I liked Skyward Sword. High highs, low lows, a middle-of-the-pack Zelda game but a good game overall. But I have zero interest in ever revisiting it.
The Direct was disappointing in that I would have hoped to at least seen one of big hitters. Bringing Aonuma on and then not showing BotW2 was lame. But overall there were a fair amount of games shown that I'm interested in. Even just based off of this first Direct of the year, I will be getting more games on Switch this year than I did last year (which isn't saying much, but it's a good start seeing as it's only February).
Unfortunately, it does feel like it's going to be yet another pretty light year from Nintendo first-party, though.

I have to concede though...that is a lot of games and not everything should always cater to me. A lot of people will find something out of that to buy. The Direct had a lot of games no doubt see no ing that list.

Project Triangle Strategy seems to be a proper spiritual successor to Final Fantasy Tactics. Let's gooooooooo

Sure does. Exclusive to the Switch and looking amazing. Shadow dropped demo as well.
Ok, what’s your issue? Stop tagging people that are not even in the thread...pretty sure this is a case of harassment and antagonization.

Cause they don't want Zelda fans attention on BOTW2 more than on SS remaster. They'll say more once the game is out.

Not going to undercut Age of Calamity sales either. Just makes to wait until its ready.

Yet here we are.
I mean even Nintendo diehards are pretty disappointed on youtube.
Giantbomb was even down on it and usually there's some positivity there.
Hope Nintendo is holding out for summer to blow the lid off.

Well that was bad for a Dream Direct but solid for a regular Direct.
Lotsa great looking games.
I'm missing my Metroid and BOTW but damn am I looking forward to SS cuz that is one hell of a game!!!
Splatoon 3 is really cool but also disappointing cuz I figure the 3rd entry deserved a true generational leap for the series. Shoulda been a Switch 2 launch title.
3 games in a new series with similar level of tech feels somewhat stagnant.
Game still looks great and I'm sure it'll be incredible but I just think a Splatoon 3 with a generational leap woulda been the better move.
Where was SMT? Sigh end of year I guess....
I don't even care about it myself but where was Bayo 3?
Mario Golf looks fucking hot, as do all those RPGS (sorry I refuse to use that non-term "JRPG").
Happy about a Mii game! Can't believe I didn't think of it but I'm happy there's one coming.
Pyra is great but no Rex is disappointing.

Very disappointing, but at least I won't have to spend money on my switch until the second half of the year.
Really jumped out at me how poorly the SS art style aged, or maybe it was nevdr good to begin with and I just didn't care about it at the time.

A little late to the party, but...
Damn, this Direct was amazing!! I almost died of joy when I saw "project triangle". I was like "OMG, Tactics Ogre?!? Final Fantasy Tactics?!?". Wooow, it looks SO GOOD! Finally a new, triple-A-quality SRPG on the horizon!! AMAZING, haha!!
And then... SKYWARD SWORD H-D, BABY!! I wasn't too shocked about this one to be honest, because to me it was too obvious it would come - the Switch is just a too perfect fit for this kind of HD remaster. Anyway, I'm so happy, because SS one of my favorite Zeldas and really deserved a remaster, because it completely maxed out the Wii when it came out, so the solution and framerate had to suffer back then.
I also believe that the smaller Joycon are gonna make it even more comfortable to play (Wiimotes are quite a bit more to grab).
Monster Hunter & No More Heroes looked really good, too.
Overall, seeing the huge variety of all kinds of different "fun"-looking games made me pretty happy. GOOD SHIT!
100% serious. High five, mate!

Splatoon is like Street Fighter. People that play it are still playing the last game nearly every day. It'll be 4 years between releases. I'm ready for part 3 now. Put about 500 hrs into 2 and still play it.

Which games looked great? They all looked last gen (thats being generous) and half of them literally are from last gen.

Ouch... I wanted to give it a try but I'll skip it then, I'll probably check it whenever it's out if it has jap VO.
Anime + english voices sounds like whatever people hear when they die and go to hell to me...

Huh? I checked the Japanese e-shop: https://store-jp.nintendo.com/list/software/70010000037866.html
And it's mention the demo have English language. I'm gonna try download the Japanese demo.

If what the other poster says is true, then they probably had different SKU per region so language is region locked

thats not completely true, I loved the english dub for anime show like Mushishi and love english voices in Japanese games like Nier Gestalt/Automata.
But in case of Triangle Strategy and Monster Hunter Rise I definitely prefer Japanese voices.

Great is relative first of all. Just cuz it's not the most advanced technology doesn't mean it can't also look great on its own terms.
Smash Ultimate can look gorgeous, as can The Medium, a PS1, or an NES game.
And I wasn't even referring to the graphics anyway, I meant that they look like good games. How else am I supposed to phrase that?
It's not always about the best graphics, and I love better graphics.
Buncha those games look like great games. And yeah, many are still visually pleasing as well. I want a Pro/2 as much as the next guy but I'm not gonna say something looks awful just cuz it's not the best looking thing ever.

Ok, I just tried the JP demo. Basically it's the same as the US demo. They used the same language as your machine. So if you change to Japanese for the console, then the demo will use Japanese language for text and voice

These showcases always end up being underwhelming because people always expects so much from them.
At this point, Nintendo, Sony and MS should only do showcases for their bigger announcements and games because at the end of the day that’s all people want to see.

SEGA is probably still pissed at Nintendo for driving them out of the hardware business. I would have loved to see a Dreamcast 2 from Sega.

English is not my mother language, it actually sounds very unmatching over anime characters to me and my friends... I guess for those speaking spanish in general too.

Better that the PS5 Future of Gaming event? You drunk or something? Most of the Direct were trash looking MP F2P titles, DLCs, ports, remasters, awful looking Japanese games and announcements that have no place in these type of events (like Hades' physical release). But I'm not surprised by your awful take considering the stupid ass note in which you ended your post.
Like I said, this terrible Direct does not surpass The Future of Gaming as the best live event in recent memory:
- Horizon: Forbidden West
- Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales
- Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart
- Gran Turismo 7
- Demon's Souls
- Returnal
- Astro's Playroom
- Sackboy: A Big Adventure
- Resident Evil: Village
- Project Athia
- Pragmata
- Hitman 3
- Deathloop
- Ghostwire Tokyo
- Little Devil Inside
- Kena: Bridge of Spirits
- Oddworld: Soulstorm
- Stray

Game even has "attacks of opportunity" right? Did FF Tactics have those?
