Well that was a weak Direct. The one thing I was looking forward to, Persona 3, is Switch 2 only. Meh.

It was a pretty meh Direct in comparison to the previous one and other Partner ones - aside from MHS3, Octopath 0 and Millenium tales

Anyways, some obvious ports but not as much new stuff I would have expected.


I want and hope Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition and Devil May Cry 5 Special Edition comes to Switch 2 eventually. DmC Devil May Cry....whether it comes out or not doesnt matter to me lol

Such a nothing direct.

The japanese Direct had a lot more (and left out most of the EA and Ubi stuff). Pritto Prisoner looks like a fun concept.

EDIT: Also a real nice looking farming game with... ghosts? Couldn't get the name as it was fully japanese, but it is from NIS. Also Momotaru Dentetsu 2.

This was probably ok for normal Partner Showcase standards but man I was expecting more for the first Switch 2 one so that was pretty weak. PvZ: Replanted being real was nice to see though. Hopefully the general direct in the first half of September ends up being a lot better.

It was an okay Partner showcase. The main games that interest me are Pac-man, Katamari, Persona, and Dragon Ball.

*yawn

Can't really understand this stance. This direct had two completely new HD2D games that are looking great, Final Fantasy Tactics and a new Monster Hunter Stories. This was pretty good in my books. Bogged down by EA and Ubisoft though, these were really yawn-inducing.
