I did a (albeit flawed) point system; I added a point for every game I saw that I would actually buy and play. I didn't count indie games if I'd rather play them on Switch. My final score was 7 out of however many games were announced. If anyone is bothered to work out what percentage that is of the total games shown, then that's my score out of 10.
For those wondering: >Mario RPG remake (I like the new OPTIONAL additions) >Peach game (looks like it could be fun. I like the villain design.) >Tomb raider trio (I bought the first one years ago on steam on sale and had to do all sort of shit to actually get it to run. I prefer portable games, so having all 3 easy to run on the go is appealing) >Wario ware (I liked smooth moves and this will be fun for messing around with friends and family) >F-Zero 99 (an L for F Zero, but it looks like it could still be fun; I'm way more interested in this than any of the non Tetris 99 games) >Mario kart 8 DLC (has been kino the whole way for me; actually got me to play Mario kart 8 again and i've been enjoying 3 staring everything. Fun with friends to) >Paper Mario TTYD (I hate the fact that a single tear came to my eye when this came up. I'm a little worried what dialogue changes there will be, but otherwise this is a dream come true).
>TTYD looks like shit
for paper mario standards it looks amazing. i was expecting them to replace unique npcs with regular looking toads and goombas, but surprisingly they kept the unique designs. call it low standards but that alone made it a 10/10 for me
Probably my score as well. F-Zero 99 looks fun as fuck and hey cool a new Vanillaware game but this Direct gave me the impression that they're gearing up for Switch 2. Also fucking RIP MP4 unless they're planning to make that a launch title.
its fine, Mario RPG is better than TTYD but it looks like the Mario RPG remake is being made in some shithole country and not getting the serious treatment
Little heavy on the remakes and remasters but there was some cool stuff, i'm gonna go read spy x family so I can play the dicky game, and speaking of sex appeal surprised they showed those massive bazonkas in the trailer for that saga game
>you're retarded because you expected games from a nintendo direct.
yeah, in the middle of september, retard. makes no sense financially, you'd know that if you have had a decent education.

I know you're from some secondary site AND underaged, but at least know what webculture you're going to when you visit a wesbite

