Leaving this open for more options. Please let me know if there's another game you'd like me to add. I kept the remakes and remasters to a minimum so I'll add any in if you want. There are 3 more options available if you would like me to add anything. :)

Lowkey but that No Sleep for Kaname Date (Ai the Somnium Files) kinda sent me on the floor with how unexpected that was !



Switch Friend Code : 3905-6122-2909 

Saga Fronter 2 remaster and Story of Seasons Grand Bazaar for me.



I'm most hyped for Metroid Prime 4 in general but that trailer sucked. The biggest and most hyped trailer for me was Marvel Cosmic Invasions. Anything Dotemu do for me is gold and this looks to be no less.

Rhythm Heaven Groove. Just really happy to see that the franchise is still alive.

It was effectively dead or at the very least very dormant. Megamix released in 2015 in Japan and 2016 in the rest of the world.

Keep in mind, Rhythm Heaven started in 2006 with a Japan-only title for GBA. The series went away for almost as long as it was alive.

I will play Rhythm Heaven but I'm even more excited for Tomodachi. 

I've never played either IP, but they look really cool. 



Lifetime Sales Predictions 

Switch: 161 million (was 73 million, then 96 million, then 113 million, then 125 million, then 144 million, then 151 million, then 156 million)

PS4: 120 mil (was 100 then 130 million, then 122 million) Xbox One: 51 mil (was 50 then 55 mil)

3DS: 75.5 mil (was 73, then 77 million)

I thought they were all kind of bland, sub-par. Not saying the games were bad, but rather that this Direct and its trailers didn’t sell me on anything outside of Nintendo Today - which isn’t on this poll.

The Video Game Card was either irrelevant news or bad news - a gimmick that has less functionality than the current system. Irrelevant if they keep the current system, and taking away functionality and usability if it is replacing the current system since simultaneous play will no longer be supported.

On the bright side, the Switch 2 Direct is almost here. I have high hopes for that one. But I hope they improve Directs, I haven’t really cared about one since the Animal Crossing Direct, years ago. Nintendo’s YouTube channel dropped a significantly more interesting video, featuring Xenoblade Chronicles X (6+ minutes) than everything on that last Direct combined.
