Recap of the biggest hits from today's direct:
Dragon Quest 1 & 2 HD2D comes out this year for sure(DQIIIHD2D was massive in Japan, expect the same here)

Story of Seasons(Animal Crossing but good) Returns! If you like Animal Crossing(what is wrong with you) check this out!

Metroid Prime 4 trailer(New planet, Samus now has Psychic abilities(including what is basically Ultra Hand from TOTK+ new suit)) comes out some time this year. Also the wording suggests that it's not between Metroid 1 & 2 anymore and instead takes place post-Dread, a first for the Prime series.(the reason the Prime games were so separate from 2D was because of the shoehorned nature, now we might actually start getting references, bosses & callbacks between the two series)
The weird Pac-Man game looks like Hollow Knight ngl

Pokemon Z-A news, Lumiose City & Trainer Battle remix, Unova Monkeys confirmed back, special trainer battles at night with a city-wide tournament , still no new megas.

Rhythm Heaven returns with Rhythm Heaven Groove!!! Next year, which confirms atleast 1 more year of Switch 1 support.

A very roundabout way of explaining how you'll be able to play Digital games on your Switch 2 has also been included(more on that later)

SaGa Frontier 2R launches today on Switch(I guess this is what that Grubb guy meant about a big 3rd party launch...cool. I've never played this series to be completely honest, time to change that)

The Sony Golf Game. Which is...interesting, that has some...implications about next gen.

Brand new Marvel Beat-em-up, looks very pretty.(I think it's the Shredder's Revenge devs so it'll be good, no doubt about that if so)

And some other game in a series that I fucking hate & was absolutely not worthy of it's spot at the end of the direct that is thankfully coming out next year.

I hope the 3DS kids are happy, and I hope I never have to hear about these fugly Miis again.

Iwata reference for the final Switch Direct. o7

Also an official Nintendo News app called Nintendo Today.(it's like a calendar, Miyamoto said) Directs aren't over, there's just another way to stay in the know so that people don't have to be skipping work to watch the direct, which is really good actually, releasing after the Switch 2 direct.

A new Rhythm Heaven game? Sounds good enough to me! I didn't have a 3DS when the last Rhythm Heaven game came out, but it sounded like an interesting idea and I wanted to try the game. Now they finally have one for the switch!

Speaking of the Switch 2, only 6 more days until the direct for that.

Slight updates(a bit more analysis heavy stuff later)

Marvel Beat-em-up is Shredder's Revenge devs, instant cop from me.

Prime 4 official tweet seems to suggest that Samus' main goal this time might actually just be to get back home. She'll probably get involved in some crazy stuff, but it might not be her motivation at the start.

The Metroid fans are currently tearing the Beyond trailer to shreds, I've already seen people looking at the new Samus suit & predicting Dark Samus to be playable. I'll let them cook for a bit.

Virtual Cards is similar to how you used to rent games for a couple of weeks before returning them. Potentially a bit nostalgic for people from the 90s.

Playstation haven't made a post about Everybody's Golf yet. They did the Not-Really-Pac-Man game first. There is still plenty of time for it, of course, but if it's Switch exclusive then...wow. Things might be happening over at Sony.


The Nintendo app is out today, I dunno what I was smoking.

Yes! Very much okay. I may have overreacted about TomoDatchi Death but I apologize.

And also Animal Crossing gets mogged by SoS and I will die on that hill, especially since New Horizons was so disappointing.

Ok, but at least Happy Home Paradise exists and the 2.0 update added the rest of the things that were going to be in the original ACNH, but no, because the animal crossing community literally begged nintendo to release new horizons early (can you really blame them? in a global pandemic where you cant do anything and are indoors, you really do need something to distract you)

I mean, aside from New Leaf the other games were also pretty mid. Maybe I've just outgrown their style to be fair.

Just realized that Prime 4 can't be post Dread because it has the pre-Fusion suit. Still, I doubt it's still between Metroid 1 & 2.

Quick review

9/10. If retros weren't back this'd be the best direct ever. The ones they brought back look really different, so I'm hopeful, but I really didn't want any. That said, good ass direct! Very excited for the Treehouses tomorrow & Friday & the Mario Kart direct on the 17th. Time to bing reactions!

Nintendo Switch 2 Direct Overview
(I deleted the other posts so it's less redundant)
Console specifications

The Switch 2 will be releasing on June 5th(price point not mentioned)

It will support up to 120fps(on select games) as well as 4K & HDR.

The C Button is for GameChat, & it's pretty much Zoom but in game(you can play different games at the same time)
I imagine that it'll work with anyone in your online game(except for team games, so that you can't just watch your opponents in something like Splatoon) or your friend's list.

Switch 2 Pro Controller gets 2 new buttons(GL & GR) on the interior of the  back of the grips.

Some Switch 1 games will get enhancements, similar to what Sony does for it's games(cost of upgrading from your Switch 1 versions still unknown(if it's anything like Sony, you'll only have to pay $10)

Zelda BotW & TotK(also get some other cool stuff like Autobuild sharing(TotK) & Zelda Google Maps through a Switch App game specific function)
Mario Party Jamboree(gets new modes)
Kirby & The Forgotten Land(gets a new Story expansion which...more on that later)
Metroid Prime 4: Beyond & Pokemon Legends Z-A get enhanced as well(Prime 4 supports the new Mouse controls)
The major 3D Party games already confirmed to have Switch 2 support:

ELDEN RING
HADES II
Street Fighter 6
Daemon X Machina 2
Split Fiction
EA Sports & Madden
Hogwarts Legacy
Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3+4
HITMAN(I wasn't paying much attention to which one)
A brand new 007 game
Bravely Default FF Remastered
Yakuza 0
Deltarune Chapter 3(& 4). That's why it took so long.
Borderlands 4
Civ VII Enhanced(was already on Switch 1)
WWE/NBA 2K
CYBERPUNK 2077(the fixed version)
FFVIIR Integrade(aka, Part 1 of the trilogy. No mention of Rebirth, but it'll probably be here soon)
Hollow Knight Silksong(confirmed for this year)
Star Wars Outlaws
The DuskBloods: Brand new FromSoft game(I don't play souls games but it still looks cool)

First party games confirmed(all this year)

Switch 2 Welcome Tour(pretty much a game about the Switch 2 console itself(a very Nintendo way to talk about specs)

DragXDrive: A new IP built around the Mouse controls(like how ARMS was built around the Joycons)
It's Rocket Leage but Basketball. Good music.

Hyrule Warriors(3): Imprisoning War(on Zelda's time in the past before Link wakes up in TotK)
Kirby Air Riders: Kirby Air Ride 2, the first Kirby game with Sakurai's involvement since Kirby Air Ride 1.
Professor Layton: Way 2 Long of a Name confirmed for later this year.
Donkey Kong Bananza: A brand new 3D Donkey Kong featuring the DK redesign leaked in the first Switch 2 trailer(and also, nothing else ever seen in the DK trilogy besides the Barrels). No Diddy, no nothing. The particle effects & graphics give me Astro Bot vibes, very much looking forward to it. Coming out in July.

And lastly, the headliner: Mario Kart World!

A brand new, non-numbered, Mario Kart entry, coming out on launch day. Several things have changed, and it'll need it's own post to cover, so stay posted!

(Also this will also be posted on SFA becuz people are there more)

Switch 2 price confirmed to be $450 USD
Japan gets it for around $334 USD, and Japan only(their currency has been struggling)
Thanks to Mario Kart, we now know the prices for Switch 2 games.
The extra massive releases will be $80 USD, & normal releases will be $70 USD.