oh, would you look at that. A game that most fire emblum fans didn't buy AND they brought some old fart for promotion??
WHOLY SHIT ITS LITERALLY NOTHING!
>it hasn't even reached a mill
it hit 800k physically in Japan alone, if you think it hasn't sold 200k in the US alone, then I suggest opening the window, the gas leak must be getting to you
>>TTYD remaster >IT LITERALLY LOOKS THE FUCKING SAME JUST FUCKING MAKE A NEW ONE
they don't know how to make good new ones, that's why they remaster old games. Expect a Paper Mario 64 remaster by 2025
>IT LITERALLY LOOKS THE FUCKING SAME
It has the new Paper Mario style ie color splash/origami king. I think if anything it's just a testament to how good the paper mario art style in general is. All TTYD needed was QOL improvements and HD.
This is a good thing, anon. Future fans and nu-fans of the series need to know what they were missing so that Nintendo can't get away with putting out garbage.
My brain immediately ignored every time a JRPG showed up, but there were like 3 at best. We've seen WAY worse.
The peach models are the reason I added a couple of points. I get it, the console's almost done, I just tuned in with hopes of a surprise. Still pleased with the coom material.
They even ended the TTYD with coom bait about a robot asking Peach to teach him "love".
https://www.youtube.com/live/6GtVjxdKM04?si=HWdj0IlEowPCft6H&t=4227
The new game by the staff that made Moon is the only thing I cared about and it wasn't even in the western direct.
7/10. I never played TTYD, so I'm excited for that. Everything else, aside from the Unicorn game, shows that Nintendo is preparing for Switch 2 for next year.
The only new stuff that looked interesting was Side Order, F-Zero 99, and the Vanillaware title. Peach game just looks like a slightly more interesting Wario: Master of Disguise. I want my 40 minutes back.
Seriously, hardcore Nintendo fanbaby and I'm still disappointed.
Remakes, but not even for games I cared about.
Random shit nobody asked for like f zero battle Royale.
Not a single new title with any hype at all.
No new console news or updates on any new titles that could be coming.
I went in expecting very little, excited for almost anything, and instead they gave me nothing at all.
absolutely nothing of interest
and a fucking mario remake is their big finale?
christ
who are the bugmen who buy every fucking mario game nintendo rereleases, remasters, or remakes?
It's lowkey but i fucking hate that last announcement just to show bing bing wahoo again, at least there's some interesting announcement, cant wait for Another Code
Did anyone notice that Nintendo is turning Peach into Barbie? >movie Peach gets a personality and is not helpless and defenseless anymore >dropped the "super" on the title, it's Princess Peach now >game is about Peach in various professions, like Barbie
Honestly, it took them a while. Peach can easily be the video-game Barbie and reach a whole audience of little girls.
The peach models are the reason I added a couple of points. I get it, the console's almost done, I just tuned in with hopes of a surprise. Still pleased with the coom material.
If Switch 2 hadn't been leaked this direct would have made it extremely obvious that the Switch is in the end of its lifecycle. It happened with the 3DS too. When Nintendo is on the cusp of getting the next gen ready, it's remake city for 1-2 years.
What this really gets me worried about is Metroid Prime 4. Is it so stuck in dev hell it's gonna end up a Switch 2 launch title?
2/10
what an absolute waste and lack of cool shit.
we really needed a new game for fzero if they are going to bother with that franchise at all, some god damn prime 4 footage or atleast 2 and 3 remasters
TTYD on gamecube still holds up to this day and does not need a remaster, let alone the artstyle of color splash. Why didnt they remake 64 instead?
>magical make me a kid again machine.
The best science has come up with us impregnating a woman, and raising your son, watching him enjoy all things for the first time. And even then you only have 50% odds of having a son.
>no Metroid >no FE >no XCX port >no Decapolice >no Layton >vanillaware game looks like shit compared to 13 sentinels >just mario remakes up the ass
0, I'm not interested in a single game shown today.
About a 7/10.
One of their best recent ones for sure.
Side-Order looked good. The new vanillaware game too.
Peach's game looks creative at least.
Paper fucking Mario as the last game really soured it though. Along with dedicating a segment for Among Us of all things.
I've played TTYD before and am not interested in playing a remake of it. Unsurprisingly, such a stylised game as TTYD doesnt really need one, i'd argue even 64 wouldn't need it.
F-Zero 99 feels mildly interesting but I am doubtful Nintendo won't cheat in some kind of way about player interaction for the game to run smoothly, that or its an aberration of lag. I'm also not the most proficient nor the most interested in the SNES installment in particular, but I feel almost guilt tripped to try it out. At least its free since I have the online thing already, so I won't get scammed out of buying into something just to say I want more of it.
I feel nothing one way or the other towards most of the rest.
If I wasn't already convinced Prime 4 was being pushed to the Switch's successor, this definitely proved it. It also proves that the successor will almost certainly be out next year, as this whole lineup reeked of end-of-lifecycle dumping.
Wasn't excited for any of the RPGs or Fire Emblem clones, first-party Nintendo offerings and Nintendo remakes looked neat, I was very pleasantly surprised by the TTYD remake.
4/10
Remakes and JRPGs all the way down. The only thing people are even remotely going to be excited for is probably the TTYD remake. I could care less.
The Cing games (Trace Memory/Another Code R and Hotel Dusk/The Last Window) are excellent stories that make interesting use of the DS/Wii.
They're absolutely worth experiencing.
>bad news for me as an emulatorfag.
If you configure a Wii U DS injection properly, you can even do the clamshell-close puzzles.
(Inject it over the Phantom Hourglass ROM, or adjust the config file in a later DS VC release to have the clamshell close feature)
I’m at work but after reading everything announced on my break it sounds like my wallet will get a break this time around. Literally none of this stuff interest me besides maybe Luigi’s Mansion 2 since I never played that one.
TTYD still probably looks better in Dolphin upscaled to 4K right?
>if people show interest
They've bundled it with the subscription so sales can't be tracked. Fuck all will come of this.
The worst part is this idea isn't even new to the series, death race was in X.
yea if they test the waters haha so fucking funny. just like how they test the waters with starfox.
thats what we really need, a highly profitable corporation never taking a risk for consumers.
nintendo brags that they are investing their money in other shit because they are doing so well, but they wont make a game that isnt mario zelda or pokemon
>If people show interest we could get a port of GX
Come on hats sellsman, we both know that you wouldn't be alive to see in the incredibly slim chance that would happen
I really fucking hate the 2d sprites in a 3d world.
ive hated it since octotraveler, its so god damn ugly and doesnt stand out now that so many other games do it
Overloaded on the SRPG stuff but the Touch Memory remake seems neat, Princess Peach Showtime looks peachy, and the Tomb Raider remasters came out of nowhere.
F-Zero 99 won't even last three months. People are going to play a few rounds over the next few days, go "that was neat I guess," then never touch it again.
Miyamoto's close to either death or retirement, and he seems to be the one cockblocking the franchise. Unless he writes it in his last will and testament that F-Zero shall never get another good game again.
It's gauging interest to see if making an actual new game would be a waste of time and if they should just shelve the IP. Too bad that's exactly what it's going to tell them.
Eh/10.
They really blew their load with the last direct. Princess Peach Showtime looks interesting and there were a few ones that caught my eye like SaGa and not!Suikoden, but the non-already announced stuff was weak. I'm drained of Paper Mario and its fanbase even if the only Modern PM game I actually played was Sticker Star, which was aggressively mediocre. The Mario vs Donkey Kong remake is nice though, even if it is just a remake.
6/10
They're relying too much on remakes but the remakes look more faithful than I thought they'd be
F Zero 99 is a kick in the teeth. I hope they use it to gauge how popular a new F Zero would be.
Only game I'd probably buy is the Mario vs Donkey Kong remake, because that's a very good GBA game.
If I had a kid I'd be more interested. Easy access to classics without having to emulate.
No self respecting f-zero fan would play 99. They had the opportunity to make a lobby based f-zero online racer, but they instead chose battle royale, a thoroughly milked genre.
I don't know man, im stumped for once.
There were good games announced Im looking forward to but holy shit the remaster / remake spam was SO FUCKING BAD.
Mario RPG hasn't come out and you're already announcing ANOTHER mario RPG remaster? If you count Luigi's game, there were 4 mario remakes either revealed or talked about here. Where's the fucking variety? Worst part is we STILL have remasters yet to be announced in a direct so its not even over yet.
>people knew this direct wouldn't be anything special >leakers told you games that would be there >you knew there where underwhelming games like F-Zero 99 going in >still come out of the direct bitchy and whiny waaahhh where's my favorite game?
I hate people who’s main argument boils down to “ur just.. le whiner!” There’s nothing wrong with expecting good content. Mega corporations should be held to a higher standard to release a better product, but keep simping for the billion dollar company goy
Pyoro said Nintendo fans would need to be tranquilized, everybody thought he meant they'd be super excited but he actually meant they'd be absolutely fucking seething
The fuck are you talking about, leakers were acting like this would be the direct to end all directs and that people would need to be tranquilized to calm the hypestorm.
Is it? The mario vs minis series isn't exactly iterative. Seems like it would be the same difference as remaking bubble bobble vs making a brand new bubble bobble
We have a billion Mario games already coming out, why should I give a shit about the one that probably exists because some executive saw his daughter had no games to play? IP milking is not new and the gameplay looks fucking boring.
Most places don't even sell them anymore. Both the target and Walmart in my city only have the super mario ones, of mario peach and toad. I haven't seen any smash ones since like 2019
The only vanillaware games I played were Odin Sphere and the NIS one where everyone is named after drinks.
Odin Sphere is the most repetitive shit I ever had the displeasure of playing. The story was really good but I don't trust those guys anywhere near Fire Embull.,
At this point it's pretty clear that Nintendo is saving their two next big 3D games aka Metroid Prime 4 (which will be crossgen) and Mario Odyssey 2 for Switch 2
hence why we keep getting remasters, remakes, and 2D-slops at these directs, they're just buying time.
>aka Metroid Prime 4 (which will be crossgen)
If it was cross gen they would have announced it today. There's 0 reason to save a cross gen announcement until showing the next console, you might as well show the switch version first then impress with the better one later.
I enjoyed. Never played Another Code, so that looks cool. Mario Vs DK and Peach look cool as well.
It said the direct was primarily focused on winter games and pyoro's leaks already showed that this wasn't going to be that eventful, so I guess I wasn't expecting anything over the moon.
Why won't Nintendo just make a compilation of the 99 games on a physical cart? I hate hate hate how these games are tied to a subscription on top of being a limited 6 month to 2yr experience.
2/10, 2 just for ANY fucking news on Side Order.
Fucking direct had more trailers for remakes and re-relases than any new games. Fuck Nintendo, fucking greedy bastards.
they didnt even need a direct, just put this one inbetween the previous one and this one and consolidate them. I wasnt expecting smash shit but hearing the smash music for a split second made my chest jump. I'll probably play side order and the vanillaware game but everything else is forgettable, the peach game will be kirby tier baby
Mario Wonder should've been in this. I don't understand why Nintendo chose to single out Wonder like it's Everybody 1 2 Switch. I get it, but it should've been in this direct regardless.
We need to talk about how Peachette who was conceptualized from a power up 5 years ago that broke the internet was prioritized over characters who’ve been around longer
Peach's ass looked fine and at least Lara Croft's titties are the right size. Everything else looks like shit. A new Paper Mario game or proper F-zero would have been nice.
>dislike 90% of Nintendo's new releases >so tired of Nintendo remaking the same games I played 20 years ago
What the fuck happened to Nintendo? Is this all because of Iwata dying? I can't stand what they've turned into.
Warioware and Peach look fine (probably not getting either one to be honest) but it's a sad day when I'm more excited for non-Nintendo games from a direct than first party games.
4/10
>What the fuck happened to Nintendo?
The Switch became a runaway success and for some reason any piece of software on it sells a ridiculous amount regardless of quality. Look at every first and second-party Switch game, they've all demolished previous sales records.
The worst part is that I was a Nintendofag that supported them up until the Wii U era, where I started branching out into other companies. Had the Switch around launch, sold it after beating Mario Odyssey. Came back a few years ago and my Switch usually just collects dust.
It's not to say that EVERYTHING they've released on the Switch is bad, like I'm happy that they've finally put out a new Metroid game and what looks to be a new traditional-style Warioware, but there's so many things they put out nowadays that feel like a massive slap in the face to anyone that isn't new to Nintendo or in need of constant nostalgia pandering. I don't want the Wii U era back, but I want something that's not this.
>Is this all because of Iwata dying?
My crackpot theory is it's actually because of Miyamoto not letting them do anything interesting with existing franchises, as he's become a sort of arbiter various Nintendo IPs. That, and because the company is bigger and making more money, they'd rather not rock the boat and keep making money the safe way. That can only work for so long, however.
It'd make sense. He's the biggest of the old guard left so he probably has the most sway out of anyone in the company. It leaves me surprised that Super Mario Wonder is as whimsical as it is.
The only reason I have this crackpot theory is because of how awful Star Fox Zero was. Regardless of how contrarian you want to be, you can at least admit there are some people at Nintendo who know what they're doing. So the fact that Star Fox Zero went through its entire development cycle, and shipped, without anyone raising a red flag by saying "Wow, these controls fucking suck" is ludicrous. It's unironically more likely that multiple people working on the game knew the controls were dogshit, but were powerless to change them because of their position in the company. Worse still is that Miyamoto seemingly liked the controls despite everyone hating them when the game was released.

