I feel like many forget that Directs are meant for Nintendo's core audience. As in those who primarily or exclusively play on Nintendo hardware. They're well aware that a lot of these ports are years old, but not to their core audience. To the core audience, they're still new games.
For me, I primarily play first-party Nintendo games, with the occasional third-party game that I feel suits a Nintendo console best. Such as Mouse PI for Hire, Marvel Cosmic Invasion, Yooka-Replaylee, or the upcoming Toy Story collection.
So as a more passive Nintendo enjoyer, the Direct was a 4/10. But, I can completely understand why those who main Nintendo's consoles, would give the Direct an 8 or 9/10. If anything, Nintendo is continuing to flex that the Switch 2 is just as capable of being a third-party console as it is a first-party console.
I have a good feeling that by this time next year, hardly any third-party games will be missing on Switch 2 at their launch. It's already leaning heavily in that direction. |
I was mainly a Nintendo gamer until I got a PS4 in 2019. I'd love Switch 2's third-party lineup so much more and the reveals if I didn't have a PS4 and PS5. And I really want to play Duskbloods but it's still MIA with a 2026 release date still isted I would not be shocked if it's pushed to Q1/Q2 2027 for more polish. |
Yeah that is strange as this Direct was meant for the remainder of the year and Winter in general, which goes into early 2027. You'd think it would be a lock for Duskbloods to have been present. I wonder if the network test got some crucial info that FromSoft feels needs to be addressed?
Not sure if a dedicated Direct would even be necessary, since many people have already played the game. I wouldn't be surprised either if there's a delay into next year.
