Probably the RRP of every other HD port that Nintendo have released on Switch.

SS is up for $60 preorder at Best Buy
Everything on the Switch is $60
Even the 3DS port of Miitopia that was originally a $30 game

I thought it was pretty good. Don't know why some people expected reveals of big AAA holiday titles when it was explicitly stated that this Direct would mostly focus on games coming in the first half of the year. The first party Fall Line Up will probably be talked about during Spring/Summer.

Totally agree, they seem to be still finding their feet with all this, and this is of course a lot tougher when it's all your own internal studios probably uses to working together on certain projects, but never give up hope, Nintendo have been shadow dropping quite a bit, so hopefully there will be more stuff.

I get that, and to be honest I feel the main issue is hype here, it''s been over a year since a mainline Nintendo direct, and last year was a little sparse first party wise, people just expected to see Nintendo show stuff they were keeping up their sleeves.

Legend of Mana HD was a pleasant surprise.
So was Triangle Strategy (what a name ugh) though I wonder if it’ll stand shoulder to shoulder with the great of the genre especially in terms of writing. The art direction perfectly fits SRPGs and the mechanics taken from other RPGs can work pretty well in a SRPG. I just find the colors and character designs to lack charm and oomph.
Famicom Detective Club too was unexpected and I look forward to learn more about it.
The rest is meh for the most part. Ports are cool and all but he Switch needs heavy hitters.

That's understandable. But If you look at Nintendo's contemporaries, they aren't alone in this. Sony hasn't talked about new games coming to their shiny new PS5 that weren't already announced, and Xbox still has yet to show us anything besides Xbox One Ports and games that are still years away from releasing. Nintendo's biggest games usually arrive in the Fall anyway, so I'm not sure why people expected that to change after more than a decade.
But with all said, this was a pretty stacked Direct, You got Monster Hunter, Famicom Detective Club, Splatoon 3, Skyward Sword HD, Samurai Warriors 5, and a bunch of other games coming. Plus other games coming the first half that weren't talked about like New Pokemon Snap.

Totally agree, and it is far easier in the core marketplace, where you have multiple developers working on a stream of triple AAA games, these can be revealed years before release, but you always have ones ready to come out as more are announced.
Like I said it's not going to affect Switch sales anytime soon and there is still a tonne of content incoming, I would just like to see a little more evidence of Nintendo's first party studios working on things, not expecting miracles, but it does seem like a bare minimum at the moment.

It's a Nintendo Direct, what do you think?
But yeah I thought there was a couple decent announcements.

You must've loved the new trailer, it showed off a lot of new areas!
I liked what I saw, especially in the latest trailer, but im just not into Monster Hunter and the Rise demo didnt grab me either.

Depends on what you are expecting. It's not great or outstanding, but also not complete trash.
Wouldn't waste your time.

Loved the trailer and really like the new maps and Monster they showed. Happy to see insect type monster return, I hope we get more down the line.

I missed the part about this being for the first half of the year. If the next Direct is as good or better than this I'd say we're in good shape.

Imagine you’ve watching a crack head pull her knickers down in the fruit and veg isle at Walmart. She makes eye contact with you, she lifts her skirt, she squats down like a feral monkey. You hear a gurgle, a rumble. A torrent of hot, steaming, liquid dioareah shit explodes from her arse hole. The splatters reach your brand new white converse, they’re ruined. The stench singes your nostril hairs. The manager then walks over and asks you to pay $59.99 for the privilege. That was this direct.

I'm never sure why people ever like scanlines in things like MAME etc.
What in the world of fuck is going on with those scanlines in the crapcom collection..
Holy shit dudes hahahahahha
I don't know .. makes the game look shittier I think.

This is a work of art, Bukowski-esque in fashion.

Yeah, pretty bad but I can't be mad as I knew that.
Skyward sword can work because of the joycons, but it's a lot less ergonomic and uncomfortable than the Wii controller. Plus they literally just up res'd it to 1080p with no improvements, so it probably looks worse than the original. To my eyes, they might have messed up graphical effects already like the DOF. What a garbage effort. TP HD is an inferior version all round, but at least they tried to improve the graphics. WWHD being the most successful remaster.
Great to finally get a release date on no more heroes though. The combat looks as it was before, which is great. I'm a bit disappointed it takes the TSA template in its visual style, and there's the death glove thing. I'd rather they have kept the original look, but with more polygons or whatever, but I think it will be a good game and i'm excited for it.

These scanlines look pretty sick imo
plot twist this is the new 3DS screen and those are basically the real display scanlines.. as the screen is basically close to 240P .. i still think the 3ds display is the best for snes games

I sold my Switch 4 days ago, so when the Direct was announced, I said "damn, they are going to be dropping some bombs that will make me regret selling it"
Nope.
Don't give a shit about Splatoon. Was expecting Zelda Collection, we got Zelda SS for $60? Laughable
No BoTW 2 gameplay. No More Heroes 3 seems nice, but the franchise is like 7/10 to me.
Just a bunch of indies and ports of old games.
Some of them are really good (Stubbs and NG), but c'mon, owning a Switch for ports of old games, indies and a good exclusive once per 2 years?

I just wanted a SCREENSHOT of Breath of the Wild 2. That's all. Nintendo can't be bothered.

Not sure about skyward being 60fps, seems a bit out of character for Nintendo to take a port and change the fps. But to my eyes on the stream, it was 60.
EDIT : and there you go, it's 60.

If it's an consolation I don't think any of the game looks good.
Hahahahaaha fuck me capcom what the hell are you guys doing
I like the idea of co-op but I'm not liking the way Arthur moves. I think the one on PSP Ultimate had a better art style but.. I hope I'm wrong.

Are you all srsly that mad at Nintendo? I think the Direct was just ok... What's wrong with it? There are some cool stuff that cought my attention like Mario Tenis, that Famicon Detective VN, Skyward Sword (I've been waiting SO LONG for it to be re-released, don't care enough about BOTW2 yet), Splatoon 3, NMH3... Those are some I will most probably buy after I'm done with my already acumulated Switch backlog...

For some reason I thought the Switch was backwards compatible with digital WiiU games... I obviously don't have one.
