In defense of the today’s Direct…

This one wasn't for me, not into fire emblem. I am into metroid but that anticipation has been milked for how many years now?

I'm also into Mario Galaxy, but at 40 dollars per minimum-possible-effort-port, crazy!

For 40 dollars we got a full remake level remaster of metroid prime, they're now going in at that same price point but with precisely none of the effort on their side!? Honestly, I'd like to hear anyone give a defence of that. Just pure greed.

Any time a company has a successful period enshitification is almost always sure to follow & it's seemingly no different for Nintendo. Just torching hard earned goodwill from fans for a buck. I don't even see the business case here, surely that price point is gonna turn off most potential buyers...?

I thought the overall presentation was quite sloppy as well tbh. They'd show game clips with narration then switch back to the Nintendo execs who'd then just repeat the same thing and show the same clips, eh?

Finally, not really into the yoshi game aesthetic. I think they could have leveraged S2 to really push a wooly world style or go high detail claymation. The painterly style just looks less fun/cute. Missed opportunity imo but appreciate that's a taste thing.

P. S. Do we really need another kirby air ride direct?

The fact that they didn't remake the Galaxy games or at least remake the graphics when a movie is coming out and Galaxy 3 is heavily likely now is baffling. The 2 Galaxy games are masterpieces and in my Top 4 games but the price is high for what you get relative to the small cost these are for Nintendo. The HD/4K ports of these probably cost a few million USD at best.
