What was the highlight of the recent Direct for you (and why)

[BasilZero]

For me personally it was Yoshi and the Mysterious Book.

I've been a huge fan of the Yoshi series since the SNES and played pretty much all of the games except for one (which that will change likely before this game's release).

Here are the Yoshi games I played and what I scored them.

Yoshi's Island (SNES): 97
Yoshi's Story (N64): 83
Super Mario Advance 3 Yoshi's Island (GBA): 97
Yoshi's Island DS (NDS): 92
Yoshi's New Island (3DS): 87
Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World (3DS): 89
