Other than MP4, no major first party games. They really need to announce something of the level of Breath of the Wild next month or this thing is going to go the way of the Wii U. Which I wouldn't mind really, it's judicially easier to develop emulation for dead hardware.

Yeah, they really need a kick in the ass; this all seems tame

Not sure how this is a surprise, they're just about to replace the Switch so of course there won't be that many major games left for it, they've almost certainly shifted most of their major studios over to the Switch 2 a good while ago by now

Though I mean, they still announced very long-awaited smaller games like a new Rhythm Heaven and Tomodachi Life so I'd say it was still a pretty good Direct (plus some pretty cool third party games)

And honestly? Even if they somehow only have Mario Kart in the Switch 2 Direct, it'll probably still have good release sales because Mario Kart is just that insanely popular lmao

There's absolutely zero chance the Switch 2 is going the way of the Wii U, there are a lot of reasons why that went down the way it did and the Switch/Switch 2 don't really have anything in common with it

Had no clue what this game was, but he small showcase has really intrigued me. I love the asthetics of it and will be sure to keep track of it for when I have time.

It's got my attention more then Metroid Prime 4, and I'm an avid Metroid fan. (Nothing against MP4 I just really vibe with Witchbrook)

fuck to the yeah

Metroid Prime Beyond looks awesome, and it'll look more awesome on the Switch 2, and it'll look yet more awesome when emulation's able to run it. Which option should I wait for, I wonder?

[-] Makan@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 4 days ago

Emulation, of course!

I’m really looking forward to Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar and TOMODACHI life. I played the originals when I was young and they were some of my favourite games ever. The new graphics look great too and I hope they allow gay marriage now (I believe story of seasons does).

Also some may be disappointed but I think the new Pokémon Legends looks super fun and I’m going to play it. Chikorita is the best!

Legends Arceus was the closest thing to a decent pokemon game in the last decade. It felt like an alpha release, but it was still nice to actually see them switch up the formula for a change. The new pokemon legends will probably be pretty fun, I just wish they actually spent more time on their games (or allowed mod support for their games, so people could fix their rush jobs for them)

I just wish they actually spent more time on their games

They've pretty clearly been doing that this time, which explains why this game seems a lot less rough than the SV, even if people (cough redditors) pretend it doesn't look/run any better (it very obviously does)

Game Freak doesn't set the deadlines either way, so I don't fault them for the last few games being rushed, though I'm still waiting to play SV until I have hardware that can run it half decently 😩 Game seems pretty good from what I've heard from people who can look past the technical issues

I'm still not sure if I wanna try the new Legends. The thing that attracted me to the first fame was the setting, whereas I'm not quite as interested in Kalos setting of ZA. I think I'll wait for reviews to come in and determine if the game play is worth it for me, as I quite enjoyed the first game.

I think I'll probably choose the Unova starter again, but I'd like to see what they turn into, as all of them could become my favorite with the right final evo.

TOMODACHI Life is the life.