4/10
Peach Showtime and Side Order were the only ones that got me going. Remastered TTYD looks good, but I've got a backlog of switch games that I've never played before to get to before that. Once again F-Zero fans are crushed by false leaks and great expectations. Also, the switch is 7 years old, it's about time to move on.
What gets me is that they didn't announce any big holiday games. Mario Wonder comes out next month and Mario RPG is in mid November and that's it. There are zero major releases in December.
>The sad part is that the State of Play is going to be equally boring or worse
PS5 is going for their third year I think, if they have nothing, Sony can declare bankruptcy for all I care.
why didn't they announce any new games? why did they bother to have a direct if all they were going to do was show trailers for shit we already knew about or played 20 years ago?
I mean I guess that has to be the explanation, it's just lame as hell that nintendo apparently don't have anything coming for at least the next year or two
NTA but Side Order looks great, Peach Showtime looked good, Mario RPG fans now have a chance two titles to send a message that they are a viable market, 99 games are fun. It lacked a big drop, but the switch is 7 and a half years old. Anything jaw dropping should be saved for the Switch Successor.
SMRPG/10
But I hope the game is not overshadowed by TTYD, being between that and Wonder gives it a tough time but I think it can stand especially since I think it will be the better remake.
Meh/10
Id be more excited if any of those things announced were coming out soon, rather than fucking 2024. Vanillaware game looked great, as did ttyd, rest was forgettable
I mean this was completely expected. Its the end of life period for the Switch. All major dev focus is on the Switch 2, which we can now safely say is going to come out this holiday.
No actual F-Zero sucks, but you were crazy if you think they were just going to drop a new game.
putting TTYD last at least suggests that maybe they know that game is actually well-liked? like maybe it's worth taking it as a signal that they're aware that some amount of people think that game was particularly good? that they know that there's demand for TTYD style games in particular?
I dunno I just want them to make another game like paper mario 64 and ttyd one day
When TTYDR sells more than Origami King, that will be their wakeup call. >Sticker Star was originally supposed to be a TTYD port
It's all come full circle.
Origami King is the second highest selling PM game, only underneath Super. And with how many people have clamored over wanting a classic PM game, I think it will sell just as good if not better.
>Sticker Star is still the best selling game in the franchise >Color Splash is the worst selling game in the franchise >They STILL tried to do whacky combat in TOK
I'm convinced Tanabe is retarded and it took some Nintendo higher up to convince IS to faithfully remake TTYD.
Just popping in to say I'm disappointed Konami handed Contra to Wayforward again but it wasn't entirely surprising because it looks sterile as fuck, Wayforward's hallmark.
The fact people are so triggered by a direct that obviously shows Nintendo is saving games for the Switch 2 makes me confused. This year has also been great for it (FE, Zelda, Pikmin) and we have a new 2D Mario game coming in a month. Prime 4, new 3D Mario, new Animal Crossing and Fire Emblem are obviously coming to the Switch 2 next year.
The problem is we know the Switch is not going to be a Spring launch, but a Fall-Winter launch. But a lot of these new ports/remasters are spread the fuck out for no particular reason. We have to wait a literal entire year for a goddamn 3DS port?
I feel bad for actual Tendies but of you like JRPGs these past few Directs have been a FUCKING BUFFET >New Vanillaware >New SaGa >Eiyuuden gets release date
On top of >DQM3 >SO2 Remake
I'm thinking JRPGs are fucking back, bros. Final Fantasy can eat shit and die in a ditch for all I care.
>sex x children
+2 >unicorn overlord
+1 for looking good
+1 for being another meme name game to join the ranks of octopath and triangle strategy
4/10 and that's the best I can do.
F-Zero 99 will shut down within a year due to lack of players and Nintendo will shrug and go "guess no one cares about F-Zero anymore" before shelving the series for good
Needing 99 players to fill a lobby for a game to be fully enjoyed is such a bad design choice. Even the most popular battle royals have a good chunk of the players as bots now.
are physical switch games dead? I swear everything these days has to be imported to get a physical copy. At this rate nintendo's next console will be purely digital.
C+
some good game reveals, spent too much time reshowing announcements they already made + why tf is there a 'damage all' mode in SMRPG, fzero looks dumb, no idea how Peach's game is supposed to work, too much jarpig stuff, mario vs DK instead of DKC
+wario move it
+new contra
+tomb raider collection lets you play old style
Side Order I’m interested in because I loved OctoExpanssion, the Toomb Raider remasters actually look very good, and TTYD doesn’t look as bad as people say; at least it’ll give Zoomers a taste of real Paper Mario
4/10
Honestly I can tell the switch era is at its end, the next direct will very likely have their next console in it. So I’m not too upset the direct sucked this time
+ holy shit Another Code remake pack, if you told me this 10yrs ago I'd call you a liar

+F-Zero 99 works better than expected is basically a free death race

+back to a normal Warioware
++ HORY SHET PAPER MARIO IS BACK
+vanillaware trpg
it was fine but the big closer should be a new game not a remake as much as I love the fact that we are getting a TTYD remake
I only care about games from third party devs and there was nothing for me at this Direct. That's not really Nintendo's fault though, it just means that none of the devs I care about had anything to show at the moment. I also own a PS4 so I hope something relevant to my interests shows up at the State of Play in a few hours. The only one that "wins" is me and that's only if games that interest me show up.
Why are you retards so obsessed with console wars? I own multiple platforms, I only care about games. I'm mainly hoping Dragons Dogma 2 shows up in a few hours since it's confirmed to be at TGS. I don't care about first party Sony or Nintendo games.
Why does everyone want to fuck Another Code? It looked trite and unimpressive to me. Is it because the female lead communicates exclusively through gasps and whimpers?
new princess peach game looks good, otherwise a bunch of pointless shit >TTYD
doesn't need a remake or a remaster, make a new game that's an RPG and people will buy it
3/10
TTYD looks like shit
I did a (albeit flawed) point system; I added a point for every game I saw that I would actually buy and play. I didn't count indie games if I'd rather play them on Switch. My final score was 7 out of however many games were announced. If anyone is bothered to work out what percentage that is of the total games shown, then that's my score out of 10.
For those wondering:
>Mario RPG remake (I like the new OPTIONAL additions)
>Peach game (looks like it could be fun. I like the villain design.)
>Tomb raider trio (I bought the first one years ago on steam on sale and had to do all sort of shit to actually get it to run. I prefer portable games, so having all 3 easy to run on the go is appealing)
>Wario ware (I liked smooth moves and this will be fun for messing around with friends and family)
>F-Zero 99 (an L for F Zero, but it looks like it could still be fun; I'm way more interested in this than any of the non Tetris 99 games)
>Mario kart 8 DLC (has been kino the whole way for me; actually got me to play Mario kart 8 again and i've been enjoying 3 staring everything. Fun with friends to)
>Paper Mario TTYD (I hate the fact that a single tear came to my eye when this came up. I'm a little worried what dialogue changes there will be, but otherwise this is a dream come true).
>TTYD looks like shit
for paper mario standards it looks amazing. i was expecting them to replace unique npcs with regular looking toads and goombas, but surprisingly they kept the unique designs. call it low standards but that alone made it a 10/10 for me
well it is a shit game
Probably my score as well. F-Zero 99 looks fun as fuck and hey cool a new Vanillaware game but this Direct gave me the impression that they're gearing up for Switch 2. Also fucking RIP MP4 unless they're planning to make that a launch title.
>my score
Didn't ask
not a single thing looked interesting to me besides F-zero and that's going to be a play a few sessions then never touch again game
its fine, Mario RPG is better than TTYD but it looks like the Mario RPG remake is being made in some shithole country and not getting the serious treatment
TTYD shits on Mario RPG
Please refrain from responding to genocucks.
i like smithy's gang and the cool art style
>but it looks like the Mario RPG remake is being made in some shithole country
...Japan?
what studio is developing it?
Nobody knows. They simply aren't being credited.
which means its likely outsourced to some shithole country, similar to warcraft 3 remake. lets not forget square enix is involved here.
I think it's just NDCube but the fact that they refuse to reveal the developer is admittedly worrying.
>Mario RPG is better than TTYD
Nostalgia blindness is not healthy, anon
The worst one yet IMO
Little heavy on the remakes and remasters but there was some cool stuff, i'm gonna go read spy x family so I can play the dicky game, and speaking of sex appeal surprised they showed those massive bazonkas in the trailer for that saga game
>i'm gonna go read spy x family so I can play the dicky game
What the fuck is wrong with you people? inb4 chud rage
Almost nothing but remakes and generic rpgs.
Fzero99 will be fun for a hot minute I guess...
Nothing in it interested me
What the fuck did you idiots expect, they're announcing the switch 2 in 4 months.

OH NO NO NO
This . Unicorn Overlord is good though, so happy to get a new Ogre Battle.

Well done

Ending with a port really shows us where we're at in the Switch's lifespan.

I might buy a Switch game for the first time in three years so they got me
Guess that confirms Metroid Prime 4 will be a Switch 2 launch title
>New Mario vs. Donkey Kong (closest thing to Donkey Kong 94 I'm gonna get)
Pretty sure Its just a remake of the GBA game
1/10 thanks to Wario
Honestly whole Direct that was straight up AIDS and I love classic Paper Mario.
I want to slap the leakers for saying it was going to be megahype/10
Don't worry, nintendofags will insist this was the best direct in years.
No one is saying that. Why the fuck does Ganker has such a massive nintendo hate boner? Relax retard
it was bad
remake/10
4.5/10, of which 1.5 is dedicated to Funky Kong.
>remakes and garbage indie games
The fuck has gaming turned into.. even Nintendo is falling
>Even Nintendo
Black Nintendo's been remaking and porting a bunch of old shit to the Switch and having low-budget indies on it for years.
I should really stop coming here, you bros got me hyped up for nothing.
you're retarded expecting anything major in the middle of september, who else but a moron
>anime reaction gif
I bet you smell horrible
yeah, in the middle of september, retard. makes no sense financially, you'd know that if you have had a decent education.

