9.5/10
This isn't E3, you shouldn't have been expecting anything more than 1 major announcement, to be fair Nintendo Directs shouldn't have any new announcements to begin with. Nintendo Directs are supposed to serve as the platform for updating the community on games coming to Nintendo's platforms, and that's exactly what it did.
- New info on upcoming games? Check. (Odyssey, Fire Emblem Warriors, Kirby, Xenoblade, Skyrim, etc.)
- Release Dates for Titles launching in 2017? Check. (Xenoblade, Skyrim, etc.)
- New gameplay for existing titles? Check. (Fire Emblem, Odyssey, Xenoblade, Kirby, etc.)
- New gameplay for NEW titles? Check. (Mario Party, DOOM, 3DS kirby game, etc.)
- Announcing new titles to get excited for? Check. (DOOM, Wolfenstein 2, Arena of Valor, Mario Party 100, Octopath, etc.)
This direct was stellar, it did everything it had to do and more. We got the updates on the titles we knew about, but didn't know everything about. That alone is what a Direct should be. The fact that we got information on new titles blew this out of the park, it was comparable to this years E3 for Nintendo, if only a bit less. I am extremely satisfied with it which is why I would give this a 9.5/10.
