I would give it an 8 because much of what shown (mostly ports) are things that I have wanted on Switch and will buy and indeed there are good deal of other ports that I do want (although with the exception of a Smash 4 3DS + Wii U port for Switch, should they not have a totally new Smash game for release this year, and GTA V should that ever come to the system, I would much rather they save other Wii U ports to Switch along with things like VC and remakes/old ports from other systems to 2019). Overall for something that mostly covers spring and a tad bit of summer it was pretty solid. With that being said though, we need new games as well, and that was largely missing in this Mini Direct (along with release dates and info for some previously announced 2018 content like Fire Emblem, Yoshi, and Project Octopath). Thus, I hope we get a Spring Direct (or I guess the latest would be E3, though I don't think they should wait that long and I think they should leave more room in E3 for 2019) to rectify that issue. If there is no major new content (system sellers like 2D Mario, Animal Crossing, ideally a new Smash, or some other major system selling or general surprises that makes people happy, then it would not really be a good year).
