I should've figured that the reason this direct is so long is cause they tacked the Mario anniversary stuff onto it. It had a slow start and there were no megaton first party announcements but there was a nice amount of small to medium things resulting in the Switch 2 having a stacked Spring 2026.

Seems I liked this one more than most people but overall it wasn't a strong first mainline direct for the Switch 2 and was only about decent. The 25 minute E3 2017 direct was notably more impactful than this due to the Mario Odyssey trailer being a 10/10 so if an hour long direct means mostly fluff then I'm not getting excited over the length any more.
