9/10. I do think it's odd heavily rumoured stuff like Star Fox and Metroid didn't appear, but I can't hold Nintendo to blame for various leaks not being on the ball. The only downside from my perspective is that January through May is quite quiet - but then I have a backlog of games to get through and work is busiest for me in that same time period, so personally a lull is welcome.
Summer looks crammed. Positives for me:
- Fire Emblem: Three Houses sounds interesting
- Daemon X Machina looks very stylish, hope it turns out well, demo available now
- New BoxBoy! It brings me so much joy
- Sudden drop of Super Mario Maker 2 in June
- Dragon Quest XI S has the 2D mode, Japanese voice-track, orchestrated music and is out this year
- New JRPG from Square-Enix to keep an eye on
- FF9 available now
- ASTRAL CHAIN WHAT IS IT I NEED IT
- Link's Awakening: just hook it to my veeiiiinssss
Yeah I'm pretty pleased, all said and done. I've got time to catch up on my backlog and get a few indies and JRPGs out the way, summer is packed, and it looks like we're getting Luigi's Mansion 3, Zelda, Pokemon, and Animal Crossing in the last few months of the year. And this is only the first Direct of the year.
