New Tekken characters in Smash.
New Monster Hunter game.
No Metroid Prime 4
Fatal Frame
BoTW 2 trailer.

Plus a lot of other stuff.

How would you grade this Nintendo Direct?

 

[SALMORE]

Awesome show

 

[Kazekage1981]

No bayonetta 3

:/

 

[Wunray]

-A.

 

[prinz_valium]

C-
Without BOTW2 gameplay it would've been a D

 

[SlimeGooGoo]

.

 

[Starlight Lotice]

I liked a few games like Metroid, Warioware and possibly Adavnce Wars....but felt that they didn't show enough original stuff and no Bayonetta 3 yet again.

We knew about BOTW2 and SMT5 coming, which is nice I guess.

Voted B but it was a B-. Nothing bad, but felt they shown too much of stuff we already seen.

 

[SpiceRacz]

Solid B. Between Advance Wars, Metroid Dread, and footage of BoTW2, I was really happy with the presentation.

 

[Jeff Spicoli]

Exept for Metroid Dread and Wario, not many surprises.
Overall a good show.

 

[Bruno_Arrais85]

Zelda saved E3

 

[Bragr]

Very good, a solid B, you are crazy if you expected more than this.

SMT V looked terrible though.

 

[anab0lic36]

2/10 aside from SMTV didn't care for any of it.

 

[Fake]

I rank B. Would be A if they showed the Switch PRO, but they show a loads of games.

My only problem was Skyward Sword with that awful low res textures.

 

[Akuji]

Metroid looked okay, but not awesome. Probably gonna play it and enjoy it but showing wasnt good. BotW trailer was stupid and i really disliked it. Advanced Wars is the unexpected hitter. Looking forward to it.
SMT, never played one before, this got me kinda interested, lets see.

C, overall really weak for an E3 or any other Major Event showing.

 

[digoutyoursoul]

Love Metroid, so looking forward to that. Hope we hear about Bayonetta 3 before the year is out.

 

[AJUMP23]

No new Mario game so I gave it a B. But a new 2D metroid in October really takes the cake.

 

[Saber]

I would say its nice. Even though it has some titles I have no interest whatsoever, they at least know how to make a presentation. I also like the new Party game. B effort.

Btw, wheres this "sWiTcH pRo" leakers spammed the entire time?

 

[Die Namek Ability]

I gave it a C it was decent, i was disappointed in the metriod reveal. I really dislike the over reliance on mario spin off stuff but thats Nintendo. I would have gone D but Botw 2 saved it 7/10

 

[Dr Bass]

Nintendo doesn't seem to managed that well. No Metroid 4, no Bayo 3. People give MS crap for Everwild and not following through on games, but Nintendo is doing the same thing, if not worse. BotW 2 sounds like it could slip to 2023 for crying out loud.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

Probably a D

they haven’t shown anything for two years and all we get is a small, unimpressive botw2 trailer ?

what has this company been doing?

What a disaster, it isn’t even coming out until 2022 as well

 

[Maestr0]

Advance Wars, Metroid Dread, Shin Megami Tensei V, BOTW2,

honestly the bad taste of this E3 is gone !!!!!!!

 

[NewYork214]

Solid B. SmT and fatal frame look sick. And they got a smile from me with the way they announced Kazuya for smash. Kirby thing was cute lol

Give me my switch pro tho. Gave my bro my switch. On verge of buying him the portable version and taking mine back. But want a 4k version nintendo. Damn it

 

[R6Rider]

I gave it a B, but it's almost a C as they had too many remakes or ports shown.

 

[Hosam6xavi]

Solid A

new 2D Metroid game - awesome Mario party game finally bigger boards and fucking Zelda breath of the wild 2 wow just wow

 

[SlimySnake]

Zelda trailer was really short but looked really really good. And I say this as a BOTW hater. This might be the game I wanted to play 4 years ago.

Overall, not a conference for me. Metroid and Zelda were the only highlight. No Mario sequel. Odyssey came out in 2017 so 3.5 years and not even a teaser? No Metroid Prime 4 footage despite announcing the reboot two years ago. No Bayonetta 3 footage.

Where is the switch pro?

Zelda and Metroid showings probably earn it a C but I gave the MS conference a C yesterday and that conference was way better so D for Nintendo this year unfortunately.

 

[ULTROS!]

I’m not a Nintendo fan but my god this is the only conference that saved E3.

 

[Chukhopops]

In terms of new announcements that was awful. But the games already announced look good (SMT V, MH Stories). Kazuya in Smash is disappointing.

So somewhere between C and D.

 

[mortal]

B+
Pretty solid show overall.

Wish there was less focus on ports and more on new titles. Already knew just from the length of this direct we weren't getting a Switch Pro unveiling.
Nintendo's showcase was the best of this E3, although the bar was set so fucking low already tbh lol

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

BOTW2 looked like an extremely safe sequel with hardly any improvements, they are reusing the same world

 

[UltimaKilo]

No Monolith, No new IP, no Bayonetta, No Metroid Prime, No surprise announcement like an Eternal Darkness or Pandora’s Tower, no N64 Switch Online and barely showed anything of BOTW2 with a *probably won’t come out next year* disclaimer.

