Rate today's first Nintendo Direct in a long time- Was good, not great- New name incoming....Amiibo Direct! .

[midrange]

I went with 6.

The good:
-pokemon red, blue, and yellow for emulation
-new smash character and stage (was hoping for snake, but cloud is a great addition)
-amazing 3ds support coming up (FF: Explorers, Fire emblem fates, bravely second, paper mario/mario and luigi, project x zone, hyrule warriors)
-splatoon free dlc looks solid
-twilight princess hd (known, but still nice to see)
-Zelda U footage
-pokken tournament wii u (known but still nice to see)

the bad:
-Amiibo, DLC, amiibo, amiibo, dlc, free to start, free to start, amiibo, dlc, amiibo (too much content is being locked behind amiibo and dlc, there presentation was killed by all the pricey "extra" their offering/excluding)
-Zelda U footage did not show gameplay, or a dungeon, or anything really. Very similar to last year's game footage
-Starfox still looks horrendous
-Animal crossing still locks content behind amiibo/cards despite being a $60 game
-twilight princess was the tantulus port (rip third party port)
-Wii U future support still looks horrendous (3ds support seems solid)
-no new significant game has been announced (no minecraft, no new ip, no major sequel, just small indies)
