Nintendo Direct Mini

I was hoping for at least a 30/45 minute presentation

Umming and ahhing over whether to jump on 1-2 Switch since it's on offer, should I go for it or something else like Snipperclips or Overcooked for some multiplayer mishaps?

I'd be very disappointed if the Direct is a Dark Souls Remaster. Zero interest.

It's scary how hyped I am. There are so many theories and so much potential. I'm praying for a Direct today. I feel like the Switch Fire Emblem reveal is a cert at this point, and that's the Switch release I'm most looking forward to this year. I was literally watching a YouTube video where someone was dissecting a tweet with a Mii wearing a HotDog outfit, reading into it some secret meaning to the Direct, at the same time wondering what am I doing with my life, but still content and hyped. :shifty:

The deleted GameSpot tweet really stirred the pot, as if the 'insiders' weren't already, and even Nintendo and third party Twitter accounts. Even the 'mini Direct' talk doesn't temper expectation because Direct's tend to be 40ish minute affairs as standard these days.

N64 mini confirmed.

I just want some Ace Attorney :datass:

Ys... World Ends With You... :shock:

TWEWY??? I'm one of the 15 people in the world who are ecstatic at this news. How was the ipad version? As this'll surely be a port of that.

Hmm, Switch's lineup looking VERY sparse for the first half of this year.

Praise the Sun!

Not had a chance to watch yet, but I've seen the bullet points. Some interesting announcements there.

Definitely going to be picking up Hyrule Warriors, Tropical Freeze, Dark Souls and maybe TWEWY. See how I feel about that one.

Tropical Freeze was the one Wii U port I wanted as I missed it at the time so I'm delighted with that.

Also, I always maintained the Mario Tennis on Switch had a great core but just wasn't fleshed out a lot. If they've taken the engine and refined it with a story mode, that could be a solid entry for the series.

Mario x Rabbids DLC looks like it's going in a promising direction too.

No triple A games but pretty pleased with announcements, still about ten more good games than the Xbox.

Never played TWEWY, Ys, Mario Tennis, DK or Hyrule Warriors but highly interested in all. Maybe even give Dark Souls another try.

Decent interactive list with videos below

Bar Kirby, looks like they're padding the release schedule with Wii U ports and 3rd party titles until the summer.

Understandable they have a first party dry spell after the 2017 they had but at least they've prepared for it and have stuff on offer, even if it's not top tier.

As someone who didn't own a Wii U I'm happy they're porting Tropical Freeze. I'll also probably pick up Hyrule Warriors as I never owned it on 3DS, and wavered a few times. Definitely in for The World Ends With You. Mixed on Ys VIII, I own the PS4 version, but have been waiting for the new localisation patch. So tempted to double dip... Cannot wait for Kirby Star Allies. Glad it's in March. Maybe I should finally give Dark Souls a try. I'm not sure it's for me...

TWEWY I CRY

Time to buy Hyrule Warriors for a third time!

DK Mario rabbids story DLC!

Celeste!

Mario Odyssey multiplayer! Reminds me of Gravity Rush 2's online photo mode a lot.

And a Mario Tennis STORY MODE pleeease be good like the rpgs of old

I am very happy with this B)

Anyone who has not played TWEWY needs to play it, it's the second best RPG ever made (after Skies of Arcadia of course)

Same here. Hyrule Warriors is the one port I really wanted but didn't really expect to come to Switch.

Yeah, your mileage with this Mini Direct is going to depend on how many Wii U games you played. I've had mine in another country since mid-2014, so I'm well chuffed Hyrule Warriors and DK are coming to the Switch. I was going to "eventually" get them on Wiu U, but it's just so much easier (and better) this way.

Whilst I loved Dark Souls, I only played it for the first time last year, so I'll probably leave that. Especially as I have 2 and 3 still to play, and there are rumours they will crop up on Switch eventually.

Mario Tennis I will have high hopes for, having adored the original N64 version, but will likely be disappointed again, as I have been with every iteration since then. Hopefully the RPG mode beefs the game out, as they have always been a little thin.

Fe and Celeste look interesting, so I'll see how they are received.

As it is, there are at least two games in there I want to buy, that I didn't know existed until a few moments ago. Can't really moan at that.

Wii-U was mistake :lol:

Not the greatest Direct, never bought Tropical Freeze so will be picking that up at some point. Probably TWEWY as I never finished that.

Hyrule Warriors released for the third time, still just as bad as the last time it was released. See an Musou game
