I know you like to think im a shit stain for never being satisfied with what nintendo is getting but I will say that I am happy with this.Yoshi178 said:
Marvel Ult Ally 3
Bloodstained
Astral Chain
All of those look good, plus the usual nintendo offerings.
This was a decent preview.
It was pretty sweet. Astral Chain looks cool. At first, I was immediately bummed because it reminded me of Xenoblade Chronicles 2, a game that reminded me how to hate, but it looks nice. Being developed by Platinum is a huge plus. Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 is actually coming! I've waited so long! Venom! Iron Fist! Storm! Fire Emblem: Three Houses... Yeah, fine, school setting. Whatever. Just let me smash my armies together. I'm not exactly sure how to feel about DaemonXMachina, even after playing the demo. I don't hate it, but it doesn't feel fun.
I'm also interested in getting some games I hadn't played or completed before. FF, Link's Awakening, DQ, and Rune Factory will be interesting, but they aren't at the top of my list.

This was a pretty good direct. Lots to look forward to.
Astral Chain looks... *sunglasses* Off the Chain. *badumtish*
The Daemon X Machina Demo is...Well, it confirms what I could already tell. Feels clunky and looks messy, but it's a serviceable Gundam type game, and considering I have a Custom Robo shaped hole in my heart... I'll likely grab this when it comes out.
I'm glad to see Rune Factory 4 get remastered, but...Unless they revamped the dialogue so that Forte isn't bland as plain bread outside of main story moments, I'm not likely to pick it up. Seriously, the game was great, but all the bachelorettes were...Kinda lame. Dolce was the most fun, but comes paired with THE most annoying side character ever, and Forte is great when the main story is rolling, but boring otherwise. :s
Rune Factory 5, though...Pleeaaaaase be good. The series has always been so close to a home run for me, but always misses something critical. The first game was unrefined, The third game...Well, it's not it's fault, the convention stand where I picked it up gave me the first game instead by accident, 4 had mostly boring characters...And Frontier was basically perfect except for the runey system that ruined EVERYTHING by demanding babysitting and being a pain in the ass about it. So I REALLY want the series to have an unequivocably great entry that I can love without reservation.
Glad to see Bloodstained FINALLY coming out, I'm tempted to buy FF9 on the Switch despite owning it on PC already but never got around to it, Link's Awakening playmobil art style has me going "eeeehhhhhhh"...
And for some weird reason, making Fire Emblem into Hogwarts with Swords, BTW you're the Professor has me very intrigued, which it shouldn't, because I don't really forsee this ending up with a compelling plotline.
Finally...Switch getting the definitive edition of the latest Dragon Quest...Exclusively...THAT'S a shock. I can imagine a lot of people are real salty about that.

Astral Chain looks like one of those games where if you made it exclusive for the Switch it'd be worth getting a Switch over. Super duper incredible hype. Need more info.
Had known of the new DQ11 version a while ago so this wasn't news, they do tend to make those re-releases which have a bit more content. It's one of those games where even the base version has something like 130 hours of playtime so it's hard to be disappointed.

Links Awakening remake *sigh* I really am going to have to buy a Switch at some point. I keep saying this, but the games I want to play keeps increasing.
Damnation, I was hoping for Pokemon news. But that is quite the line up so hey, points for their actual fans rather than the grumps like me that just play PokemonAiddon said:
Don't mind more Fire Emblem. Not sure how I feel about the school setting. I blame Valkyria Chronicles 2 for that. Other than that, Dragon Quest XI and Rune Factory catch my fancy. I always liked 2D Zelda more than 3D, so that's neat. Oninaki looks pretty interesting. See how that turns out. The rest I'll look into later.
No Mario 3D World port announced. With an upcoming new Mario and the recent NSMBU port tho, it probably won't be soon. That's fine. Would've liked Tokyo Mirage Sessions tho. Can't have everything.
Overall, pretty satisfied with my Switch prospects.

TIL Nintendo coined that. Thought it was a fan term. Not sure whether I think it's a fun play on words, or sort of lame. Maybe both? Like a dad joke. You roll your eyes at it, but it gets a chuckle anyway.Yoshi178 said:
It seems the JP direct had this extra game I didn't notice being in the direct:

Oni no naku kuni/Land where the Oni cry
Looks like a pretty cool rpg by square. Based on the trailer (since it's in JP I figure I should describe it a bit) you play as this guy who can travel to the afterlife version of the world and save people who died but failed to move on/reincarnate and has to try and not be saddened by the whole affair.
It's made by the I am Setsuna people so I'm definitely looking forward to it.
