Nintendo talks about not having been able to have a real Nintendo Direct for quite some time, but the company is excited for today's announcements.

The latest Smash DLC will release in March.
Neat, I guess

I honestly forgot this game existed

A new Mario Golf. There are several modes, including speed golf. You race through the course to be the first to finish. There's also a story mode, and you can level up your custom character with stats. Mario Golf: Super Rush arrives June 25.

Shocker /s
However, Skyward Sword is coming to Switch. Skyward Sword released 10 years ago. The motion controls have been improved with the Joy-Cons. Button controls also exist. Tilt the right control stick to swing the sword in specific ways. July 16.
I'm not the type to go "just emulate it" but well, just emulate it

Fun fact, that Stubbs the Zombie game is built off of the same game engine that Halo 1 used. It was originally released on the original Xbox.

^What this guy said, applied to Guilty Gear and honestly, even and especially Blazblue.

Here's the titles for the Guilty Gear games in release order, not counting handheld games/ports since those usually fall into spinoff or "port-so-bad-its-not-worth-it" like the one on GBA or that one oddball pachinko game.

Guilty Gear
Guilty Gear X
Guilty Gear X Plus (basically the same as above, but they added Kliff and Justice from the original since they both bit the dust there)
Guilty Gear XX
Guilty Gear XX #Reload
Guilty Gear Isuka
Guilty Gear XX Slash
Guilty Gear 2 Overture
Guilty Gear XX Accent Core
Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus
Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus R
Guilty Gear Xrd -Sign-
Guilty Gear Xrd Revelator
Guilty Gear Xrd Rev. 2
Guilty Gear Strive (apparently, this one's gonna be the end? At least for Sol Badguy? IDK, we'll see!)

Hoo boy. Now, Blazblue, in release order, and not taking into account XBlaze. Looking at the title, one would assume no relation between it and Blazblue, but anyways:

Blazblue Calamity Trigger
Blazblue Continuum Shift
Blazblue Continuum Shift II
Blazblue Continuum Shift Extend
Blazblue Chronophantasma
Blazblue Chronophantasma Extend
Blazblue Central Fiction
Blazblue Cross Tag Battle
And now, there's some new one that's getting teased called Blazblue Alternate: Dark War or something.


Whoever titles a lot of modern anime anything needs to put the bong down and get their act cleaned up!

I miss when Squaresoft made cool shit, before they started sleeping with Enix (Worst decision they've made yet, I've never cared for Enix's games).

Yeah, they didn't just make Final Fantasy or RPG games back in the 90's. They also made stuff like Einhander, Ehrgeiz, Bushido Blade, and RPGs not just called Final Fantasy like Parasite Eve, Xenogears, Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross, etc..

Where's Chrono Trigger remake, my dudes? :huh:

Nintendo is mocking us all. Just saying... :mellow:

Thanks for sharing your insights, kiddo. You're right, "Overall, 6/10, decent, but kinda disappointing". :)

Wouldn't a Chrono Trigger remake require Toriyama's approval or involvement? Because iirc, the only reason that game came together like it did was partially due to his involvement and cooperation with Square not just on it, but at least both of the Tobal games as well.

I'd rather have a Chrono Cross remake or sequel, thank you very much. Chrono Trigger wasn't nearly as good as Chrono Cross in my opinion.
