Smash is also quite laid back. Wasn't also Let's go announced at E3?Animal Crossing being the big E3 game feels so wrong. Nothing against the series, but it is so laid back that you can't really build hype around it. Do you know what I mean?
Reality always feels a little more empty than promise, like when you get a new job and that new-job sheen wears off and then you feel mildly depressed for a while.

Maybe, but it makes a fuck ton of money.Animal Crossing being the big E3 game feels so wrong. Nothing against the series, but it is so laid back that you can't really build hype around it. Do you know what I mean?
I think it was a strong contender for the best Direct ever, personallyThere are people disappointed by this direct? It's the best in recent memory. Maybe it's just the type of games they announced really appeal to me.
Wow. What a direct. Just announcement after announcement.
Dragon quest looks spectacular.
Astral chain looks great.
The fire emblem setting in intriguing.
Mario maker looks full featured
Questions... No details about physical release of ff9 and ff7?
Also wish box boy was physical.
Tooo many games... Seriously. My backlog will get absurd. Still have so many games from 2018 I Havent bought yet and 2019 is getting crazy.
Link's awakening will be mine.
My one concern is the year seems to be getting very very second half heavy.
No child of mine!The Direct ends and you notice a newborn sitting next to you and it immediately starts complaining about the art style in Link's Awakening
Yep. Every direct is someone's favorite while simultaniously being someone elses worst.Maybe it's just the type of games they announced really appeal to me.
In a vacuum the direct was very good. The problem, I think, is that not only was it a very long time between this and the last direct, the release schedule was completely bare for 2019 from both a 1st and 3rd party perspective. As such expectations were through the roof, and Nintendo never going to be able to make everyone happy unless they pulled out all the stops, which they didn't. It's particularly noticeable that the first half of the year is once again fairly dry.There are people disappointed by this direct? It's the best in recent memory.

I'm in disbelief at both how bad H1 2019 is for Switch releases and how good H2 2019 is for Switch releases
The negativity that gets expressed on this forum after any big video game event like this makes me wonder if people here actually enjoy playing video games or if they just like talking about and complaining about them.

I mean it's possible people just have different tastes and opinions? Some people here loved the direct. Some didn't.

Don't think I'll buy anything in April and May except for Boxboy. Not a Mortal Kombat fan, and I've played all the Final Fantasy games already. Hopefully some cool indies release, but wouldn't be too surprised if my switch is just left to collect dust until June.That's kinda where I'm at, although April is looking awesome in terms of third parties (assuming you don't hate ports).
Not that I have any sort of lack of games to play but it's a bit puzzling to say the least.
I think there is a very consistent trend of hyperbolic negative reactions to just about any major video game event. In particular I dislike the narrow-minded opinions that people express when something they don't like is automatically "terrible" and an "awful business decision" or the like. Not every game is made for you (the generic you) and that's ok but forum posters seem to think that every game should be made for them specifically or else there is no purpose in it existing. I would love if people were capable of more nuance and complexity or at least less hyperbolic negativity.I mean it's possible people just have different tastes and opinions?

What if Nintendo does a Mini Direct? We've been talking about stuff "missing" like Pikmin 3, MPT, a possible Detective Pikachu port, DMC Collection. Maybe Nintendo drops a Mini Direct next month.Labo is probably April or May, yeah. I could see a Wii U port like Pikmin 3 coming in one of those months too but I'm not sure where they'd announce it now...
Edit: Ah how about a Detective Pikachu port around when the movie launches?

However, after June...
Super Mario Maker 2, FE 3 Houses, Daemon x Machina, MUA3, ASTRAL CHAIN, Zelda, Lugis Mansion 3, Animal Crossing, Pokémon Gen 8, all in a 7 month period... I really can't wait
Alright, I've heard good things, so I might actually pick it up unless some more games are suddenly announced for that time frame. Thanks for the suggestionMy most hyped game of that month is Dragon's Dogma, so if you've never played that I'd advise looking into it.
I mean, that isn't true. It is true that this direct had a ton of jrpg stuff. If you aren't into jrpg's, then that's a ton of the direct that basically meant nothing to you. It's fair to just be disappointed if nothing or almost nothing didn't appeal to you.I think there is a very consistent trend of hyperbolic negative reactions to just about any major video game event.

Unbelievable direct! Just fantastic non-stop stream of great titles with very little filler.
I was so excited after watching the Direct for these amazing games appeared on it. Then, I came to Era and found out that most of the discussions are about negative sentiment towards art style, school settings, thigh stockings etc, in unreasonable ways. A good dose of criticism is good for everyone, but when we ignore the good stuff and only discuss those things you don't like, it becomes a problem.The negativity that gets expressed on this forum after any big video game event like this makes me wonder if people here actually enjoy playing video games or if they just like talking about and complaining about them.
We definitely watched two different directs then.I mean, that isn't true. It is true that this direct had a ton of jrpg stuff.

E3 last year was even worse. I did watch the whole direct. There was a ton of indies and jrpg/anime stuff.We definitely watched two different directs then.
This also isn't E3. Mind that.
So now it's "jrpg/anime" stuff.E3 last year was even worse. I did watch the whole direct. There was a ton of indies and jrpg/anime stuff.
No one said every game should be for them. This direct didn't have a ton of variety though. Tons of anime-ish/jrpg stuff. if you aren't into that, tough luck.
There was a lot of anime style games in the direct, and jrpgs. Those aren't for me at all.So now it's "jrpg/anime" stuff.
I really don't know this "anime" genre of games though. I only see japanese stuff from japanese developers like Nintendo. Must be me.
Well then, I'm sorry for you.There was a lot of anime style games in the direct, and jrpgs. Those aren't for me at all.
Okay? This just comes down to people coming here and getting mad that not everyone thought this was an amazing direct. I'm not responding to every post saying it was amazing and telling them they're wrong. So not sure why those people have to do the opposite.
The problem is the people are who are super negative and using hyperboles of negativity. People prefer to look at "what wasn't there" instead of "what was there". That shit is laced in the gaming community.Okay? This just comes down to people coming here and getting mad that not everyone thought this was an amazing direct.
