Just skimmed through the direct, figured I'd make a thread with a brief breakdown for those who don't want to watch it or catch up to speed. I'm not covering third party announcements unless they're exclusive, and not a timed exclusive either.
>Mario Galaxy movie (yes, really, it was also the first actual announcement)
When this was announced as the "main event", I was so fucking livid. I DO NOT care about the movies or getting a movie that much.
>Super Mario Galaxy 1+2 remaster
Like everyone else, I figured this would lead to a Galaxy 3 when they showed the games, but, uh, no. You get a slapped on port for 80 bucks. Pay up.
>Mario Tennis FEVER
This one was embarassing. Trying to present the mechanic of REACHING OUT TO HIT THE BALL as new when Power Tennis did that, AND RACKET POWERS WHEN POWER TENNIS ALREADY DID THAT. Every fucking game post Power has been trying to capture the same magic and fun and absolutely NONE of them come close, so they figured they may as well just lie to your faces and blatantly copy it. Fucking pathetic.
>Super Mario Wonder (S2 Boogaloo edition)
No one needed this.
>Yoshi and the Mysterious Book
Looks fine... I guess. Will Yoshifags ever get another actual Yoshi game and not some arts and crafts bullshit? I feel sorry for you guys.
>Storm Lancers
Not really interested.
>Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream
See above. Good for Tomofags though I guess.
>Kirby Air Riders amiibo
This was kinda cool. First time they made interchangeable amiibos, as far as I recall. No idea why they haven't done this sooner, but oh well.
>NSO addition: Virtual Boy games and accessory
This is... completely and utterly tonedeaf. Who the fuck asked for this? How up your own ass, or how much do you underestimate your fanbase's intelligence and overestimate their affection to you that you think this would be a good idea? WHO THE FUCK IS BUYING THIS?