I know you're from some secondary site AND underaged, but at least know what webculture you're going to when you visit a wesbite

No only the gays do that

>you're retarded because you expected games from a nintendo direct.
Well gosh would you look at that.
September 13th 2022. Shut the fuck up.
it's funny that you think pikmin is a major release when it hasn't even reached a mill and is still considered a niche game.keep trying little timmy.
Holy shit you're just stupid. They literally brought out Miyamoto to announce it as the main event.
Also wow fire emblem engage was announced the same day.
There's no excuse for this direct to have nothing but remakes.
oh, would you look at that. A game that most fire emblum fans didn't buy AND they brought some old fart for promotion??
WHOLY SHIT ITS LITERALLY NOTHING!
>it hasn't even reached a mill
it hit 800k physically in Japan alone, if you think it hasn't sold 200k in the US alone, then I suggest opening the window, the gas leak must be getting to you
i know yelling about greasy retards who say racial slurs on Ganker makes me a dweb but you are seriously developmentally disabled
Wii U era throwback/10
mid/10
an honest to God 1/10.
Only f-zero looked fun.
>TTYD remaster
IT LITERALLY LOOKS THE FUCKING SAME JUST FUCKING MAKE A NEW ONE
They made a new one several times.
>>TTYD remaster
>IT LITERALLY LOOKS THE FUCKING SAME JUST FUCKING MAKE A NEW ONE
they don't know how to make good new ones, that's why they remaster old games. Expect a Paper Mario 64 remaster by 2025
They can't. Evil cannot create it can only subvert and destroy.
>IT LITERALLY LOOKS THE FUCKING SAME
Good. Thank god they didn't change the characters or censored shit.
They did. All the toads are identical again and goombella is just a generic Goomba now
they removed the noose
>Thank god they didn't change the characters or censored shit.
>IT LITERALLY LOOKS THE FUCKING SAME
I wish
>IT LITERALLY LOOKS THE FUCKING SAME
It has the new Paper Mario style ie color splash/origami king. I think if anything it's just a testament to how good the paper mario art style in general is. All TTYD needed was QOL improvements and HD.
>a new paper mario
Nintendo doesn't know how to design good games anymore. It's all just remakes/ports, sandbox make your own fun, or shit now.
This is a good thing, anon. Future fans and nu-fans of the series need to know what they were missing so that Nintendo can't get away with putting out garbage.
5/10
>vanillaware
9/10
Correct.
3/10
TTYD was always a shit game liked by trannies
Trombone Champion looked the most interesting and I am pretty serious.
ttyd somewhat saves it
but its pretty much digging though the trash and finding a gem in the end
absolute consumer cattle posts
go on and purchase your 70 dollar plus tax plus tip remake
2/10 without TTYD
8/10 with TTYD
if it wasn't for TTYD, this would probably have been the worst direct ever.
Nintendo isn't killing switch before Summer/10
Fucking jesus just announce new hardware, Switch already shows its age.
Also
>No mention whatsoever of Red Dead Redemption
Why?
>remake remake port remaster remake port port
Pretty unremarkable.
Sploon 3 expansion looked kind of neat I guess.
>Becky
uoooh/10
4/10 won't buy anything from it, maybe emulate something later
I like funky kong and Pauline
no switch 2, no fe4, no metroid prime, what were they thinking?
Unicorn Overlord looked cool at least
SaGa and the vanillaware game looked interesting
1/10 for Another Code and that Vanillaware game. What a fucking shitshow lmao
-10/10. Possibly worst direct ever and I once watched one with indie games for androids.
2/10 because tomb raider
0/10 I've already played everything they showed on my winkawaks dreamcast emulator
4/10
The peach game looks cute and splatoon rougelike is neat
Meh. Lots of recaps of shit we already knew about, getting real tired of remakes too. Peach game looks fun though.
Probably my favorite thing in the direct. It gives me luigis mansion vibes
0/10
the SoP will manage to be worse knowing sony
Worst direct in a while honestly.
I've seen worse, no jrpg and farm sims spam. A bunch of those games I would like to play, but not a single "direct-seller" game.
7/10
Switch is coming next year btw.
>no jrpg spam.
How does it feel to be blind, mute and deaf?
My brain immediately ignored every time a JRPG showed up, but there were like 3 at best. We've seen WAY worse.
They even ended the TTYD with coom bait about a robot asking Peach to teach him "love".
9/10 Nintendo really knows how to bring the hype. Sony has pretty steep competition this afternoon.
No ace attorney/10
a motherfucking DLC was the most interesting part of the direct
DLC for what?
im so fucking hype for TTYD holy shit
Good news, you can already play that game today.
1/10, behead Mariofags
When a Spy X Family game looks like one of the better offers it’s a bad show.
The only thing I am looking forward to is Vanillaware
Easily the worst one yet. Every single "announcement" was tantamount to a slap in the face and a mocking laugh.
6/10. Fuck you all F Zero 99 looks fun.
it looks like a doom mod i would find on a forum in like 2006
See you next year when it's already gone.
Can’t wait for Nintendo to shut it down after 6 months.
3/10. That Vanillaware title Unicorn Overload of whatever looked neat
Unicorn Overlord was the only thing I cared about unfortunately, so not that good.
https://www.youtube.com/live/6GtVjxdKM04?si=HWdj0IlEowPCft6H&t=4227
The new game by the staff that made Moon is the only thing I cared about and it wasn't even in the western direct.
7/10. I never played TTYD, so I'm excited for that. Everything else, aside from the Unicorn game, shows that Nintendo is preparing for Switch 2 for next year.
>I never played TTYD, so I'm excited for that.
It takes 5 minutes to install Dolphin on a toaster
Emulation is still insanely niche, nobody but like, less than 0.1% of people want to put up with it.
they're rather simply consume
You say "put up with it" as if it's an even remotely difficult task.
TTYD is best game, be excited anon
Where the fuck is Prime 4? I was so sure it had to be the last thing
I'm convinced it's going to be a launch title for the next console.
>Metroidfags launch a class action suit for false advertising
It'll be the Switch's swansong title like Samus Returns was for the 3DS.
The only new stuff that looked interesting was Side Order, F-Zero 99, and the Vanillaware title. Peach game just looks like a slightly more interesting Wario: Master of Disguise. I want my 40 minutes back.
Seriously, hardcore Nintendo fanbaby and I'm still disappointed.
Remakes, but not even for games I cared about.
Random shit nobody asked for like f zero battle Royale.
Not a single new title with any hype at all.
No new console news or updates on any new titles that could be coming.
I went in expecting very little, excited for almost anything, and instead they gave me nothing at all.
1/10
absolutely nothing of interest
and a fucking mario remake is their big finale?
christ
who are the bugmen who buy every fucking mario game nintendo rereleases, remasters, or remakes?
It's lowkey but i fucking hate that last announcement just to show bing bing wahoo again, at least there's some interesting announcement, cant wait for Another Code
REDDIT DIRECT -1000000/10
0/10, entirely devoid of soul. You can feel the Switch is at the end of its life.
Mari0/10
Provisional +1 for Another Code remake
3/10 for the new peach models
the switch is on its last legs
Did anyone notice that Nintendo is turning Peach into Barbie?
>movie Peach gets a personality and is not helpless and defenseless anymore
>dropped the "super" on the title, it's Princess Peach now
>game is about Peach in various professions, like Barbie
Honestly, it took them a while. Peach can easily be the video-game Barbie and reach a whole audience of little girls.
that new Peach model has some legs on her though
The peach models are the reason I added a couple of points. I get it, the console's almost done, I just tuned in with hopes of a surprise. Still pleased with the coom material.
When's the next Direct? I want another Direct. Direct when? Want more Direct. Give me another Direct now. Direct now.
Looking forward to Mario rpg rematches
2/10
expected as they're saving most of their resources for Switch 2
Doesn’t matter because my switch is modchipped so I will steal absolutely everything shown today
>I’m not paying $XX for that!
Queer, blow your brains out immediately
If Switch 2 hadn't been leaked this direct would have made it extremely obvious that the Switch is in the end of its lifecycle. It happened with the 3DS too. When Nintendo is on the cusp of getting the next gen ready, it's remake city for 1-2 years.
What this really gets me worried about is Metroid Prime 4. Is it so stuck in dev hell it's gonna end up a Switch 2 launch title?
Retro put out this call for artists to "flesh out the world of Metroid Prime 4" in late May or early June. It's still just getting started.
I expected nothing and am still disappointed.
so when's the playstation one?
2/10
what an absolute waste and lack of cool shit.
we really needed a new game for fzero if they are going to bother with that franchise at all, some god damn prime 4 footage or atleast 2 and 3 remasters
TTYD on gamecube still holds up to this day and does not need a remaster, let alone the artstyle of color splash. Why didnt they remake 64 instead?
I wouldn't be happy with a Direct unless Nintendo announces a magical make me a kid again machine.
When are people going to live up to my deliberately impossible and unreasonable expectations?
>magical make me a kid again machine.
The best science has come up with us impregnating a woman, and raising your son, watching him enjoy all things for the first time. And even then you only have 50% odds of having a son.
Not good enough. Take my literally impossible demands seriously.
>no Metroid
>no FE
>no XCX port
>no Decapolice
>no Layton
>vanillaware game looks like shit compared to 13 sentinels
>just mario remakes up the ass
0, I'm not interested in a single game shown today.
Did you seriously expect Xenoblade and Fire Emblem when we just got Future Connected and Engage?
1/10. All Sony needs to do at the State of Play today in a few hours is show me one good game and they beat Nintendo.
Remake/10. What the fuck is going to happen to Nintendo when they run out of old shit to recycle?
Start recycling it all over again.
4/10
suikoden game and the vanilla ware are the only ones that matter
So how much can I expect the Switch 2 to cost? Certainly nintendo will increase the price considering they know people will buy regardless.
5/10. Not a tendie, so a new vanillaware game means a lot to me
why the fuck would they remake ttyd before paper mario 64? ttyd already looks completely fine on the gamecube and the new graphics barely add anything
>why the fuck would they remake ttyd before paper mario 64?
I think it's a blatant "ARE YOU FUCKING HAPPY NOW?" to PM fans
You can get the original Paper Mario on NSO.
About a 7/10.
One of their best recent ones for sure.
Side-Order looked good. The new vanillaware game too.
Peach's game looks creative at least.
Paper fucking Mario as the last game really soured it though. Along with dedicating a segment for Among Us of all things.
It's kind of weird how tendies get a license to spam the board whenever
What happened to videogames? Why can't anyone make anything interesting anymore?
>Every single fucking game was a remaster
>Except GX, you get a shitty NSO F-Zero gimmick game that'll be closed down in a year
2/10
>a year
lol
also that's what you get for being obnoxious pieces of shit, know your place, just like Star fox fans
that was great! cant wait to watch that Sony direct later
>3rd party and indies only
Can't wait to see what's coming to PC!
REMAKE REMASTER REMAKR REMASTER REIMAGENING REMASTER REMASTER REFUCKYOU
I've played TTYD before and am not interested in playing a remake of it. Unsurprisingly, such a stylised game as TTYD doesnt really need one, i'd argue even 64 wouldn't need it.
F-Zero 99 feels mildly interesting but I am doubtful Nintendo won't cheat in some kind of way about player interaction for the game to run smoothly, that or its an aberration of lag. I'm also not the most proficient nor the most interested in the SNES installment in particular, but I feel almost guilt tripped to try it out. At least its free since I have the online thing already, so I won't get scammed out of buying into something just to say I want more of it.
I feel nothing one way or the other towards most of the rest.
Literally the only I'm interested is Vanillaware
I hate Nintendo more than anything in the world. It's just yippee bing bing itsa me all the way down forever and ever.
>3. Paper Mario
>5. Another Code
>6. Side Order
Why the fuck is Tron Bon trending lmao
Trombone, because of that Trombone game
0/10 even with Unicorn Overlord, Another Code & TTYD. F Zero 99 is unforgivable, it won’t even last that long before shutting down.
Anya / 10
0/10

