C ... Castlevania Collection, Kirby, and the short glimpse of Dread saved it from being a D. Too much time spent showing updates and DLCs to games I'm no longer playing or interested in.

A lot better than their earlier showing imo.
3D Kirby game looks decent.(I'll grab this for the other half next year)
Castlevania advance collection, any news on price or anything? Want to buy it on Xbox.
Bayonetta 3 looked decent, I've already shifted my switch though, I couldn't ever go back to 30fps, wish bayonetta games were on other platforms though.
Splatoon 3 will be decent.
N64 games coming to switch, it's a massive shame that it's tied to a subscription though, just let people buy the titles they want.
Megadrive games coming to switch was unexpected, but isn't very exciting either due to the fact there is millions of megadrive collections already.

Honestly, I loved it (for the most part).
Kirby: Seattle Day 1 looks fantastic, I can't complain about having more 3D platformers and Kirby in particular is one of my favourite Nintendo IPs. It has tons of potential to be much more than a 2D platformer series. Actraiser was an unexpected surprise for me, although I'll be getting that one on PS. The board selection for the "new" Mario Party ended up being quite good, I can't wait to try that one out with my mates as well.
Both of the first looks (Bayo 3 and Splatoon 3) look quite interesting as well, I can't wait to see more of them.
I think it's quite cuntish of them to lock N64 games behind another NSO paywall, although I'll end up paying whatever extra they ask for just to have access to Paper Mario 64, Banjo, S&P, and Crystal Shards. It was also disappointing to not see the new Smash character today, and the fact that we'll have to wait even more to see whatever update they have planned for New Horizons is mind-blowing to me. Too little, too late for that.
EDIT: Oh, and Yoko Taro's new RPG is a day one purchase from me as well!

C. Some decent new games but a lot seemed just kinda meh. Also still no new Monolith Soft game.
It took them only around 2.5 years after the initial Xenoblade X launch to launch Xenoblade 2. Around one more year, September 2018, for a large expansion with a lot of new content including story cut scenes.
It's been 3 years since then and we haven't even seen a trailer.
What is Monolith doing?

Splatoon was the highlight for me.
Apart from that, Metroid Dread/Bayonetta/Kirby all look really good. The Mario announcement was hilarious as well seeing just how star-studded the cast is.
I really enjoyed.

Splatoon 2 was played by 12 million people lol. If you were watching on Youtube it was one of the most spammed requests in chat.

Gonna give it a C because they failed to excite me, with anything. But this doesn’t mean the games shown were bad.

Ask me about my Stream Deck
I thought it was pretty great, but gave it a B. The only reason was they withheld the animal crossing and smash info. Why have an announcement for an announcement in there at all??? Otherwise great show.
The Mario movie stuff had me laughing

The worst thing is put Seth Rogen as cast of Mario movie

It was passable. On one hand we finally got some Bayonetta 3, and on the other we got multiple "hey we will have more info on this stuff in the future" bullshit.
Without Splatoon and Bayonetta it would be an F for me honestly.

This was a great Direct, B+ only misses an A/A+ because I was hoping for a Metroid Prime trilogy remaster or Twilight Princess and Wind waker HD

I'd go with a low C just to be fair. They showed a decent amount of stuff but not much that I'm particularly interested in. A lot of their kind of games don't appeal to me, and I already played the likes of Disco Elysium on the PC. The new online tier was trash, but the Mario movie balanced it out.

An "A" for me... shit just kept me going from cheer to cheer, I have lots of other stuff to play so I don't care about a million new things coming... Hell, I've been wanting to play SF64 soooo bad these months! ♥
Did they promise it to you? Cause I don't remember, so I'll just go with "they have nothing to do with your arbitrary expectations"

Pros,
Dread looks sick, I’m really excited for it now.
Triangle Strategy looks good.
Disco Elysium will be bought unless it runs like shit.
New Kirby and Bayo 3 next year.
Cons:
Making me believe there would be Astral Chain 2
Tons of ports
Everything is 2022 now
50 bucks for an N64 controller, no thx I’ll keep my Xbox emulators
Overall: solid B

You are probably right. It’s just nothing I wanted when Splatoon 2 came out not too long ago.

Gave it a D. I liked the Monster Hunter expansion, Splatoon 3, maybe the card game from Square. Otherwise there just wasn't much I was personally interested in. The paid N64 upgrade is a travesty. I'm happy they moved Smash and Animal Crossing to their own streams since I don't give a damn about them. I hate the Mario movie. Nintendo's 2021 has just been disappointing for me and this Direct didn't do much to change that.

D. I was okay “renting” classic games as it came with the online. At an increased price that they are too scared to mention, I’m not thrilled. Add in that it’s missing WaveRace, the emulator likely still doesn’t do textures correctly, and we don’t have GBA games coming with it, and I’m disappointed.
All the Sega rentals probably means no more sega ages.
No Zelda or Metroid remasters.
No new Mario, Donkey Kong, or Mario Kart
Most exciting thing was castlevania collection, which I’ll buy on another platform.

Solid C+ (or 3* using my previously established system). It did what it needed to do.
Still don't care about Nintendo online and am surprised Splatoon 3 didn't get a date, but I'm happy for a 3D platformer and Triangle Strategy coming early next year, plus some good Japanese third party support. Happy for Bayo fans as well. Also this doesn't add to the score but that Mario casting is weird.
I'm surprised people are complaining about the way they handled Smash and Animal Crossing. To me the best approach is to have them as separate events.

As soon as they showed the new Kirby game, the first thing I thought was "damn, why don't they make a real 3D Donkey Kong title?"

As far as I could tell it's better than most Nintendo shows, in terms of overall represented value. If I were a much different person and wanted much different things from my gaming console, I would probably be pretty happy with that. But in terms of a presentation which sheds new light & info on what to expect coming up from Switch, ie in terms of me looking for something (a release slate) that I might actually be interested in playing, it was, as usual for Nintendo, quite poor.
Actraiser remaster or whatever, handheld Castlevania collection, N64/Genesis extra sub tier, nostalgic controllers for 50 apiece, Kirby, another Splatoon, a Bayonetta that looks like it would be a really terrific-looking PS3 mid-gen title, Animal Crossing & Golf Game updates... this kind of stuff all ranks very, very low for me personally. I'm excited to play Dread & Triangle; nothing else is something I would ever consider paying for.
Hence, in my personal opinion it's a D. But ordinarily Nintendo is an F, so this is technically progress as far as I'm concerned.
