True, but I think Nintendo is aware. Maybe thats why they didnt announce them in this Direct.

Yup, I thought this was another incredible dumb decision by Nintendo, but with that subtitle it makes sense to make the Direct a bit more low-key in the UK. But the delay of Advance Wars still waits for its justification to this day. There's always war somewhere in this world, so making a sudden exception because of Ukraine never sat well with me. Nevermind that Advance Wars does not use realistic graphics nor is it based on any real world scenarios, so who in their right mind would have had an issue with its original release date? Ironically, Triangle Strategy did not get delayed despite its story of a war-hungry country setting up fishy reasoning to invade another country while the player takes on the roles of the portion of the invaded country that features a flag with the colors blue and yellow. |
Nintendo still doesn't want to provide any additional information other than "it's delayed"
I asked Nintendo if Advance Wars 1 + 2 has been cancelled, given the lack of news about it since it was delayed due to the invasion of Ukraine.

Nintendo rep's reply: "The release has been delayed. We will announce the new date once it has been determined."

You have to remember that Nintendo is so fanboyish over Pikmin that in this Direct they spent more than one minute on explaining the mobile game Pikmin Bloom. How many of their other mobile games did get so much time in a Direct? Honest question. |
Miyamoto specifically. He is particularly fond of Pikmin and won't let it die before he's dead. I expect Pikmin 4 to grow in sales from Pikmin 3 Deluxe and reach 3mil. Every game that makes profit and diversifies the line up is worth it.
The absence of a potential WWHD and TPHD port, or a Metroid Prime Trilogy port for that matter, were not surprising if you asked me.

They wouldn't cancel a finished game.

I thought they only finished Star Fox 2 recently when they wanted to bring it to NSO.
Either way those are very old examples. That was a long time ago.
I was browsing on Fire Emblem subreddit and reception to character design is very negative (not mixed, neither polarized but actually negative)
I'm inclined to agree with them. The character look far too much anime-ish. Female characters seemed to be all created with a Waifu-generator. There is a lot of weebs-pandering with this game, I hope it's not too jarring to a point that make me distracted from the game.
I do feel a bit monkey pawed; the thing I wanted most was a new Fire Emblem game but I really wasn't impressed with what they showed. At least my expectations are set low, so it leaves room to be pleasantly surprised after actually playing it.
I do think RPG fans at least should be happy with the lineup. I enjoy them as well but it is often to much of a commitment for me to even start them. Octopath traveler has always looked like a game I would enjoy, but since I have not played it it is hard to get hyped for it.
I'm glad It takes two is coming to the switch as well. That game is fantastic to play with your significant other even if they are not big on gaming. But it did look rugged compared to the version I played on Playstation.
After some thought I give this Direct a pass from my initial feeling of it as a total downer.
