Bananza DLC is $19.99 per the eShop. They should have just delayed Bananza and included this DLC on the cart. Really annoying.
| G2ThaUNiT said: 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. |
I wish we got more NSO games but we'll get them through the same drip feed release like Sony does with PS Classics of legacy platforms older than PS4
I'm excited for the Yoshi game too!
Also just bought the DK Bananza DLC - havent even started it yet, trying to finish DMC5 SE first (already did the main game, just doing post game stuff like Vergil mode and LDK mode lol).

I am talking sales potential here, IE: 10m+ in one FY.
Mario Kart fits the bill but no 3D Mario, splatoonn, smash, Zelda, AC.
Their FY Forecast for s2 makes sense, keeping that in mind.

You people keep expecting dozens of announcements in every Direct even though Nintendo hasn't been announcing far-out games for almost a decade now. We have Pokémon, Hyrule Warriors, Metroid Prime 4 and Kirby Air Riders releasing this year, as well as Mario Galaxy 1+2 and the Donkey Kong DLC. What did you expect? For Nintendo to release two games per month? The games you are waiting for are probably in development, they just haven't been unveiled yet. There are even some games we know will come that weren't mentioned in this Direct. Nintendo never shows their full hand. |
Welp, I'll have to join my opinion to yours.
Sincerely, I think most people here reacted out of their guts with the hugest of expectations.
And you can quote me on this, I said it first in this thread.
Nintendo has their cards much tighter to their chests than they did a decade ago.
Basically, we've got a full schedule of what's to be expected from the beginning of next year until early Spring most likely. No real need to oversurgarcoat the presentation with far away releases.
Now, for the ACTUAL schedule we've got this year, I can understand the differing tastes of everyone in the offerings but let's not kid ourselves here. 2017 games offering on the Switch 1 would be considered a drought in comparison to what we had with the NS2 so far.
And such, in a shorter timeframe too.
As for the games presented itself, I've got my fill with Mario Tennis Fever (Aces is one of the best Mario Sports game, sue me), Yoshi and the Mysterious Book is completely my jam artistically. Metroid Prime 4 finally showed something to surprise people. And I've been served with the considerable amount of 3rd party games shown here like MH Stories 3, RE Requi9m, Dragon Quest VII Reimagined, Fatal Frame II Re-remake, etc ...
Honestly, I think there's a lot of people needing to chill their expectations and let Nintendo develop the game they want. We're not getting everyone's wet dreams in the first two years of the console lifespan, be real.

Please let me know how many hours it is to beat and if it's worth $20.

Because you need a set amount of hours in any game to enjoy yourself ?
Though, I understand the perspective of money/time ratio, to me it flies in the face of actually playing something that is good and of quality, nonetheless of the price.

2017 was a killer year for Nintendo.
Odyssey
BotW
Mario + Rabbids
Splatoon 2
Xenoblade Chronicles 2
And all the 3rd party stuff like Neir, Doom, etc. were all on the actual cart. Switch's 2017 launch blows Switch 2's out of the water. And I still think Switch 2 is the best launch year we've had in almost a decade.

Not at all. I was just curious. My collection is chock full of games that aren't even 5 hours long. Half my collection is retro games that you can beat in a single two hour sitting. :D
Having slept on it, (stayed up to midnight here to watch it) it wasn't quite the worst Direct ever, as there were a couple of cool things.
Problem was, it felt like 10 minutes of worthwhile content buried amongst 50 minutes of filler.
Stuff like the Mario sponsored marathon in Kyoto didn't need to be there, and among the new games announced there wasn't anything that felt like a real wow moment or heavy hitter. Yoshi and Fire Emblem aren't bad, but they not really system sellers or showstoppers.
Pokémon Pokopia looked kinda terrible, the Virtual Boy segment felt like a bad joke, and the announcers needlessly recapping what we just saw got tiresome.
On the flipside, Resident Evil, Fatal Frame, and release dates for FF7 and Prime 4 kept it from being a complete disaster, but it was a very underwhelming show.
Nintendo's marketing has been bafflingly bad this year for some reason, in stark contrast to how smart it mostly was last gen.

Agree with the mario sponsored marathon
Disagree with the Yoshi and Fire Emblem, those are my personal system seller level titles (Yoshi is what got me to get a N64 years ago).
I personally enjoyed the direct, it was chock full of titles I'm interested in and third party title announcements (that I would be interested on other platforms).
Honestly, they could have had a Mario direct and had the Mario announcements all in it but only if they had more third party and other non-mario announcements.
But if they did that, we probably wont have another direct until next year (Assuming we get another one in the next 3 months).
