It was a pretty good direct. People that expected a bunch of AAA announcements were going to leave disappointed since the beginning. This kind of directs are only to hype previously announced games before the holiday season, and throw in a couple new announcements for the beginning of the following year. It always have been like that.
Now if the argument is "but I don't like Metroid, nor Mario, nor Resident Evil, nor Dragon Quest, nor RPGs, nor Fire Emblem, nor Pokemon.. (now a very long list of other games shown)" now I can see why you didn't liked the direct.
