Yes it does.

PS: Please don't pre-order several times like a vulture, that is bad and I also want my copy.

Well that's my day made :D

Well, nothing else to be excited about. Nothing else really concerns me. Metroid looks meh, not buying a WiiU just for Starfox Zero, nothing much else really interests me. Back to trying to translate the writing on my sword. Why is Japanese such a pain in the arse?

• Star Fox Zero - Great, looks lotsa fun.
• Star Fox Guard aka "Project Guard" - Hm, not my thing.
• Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE - Wait, that's the name of SMTxFE.. with a hashtag? Still getting it anyway.
• Paper Mario Colour Splash - Not sold on this one yet.
• Pokken Tournament - Can't wait for it to be released!
• Twilight Princess HD - Will have it tomorrow! Coming in hours now. =)
• Hyrule Warriors Legends - Ninty should have made it a New 3DS exclusive because it runs terribly on an Old 3DS.
• Federation Force - An FPS game with robots.
• Kirby Planet Robobot - Er, why isn't this on the Wii U? The Wii U received a touchscreen Kirby game for god knows why and yet the 3DS once again is going to have a full on 2D traditional platforming game. So unfair.

- Mario Maker update is very welcome, Splatoon update looks okay.
- Star Fox looking good, but there's not much exciting news here. The SNES Arwing skin looks nice. Guard looks...like something.
- SNES VC is pleasant. Can't say I'm overjoyed personally, since it really only means that I can inject ROMs and play them smoother, albeit with fewer emulation features.
- Paper Mario looks lifeless and Sticker Star-ish. Which is redundant, come to think of it. I really hope I'm proven wrong, but the abundance of toads, one Kirsti expy, zero NPCs, a barren world, and a world map and battle mechanics nearly copypasted from SS doesn't look good at all.
- Eight desperate minutes spent on Federation Force. Still not all that impressed, still miffed that it's just got the Metroid label pasted on for brand recognition, but it doesn't look terrible, at the least. Blast Ball looks fun in its own right.
- I wasn't expecting another 3DS Qurb, much less Qurb but with mechs. Not terribly interested myself, though, since it just looks like more of the same. Meta Knight amiibo looks great, Dedede looks like a tried-and-true McDonalds' toy and reaction image bait, Waddle Dee and Kirby are just along for the ride.
- Rhythm Heaven Megamix, MH Generations, #FE, DQ7, Bravely Second, etc. coming stateside is nice and all, but I'm finding it kinda hard to get excited over games that have been in Japan for months, if not years already, and most of which I have played by now. But that's just me.
- I know the games sell well to the casual market, but I really could not care less about the Mario and Sonic At The Olympic Games: The Game games.
- Everything else talked about was mostly just "Hey, this still exists. It's coming out soon. Please be excited." And I didn't care.

I give it a solid Meh/10. The six minute Pokemon Direct got me more excited, and I don't understand why they didn't just combine that with this one to smooth out the abundance of mediocre announcements.

Just when I thought I couldn't be less excited about this game, Nintendo decides they're going to put in the bare minimum effort. I'm sure it's still going to be a full-priced release, too, or more if Atlus get involved.
I can't blame them. The game sold terribly in Japan, and getting English VAs with singing talent together would almost definitely turn up to be a low return on investment.

Paper Mario looks very Sticker Star-ish. World Map, no partners and one-use attacks that you have to collect. Those were the WORST things about Sticker Star! But on a positive note, at least this one seems to have a plot and looks friggin' beautiful.

Also WHY is SNES VC exclusive to New 3DS? If homebrew can play Super Mario World flawlessly on an old 3DS, Nintendo can do it too!

Also, for about thirty seconds I was fangasming about the prospect of a 3D Kirby game. Then it turned out to be another 2D one...
