Don't deserve it's own thread:

Nintendo stock down almost 7% after the E3 showcase. Many analysts are doubting if Nintendo can achieve hardware and software sell in targets for Switch after the 2018 lineup was revealed. A lot riding on Smash and Pokemon this year.

Only now i saw the Nintendo Direct.


My expectations before: no 2019 games; an incoming letdown.
What i got:
Two 2019 games. Don't really know why they show 2 and not more, seeing as they said NO 2019 games. If you are going to break your rule, at least don't be shy about it.
17 minutes of non Smash talk. If you really love Smash you probably were in heaven - i didn't even watch because i don't care about the game.
Nintendo gives games like Hollow Knight and Overcooked, spotlight, and then says "oh, right, here's FIFA 19 and Dragon Ball Z"? Really? I mean, really? Why?

At first i was beggining to feel like the presentation was going to be better than i anticipated. Didn't take long for that feeling to go away…

Don't really understand how they can mismanage their time like this. Fifa 19 and Dragon Ball Z should have been given more time. Oh, i forgot about Deom's Souls - or whatever the name of the game.

Another year and no big, relevant, 3rd party game except for Fifa 19. Nothing to worry about.

What 2 games were 2019?

Fire Emblem was one I know, and I assume they showed that because they had been touting it as 2018 for so long they need to show it was still being made. If they didn't show it and said it was coming 2019, people would be pissed.

The way I took the Smash part was, the prior E3's were like 25 minutes, this was 45 minutes. Take out the 25 minutes of smash and replace it with a 5 minute smash section and you have a typical E3 for Nintendo. So this was sort of a E3/Smash Direct combined.

As for the Dragonball FighterZ and others montage that went by too fast, I sort of agree. I would have like those games ot get say a 30 second trailer each, but they were also not any surprises. Dragonball was leaked earlier and we knew it was coming due to the other games on that list either getting some spotlight or confirmed earlier in week. Or else the other games like Starlight, fifa was in other conferences.

The second was Deamon X Machina, a new Ip from Marvelous, being developed by some of the staff that worked on the Armored Core series.

Well, aside from Smash it looks like this is gonna be a pretty weak year for Switch (Let's Go isn't doing much for me). That said, 2019 is shaping up to be pretty amazing at this point:

Metroid Prime 4
Pokemon Gen 8
Fire Emblem: The Three Houses
Bayonetta 3
Yoshi

Likely:
Animal Crossing
Retro's game
Pikmin 4



Fire Emblem was my highlight, and I am excited to play Smash with all the characters.



Grim Fandango and The Broken Age are comming for the Switch in the comming months.

Grim Fandango is a great addition to the Switch library. If you haven't played it, get it! It's a classic!



I wonder if Nintendo will do a bundle with fortnite. It would be smart going into the holiday .
