And still no Metroid Prime 4

[FunkMiller]

They’re not announcing switch 2 until the first financial quarter of 2024 lads.

 

[Cyberpunkd]

Nintendo to fans:

 

[AJUMP23]

Paper mario......Fun but not Fzero

 

[jorgejjvr]

Yeah this is the end of the switch lol

 

[Sojiro]

And still no Metroid Prime 4

Yeah I am fully convinced it's a switch 2 title now. At this point, that is probably a good thing for the game.

 

[Punished Miku]

I never did play 1000 year door. I'll consider it.

 

[Robb]

This is day -1 for me!

 

[sloppyjoe_gamer]

-Where's the Metroid Prime Echos Switch port that's supposedly done?
- Zelda Windwaker and Twilight Princess Switch versions that are supposedly ready?

What a fucking snoozefest.....

 

[LavitzSlambert]

LMFAOOO THAT ENDING!@!!!!@

 

[ArtHands]

Seems a lot of titles still incoming for Nintendo Switch here

 

[RoboFu]

well that direct just makes it a fact that a n ew console is launching next year. All the Big games they are working on now is for the next console.

 

[tkscz]

Super Mario RPG AND Paper Mario the Thousand Year Door? We truly live in the best timeline.

 

[AJUMP23]

there are a few good nuggets in there.

Fzero 99
MArio Wonder
Peach game
Unicorn sword
Amiibo

 

[Touch fuzZy. get BizZay]

Celebration dance

 

[StueyDuck]

Eh I didn't have high hopes but at least there wasnt as many farming games and era probably didn't jizz too much at creepy weeb games

Overall I rate this a 6/10

Didn't bum me out but it also wasn't anything special

 

[trent_the_gent]

Switch 2 is 100% going to be releasing late next year.

 

[Elder Legend]

A pretty decent show for a console.thats basically in its final days.

 

[ADiTAR]

D.

 

[Gambit2483]

They really are stretching out this last year...yeesh

 

[shoplifter]

I remain convinced that against all good sense that the new console will not have BC and you'll get another Nintendo Direct at the end of it's lifecycle selling you all of these same remakes

 

[Dorfdad]

BOOM!

 

[FunkMiller]

The Tomb Raider collection was the best thing in that. If they update the control scheme and movement itll be fucking great.

 

[Robb]

I pray they use this TTYD remake as a template for Paper Mario games going forward on “Switch 2”.

 

[Fbh]

That new Vanillaware game looks nice.
Nothing else was even remotely interesting to me.

 

[MagnesD3]

Part of me wants to buy TTYD not because I dont have the OG but to show that a good paper mario can sell better but idk. I lost faith in Paper Mario for years now thanks to Miyamoto.

 

[FalconPunch]

A real L direct. Not impressed at all.

 

[Punished Miku]

Wasn't bad. Plenty to play, and we all know the system is winding down. F-Zero shadow drop is a fun little bonus.

 

[Stafford]

So a remake/remaster of Paper Mario is probably gonna be the Switch's swang song? Well, that I doubt too. They won't do away with that install base so easily.

Meh Direct.

 

[Maestr0]

Another Code, now that I wasn't expecting at all, what a good surprise

 

[Saber]

Gonna give thousand worth of laugh reactions to people thinking about Switch 2 and those raytracing and other stupid features rumors Nintendo don't care about lmfao

 

[AV]

Remaking SMRPG and TTYD at the same time while skipping Paper Mario is the most Nintendo thing ever.

 

[Dorfdad]

I remain convinced that against all good sense that the new console will not have BC and you'll get another Nintendo Direct at the end of it's lifecycle selling you all of these same remakes

This has already been “rumored” but they say that they titles will be upcharged for new switch so like 9.99 for the upgrade

 

[Gambit2483]

I haven't bought any Amiibo for a long time, but man those do look good.

They didn't even bother to tell their functionality

Oh look, another broadsword!

 

[Sojiro]

well that direct just makes it a fact that a n ew console is launching next year. All the Big games they are working on now is for the next console.

Yep I agree. Some people in here are losing their shit about this direct, but it definitely seems like Nintendo is winding down on the games for the current switch. Successor is definitely on the horizon.

 

[Emedan]

Remaking SMRPG and TTYD at the same time while skipping Paper Mario is the most Nintendo thing ever.

Paper Mario can be played on NSO.

Man what a banger to leave on, day one.

 

[Little Mac]

I'll give it an 7.5 ... The Atlus/Vanillaware game was a pleasant surprise. No Metroid Prime 2 remastered announcement was a shame.

 

[NanaMiku]

Pretty excited with the announcement of the Nintendo Museum. They said it's gonna finished in 2023, so I hope they not delayed it. I'm going to Japan at the end of January lol

 

[Boy bawang]

I found this direct to be absolute garbage and a new console is badly needed.

 

[MagnesD3]

Remaking SMRPG and TTYD at the same time while skipping Paper Mario is the most Nintendo thing ever.

Yeah the original is in my top 5 games of all time, I love that game, its very funny to me its getting no remake while the other two are.

 

[NotMyProblemAnymoreCunt]

THOUSAND YEAR DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR

 

[LavitzSlambert]

Remaking SMRPG and TTYD at the same time while skipping Paper Mario is the most Nintendo thing ever.

It was added to NSO's N64 lineup last year. I can see them doing an enhanced/HD re-release one day, perhaps on Super Switch.

 

[AJUMP23]

Cosplay peach looks like it could be fun if you want to play with your dolls.

Probably good but not for me.

 

[THE DUCK]

Guess it will be a seperate direct for switch 2. Still expect it this year, probably next month based on the history of the world. (unless switch 2 isn't coming out next March)

 

[ThaMonkeyClaw]

As I said in the other thread, I think I have cracked the code...I am betting they will announce the Switch's successor at the opening or close to the opening of the Nintendo Museum with a release date in Fall/Winter 2024.

(Just my personal speculation)

Thoughts?

 

[InterMusketeer]

If this truly is the last year for the Switch, then this Direct is great. Plenty of games, both old and new, including some more obscure things that the hardcore audience enjoys. Way too much Mario for my taste, but otherwise fine.

But yeah, if they're not keeping their big hitters for a Switch 2 releasing within a year, we're screwed.

 

[Danjin44]

 

[Scotty W]

goddamn Mario RPG looks so good.

Agreed. It is absolutely gorgeous.