 

[xray49er]

Only game I would play is BOTW2 nothing else is for me I am sure my son loved this direct though it was right up his alley

 

[Zones]

Nintendo fanboy: OMG 10/10 BEST SHOWCASE EVER!
Normal (but still generous) person: 5/10

 

[Ma-Yuan]

D because it didn't hit my tastes at all. Metroid Dread looked horrible. No Bayonetta, no MP4 and no Xenoblade BotW2 was a given to appear but I am one of the few people who didn't enjoy Botw much. I thought it was boring as hell so I have no real interest in the second part. No new switch hardware stealth release... God the only game that sparked my interest ist smtv and the release date was already leaked...

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

I'm not shitting you I was really fired up when I saw Cruis'n Blast

 

[SegaShack]

Advance Wars
Wario Ware
Zelda Game and Watch

They did amazing

 

[Nautilus]

Holy shit, this was the best presentation Nintendo had in years.

Gotta say that 40 minutes is not as long as I though.

The only thing I can say I was dissapointed is that Monolith was nowhere to be seen.

This was easily a 9/10 conference.

 

[Fake]

Some people are dissapointed with this Direct, but keep in mind that I saw all other E3/Summer event, so this was kinda OK in comparison with the others people are trying to hype.

 

[NewChoppa]

C. I was kinda underwhelmed, but BOTW2 news and a new Metroid game are pretty cool.

But damn, I’m kinda surprised they’re STILL so quiet about Prime 4 and Bayonetta 3…

 

[ranmafan]

For me it was an A. SMTV looked great. Advance wars and fatal frame were nice surprises. I was watching the Japanese stream so I was very happy when I saw super robot wars 30 annouced. And of course the Zelda game & watch and botw footage was nice

 

[hououinkyouma00]

Automatic F for no Wind Waker HD.

Smash. Fuck off.
Literally who indies. Fuck off.
Metroid Dread. Cool
SMTV. Cool
Danganronpa. Cool
Fatal Frame. Cool.
No WW/TP. Fuck off
BOTW2. Cool, but that was basically nothing.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

S +

Very interesting and many games coming to Nintendo switch.

God bless this console

 

[thatJohann]

Nothing exciting for me. I’d rate it a C for new 2D Metroid I guess.

 

[SlimySnake]

Probably a D

they haven’t shown anything for two years and all we get is a small, unimpressive botw2 trailer ?

what has this company been doing?

What a disaster, it isn’t even coming out until 2022 as well

Yeah, like I said, no Bayonetta 2, No new Mario. No Metroid Prime 4. These are their AAA franchises and have been MIA the entire gen with Mario Odyssey coming out at launch.

Lots of smaller stuff. I will buy Metroid on Day 1, but I had figured that this would be the year Nintendo brings in the big guns. They are in their fifth year already.

 

[jaysius]

A solid Z.

New Metroid has shitty boss chase sequence that fucked up the 3ds game, the art style looks like shit, and it’ll probably be $80 CND.

Also 5 seconds of BOTW2 and it looks like Fynix Rising...

No Switch Pro.

Fuck Nintendo.

 

[SpongebobSquaredance]

Easily the best e3 conference.

Short, but filled with nice titles. BOTW2 was stunning. They actually revived Metroid Dread??? OMG
SMT V looks amazing, so does the new Mario + Rabbids.

Monkey Ball Remaster, Fatal Frame Remaster, Advance Wars Remake.

Also a new Cruis'n?? LMFAO

My only gripe is that a lot was already known (although Metroid was definitely a nice surprise), but generally, there is a lot to look forward to and most of those games are dated for this year.

 

[Shouta]

Good showing for them this year. SMTV footage, a new Super Robot Wars (showed on JP Stream) Espagaluda and Mushihime ports, Kazuya in Smash, etc.

 

[SCB3]

I rank it B, I liked Xbox's more if I'm honest, some good stuff here

• A new Metroid - Still nothing on Prime really, I expected a bit more, like the 3DS game to be ported and the Prime Trilogy, but I suppose thats an easy release closer to 4
• Mario Party looked good and fun and really what Super MP should've been
• WarioWare!
• Fatal Frame looks interesting to me, not played any of them aside from the one on Wii U I think?
• SMTV looking cool, I may look into that more as I got into Persona with 4 Golden so never checked out SMT at all really
• Mario Golf is looking fun
• Danganrompa is a fantastic collection, I've played them already, but still fantastic for newcomers
• Kazuya Mishima is a interesting choice, we're finally getting SF x Tekken in a better game!

Zelda not getting a 35th anniversary sucks though, I mean its such an easy sell, still I never played SS so looking forward to that

 

[InterMusketeer]

Giving it a B.

Lots of "smaller" titles like Metroid Dread, Mario Party and Wario Ware. Also I'm stoked about the revival of Advance Wars. Good to see Fatal Frame again as well. Most of these are coming out this year, which is good.

Apart from that it's kinda lacking big releases. I'd personally count SMTV as a big game, but many others probably don't care. Zelda BotW2 is coming next year. No other big titles shown or announced. No Donkey Kong, no Zelda collection. Lacking updates on other major releases like Metroid Prime, Bayonetta. In that sense the Direct was pretty disappointing.

It was better than the rest of E3, but that's a really low bar.

 

[Fake]

I’m not a Nintendo fan but my god this is the only conference that saved E3.

This was me. I guess people need to watch the others conference to grade the Nintendo Direct.

 

[nightmare-slain]

Only interesting things were shin megami and botw2
