It was a fine Direct, some extra new stuff we now know is coming like Pikmin 4 and Fire Emblem Engage and new info on Tears of the Kingdom, namely the title itself and an actual release date. Surprised to see Octopath Traveler get a sequel which is a pleasant kind of surprise. Ignoring the joke about the amount of farming sims and RPGs, a critique which we already know about, we didn't need that much time spent on a demo of the Pikmin Bloom mobile game, which has been out since the end of last year.
People being pissy about the Zelda and Metroid HD remasters not being shown off, hasn't anyone learned by now to not hype themselves so much over rumours and reports from "industry insiders" over something that was never promised or guaranteed? It's been over five years since the whole Pokemon Stars debacle that everyone believed in and still no one has learned.
I was sad at the end when the release date for Tears of the Kingdom was revealed, not because it's some way out, but it's because it's near to what would've been my gran's 100th birthday (she passed earlier this year and was really looking forward to the sequel, having enjoyed watching me play through Breath of the Wild from start to finish).
