I think people don't understand the difference between a Nintendo Direct and a list of games.

The games shown in the Direct were overall GOOD. There was a lot of games and there was something for everybody. There were some nice surprises, more information on very anticipated games that are about to launch, etc.

But the Direct itself? Like... the act of watching a 1 hour long video? It was terrible. There were very long segments about a bunch of games that no one gives a shit about. There were announcements that outright pissed people off (DLC for Z-A before the game's launch, Virtual Boy being behind THREE FUCKING PAYWALLS (NSO, Expasnion Pass, VB Accessory), Switch 1 free upgrades of very minor games and not a single big third or first party (Xenoblade series? Astral Chain? Bayonetta 3? Metroid Dread/Remaster? Fixing Nier Automata's crashes one day? No?), announcing a cheap Pokémon farming game like if it was some big gun... and many more). They relied heavily on games that we already know a lot about and are releasing like... any time (Z-A, Metroid Prime 4, etc). They skipped games that were already announced and we still know nothing about (Rhythm Heaven Groove, Splatoon Raiders, etc).

Overall, the Direct was boring, annoying and lame. That's what people is complaining about. It's the "this could have been an e-mail" thing. Maybe not that extreme, but still.

One way to save yourself 45+ minutes whenever one of these sorts of reel Directs are announced, is to just find a list of games and look up anything that sounds interesting to you. Some sites go a bit more in depth if there’s anything else interesting about the games revealed.



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

I think this guy gives a good representation of how a lot of Nintendo fans are feeling atm post-direct.



Looks like prices for the new amiibo in Europe will not be as expensive as in the States. Everything is 10 euros less (Samus amiibo is 20 euros instead of 30 dollars, Mario Galaxy amiibos are 30 euros instead of 40 dollars, etc.).



I can’t find the Rosalina storybook in Europe. Kinda annoying.

They got in in Amazon Spain. But it's the english version. If there's no spanish translation, I'll have to pass. I would like to read it to my children once I have them...

Thanks.

But yeah, while English would be fine for me it would be fun if they’d come out with versions in other languages. I think I’ll wait a bit then, but will keep this in mind.
