Finally had time to watch the entire Direct and it's a banger.
It seems like Square Enix bad decisions in marketing their recent remasters caught up with them and they came crawling back to the big-N.
Star Ocean, Super Mario RPG, both looked amazing. Other third party stuff was stellar, while some were announced at other venues, Nintendo finally got the details on MGS and other games. So we can see what they actually look like and how they play.
Nintendo's first party output once again exceeds expectations, after all the talk about TOTK being Nintendo's "last game" for Switch, they put Takahashi and Koizumi up there to announce a bunch more games launching as soon as this year. Turning the concept of playing Mario on drugs in a very fun and crazy looking new 2D Mario game that drops as soon as October.
The big one missing was Metroid Prime 4 but it doesn't look like the Switch is slowing down anytime soon. I could still see it drop this year being announced at the next Direct or a seperate event (maybe GamesCom). So yeah, MP4 would be the cherry on top but overall the Switch line-up this year is great.
Just think about it, any other publisher would've released Super Mario The Movie The Game but only Nintendo is bold enough to drop Mario on Drugs instead.