Sony unironically has to try very hard to make this state of play worse. I believe they will find a way
>remake
>remake
>remake
I'd be excited about Wario Ware if I had any friends tho
When does he heroes come out
>me when it ended
If I wasn't already convinced Prime 4 was being pushed to the Switch's successor, this definitely proved it. It also proves that the successor will almost certainly be out next year, as this whole lineup reeked of end-of-lifecycle dumping.
>reeked
Good morning sir!
F-Zero/10
5/10
Wasn't excited for any of the RPGs or Fire Emblem clones, first-party Nintendo offerings and Nintendo remakes looked neat, I was very pleasantly surprised by the TTYD remake.
Pretty horrendous.
only interesting things were Side order and meme f-zero. Then they took a shit over side order with a 2024 release date. 1/10
>Still no Yo-kai Watch 4 localization
It's been 4 years bro, it's been over for a long time.
FE4/10
It is over.
Mid, but at least it has games/10
4/10
Remakes and JRPGs all the way down. The only thing people are even remotely going to be excited for is probably the TTYD remake. I could care less.
-10/10, thanks for wasting an hour of my time nintendo
Dull, it was fun to see some more Mario RPG footage but didn't need a direct for that.
>Mario kart final DLC and fucking Among Us were the best things announced
It was terrible, nothing but remakes and rpgs nobody asked for
1/10 just for the new Vanillaware game.
Which not even a Switch exclusive.
Gerudo'd out of 10
So much pixelslop and remakes
I can't take it anymore
Anyone here played Another Code.
Never heard about it until now, the game looks like Resident Evil but only puzzles.
Seems very interesting.
From what I remember the frist game is very very short. Probably why they packaged it with it's sequel.
The Cing games (Trace Memory/Another Code R and Hotel Dusk/The Last Window) are excellent stories that make interesting use of the DS/Wii.
They're absolutely worth experiencing.
>are excellent stories that make interesting use of the DS/Wii.
bad news for me as an emulatorfag. But now they are on my radar, ty.
>bad news for me as an emulatorfag.
If you configure a Wii U DS injection properly, you can even do the clamshell-close puzzles.
(Inject it over the Phantom Hourglass ROM, or adjust the config file in a later DS VC release to have the clamshell close feature)
Thank you Bill for Nathalie. You're a real one.
Theyre both alright. Like they look nice and are well polished but they're pretty short and kinda easy.
giant nothingburger
biggest thing is a HD texture pack for a GC game
I’m at work but after reading everything announced on my break it sounds like my wallet will get a break this time around. Literally none of this stuff interest me besides maybe Luigi’s Mansion 2 since I never played that one.
TTYD still probably looks better in Dolphin upscaled to 4K right?
>TTYD still probably looks better in Dolphin upscaled to 4K right?
of course, and its not 60 dollars. nintendo is so bad and doing remasters
0/10. Thanks for my Monkeys Paw F-Zero game and another 400 Mario universe games.
/ourguy/ liked it
>If zoomies show interest
Yeah, keep buying those remasters and remakes, you'll get GX eventually! LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
literally who?
>If we all buy this gay asset flip meme game, we might get a port of a 20 year old game guyse!
>if people show interest
They've bundled it with the subscription so sales can't be tracked. Fuck all will come of this.
The worst part is this idea isn't even new to the series, death race was in X.
yea if they test the waters haha so fucking funny. just like how they test the waters with starfox.
thats what we really need, a highly profitable corporation never taking a risk for consumers.
nintendo brags that they are investing their money in other shit because they are doing so well, but they wont make a game that isnt mario zelda or pokemon
haven't seen the dude in years, wasn't he dying of cancer? guess he scamned all of you paypiggies
Dude is dying and on a lot of medication. You could give him baby keys and he'll get a kick out of it.
>irrelevant man caters towards baby slop so he can be liked
Sad to see such a fall from grace
>If people show interest we could get a port of GX
Come on hats sellsman, we both know that you wouldn't be alive to see in the incredibly slim chance that would happen
What
said, I thought Jim finally bit it.
Nintendo continue to spit on F-Zero's grave.
I really fucking hate the 2d sprites in a 3d world.
ive hated it since octotraveler, its so god damn ugly and doesnt stand out now that so many other games do it
6/10
Overloaded on the SRPG stuff but the Touch Memory remake seems neat, Princess Peach Showtime looks peachy, and the Tomb Raider remasters came out of nowhere.
10/10 gonna tell my friend they announced a new f zero game when he wakes up
F-Zero 99 won't even last three months. People are going to play a few rounds over the next few days, go "that was neat I guess," then never touch it again.
Right. Their gauging the reception to see if they should make a new official game. This will only tell them that they shouldn't
People will play 3 races before going this games toooo haaaard. Good bye F-Zero, see you again in 20 years maybe.
Miyamoto's close to either death or retirement, and he seems to be the one cockblocking the franchise. Unless he writes it in his last will and testament that F-Zero shall never get another good game again.
It's gauging interest to see if making an actual new game would be a waste of time and if they should just shelve the IP. Too bad that's exactly what it's going to tell them.
Eh/10.
They really blew their load with the last direct. Princess Peach Showtime looks interesting and there were a few ones that caught my eye like SaGa and not!Suikoden, but the non-already announced stuff was weak. I'm drained of Paper Mario and its fanbase even if the only Modern PM game I actually played was Sticker Star, which was aggressively mediocre.
The Mario vs Donkey Kong remake is nice though, even if it is just a remake.
>Saga and Chingchongdingdong
You’re a gay
I don't care. Not that I'll get to them with how my backlog's looking
Christ u even type like a gay
>medieval anime rpg
>remakes
Not the worst direct ever but up there
Mario/10 so 5/10
F ZERO GOT SOMETHING BEFORE FUCKING FIRE EMBLEM KEKEKEK
>Nintendo is literally the only platform getting games
Incredible
6/10
They're relying too much on remakes but the remakes look more faithful than I thought they'd be
F Zero 99 is a kick in the teeth. I hope they use it to gauge how popular a new F Zero would be.
Only game I'd probably buy is the Mario vs Donkey Kong remake, because that's a very good GBA game.
If I had a kid I'd be more interested. Easy access to classics without having to emulate.
No self respecting f-zero fan would play 99. They had the opportunity to make a lobby based f-zero online racer, but they instead chose battle royale, a thoroughly milked genre.
Confirmed Donkey Kong is a moron/10
I don't know man, im stumped for once.
There were good games announced Im looking forward to but holy shit the remaster / remake spam was SO FUCKING BAD.
Mario RPG hasn't come out and you're already announcing ANOTHER mario RPG remaster? If you count Luigi's game, there were 4 mario remakes either revealed or talked about here. Where's the fucking variety? Worst part is we STILL have remasters yet to be announced in a direct so its not even over yet.
>people knew this direct wouldn't be anything special
>leakers told you games that would be there
>you knew there where underwhelming games like F-Zero 99 going in
>still come out of the direct bitchy and whiny waaahhh where's my favorite game?
I hate people who’s main argument boils down to “ur just.. le whiner!” There’s nothing wrong with expecting good content. Mega corporations should be held to a higher standard to release a better product, but keep simping for the billion dollar company goy
Leakers were literally saying that this direct was going to blow dicks off
Pyoro said Nintendo fans would need to be tranquilized, everybody thought he meant they'd be super excited but he actually meant they'd be absolutely fucking seething
Leave alone multibilion dollars company!
The fuck are you talking about, leakers were acting like this would be the direct to end all directs and that people would need to be tranquilized to calm the hypestorm.
Can you prove leakers were doing that? Let's see it.
They teased and then revealed games while people here hyped it up themselves. But show me how the leakers did it.
>nothing but remakes, ports, and JRPGs
So they're pulling the plug soon, then?
Its only going to be remasters from here on out, the new hardware is finished
vanillaware/10
everything else is trash
No new DK platformer/10
The leak only said that there would be a new donkey kong game announced. And there was. Anything else you were expecting was just a fantasy
Not new, it's a remake.
Is it? The mario vs minis series isn't exactly iterative. Seems like it would be the same difference as remaking bubble bobble vs making a brand new bubble bobble
Nintendo is never making an actual new game again. This is what a generation of Wii U ports has lead us to.
The Peach game?
We have a billion Mario games already coming out, why should I give a shit about the one that probably exists because some executive saw his daughter had no games to play? IP milking is not new and the gameplay looks fucking boring.
I just want a Peach game thats straight up platformer. Mario Bros. 2 Peach mode on an 8+ world adventure
Super Princess Peach for DS?
Where you can use the power of women's crazy emotions to solve puzzles?
what about NEW game
All of the day bro
Given how well Super Princess Peach sold? Never ever.
Girls don't buy platformers.
Wonder is a "new" game. That'll be 70 dollars please.
>70 dollars
Good morning sir!
>70 dollars
Canadian dollars, perchance?
Super Mario 3D World exists, and you'll probably be able to play as Peach for the entirety of Wonder too (albeit without her SMB2 abilities)
Looked more like a bunch of mini games strapped together

