Nintendo Direct 2.8.2023 - Nintendo Switch

the way this direct has people split between immeasurable disappointment and immeasurable excitement is hilarious.

That Metroid Prime shadow drop almost gave me a heart attack. You can't do this to me Nintendo.

One of the most exciting direct's in a while

Professor Layton was my childhood! That reveal just blew my mind. Still ecstatic for Zelda too.

I love how certain games like Tomodachi Life suddenly explode in popularity and then a bunch of people become desperate for a sequel, to be honest I really hope it happens in the future, that game was so fun

I never got to play a Pikmin game as a kid, but I loved the art and everything I could find about it. I am SO hyped for the new game.

Samba de Amigo was SHOCKING for me, hearing about this franchise in 2023 is absolutely incredible but I remember to have loved it back in the days!

Glad to see that Level-5 Games is releasing titles for the global audience again.

29:22 is about where the direct starts, for anyone watching after the broadcast.

I’m actually excited for a lot of these titles tbh! But the new professor Layton and ghost trick port is honestly the cherry on top of everything and all I could’ve asked for 🥰

That last part with tears of the kingdom looks so epic. Can't wait to play. And I wasn't expecting that brief promo of professor layton. But I'm excited for whatever that will be.

Direct officially begins at 29:40 for you non live viewers.

Aaaaaand now this comment is obsolete. At least it was useful while it lasted.

I’m so happy Metroid’s getting more love from Nintendo recently! That prime remaster looks gorgeous

I'm so happy for Fantasy Life and Etrian Odyessy. It deserved a sequel, and EO deserved a remaster, especially since it means III will get all the nice changes the games got over time.

I’m so excited for Fashion Dreamer! By the developers of Style Savvy, a game we’ve been waiting for since 2017. A bit bummed about the drop in clothing from over 20,000 to 1400 but maybe it will offer a lot of customization.

The Professor Layton reveal got me but surprise!! I love this series and I’m so happy to see it returns!!

It’s cool to see people in the comments excited by so many different games and genres. It’s like everyone is looking forward to their own personal fav.

People are sleeping on that Bayonetta game. It may not be the expected gameplay for its brand, but it looks very promising

We NEED a sequel to Tomodachi Life
