I don't think it was awful but I was honestly really surprised that we didn't get any actual new game announcement? I guess maybe Kirby and Xenoblade count but they're basically filler releases. Was really expecting a Paper Mario or Monolith's new IP, oh well, they'll probably reveal them at the next direct.
Also really not looking forward to the overhyping of Monolith's abilities... the character models have seen a great improvement (because they're partially based on Xenoblade 2's versions that already exist) but the environments still look very rough yet people are falling head over heels for it. They've definitely been cleaned up and maybe have better grass but damn they look very HD Wii-ish. If it releases in April or later they'll still have 7 months to make it look a bit nicer but honestly it feels kind of jarring to see those character models on those vistas, the art style ain't even the same really.
Would be funny if this somehow got blamed on BOTW's development again just like when Xenoblade 2 released and had awful performance.
