Starting now! Will the F-Zero rumors be accurate?

F-Zero 99 is pretty funny.

DIDDY KONG FINALLY IN MARIO KART 8!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Paper Mario fans finally get what they've been begging for.

Seems like Nintendo learned to stop giving WarioWare demos, oh well.

Adventures in Game Chasing - a pseudo prequel to the  Game Chasers' Youtube Channel. If you're a fan of their channel you'll definitely enjoy it. I think even if you're not there is enough relatable things I'd say you should at like try to give it a watch. I'd say it's up there as far as independent movies that youtubers make, it's one I would absolutely recommend to people on this site.

I had been meaning to watch this so I just did. It looks pretty nice. Fairly enjoyable but I also already watch Game Chasers as well as the rest of the cast. Not sure people would get much enjoyment out of it if they don't know the cast.

Mike Judge's Beavis & Butt-Head on Paramount+ is so damn good. I hope there's more to come but for now it seems like it may be done to switch focus to King of the Hill.

What major IP's are being held back though? Seems like just 3D Mario. Pretty sure Metroid Prime 4 is still going to release on Switch.

No Hard Feelings is fairly decent R rated comedy even though they kind of gave up on that idea halfway through it was still nice to support an original R rated comedic theatrical release. Looking forward to Strays as well.

Worst direct I have ever watched. Yes, plenty of ports/remasters I am looking forward to, but just about nothing new that is worthwhile. I can only assume Nintendo has transferred all major properties over to the next platform, which I would imagine will be announced before the end of the year

Did you watch the wrong Direct?

Did you?

Yeah, I can understand not liking the titles on display, but to claim that they aren't releasing new titles of popular IPs on the Switch when the direct had both a new Mario and a new Peach game announced and spent a ton of time on Pikmin 4?  Don't get it.

Pikmin 4 wasn't a new announcement. They teased Peach, nothing more. So yes, new 2D Mario. Awesome. What else was *new*?

I don't know what your definition of new is but a lot was new. What should have been there instead? What are they holding back? The only announced game not here is Metroid Prime 4. Zelda and Fire Emblem both had mainline releases this year.

I thought it was decent overall. I was genuinely excited to hear about the Super Mario RPG remake and another 2D Mario game. The Princess Peach game has me interested too despite the few details provided on it. If I were a bigger Pikmin fan I'd have definitely liked this Direct more, but unfortunately the game has never really been my cup of tea. I guess where my disappointment comes from is the lack of things I'd hoped to see including the following personal wishlist:


-New DKC game (sequel to Tropical Freeze)
-New Star Fox game (not a port of an older game)
-Some sort of cool surprise like a new Sin and Punishment or Panzer Dragoon Zwei remake details
-a compilation or separate releases of Ocarina of Time 3D and Majora's Mask 3D on the Switch
-while I've never beat a Metroid game, I still hoped for more details on Prime 4


Because of this and a lack of interesting titles in general this was definitely a 5/10 Direct for me, but I am happy about most of what we did get in terms of reveals.

You might enjoy Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair if you want something similar to Tropical Freeze.

The Japanese version of the Direct had a new game from Good-Feel called Otogi Katsugeki Mameda no Bakeru: Oracle Saitarou no Sainan!! that looks pretty good!
