I thought it was a good Direct. Astral Chain really caught me off guard, the more I see the trailer, the more I get excited for it. Link's Awakening announcement was a real megaton (also, I like the art style). Fire Emblem Three Houses and Daemon X Machina look interesting too. I'd give the Direct a 8/10.

You should look up the sells numbers of those ports and realize, considering people keep buying those Wii U ports. Nintendo is just giving into supply and demand. |
I am quite aware of all those sales numbers. And I even mentioned in my original post that they are a smart decision from a strictly business point of vue.
I could also say that microtransactions and day 1 dlc and staggered launches ala EA Anthem are all smart business decisions.
However, that doesn't make them any less anti-consumer.
Again, it's the thought of how lazy and greedy Nintendo were with every single wiiU ports that pisses me off. How much longer of a development time would it have took to add 3-4 new races to Mario kart 8 deluxe. How much more development time would it have took to add 1 extra world to Donkey kong tropical freeze. How much longer would it have took to develop 1-2 extra worlds in NSMBUD when we LITERALLY saw with Mario maker how easy it is to design stages when you already have all the assets available. The list could go on and on with every single ports.
Anyways, I think I have proven my point in my original post. I won't be derailing this thread further.

Alright, I gathered a list of ALL Nintendo published game released in 2018. Here it is: - Bayonetta 1/2 (Direct port, no meaningful new content, charged full price) -Hyrule warriors (Direct port, 0 effort put into it, 0 new meaningful content, charged full price) -Captain Toad (Direct port, Slight amount of new content put in, Barely any effort put in, Charged same price as the original wiiU release on top of releasing paid DLC instead of it being added to the port in order to add a bit of value, but nope again, Nintendo doesn't give a shit about consumers (New Nintendo I should say) ) - Nintendo labo (First original release, Hurray!) - Mario tennis Ace ( AA release, Mario sports game) - Sushi striker (Never heard of this game, apparently was published by Nintendo) - Fitness boxing (Lol) - Mario party (AA release again) - Super smash ( First brand new AAA release) - Pokémon (Remake, with actual effort put in. Although not developed by Nintendo) - Go vacation (Lol)
Alright, so let's compile the data... For 2018, Nintendo released 3 full priced wiiU ports will little to no effort put into them and 1 remake, 1 AAA game, 2 AA games which are consisted of 1 party game and one Mario sports game, and a slew of shovelware including fitness boxing, go vacation and Labo. Any self-respecting Nintendo consumer would be pissed. You're getting burned and spit in your face for supporting them when they needed your support the most. Sure, 2019 is shaping up for being a much better year. But once again, releasing paid dlc for captain toad and releasing NSMBUD with NO extra levels, NONE! They just don't give 2 flying damns about you or any Nintendo consumer. Just think about how long it would have taken them to even only design an extra 10 or so levels for NSMBUD and then you will realise just how fu**** lazy they were with these ports. And now, they're even being lazy with the dlc. |
Well your 2018 list is incomplete and why are we limiting it to only 2018? Why not also include 2017 games and planned 2019 games? And how is being AA, sports or party game a negative?
Of course the software output is going to look bad when you exclude entire years, genres and games without huge budgets.
All you are doing is acting like your tastes in games is better than others and your opinion is fact with quotes like this:
"Its been sluggish at best for anyone who stuck through thick and thin with Nintendo during the Wii U era."
"Any self-respecting Nintendo consumer would be pissed."
"You're getting burned and spit in the face for supporting them when they needed your support the most."
You're telling me I don't respect myself and I'm getting treated poorly because I'm overall happy with Nintendo's output on Switch? I'm sorry that Nintendo isn't filling your every desire but get over yourself.

Wow, it's like 2013 all over again... when 3DS got Luigi's Mansion, 2D Zelda, Animal Crossing and Pokemon all within the same year...

And Fire Emblem (in the west at least)

| NightlyPoe said: I'll go ahead and give it an 8. Not much for me, but I can see the quality there. Would be a 9 with the inclusion of a 2D Zelda if they hadn't gone for the Link's Awakening remake. Love the art design, but I would have much preferred a new entry in the series. |
I know what you mean. I literally have Link's Awakening 3 times already (GBA, GBC, and 3DS) and this one will probably cost more than all of those combined for what amounts to a new coat of paint.
I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
I give it an 8. The 2019 lineup is looking absolutely stacked from June onward but its lacking a notable April/May game, if Fire Emblem released in one of those months instead of July than I would probably give it a 9.

| Oneeee-Chan!!! said: 9.5 They announced Rune Factory 5.

I also thought Rune Factory 5 announcement was the standout. Now give some footage!
The art style of the 1-4 series, IMO, is a little too childish, but tolerable due to the fantastic gameplay. With this being the Switch, a home console version, it's possible Marvelous will go back to something along the lines of the Rune Factory Frontier style.
Also, I didn't take a good look, but it seems they improved Rune Factory 4's art quite a bit. But the main character still looks like he's 6 =(

Captian Toad was released at $40. I bought it day one. That's how I know. The Wii U version was $60.
You forgot about Tropical Freeze, which helps your case.
You forgot about Torna releasing for $40. It was its own standalone game.
I think 2018 was a decent year for Switch. It wasn't fantastic, but it had five new releases that any self respecting Nintendo fan should be interested in. They were Torna, Octopath, Let's Go, Valkyria Chronicles 4, and Smash.
2019 is off the rails. We're getting...
Dragon Quest Builders 2
Yoshi's Crafted World
Super Mario Maker 2
Fire Emblem Three Houses
Link's Awakening Remake
Astral Chain
Daemon X Machina
Poke'mon 2019
Animal Crossing Switch
Luigi's Mansion 3
Ultimate Alliance 3
That's 11 games. Eleven! All in a single year. And almost every last one of them is exclusive. At this rate Nintendo could come to E3, and say "We're sorry but Animal Crossing, and Poke'mon are being delayed to 2020." People wouldn't care. Why? Because I've been playing videogames since the Atari, and this is the biggest, most stacked, release schedule of exclusives that I have seen in my 34 years on this planet. If this direct did nothing for you check your pulse. The only way it could have been better was Nintendo announcing BotW 2.
