If you take pricing and the pacing/entertainment value of the Direct out of the equation, it would probably be a B.
I can't give it any higher than a C. The Galaxy games, Virtual Boy, and Amiibo are all very overpriced. And the information provided did not need to be paced around 1 hr 6 min. It could've been 45 minutes.
No big first-party games were revealed, not one. That's an issue for a console with a 2026 that was so in the dark. Fire Emblem isn't big. I was expecting Luigi's Mansion 4, Animal Crossing or both. Fire Emblem is not the game to end an over hour long direct on.
Third-party also could've been more engaging.
