For a mini, I'll give it an 8.5.

I'm surprised you scored it so high Platters. I was expecting more a 7 or even 6 from you.

I thought this was alright, even for a mini. Some nice things here and there. I want to get excited for Mario Tennis Aces, but after the Wii U one, I'm cautious about this one. A 6 from me.

Wii U Ports (I already have DK TF and Hyrule Warrios on Wii U), some indies, Pokken dlc, SNK Waifus, Payday 2..

Mario Tennis Ace seems surprisingly good, Kirby and Odyssey Free Dlc looks ok to me.

TWEWY, YS VIII and Souls 1 Remaster save the day to me, day one for them.

7/10

Pretty good for what it was.  Dark Souls Remastered and Ys VIII were nice surprises (go buy Ys when it comes out!  Sleeper hit of 2017!)

Considering we're just 2 weeks into the new year and we've already got some of the B-level stuff like ports of Wii U titles and new Kirby / Mario Tennis out of the way early, that clears the way for a major Direct in the spring, probably around the launch anniversary, to showcase some of what we can expect in the 2nd half of '18 and beyond for the Switch.

6/10.
Pretty decent. TWEWY, Dark Souls, and Donkey Kong were highlights for me. Everything else was pretty standard.

The first good-looking Mario Tennis in 14 years , Kriby Star Allies, and some cool stuff from third parties made this a pretty solid mini direct imo. I'd give it an 8/10.

I thought it was ok. Sold it though. Maybe Ill double dip. I kinda want to play it some more.

Must have been a specific game announcement