>Miku
>new Moon rpg
>Shiren 6
>shit ton of demo
pretty good direct for me
3/10 too much Mario
Digged the new amiibo pairings from Zelda and Xenoblade.
I never even saw the TOTK Link amiibo in stores, I hate how this fucking crap is hard to get
I thought the artificial scarcity on amiibos was long over but you can't find shit anywhere without paying scalper rape prices.
Most places don't even sell them anymore. Both the target and Walmart in my city only have the super mario ones, of mario peach and toad. I haven't seen any smash ones since like 2019
I've only seen older ones in like used game stores and the local flea market of course at massively inflated prices
How inflated? I actually have s bunch of early smash amiibos. Maybe I can pawn them off to some retards. Only ones I didn't get were wii fit and ness
I hope Noah gets a proper figure. Amiibos are cheap and ugly and it seems only Xenogirls get actually quality figures.
The only vanillaware games I played were Odin Sphere and the NIS one where everyone is named after drinks.
Odin Sphere is the most repetitive shit I ever had the displeasure of playing. The story was really good but I don't trust those guys anywhere near Fire Embull.,
3/10
At this point it's pretty clear that Nintendo is saving their two next big 3D games aka Metroid Prime 4 (which will be crossgen) and Mario Odyssey 2 for Switch 2
hence why we keep getting remasters, remakes, and 2D-slops at these directs, they're just buying time.
>aka Metroid Prime 4 (which will be crossgen)
If it was cross gen they would have announced it today. There's 0 reason to save a cross gen announcement until showing the next console, you might as well show the switch version first then impress with the better one later.
MP4 is nowhere close to release.
5/10
6/10 TTYD remake barely salvaged it.
I enjoyed. Never played Another Code, so that looks cool. Mario Vs DK and Peach look cool as well.
It said the direct was primarily focused on winter games and pyoro's leaks already showed that this wasn't going to be that eventful, so I guess I wasn't expecting anything over the moon.
Why won't Nintendo just make a compilation of the 99 games on a physical cart? I hate hate hate how these games are tied to a subscription on top of being a limited 6 month to 2yr experience.
F-
not a single new game announced
Super Princess Peach Switch reminds me of that old PS3 game Puppeteer.
If it's as good, we're in for some kino.
I'm so fucking tired of marioslop
Did Nintendo forget it has other series?
The Nintendo Museum has Mario iconography on its roof and nothing else. What fo you thonk?
Nintendo World or whatever it is called in Universal is also solely Mario, despite all the potential their other IPs hold for theme park attractions.
The amount of playable F-Zero 99 racers/10
2/10, 2 just for ANY fucking news on Side Order.
Fucking direct had more trailers for remakes and re-relases than any new games. Fuck Nintendo, fucking greedy bastards.
I hope Harmony gets an amiibo
FUCKING KEK
Will they change it to say Fire Emblem: Engage?
4/10 New Warioware looks fun. Everything else of note is a remake. RIP FZERO fans.
I have a feeling they had some stuff planned, but decided against it to discredit the leakers.
They literally did everything leakers said they'd do
they didnt even need a direct, just put this one inbetween the previous one and this one and consolidate them. I wasnt expecting smash shit but hearing the smash music for a split second made my chest jump. I'll probably play side order and the vanillaware game but everything else is forgettable, the peach game will be kirby tier baby
It's more obvious now than ever that the Switch is in its twilight months and all efforts are going into the Switch 2
Mario Wonder should've been in this. I don't understand why Nintendo chose to single out Wonder like it's Everybody 1 2 Switch. I get it, but it should've been in this direct regardless.
We need to talk about how Peachette who was conceptualized from a power up 5 years ago that broke the internet was prioritized over characters who’ve been around longer
>They said they'd put me in....
HE HAS NO CAMEO
I am physically incapable of caring. I'm just glad MK8 is finally being put to bed.
Nobody care about peachette. They care about something else.
>mario overload
>remaster and remake for fucking everything EXCEPT F ZERO GX WHICH GETS A BULLSHIT BATTLE ROYALE INSTEAD

