Thoughts on the 9/13/22 Nintendo Direct?

Honestly, this direct for me wasn't really exciting. However, I could see why other people would give it like an 8/10 or 9/10 if you're really into RPGs. 

But for me personally, the games shown aren't really games from franchises I care about, I couldn't care less about Fire Emblem or Octopath Traveller 2. Pikmin 4 is cool but im not a huge Pikmin guy either, im more so happy for Pikmin fans who were desperate for something new with the franchise especially since Pikmin 4 was announced back in 2015. I dont care for Kirby deluxe.

I am excited for Zelda TOTK, but honestly I already sort of know what to expect from a sequel to BOTW so I dont really get super hyped even when gameplay is shown, the sky islands look cool but I already know what to expect from the game so it wasn't really super hype for me.

And tbh the farming RPGs did get overshown to high hell in this direct, I get that the Switch is the go to console for games like that since many Animal Crossing like gamers are on it but my God they showed a bit too much.

If you're an RPG guy, im sure this direct was pure heaven for you. However, for me it just didn't appeal to me much. I'm more into Nintendo for franchises like 3D & 2D Mario, Metroid, Zelda, F Zero, Mario Kart, DK, Mario Spinoffs. I wish there was a more new stuff from those franchises especially from 3D & 2D Mario since its now been around 5 years since Mario Odyssey & 10 Years since the last original 2D Mario.

I'll rate this direct around a 6/10 for me, objectively speaking though probably around a 7.

As a massive pikmin fan I agree, I was desperate.  It has been far too long since pikmin 3.
