Tons of games coming!
Lots of RPGs and farming simulator RPGs haha. I think there were four farming games, people into that genre will have plenty to choose from.
Octopath Traveler 2 looks awesome. New Fire Emblem in January.
Pikmin 4! Finally!
Cool to have the new Zelda name and release date. Short trailer but it looks very cool.
GoldenEye announced for Switch Online!!! The biggest game that could possibly be added to the service! Once GoldenEye is out (with online play!) no one can possibly say the NSO Expansion Pack is anything but a great deal!
Overall tons of games and plenty of great looking games coming over the next half year or so.
Two huge disappointments though.
1. No mention of Metroid Prime remake (was really thinking it would be a holiday title)
2. No mention of Zelda WW/TP. Was also hoping we'd get this double pack for the holidays. Makes me wonder if all the rumors about these games coming to Switch have been wrong, since the rumor from like a year ago or something was that they had these games ready if BotW2 got delayed into 2023.
Really starting to wonder if we'll ever get WW/TP and when the heck the Prime remake is going to come out, let alone Prime 2 and 3 remasters, if those are happening, and Prime 4. I assume they'd release the first three Primes before 4 comes out, unless they are skipping 2 and 3. So far all these games are just heavily rumored for a long time with no announcements.
I give it an 7.5/10. What was there was awesome (so many games and lots of good stuff), but the lack of any Metroid announcements and WW/TP announcements, which I thought would be the two big things, bring it down a bit compared to my expectations. Would have been a 10/10 for me if Prime remake and WW/TP had been announced for holidays or early 2023, but still left wondering if these even exist.
How'd you feel about the Direct? What got you most excited? What are you disappointed about?