Hopefully there all this garbage coming out for the Switch means Nintendo is saving the good games for their next console.
Peach's ass looked fine and at least Lara Croft's titties are the right size. Everything else looks like shit. A new Paper Mario game or proper F-zero would have been nice.
I was expecting nothing I got nothing
I look forward to Paper Mario fans shitting and pissing themselves about the remake somehow
>remake
Pretty solid but nothing that blew me away by any means.
I liked getting another look at the SMRPG remake and the confirmation that they kept the superboss.
Personally, I don't care too much for the farming sim / VM / weeb shovelware but my partner said some of them looked decent so we might pick those up.
It was nice to have some curveballs in there like Tomb Raider / Prince of Persia / the Riot games but I doubt I'll pick any of them up.
Personally I would have preferred a physical release of F-Zero or even better a port/remake of GX.
TTYD Remake I definitely didn't expect and am very excited to have in my collection despite still having my Gamecube copy.
It was a 3/4 for me up until the TTYD reveal so I'll give the whole thing a 5/10.
>my partner
LUHMAOOOOOOOOOOO
moron YOU GAY
Funny thing about that is that we're a cis-het couple but I knew the mere act of replacing "girlfriend" with "partner" would guarantee (you)'s.
Thanks for the confirmation.
with the way you type youre the biggest fucking gay even if you were dating a rock
Keep em coming I live seeing that red ! in the browser tab
>not the version with regieleki going twice as fast
oooh I don't have that one
I will never get over how they timed it to be 5 cycles before Regigigas moves to mimic Slow Start. It's just gold.
>All remakes/remasters, most with no new content.
At least Another Code is a complete remake, so thats 10/10 for me.
they won
6/10
Vainillaware, Another Code and Princess Peach saved the Direct.
Bonus point for Lara not being censored.
I guess a shitty peach game was the highlight? Not sure why they saved a literal same game for $60 as the final reveal
Hard pass
MY MAN SHIREN IS BACK BITCHES/10
I'm so fucking happy.
Prime 4 confirmed pushed to Switch 2
>dislike 90% of Nintendo's new releases
>so tired of Nintendo remaking the same games I played 20 years ago
What the fuck happened to Nintendo? Is this all because of Iwata dying? I can't stand what they've turned into.
Warioware and Peach look fine (probably not getting either one to be honest) but it's a sad day when I'm more excited for non-Nintendo games from a direct than first party games.
4/10
>What the fuck happened to Nintendo?
The Switch became a runaway success and for some reason any piece of software on it sells a ridiculous amount regardless of quality. Look at every first and second-party Switch game, they've all demolished previous sales records.
The worst part is that I was a Nintendofag that supported them up until the Wii U era, where I started branching out into other companies. Had the Switch around launch, sold it after beating Mario Odyssey. Came back a few years ago and my Switch usually just collects dust.
It's not to say that EVERYTHING they've released on the Switch is bad, like I'm happy that they've finally put out a new Metroid game and what looks to be a new traditional-style Warioware, but there's so many things they put out nowadays that feel like a massive slap in the face to anyone that isn't new to Nintendo or in need of constant nostalgia pandering. I don't want the Wii U era back, but I want something that's not this.
It'd make sense. He's the biggest of the old guard left so he probably has the most sway out of anyone in the company. It leaves me surprised that Super Mario Wonder is as whimsical as it is.
The only reason I have this crackpot theory is because of how awful Star Fox Zero was. Regardless of how contrarian you want to be, you can at least admit there are some people at Nintendo who know what they're doing. So the fact that Star Fox Zero went through its entire development cycle, and shipped, without anyone raising a red flag by saying "Wow, these controls fucking suck" is ludicrous. It's unironically more likely that multiple people working on the game knew the controls were dogshit, but were powerless to change them because of their position in the company. Worse still is that Miyamoto seemingly liked the controls despite everyone hating them when the game was released.
>Is this all because of Iwata dying?
My crackpot theory is it's actually because of Miyamoto not letting them do anything interesting with existing franchises, as he's become a sort of arbiter various Nintendo IPs. That, and because the company is bigger and making more money, they'd rather not rock the boat and keep making money the safe way. That can only work for so long, however.
Speaking of, who was this bowl cut freak? Is that the new president of Nintendo Japan?
Tanabefag please stop, you are embarrassing yourself.
Mario/10 so absolute shit
7/10 held up by f zero and TTYS
The peach game looks like shit and I only say that because it looks like it has no idea of what it wants to be
too many remakes/10

