Fire Emblem Engage was like... 2 years ago?

And most disappointing and forgettable Fire Emblem game I've ever played. I never want to see Alear or that setting again. Fire Emblem: Fortune's Wave takes place in Fodlan so I'm curious to see what ties to Three Houses it has.

Shameful presentation, pure greed.

Every company trying to shamelessly take as much money as possible.

Are you being sarcastic or something?

Did you pay for the DLC before quoting?

I guess I should be happy with my Legends ZA pre order getting paid DLC announced before it's even released, I also would certainly be thrilled if I was playing Donkey Kong Bananza at launch and it didn't take 2 months for paid DLC to hit me as well.

Certainly happy to have content taken away from the game I just paid for so it could immediatly be sold to me as a plus.

Some of the games shown just took away the little excitement I had for them. Hyrule Warriors with throwing fans around and whatever that shit was. The paid DLC for Pokemon Legends. 70 dollars for two Wii games. The fucking bike in Metroid Prime 4(still excited for that game though)

I also hate these "Switch 2 Edition" releases with minmal new content.

I hope the Bananza DLC isn't something like $30. I just beat the game and another 30  just to go back to it would be really lame. It's almost as if Nintendo is starting to give some of their devs instructions to make DLC for a game shortly after it comesout. Sometimes this works out really well like for BotW or Torna. But new DLC a few months after launch? Really?

I guess this will help Nintendo get a handle on stock. Remember their FY forecast seemed really low, but they truly didn't have any big guns ready. Now it all makes sense. I wouldn't expect any big announcement until May next year.

I truly do not understand people’s expectations sometimes, here is the first party lineup along with some of the bigger 3rd parties franchises for the current fiscal year:

June 5-Mario Kart World

June 5-Cyberpunk 2077

June 5-Hogwarts Legacy

June 5-Civilization 7

June 5-Sonic X Shadow Generations

June 5-Street Fighter 6

July 11-Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3+4

July 17-Donkey Kong Bananza

July 23-WWE 2K26

July 24-Super Mario Party Jamboree+Jamboree TV

August 5-Apex Legends

August 14-Madden NFL 26

August 28-Kirby & the Forgotten World+Star Crossed World

September 4-Star Wars Outlaws

September 5-NBA 2K26

September 5-Daemon X Machina

September 26-EA Sports FC 26

October 2-Super Mario Galaxy 1+2

October 3-Borderlands 4

October 10-Little Nightmares III

October 14-Just Dance 26

October 16-Pokemon Legends Z-A

October 23-Persona 3 Reloaded

October 30-Dragon Quest 1+2 HD-2D Remake

November 6-Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment

November 12-Yakuza Kiwami 1/2

November 14-Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero

November 20-Kirby Air Riders

December 4-Octopath Traveler 0

December 4-Metroid Prime 4: Beyond

2025-Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition

2025-Sonic Racing Crossworlds

January 22-Dynasty Warriors: Origins

January 22-Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade

February 5-Dragon Quest VII Reimagined

February 12-Mario Tennis Fever

February 27-Resident Evil 7/Village/Requiem

March 13-Monster Hunter Stories 3

March 27-007 First Light

Spring 2026-Yoshi and the Mysterious Book (Crafted World was March so I’m guessing this is)

I just don’t get how someone looks at that lineup and is like, “yeah, that’s a soft release schedule”



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

I think the Hyrule Warriors game looks pretty cool actually, even as it has been ages since I've last played a musou game.

Metroid 4 looks very bland to me, but I'm just uninterested, dunno how I would feel if I was a diehard fan.

But the show had a very greedy feeling all over it, I was honestly baffled by it, and I'm one to expect Nintendo to be greedy to begin with, but it honestly reminded me of EA and Capcom during the PS3 gen... yikes.

Ah, ok. I thought you were talking about something more unusual than DLC timing

The DLC couldn't be made after the game was out and is getting released before the game turns 2 months old, it was very likely made together with the game, this was Odyssey team right? It took them 7~8 years to release another game, but less than 2 months for paid DLC to be added. We can't even say "a few months after the release" as it did not complete 2 months to be a plural... lol.

I hope the content is good and you can enjoy it, tho.

^ I just removed all third party games and remakes/remasters. Overall, I have to agree with you. We're getting 8 new games for Switch 2 from Nintendo within the first 10 months of launch. WTF did PS5 or Xbox Series have within that timeframe for 1st party? Nintendo honestly has it's competition beat because they stick to a release schedule that is more like 1997 than 2025. 



Pretty decent Direct overall. The level of niche for something like the Virtual Boy, and especially the og accessory, is atomic level lol. I was hoping Nintendo would be adding more N64, GBC, GBA, and GameCube games that are noticeably absent still rather than moving on to a new console, but still pretty cool to see though.

My daughter was stoked for the new Yoshi game, so I'll be getting that day one. We also loved seeing the first teaser for the new Mario movie! Other than that, that is absurd pricing charging $70 for both Mario Galaxy games lol. I'm gonna hold off on the DK Bananza DLC till I've 100% the game, but it's awesome seeing DK Isle again! Some solid ports coming, and good to see a huge third party release like RE Requiem day one.

Overall, I give it a 7/10.
