so the switch, the last gen ports machine still holds true to its name, lmao

still, mario tennis aces looking pretty neat. Might finally get a switch near this year end just because of it, and maybe one or two other games.

Honestly, I expected a bit more. Perhaps we'll have to wait 'till E3 for all the really big announcements. The games announced here are kinda interesting, but mostly games I've already played that I can now play again on the go. Tbh, I'd love to play The World Ends With You again or try Hyrule Warriors and Dark Souls, but not at a full fat $60, which is what I'm expecting. Mario Tennis sounds kinda cool, and so does Kirby, but those games never interested me too much, so I can't say I'd actually buy either. Overall, there was nothing here that I could definitively say, "Heck yeah, take my money!"

A lukewarm start to the year, but I honestly have plenty to play on my Switch as-is, so I'm not perturbed. New Pokemon game soon, please!

Personally I'm really happy with this direct. There was a ton of great stuff packed in there (personally I'm really excited for dkc, Hyrule warriors, dark souls, and Kirby), especially being a mini direct at around 14 minutes long. IMO people set their expectations way too high for this direct because of all the leaks (as people do with most directs). Sure, a lot of these are ports of Wii u games, but keep in mind that a ton of people missed out on the Wii u and Nintendo has made it clear that the Wii u ports were going to be part of their strategy for the switch. Nintendo will probably announce stuff for the big games at e3 (pokemon, Metroid 4, maybe smash?). I'm a bit surprised we didn't hear anything about Yoshi or the new fire emblem, hopefully we'll get some news on those before e3.

sure yoshi got a port to 3ds but so did hyrule warriors and it got a remaster so who knows, out of all this games i would get smash for dlc on cartrige the rest im fine with my wiiu version,i respect people that never owned a wiiu that could enjoy this games.

I could see ports of 3d world, Xenoblade X, Mario maker and smash (both Mario maker and smash would be dx versions probably, or maybe even new games entirely) happening. Pikmin 3 and wooly world I doubt since Pikmin 4 is still in development last we heard and Yoshi is already getting a new game on switch. I've heard rumors of a port of the wonderful 101 for a while now, but if it actually happens we'll have to wait and see. Also as weird as it sounds I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo did a captain toad port.

oh i forgot captain toad its a neat little game they could easily add afew worlds and call it DX too, now its the best time to fill my wiiu library up, im still debating if i overpay for tropical freeze or get the wiiu version now that its like 15 euros used on amazon, i will wait and see. still miss some games for my wiiu library.

twewy is only 18 bucks on ios and android, I only see it coming out at 20 bucks tops on the switch, if they were real crazy, maybe 40, but I don't seem them doing a full 60 dollars in anyway at all

why in the hell would the mark it up to over 3 times the price of another version they have out all the way to 60, I see 40 as the cap, and there can be 40 dollar physical games on switch as seen with puyo puyo tetris, I can't seem them possibly going over 40, even with switch tax
