A solid show, but I wonder if Nintendo will even bother with another full Direct this year or just have dedicated ones now that it's likely we know the big games (Zelda, Splatoon, etc). Plenty to keep me busy for the year (finally get to play Stellar Blade). Xenoblade isn't really my thing, but if it was, I'd be very happy. The Zelda reveal being such a brief tease was the only big disappointment for me (Duskbloods too) but there is a lot of support for the system, especially Capcom and SE. Nice that Switch Sports Resort was actually a new game too. Looks like Nate the Hate called it where it counts.
The biggest takeaway for me though was all of this stuff running at this level on Switch 2. Seeing Kingdom Hears 4 being unveiled felt like I was watching a typical current-gen reveal, not the usual toned-downed hybrid version. It's good enough to make that great first impression now and all of this on the most affordable hardware with all of the biggest exclusives. Looking good for Switch 2 for the foreseeable future. STILL waiting for WWHD, TPHD and Wooly World for Switch 1 though.
If a September Direct does happen, I expect: MHW & REmakes 2-4 announced, a Pikmin 4 upgrade and something with Mario - either MKW DLC and/or 3D Mario revealed (with some gameplay!).