>slaps post processing lighting shiny effects that make the game look retarded
very cool nintendo!
4/10
Peach Showtime and Side Order were the only ones that got me going. Remastered TTYD looks good, but I've got a backlog of switch games that I've never played before to get to before that. Once again F-Zero fans are crushed by false leaks and great expectations. Also, the switch is 7 years old, it's about time to move on.
7/10
Good mix of new and remaster games
What gets me is that they didn't announce any big holiday games. Mario Wonder comes out next month and Mario RPG is in mid November and that's it. There are zero major releases in December.
10/10 for F-Zero 99 and Trombone Champ alone.
All that leak hype ruined it
Was expecting Donkey Kong Country not this shit
More remakes and ports wow and you gays eat this shit up
>Was expecting Donkey Kong Country not this shit
he did say the minis would be on it. Your fault, m8.
8/10
2/10
The sad part is that the State of Play is going to be equally boring or worse. Ninty needs to hurry up and announce that new console already.
>The sad part is that the State of Play is going to be equally boring or worse
PS5 is going for their third year I think, if they have nothing, Sony can declare bankruptcy for all I care.
They have nothing. The only actual exclusive PoS5 will end up with is fucking Destruction AllStars, LMAO
They could still announce GTA VI and set the internet ablaze. That announcement is coming any minute. My bet is next year though.
why didn't they announce any new games? why did they bother to have a direct if all they were going to do was show trailers for shit we already knew about or played 20 years ago?
does nintendo not develop games anymore?
I cope by thinking about the switch 2
I mean I guess that has to be the explanation, it's just lame as hell that nintendo apparently don't have anything coming for at least the next year or two
>All those remakes and DLC announcements
The Switch is dead
A seven year old console is dead? Say it ain't so!
I'm pleased
No new platformers, lots of jrpg shit, still regretting my switch purchase
8/10
good shit and I find amusement in watching all of you miserable gays doomposting everything
>wah wah wah youre dooming!!!
>a bunch of shitty remasters and $30 games priced at 60 just because they can
what makes it an 8/10?
NTA but Side Order looks great, Peach Showtime looked good, Mario RPG fans now have a chance two titles to send a message that they are a viable market, 99 games are fun. It lacked a big drop, but the switch is 7 and a half years old. Anything jaw dropping should be saved for the Switch Successor.
3/10. No bombs.
Just finished watching it.
I'm so sorry, F-Zero fans. You didn't deserve this
SaGa didn't look very good, Vanillaware announcement saved the direct.
Pretty weak. Not surprising given that we are probably less than half a year out from a huge next generation blow out.
SMRPG/10
But I hope the game is not overshadowed by TTYD, being between that and Wonder gives it a tough time but I think it can stand especially since I think it will be the better remake.
>They announced a new Shiren the Wanderer in the JP direct
The best game isn't even coming out in the west, 0/10
I swear if Spike fumbles this and neglects to release it overseas, I will apply myself and learn Japanese
I don't really care about Mario.
The moment Smash inevitably returns will be fun
I hope Sakurai trolls the puppetfucks by picking a different rep from the game.
Allright/10, anyone who is crying in disappointment needs to get their expectations in check.
4/10 at best
Meh/10
Id be more excited if any of those things announced were coming out soon, rather than fucking 2024. Vanillaware game looked great, as did ttyd, rest was forgettable
I mean this was completely expected. Its the end of life period for the Switch. All major dev focus is on the Switch 2, which we can now safely say is going to come out this holiday.
No actual F-Zero sucks, but you were crazy if you think they were just going to drop a new game.
putting TTYD last at least suggests that maybe they know that game is actually well-liked? like maybe it's worth taking it as a signal that they're aware that some amount of people think that game was particularly good? that they know that there's demand for TTYD style games in particular?
I dunno I just want them to make another game like paper mario 64 and ttyd one day
When TTYDR sells more than Origami King, that will be their wakeup call.
>Sticker Star was originally supposed to be a TTYD port
It's all come full circle.
will it sell well? Well enough for them to consider making another game as good as TTYD?
Origami King is the second highest selling PM game, only underneath Super. And with how many people have clamored over wanting a classic PM game, I think it will sell just as good if not better.
>Sticker Star is still the best selling game in the franchise
>Color Splash is the worst selling game in the franchise
>They STILL tried to do whacky combat in TOK
I'm convinced Tanabe is retarded and it took some Nintendo higher up to convince IS to faithfully remake TTYD.
>I'm convinced Tanabe is retarded
Reminder Tanabe wants Metroid Prime 4 to be about that shitty hunter from the DS game.
Just popping in to say I'm disappointed Konami handed Contra to Wayforward again but it wasn't entirely surprising because it looks sterile as fuck, Wayforward's hallmark.
The fact people are so triggered by a direct that obviously shows Nintendo is saving games for the Switch 2 makes me confused. This year has also been great for it (FE, Zelda, Pikmin) and we have a new 2D Mario game coming in a month. Prime 4, new 3D Mario, new Animal Crossing and Fire Emblem are obviously coming to the Switch 2 next year.
The problem is we know the Switch is not going to be a Spring launch, but a Fall-Winter launch. But a lot of these new ports/remasters are spread the fuck out for no particular reason. We have to wait a literal entire year for a goddamn 3DS port?
He keeps winning and it's not fair
>no big holiday game
Switch 2 confirmed by Christmas
ttyd remake actually looks good
It's running at 30
No they didn't.
The sign of the end of the systems life
Although I only saw 2 games of interest, I'd give it a 6.5 or 7
I feel bad for actual Tendies but of you like JRPGs these past few Directs have been a FUCKING BUFFET
>New Vanillaware
>New SaGa
>Eiyuuden gets release date
On top of
>DQM3
>SO2 Remake
I'm thinking JRPGs are fucking back, bros. Final Fantasy can eat shit and die in a ditch for all I care.
Unicorn Overload looked cool (stupid name) but is on every platform.
Don't care about remakes/remasters, so that was most of the Direct.
F-Zero 99 looks okay at best. It looks like it would get boring quick and will no doubt shut down in a couple years max.
2/10 being generous
I couldn't see it, but from the list of what they showed, it sounds like it was pretty damn awful.
2/10
surprised dq monsters wasn't shown off more
They are ADDING new Toad designs in the remake. Tanabe is absolutely blown the fuck out.
Look at that smug motherfucker. He knows what a big deal he is.
PURPLE TOAD'S FURY CONFIRMED
Err mandatesisters our response?
the mandate was repealed after the success of the movie. both mario wonder and mario RPG also break the mandates rules.
The mandate only existed in the minds of Tanabe dick suckers.
The mandate was always real. TTYD remake was allowed to happen on the condition that he be allowed to butcher F-Zero.
I'm watching it now, i'm at the Peach game, 8/10 so far.
Thoughts on the Tomb Raider remakes/remasters?
>she wasn't nerfed
Nature is healing.
I fucking hate Mario/10
What's his problem?
mentally ill attention whore
No XBX/10
So many shitty remakes, if they want to remake something at least remake OOT, MM and TP.
The 3DS remakes don't count.
>sex x children
+2
>unicorn overlord
+1 for looking good
+1 for being another meme name game to join the ranks of octopath and triangle strategy
4/10 and that's the best I can do.
F-Zero 99 will shut down within a year due to lack of players and Nintendo will shrug and go "guess no one cares about F-Zero anymore" before shelving the series for good
Needing 99 players to fill a lobby for a game to be fully enjoyed is such a bad design choice. Even the most popular battle royals have a good chunk of the players as bots now.
I don't think you actually need 99 players for these games
tetris 99 is incredibly popular. also yea, the game will fill the remainder with bots, it doesn't have to be 99 players.
are physical switch games dead? I swear everything these days has to be imported to get a physical copy. At this rate nintendo's next console will be purely digital.
Where the fuck is the ttyd followup? Feels like such a slap in the face that they'd rather make a buck off ttyd again than make a new game.
C+
some good game reveals, spent too much time reshowing announcements they already made + why tf is there a 'damage all' mode in SMRPG, fzero looks dumb, no idea how Peach's game is supposed to work, too much jarpig stuff, mario vs DK instead of DKC
+wario move it
+new contra
+tomb raider collection lets you play old style
Side Order I’m interested in because I loved OctoExpanssion, the Toomb Raider remasters actually look very good, and TTYD doesn’t look as bad as people say; at least it’ll give Zoomers a taste of real Paper Mario
where's the p3r announcement bros
3 or 4 / 10
just so done with 1st party ports and remasters
only the vanillaware game looks interesting
lots of these games seem to be releasing in march
do they expect the next console to be announced in April?
Possibly, they said they wouldn't be announcing new hardware for the entire fiscal year, which ends in April
I meant "ends at the beginning of April"
why wasnt baten kaitos in the direct?
it comes out today
The model of announcing 1st party games in bulk, just to keep hyping them up in bulk with future announcements, needs to fucking die in a fire.
If you have nothing to show, then don't make a direct.
REMAKE REMAKE REMAKE
Another Code and Peach looked cool though
2/10
probably the last lineup for switch before successor comes out so its expected they're saving the best shit for switch 2 launch period.
4/10. Mario vs. Donkey Kong looked good, Contra and Super Mario RPG looked decent. The rest I have no interest in. The F-Zero game was a letdown
pretty okay. not exceptional
Dog Shit/10
One of the worst Directs they have ever put out. Nearly all of the announcements were extremely poor and lazy sales pitches for mediocre products.
4/10
Honestly I can tell the switch era is at its end, the next direct will very likely have their next console in it. So I’m not too upset the direct sucked this time
Which game was "the Vanillaware game" and why is that all anyone calls it instead of naming the title?
Unicorn Overlord
Pfffhahahaha, so that's why nobody is addressing it by name.
5/10
Only for Vanilaware game.
7/10 a Lot of Remakes and Remasters and No New IP
8/10
+ holy shit Another Code remake pack, if you told me this 10yrs ago I'd call you a liar
+ Contra
+Toad in Mario vs Donkey Kong
+F-Zero 99 works better than expected is basically a free death race
+ getting Funky, Diddy AND Pauline when we were expecting 2 racers
- Peachette is one of the racers
+ SMRPG getting trio moves
+ peach game looks alright
+back to a normal Warioware
++ HORY SHET PAPER MARIO IS BACK
+vanillaware trpg
it was fine but the big closer should be a new game not a remake as much as I love the fact that we are getting a TTYD remake
fuck you morons I loved it
I only care about games from third party devs and there was nothing for me at this Direct. That's not really Nintendo's fault though, it just means that none of the devs I care about had anything to show at the moment. I also own a PS4 so I hope something relevant to my interests shows up at the State of Play in a few hours. The only one that "wins" is me and that's only if games that interest me show up.
Yeah I'm sure there'll be something cool in state of play sony pony lmao
Why are you retards so obsessed with console wars? I own multiple platforms, I only care about games. I'm mainly hoping Dragons Dogma 2 shows up in a few hours since it's confirmed to be at TGS. I don't care about first party Sony or Nintendo games.
Imagine being a grown man simping for sony
IT'S UP

no one cares dude
Why does everyone want to fuck Another Code? It looked trite and unimpressive to me. Is it because the female lead communicates exclusively through gasps and whimpers?
Unironically 0
Especially the fact it got hyped to hell over leaks just to be this shit.
2/10. Filled with remakes, indieslop and not a single gameplay footage of Metroid Prime 4. Hurrah for Mariofags I guess.
new princess peach game looks good, otherwise a bunch of pointless shit
>TTYD
doesn't need a remake or a remaster, make a new game that's an RPG and people will buy it
Weren't leakers saying the switch 2 was supposed to be announced in this direct?
They absolutely did and as always Ganker was wrong
>Ganker is wrong
e-retards isn't Ganker retard
>e-retards
You mean you? You're not any better than twitter bitch chud.
Those would be some stupid fucking "leakers" if so. They're not gonna announce a new system with a big game like Super Mario Wonder about to release.
0/10 because no kirby
