, I was nice & rounded up

 

[ungalo]

Pretty shit as usual.

 

[The_hunter]

Happy for Etrian Odyssey and Advance wars.

 

[jshackles]

New Layton/10

 

[.Pennywise]

Can you make the votes public?

Why? Wanna police the votes?

 

[Portugeezer]

3/10

Mostly expansion shit and DLC shit, Metroid Prime Remaster is nice but looks worse than Dolphin emulation... Zelda short trailer was a slap in the face after 42 mins of crap, the trailer itself also wasn't good.

 

[Represent.]

Why? Wanna police the votes?

Its more fun. Plus I wanna see whos taste is the exact opposite of mine.

I'm one of the few 1/10 votes so far. I wanna see whos with me

 

[nial]

Terrible as always.

Etrian Odyssey
Metroid Prime 1

Zelda trailer was pretty standard

Pretty surprised with so many Level 5 announcement:

[Josemayuste]

10.

 

[gradient]

I'm giving it a 6

Pikmin 4
Prime Remaster shadow drop
Zelda

all elevated it, but holy hell there was a lot of DLC

 

[Dick Jones]

Jesus, I really liked it. Usually I'm the Debbie Downer here. I won't get Zelda but if my issues with BOTW are somewhat negated, I'll get it.

Also Kirby

 

[Shifty1897]

Also gave it a 9. Star Fox, F Zero, or a new Extreme Sports game (Wave Race, 1080, Excite) would have made it a 10.

 

[MagiusNecros]

3.

Ports, DLC passes, and Zelda coasting.

I think besides Zelda there is no big games to worry about atm.

 

[Touch fuzZy. get BizZay]

solid 8. lotta good things, lotta them are old things tho.

Need a few surprising new titles to score higher

 

[MagnesD3]

Gave it a 3.

Man, we used to get some ok directs sometimes, it feels like its been a long time since there was a good one. The best thing was the Metroid Prime Re shadow drop but its another old game that honestly doesnt need it even though it does look cool. If it were a Kid Icarus Uprising Remaster it would at least have Value due to the wrist problems on the 3DS but im pretty sick of seeing old games, games you dont get to own, anime games, half baked DLC or basic farm/sim/town crap. I wish there was just more new stuff. Still no 3d Mario, still tons of old amazing IP oil just sitting in the ground waiting to be mined out. Sigh. Smash Ultimate really carried most of the directs huh lol. Oh and uh Pikmin 4 added a dog, kewl I guess.

 

[SLB1904]

4/10
It was pretty much zelda trailer pre show

 

[Sojiro]

Personally a 9, Pikmin 4 footage looked great, Splatoon 3 Expansion, Metroid Prime 4 shadow drop, Etrian Odyssey bundle, new fantasy life, and the Zelda trailer were the real highlights for me. Also cool was GB/GBA for Nintendo online, Advance Wars release date (even though it should have been out by now), and the new track being made for MK8 wave 4, which looked fantastic. Lots of stuff in that direct I want to play, another good one for me.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

 

[jaysius]

You need a 0 option.

 

[Camreezie]

Advance wars date
Pikmin 4 date
GBA/GBC games
Metroid Prime shadowdrop

7 for me

 

[RoadHazard]

4/10, 5 if I'm being generous. Greedy Metroid port, Zelda underwhelming as hell, and the rest was pretty much trash. Pikmin looks alright I guess.

But I also just can't really feel excited about anything running on this incredibly outdated mobile hardware anymore. I NEED that Switch 2 yesterday.

 

[ADiTAR]

8/10
Pikmin 4
Gameboy/Advance
Metroid Fucking Prime
Advance Wars is alive
Zelda looks like it will allow you to modify traversal

 

[Romulus]

Kinda hard to be excited about ancient mobile hardware games when console gamers have decent hardware now and even really competent VR headsets, even steam deck. Just so many options that you pretty much need nonstop incredible games to keep switch relevant

 

[Calling 911 Melts Beams]

as usual they neglect adding the extensive back catalog of atari jaguar cd games

disappoint

 

[Lucifers Beard]

Liked the Zelda and Prime trailers. I also really dug that Dead Cells Castlevania DLC. I'm probably going to grab that at some point providing it's well priced.

 

[Punished Miku]

4/10

 

[Draugoth]

Pretty Average

 

[UnNamed]

6 to 7.

 

[kazuyamishima]

20/10

And they Have SO MUCH left in the Tank with the Switch, 2025 and Beyond for Switch 2 Baby!!!!

 

[LordOfChaos]

5, eminently mid

Mario will probably be for Xmas. Pretty sure the current Mario product they will focus on is the release of the movie in theaters.

 

[anab0lic36]

Went in with low expectations, still left disappointed. Mostly a DLC and remake compilation.

Watching this makes me realize that switching to mostly playing tabletop games, where that industry is thriving right now, was the right move. So little creativity and innovation happening in the video game space nowadays, remakes galore, and the new stuff really isn't new, its mostly just a retheme of something that was done before... and to make matters worse, usually with significantly dumbed down, devoid of any real challenge gameplay.

 

[Sakura]

I haven't watched it cuz I'm at work but judging by the threads on the front page, 5/10.
