Rate Nintendo's First Direct of 2019!

I rarely go this high for these kinds of digital events, but this one might be the best Direct ever--or at least the best of the Switch era. A big, fat 9/10 for me.

The pacing was great--they covered ~25 games in 35 minutes--and the deeper dives into Dragon Quest and Fire Emblem were impactful. They announced a slew of new games, including Super Mario Maker 2, Rune Factory 5, Oninaki, Astral Chain, and Link's Awakening remake--the latter two looking spectacular. And I'm interested in playing almost everything shown (sorry, Dead by Daylight). Lastly, there was lots and lots of gameplay footage, both for already-announced games and new software.

So, it moved briskly, it surprised us, and it showed gameplay for a bunch of attractive titles. I couldn't really ask for much more. I'm super happy right now :D
