Definite "yes" on The World Ends with You, Celeste, and Mario Tennis Aces.

"Maybe" on Tropical Freeze, Hyrule Warriors, and Dark Souls. Never played any of them. "Maybe" on Kirby too.

Pretty solid 15 minutes, all told. Still wondering what the big grand slam game(s) of 2018 will be though.

I think Nintendo's "big" thing for 2018 will be their online service.  At the very least they are putting a lot of effort into it, regardless of whether or not it is exactly what we'd want.  I believe they will wait until E3 to reveal it, and they will want to tie it in with an established IP, likely Smash Bros or maybe Animal Crossing depending one which way they go with it.


As for this direct, I am pretty happy with it.  I saw several games that I definitely want to buy: World Ends With You, Dragon Quest Builders and Dark Souls Remastered with maybes on Hyrule Warriors, Y's VIII, and DKCR Tropical Freeze.  Also my daughter really loves Kirby, so I'm sure I'll get that too.  Most Nintendo games do not show nearly as many games that I want to buy.  This was a good one for me.
