You see, it’s this kind of negativity that I don’t understand. Not even upset with the games themselves, just complaining about graphics, pricing, and…I’m not sure what to classify “no one asked for” as. This forum has been overwhelmingly negative in recent times when compared to ResetEra, FamiBoards, X, etc. Life’s a lot better when you aren’t constantly complaining. For how you described everything, a B- seems very generous.

I’m not calling for “toxic positivity,” but for looking on the bright side. I recognize the offensively greedy practices of Nintendo in recent times, and I have even voiced my grievances to an extent, but ultimately, there’s no point in acting like it’s not extremely charming that Nintendo has chosen to include VB to NSO (at no additional cost to the service, I should add), or that the newest FE—though it may look “dated”—is still a new mainline FE game.

This one wasn't for me, not into fire emblem. I am into metroid but that anticipation has been milked for how many years now?

I'm also into Mario Galaxy, but at 40 dollars per minimum-possible-effort-port, crazy!

For 40 dollars we got a full remake level remaster of metroid prime, they're now going in at that same price point but with precisely none of the effort on their side!? Honestly, I'd like to hear anyone give a defence of that. Just pure greed.

Any time a company has a successful period enshitification is almost always sure to follow & it's seemingly no different for Nintendo. Just torching hard earned goodwill from fans for a buck. I don't even see the business case here, surely that price point is gonna turn off most potential buyers...?

I thought the overall presentation was quite sloppy as well tbh. They'd show game clips with narration then switch back to the Nintendo execs who'd then just repeat the same thing and show the same clips, eh?

Finally, not really into the yoshi game aesthetic. I think they could have leveraged S2 to really push a wooly world style or go high detail claymation. The painterly style just looks less fun/cute. Missed opportunity imo but appreciate that's a taste thing.

P. S. Do we really need another kirby air ride direct?

The fact that they didn't remake the Galaxy games or at least remake the graphics when a movie is coming out and Galaxy 3 is heavily likely now is baffling. The 2 Galaxy games are masterpieces and in my Top 4 games but the price is high for what you get relative to the small cost these are for Nintendo. The HD/4K ports of these probably cost a few million USD at best. 

galaxy 1 and 2 re-releases? mario wonder switch 2 edition? are we to expect more of this? what about wii u games turned switch ports, am i to expect switch 2 editions of many of these games? im sick of these efforts. they have released galaxy twice now on the same console. they also announced dlc for a game before its release. unacceptable behavior. the metroid footage was cool but the game is coming out in a few months, it doesnt really add anything to the direct itself. i was also disappointed that there was no collectors edition announced for power wash simulator, so that was a big missed opportunity.

yoshi, mario tennis, fire emblem, resident evil, all good stuff. but thats about where it ends. my initial impression was a bit harsh (1/10) so ill raise it to 3/10

Mario Tennis

Fire Emblem

Resident Evil

Fatal Frame 2

Pokopia

Fatal Frame 2

Bananza DLC

Fatal Frame 2

Mega Delphox

Fatal Frame 2

Have I mentioned they are remaking Fatal Frame 2?

I didn't own a Switch when Nintendo released their stupid FOMO Mario 3D Collection, so I'm excited for Galaxy 1&2 as well, but I won't get it for full price.

Fatal Frame 2

maybe if it were a fatal frame 5 localization or fatal frame 6, that would be way more hype.
