That was a little underwhelming.

Splatoon Expansion looks cool. Looks to be a Roguelike which is a nice twist for the franchise.

Princess Peach game looks really cool. Oozing charm. Maybe not in the target audience but we'll see.

Wario Ware Smooth Moves was my favorite of the Wario Ware games so very happy to see this one will be using that format. I have always been a waggle fan, and think Nintendo should do more with that feature.

F-Zero 99 is fine. Won't play it though probably. I'm just not invested in playing a game I know will be gone in a while. Hopefully Nintendo will take all of those 99 things they made, put em in a collection, and make them permanent.

Unicorn Commander seems interesting? Seems more like an old school Fire Emblem, and there's a place for that.

For those of you who didn't play Wargroove, it was awesome. If you're an Advance Wars fan, you should play it. Honestly better than Reboot Camp. So, look out for the sequel.

Mario Kart DLC announcement was meh. Was maybe hoping for something bigger for the last wave.

Then... there were remakes. My god were there remakes. Another Code is a game I always was curious about, so I may pick that one up. Mario vs DK is one that just doesn't seem like it needed a remake. I'll probably pass on Luigi's Mansion 2. Love the game, but I actually think it works really well on the small 3D screen. Super Mario RPG definitely warrants the remake treatment, and nice they'll be adding at least a little something. Neat that the triple attacks will encourage you to play around with different teams. Would be cool if you could take Mario out of the party this time.

TTYD Remake is something I would have been excited for... But the timing is off. They just announced a remake of a beloved RPG game with Mario so it's harder to get excited with this one. What really made me excited about the Mario RPG announcement was the potential for a sequel. And this... confused me. With the Mario and Luigi series seemingly dead for a while, they can release a different classical style Mario RPG game. Looked like they would be bringing back Mario RPG... but now maybe they'll do Paper Mario? Or continue both? Either way, feels like they maybe should have spaced these games out.

This definitely feels like a system that's kind of on its way out. But at least it looks like a smoother transition than in the past. There will be at least a game a month or so to keep people interested, even if a lot of them are remakes. But, definitely feels like they're holding back.
