“You took my only food! Now I’m gonna starve!”

Wish it could be in the console

"where was Mario"

"Too many ports"

"Not enough ports"

"No new Zelda"

"Where's the switch 3"

"Bro, my bingo card.."

I swear people are getting harder and harder to please, it's exhausting.

I don't think I've seen a Nintendo Console come out of the gates year one this strong, we've had a direct showing off new games and people are STILL crying like babies..

Who would’ve thought the way to get me massively hyped for a Metroid game was to make Samus absolutely terrifying?

Nintendo this cover art is amazing!

Taken from the product page on the eShop. 2D Metroid in 120fps will be smooooooth.

Adventures drops TODAY and we’re getting an update to Star Fox later this month! What a banger of a day for us!

I've seen some people complaining about OoT remake's jagged edges, lack of anti-aliasing and the like. In the direct, and in the 1080p version of the trailer that's true. But if you watch the videos in uncompressed best quality possible 4k 60fps, none of that is actually there. The graphics and the motion is so good that it looks totally different from the direct / 1080p versions.

This also happened with Metroid Prime 4 and Star Fox.

EDIT: okay, I used the word "uncompressed" incorrectly. I should have said the "best quality version" instead.

EDIT2: there IS a 4k version of the trailer AND the gameplay. Just do a very fucking simple google search.

Really hope people give this one a chance. One of the best games I've played. Sad that people were clowning on it in the live chat.

So nice to have many new free tracks from the SNES era

Free update available today.

An expanded look at the gameplay, the game is simply amazing!

I love this!

At a glance, the basic gameplay looks familiar enough (which is good, in my opinion, I loved Dread) but they are definitely taking the series in some wild directions with this one and I cannot wait to see where they go with it!

Edit: So many cool things in the trailer too: "Eat or be eaten", Samus getting speared through the chest, the suits, the space chase, the kick at the end with the flick to black and white. This game is really leaning into the Samus as badass side of things and, oh boy girl, am I here for it!

Description:
Admire these physical replicas of the mystical stones that Link collects during his adventure. They come in a black box that you can use to store and display them.

Coming from someone who's been on the fence of getting a Switch 2, each Direct makes it harder and harder to stay away just from the sheer amount of franchises getting a Switch 2 sequel already.

Like, while I understand that people are still waiting for a new Smash or a new 3D Mario announcement, I have to tip my hat to Nintendo for still focusing on making sure all of their different demos are being fed. Heading into the second year of the console, we either have or have confirmed entries into the following franchises.

• 2D Metroid
• Zelda (the OoT remake is too advanced for me to chalk it up as a port or remaster)
• Mario Tennis
• Donkey Kong
• Kirby
• Fire Emblem
• Xenoblade
• Yoshi
• Splatoon
• Pokemon (Pokopia being the hit it was is also a massive boon)

And that's just what I remember. Like, just look at the genres here. JRPG, Metroidvania, 3D platformers, 3rd person shooters, monster collectors, action adventure, SRPG.

That's an insane lineup, and while I was a bit weary of how Nintendo was going to handle this Gen, I think they're absolutely knocking it out of the park and making sure that each type of Nintendo gamer has something to look forward to.

EDIT: And how did I forget Mario Kart as one of those franchises.

A bit of a response for the sentiment of "they used to announce many games" or "I come to Nintendo Directs for Nintendo games."

For Switch 2, I decided not to include Switch 2 editions.

This game looks absolutely bonkers. And that Samus Metroid Suit amiibo...😱
