pikmin 4 trailer. not a fan whatsoever, but hey it looks good for people who do like the game. i like the music. do the pikmin games have co-op anymore? i know that was a thing with pikmin 2 which is the only reason why i played that game at all.

lol another samba de amigo, that's pretty funny and completely unexpected. i'm here for it though.

dead cells i haven't played yet but the castlevania tie-in might be enough for me to try it out. i fucking love castlevania and it looks like they did right by it.

tron game, that's interesting. don't really wanna play a tron VN though... just give me more light bike and identity disc shenanigans like tron 2.0.

wtf cunny bayonetta spin off game? xD looks cute and funny indeed, but the gameplay is not that appealing to me.

it's funny that they are basically releasing splatoon 1 as DLC for splatoon 3 xD i guess not a lot of people owned a wii u so it makes sense they'd do something like that eventually. i for one am actually a fan of this kind of thing where, instead of releasing a new game, they just add to the core game instead. nintendo games are so fucking solid that it's like.... if it ain't broke don't fix it. the mario kart 8 stage expansion for instance is absolutely incredible. more of the game you love for a lot less than the price of a new game.

octopath traveler 2 having a demo that you can move your save data from to the full game when it releases is such a great idea. more games seriously need to do this.

sea of stars looks cool, the soundtrack has tracks by yasunori mitsuda (chrono composer). will probably just listen to the soundtrack lol. maybe i'll get around to play it if it gets good reviews and i see a bit more gameplay.

bruh FINALLY advance wars is coming out xD fuck that "we can't release due to russia" bullshit. i'm not a strategy fan but i'm glad people finally get to play it lmao.

gameboy/gba games on nintendo switch, it's about fucking time dude xD for how bad the emulation is on switch, why does it take so damn long to get these games onto the service? didn't expect to see alone in the dark on there though, that's a crazy game considering the original hardware. i wonder how they intend on getting golden sun running though, didn't it have some weird thing going on with the cartridge having solar sensors in it or am i thinking of something else?

yooooo metroid prime remaster! looks really solid :D maybe i'll actually get around to playing it now :) inb4 it's $60 lol. and it's out today!! that's a treat. gonna' be a bit before i get around to it though lol.

also very surprised to see baten kaitos remastered. didn't think those would ever get another release.

why are there SO MANY weird farming games and animal crossing clones coming out?

bruhhh new professor layton game! that's another series i never thought would get a resurgence.

wave 4 of mario kart DLC adding birdo alongside the tracks? wow that is interesting, that means we could maybe get other characters in the future!

tears of the kingdom looking FINE too btw. i'm gonna have to get that collector's edition ;_; it looks like it really does add a lot of new gameplay elements so i'm very interested! also... there's more of that twilight music going on towards the end... certainly there will be some twilight stuff in there. looking forward to it!

overall, a pretty good direct! metroid, professor layton, and obviously zelda have me pretty intrigued!

@beardalaxy I only saw the end of it, and when mean end of it, I mean the end of the Zelda trailer. Thought I did watch the full trailer afterward.

>bruh FINALLY advance wars is coming out xD fuck that "we can't release due to russia" bullshit.

They probably decided that the war isn't going to end anytime soon. It's either release it or cancel it, at this point. I don't care about strategy games either, but it is considered to be one of the best games of all time, so I should probably try it.

>gameboy/gba games on nintendo switch

I think they still wanted to squeeze as much as they still could from the 3DS and Wii U eShops. All I can see now is people petitioning Nintendo to localize Mother 3 again, even though it's probably never going to happen.

>metroid prime remaster

Never played the Prime games but given that my love for Metroid has grown over the years, I probably will try it.

>why are there SO MANY weird farming games and animal crossing clones coming out?

The success of Stardew Valley, probably. I still can't believe that game had overthrown Harvest Moon/Story of the Seasons. I bet most people who played that game don't even know what Harvest Moon even is.

>wave 4 of mario kart DLC adding birdo alongside the tracks? wow that is interesting, that means we could maybe get other characters in the future!

Even with all the DLC, it still feels weird that the Switch is the only Nintendo console, besides the NES, not to have an original Mario Kart game. (Mario Kart Live doesn't count) I really don't like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe because everything was pretty much unlocked from the start. I think the DLC should make up for it.

>tears of the kingdom looking FINE too btw.

It still didn't show much. I really hope they do fix the problems of BoTW and include actual dungeons this time.

@xianc78 we knew way more about botw at this point than we do totk right now, but every trailer has been pretty dense with interesting and intriguing stuff. I mean we saw a bunch of new enemies and mechanics and even a bit more of the plot, but not enough to just straight up spoil everything.

Aounuma did say that the title of the game would give away part of the story, and when it announced it didn't make sense. Now though I've realized there is a good chance it refers to the tears of light in twilight princess, or the sacred tears in skyward sword. Perhaps they will serve a really important purpose, maybe giving link extra powers, and/or a means of reviving the goddesses.
