| Dravenet7 said: All around it did what I wanted it to do. Overall a solid 7. Highlight was Xenoblade II and Bethesda's games. It would easily be a 10 because of Xenoblade 2's release date, but I don't really rate based on my hyped levels. Might have to get the Xenoblade controller. And the special edition. On top of the Switch and 10-14 games Damn Nintendo really wants my money. But yeah definitely a 7. I don't think it needed to do much more, personally. |
That's my thinking too, though I gave the direct an 8 but its close enough. :P
Its a direct in the middle of September and it said that it was going to focus mostly on 3DS and Switch games/updates coming within the next few months. If you're expecting footage of FE Switch, Metroid Prime 4, Pokemon Switch, etc., then you're being unreasonable. Nintendo wanted to focus on what's coming mainly for the rest of the year. The more likely reason Octopath Traveler got more focus was because it has been a while since the January presentation that we even heard of anything about that game and Square was ready to show more, including provide a demo after the direct. Sure, there have been surprises before and updates on games beyond the scope Nintendo tends to focus on, but they usually are unexpected and such. They'll show more when they believe the upcoming projects are ready to be shown more. Could they have announced Animal Crossing or Smash Bros.? Maybe, but who knows if they really are developing projects for those series at this time or how far along the projects are to be announced. They'll eventually talk about it when they're ready.
What we got, ultimately, is pretty good stuff. A variety of content that we can look forward to in the known future.
