Now that I have processed the information properly, the Mario Golf news probably means that the dream of a new Golden Sun game is further away from happening

I"m sad right now.

At least the golf game looks okay. I wouldn't buy it but it looks way better than the Mario Tennis for Wii U, for examples, which was barebones as hell. 

Well yes, Baby steps I guess.

Outer Wilds is secretly the best game of the show.

Other than that Mario Golf and Ghost and Goblins are the only games that look interting to me for H1.

Since it was focused on first half can I make a thread about I'm staring at an abyss where Nintendo will soon celebrate one year without a first party game release? 

I don't think so, cause I'm not sure how that would be accurate. Origami King came out in July, Snap will be April, and Mario Golf in June.

I thought Snap was Third Party

If this momentum can hold into the 2nd half of the year, 2021 will be HUGE. I'm already on board with Bravely Default 2, Monster Hunter Rise, New Pokemon Snap, Mario Golf: Super Rush, and No More Heroes 3.

EDIT: Skyward Sword HD as well.

I REALLY hope that Square doesn"t keep the Triangle Strategy name.

It worked for Octopath Traveler.It won"t for this one.

You are actually correct. It is being developed by Bandai Namco.

Mario Golf is made by Camelot which is a second party.

So, yeah... I guess Nintendo hasn't released any original first party full games in about a year... wow.

I thought this was a very strong Direct. I expected more stuff for games we already know about: Disgaea, Rune Factory, Story of Seasons, Snap... but they actually left them out. Bravely Default was only mentioned quick. Only MonHun got some more time.

Then it also was pretty fast, one game after the other. This meant they covered a lot of ground.

So nothing here really was the mega big game, except Splatoon 3 which is 2022, but the amount of cool announcements really blew my mind. Switch gets a wide variety of games to play in 2021. Adding all we already knew about to this, we already have a lineup of lots of different games.

Personally naturally Triangle Strategy is blowing my mind, but a lot of the stuff here was actually good. With a lineup like this I actually think Switch sales will grow in 2021.

stuff I liked:

  • Triangle strategy obviously
  • AOC DLC
  • the Aspyr Zombie game
  • Legend of Mana
  • Splatoon 3
  • Mario Golf
  • MonHun&Bravely (but we knew this already)
  • Pyra/Mythra
  • Fall Guys
  • Outer Wilds

I wouldn't worry, Triangle Strategy is not a commercial name in any universe. 



My bet with The_Liquid_Laser: I think the Switch won't surpass the PS2 as the best selling system of all time. If it does, I'll play a game of a list that The_Liquid_Laser will provide, I will have to play it for 50 hours or complete it, whatever comes first.

So big highlight for me was Triangle Strategy. Love strategy RPGs and the 2.5D asthetic from Octopath, so this is right in my wheelhouse.

Other notables for me were Famicom Detective Series, Mario Golf: Super Rush and the Ninja Gaiden collection. Monster Hunter was already on my most wanted. Would add No More Heroes 3 but the gameplay for that looked shockingly rough for some reason.
