Today's direct was awesome, wish all game showcases were like this.

Yeah, I genuinely don't know how anyone could look at that direct and think it's bad. disappointed? sure, if you don't like anything. I don't figure I'll play anything in that direct aside from Mario Kart, but one glance at it and I'm over here like 'dude, that was so many games.'

the hint that it wasn't gonna have megatons like Zelda information or a new Mario or Donkey Kong game is the whole 'for games coming out in the first half of 2022'. Like, you think they're just going to out and be like 'oh, Metroid Prime 4 is basically done, it'll be out in May'? Like, they could, but hyping yourself up for that in spite of the reality that the chances of that are super low is silly as hell. 

This presentation reminded me just how much Nintendo has on the horizon. I genuinely thought their 2022 looked barren aside from a potential Zelda. I'm wrong, and I'm happy to be wrong. And this looks like an incredibly strong year for the console. And the direct was exactly what it promised and so much more than anyone should have reasonably expected given the clear 'focusing mainly on games in the first half of 2022' part. VERY clear indicator to temper your expectations.
