I can't watch right now but if so that's the most exciting announcement from Nintendo in years for me. I wonder who is developing it as I believe the previous developers went out of business
Nintendo Switch #5

Comes out this November I believe so it won't be too long before you can give it a play.
Looked like it should be fun and have a similar gameplay flow to the older games.

Oh shit, new 2D Zelda game with a playable Zelda?
**** yes.
Basically sorceress Zelda with more open world emphasis and built around indirect combat? I'm down.

And I know why they didn't do it, but wish they named it the Legend of Link: Echoes of Wisdom instead.

Absolute banger of a Nintendo Direct. Here is hoping that all of those will be playable on Switch 2 as I literally just sold my Switch a couple of months ago

Alright, a lot more than I was expecting.
Echoes of Wisdom and Mario & Luigi Brotherhood are musts for me.
Mio looked interesting. Might get on sale.
Donkey Kong Country Returns depends on the price.
I might get Dragon Quest I & II solely for my childhood nostalgia for Dragon Warrior.
I own Luigi's Mansion 3 but haven't played it yet. Should give it a go before spending more money on 2.
I used to love Mario Party, but my son wasn't into it so I doubt I'll get Jamboree unless he changes his mind.
Strays might be an on sale buy for me.
Metroid Prime 4 looks pretty. Haven't played the series yet at all, though.

LM 3 was my first foray into the series, and I found it quite enjoyable, definitely worth a playthrough

I bet Prime 4 is cross gen and has some kind of multi-player mode

You thrust your pelvis, huh!
Not a bad direct. A lot of lulls but that's to be expected when the system is in its final year. I'm not a Prime guy but happy for those who are.

Really not vibing with the Mario & Luigi art style. Maybe I just need to let it marinate a bit.

Yeah I took a look at the trailer, overworld stuff looks fantastic but I'm more mixed on the combat. Some shots look great, others give off a Unity fan game vibe to me. Need to see more but I'm excited to see a new entry in what I thought was a dead series.

Even if it's a 7/10 level game it will be a win in my book. I'm mostly just happy to see this series making a comeback.
Tbh this really looks like a 3DS game, I know its been like years and years since they shut down AlphaDream but I'd bet this was the game they were working on. I think Nintendo re-hired most of the staff after closing them.
I could be wrong though.
Fantasian looks amazing. Glad Nintendo got it off Apple Arcade.
I know this is controversial but I like Donkey Kong Country Returns way better than Tropical Freeze. Excited to play it without motion controls.

You're right, it does weirdly look like a 3DS game. Something is off with Mario and Luigi's models though I appreciate that they brought back the black outline around the characters. I also find it strange that it runs at 30 FPS when it's pretty clear that there isn't much going on graphically or CPU wise especially during battles.

You think so? I thought that it was pretty much 88% JRPGs, 8% 10-year-old games, and 4% real shit.Absolute banger of a Nintendo Direct. Here is hoping that all of those will be playable on Switch 2 as I literally just sold my Switch a couple of months ago
Echoes of Wisdom looks bloody fantastic though, not going to lie. The Metroid 4 trailer had to be one of the most anticlimactic ones I've seen for a AAA title. They should've gone the Halo 3 announcement trailer route but decided to hit us with a "look at Samus, now look at 10 seconds of action" rubbish. Awful stuff from Nintendo to try and build hype there.
