It was solid.  Pokemon and Zelda were the stars, obviously, and they served well.  Pokemon looked great and Zelda was really amazing honestly.  They had a few opening hicups but once they got into a groove it was overall smooth sailing.  The supporting games were mostly solid stuff.  Tokyo Mirage Sessions, Dragon Quest VII, Rhythme Heaven, all the games did their job (except PM which remains highly divisive).  Ever Oasis looks pretty good and further expands the coming RPG offerings for the 3DS. 

It was long, but as a result I could just put it on like a podcast and only give it my full attention when something grabbed my attention. 

Rhythm Heaven was a pleasant surprise and the fact it launched immediately was quite a shock and nice way to close things out. 

Overally, I think with the addition of some Dragon Quest VIII and XI footage and an indie sizzle reel, they could have had a Direct that was pretty good.  But in the absence of such, this served pretty well.  And the fact they constantly posted trailers and sliced up bits of the streams so you could consume it at your leisure helped a TON.  A solid B from me.
