Nintendo Direct Mini 3.26.2020
- Thread starter Xavi
- Start date
Does anyone know what the song was that played during the last montage before the Pokemon stuff? I didn't know if it was from a game but it was pretty cool.
Same. There's just so much coming out. I don't even know where to start.
Just let them be disappointed? Christ. Obviously their post was subjective. The disparaging remarks on anyone not entirely positive about the Direct are tiring and unnecessary.
No one is calling you ridiculous for enjoying the Direct. So why do you?
1. Zero interest. 2. Zero interest. 3 More than zero interest. 4. Zero interest.
I was pretty happy with this Direct. Animal Crossing hasn't even cooled yet, and I still have a pretty hefty backlog for the next couple months. Xenoblade and BioShock couldn't be coming at a better time, Star Wars Racer is aces, and I'm excited for Playhouse Games (a new first-party game btw) as a fun time-waster.
Gonna check out the Bravely Default II demo later today.

Sounds like it's time for either another console next to Switch, or to broaden your gaming genre habits.
Ideally both.
My argument was made specifically at someone who is talking down to others for being unhappy. The recent trend in these threads to call people entitled to shut them up I'd really counterintuitive.
I meant backwards in the sense that it seems to be increasing recently, not just specifically with this direct. Sorry for the confusion.

Well, this was great for a mini Direct
I was so absorbed into Animal Crossing that i didn't realize it got announced, and didn't realize there was one until i got a gmail notification in my phone about Burnout coming to Switch
It was really packed, with quite a few surprises (for me at least) and some shadow drops happening. The BD2 demo OF COURSE is now downloading to my Switch.
And of effin' course i'm getting dat Xenoblade. The trailer got me hyped AF

They only covered games (or at least their demos) scheduled up to June. That is likely not a coincidence.
They probably hold back some Wii U ports in case they have to delay planned (new) games due to the current situation.
Maybe I just don't like these games? Jesus christ it's not like I haven't tried Braverly and Xenoblade before -_-
Damn, it's almost like the world changed immensely from Sept to now? Hmm something something Corona.
We don't really know yet. We've definitely seen games before with announcement to release of less than three months. But I wouldn't expect much till July. And COVID could mean we at best get a couple ports and one to three significant new games the rest of the year. Not trying to FUD at all. Just to set my expectations.
Pretty happy with this Direct, there is lots of cool stuff coming out in the next couple months. There was more in there than I expected for something labeled as mini. I'm really excited to play the Xenoblade remake.
Personally I'm thrilled with the mini direct, but as someone who enjoys a good "one more thing" I feel this direct would have been better served putting the arms dlc smash fighter as the finale. I imagine they chose not to since they didn't have anything to show, but they didn't show much for the isle of armor either so 🤷♀️
It is - we got the Indie Direct, Animal Crossing and the Mini Direct in the last 10 days from Nintendo....which you could say were among the 10 worst for most industry nations in terms of economic impact.
There isnt much going on, pretty much everything is getting cancelled.....yet for some reason people, expect Nintendo and their announcements not to be affected by such a pandemic.
As you say its difficult to browse these threads filled with entitlement. It starts with the ridiculous Direct Hype threads of people hyping themselves up for weeks, based on nothing, only to then always crash and burn.
Does this mean we'll have silence and no first party announcements for a while? That mini direct was very telling of the drought that's to come.
Okay so you don't like Bravely, Xenoblade, AC and Smash. That's fine. I'm not too hot on AC either and only "semi play" it due to my kids playing it.
What about the 2K games collections? Ever played those? Or, to return to my first post quoting you, you should look what games are on other platforms you might enjoy.
I didn't critize that you don't like those games, i just said that you have to change habits and/or look elsewhere for stuff you might like within the next 3 months.
They shadowdropped an eshop game today (Good Job, published by Nintendo), Xenoblade in May, Clubhouse in June... But ok, if you say so.
Yes, I tried out BioShock Infinite and the first one on my PC. It's okay but also not my cup of tea.
Sorry if I sounded agressive. I thought you were one of these "no disappointment allowed" people.
I guess this was the second best mini so far during the Switch lifespan.. or the worst depending on how you see it.
It was a Mini so I really didnt expect to see any new big hitters.. but yeah, this was very dissapointing.
On the Bright side, XC will be spectacular, new content is yum and that Collectors Edition will be mine. Also now with a date!
Also looks like BDII will take the Octopath route which definately helped that game. Will try out the demo.
Nice touch of Nintendo to pay respect to those ones struggling in the Pandemic.
But on the flipside - direct was defined by things like this...
2 Minutes of tabletop classics
An announcement of an announcement to please the Smash fans - Nice to see it being an Arms Character though hopefully Twintelle.
Ending with more info on a previously announced DLC we already had a direct about...

Pretty strange. They're putting most the focus on DLC.
Do we have no first party games with dates after May?
That doesn't mean people can't still be disappointed with what was shown.
Even the last mini had two first party ports and a fairly "big" first party game. This didn't even have the former, and ended with not saying much about DLC that was just announce, both of which are part of the issue for seemingly most people.
I thought it was a solid Mini despite not finding a lot in it for me (Tbh, some of that stuff I already got for PS4). I'm really excited for the Arms character in Smash, BDII, & XBC Redux though!
There was nothing mini about this, except the fact that they didn't announce any new first party games.
That Pokémon DLC finisher kinda sucked, it was all information we knew, would've been a great direct otherwise if they had a new announcement for the end.
Arms in Smash is kinda expected, so it's fine I guess, but 5 months before the next character kinda sucks.
THAT RING FIT ADVENTURE UPDATE! Holy shit that's huge, they made it into a Nintendo Rhythm game that also doubles as exercise. I really need to pick it up now, that's freaking cool and easily the highlight of the direct.

This was The Most Important Direct Possibly Ever. We finally got proof of life on this guy. Yes I will pay the $60 ransom to free my boy if that's what it takes

Yikes. I'll check out the Bravely 2 demo and Good Job! looks fun. Other than that... glad there's some big games hitting on PS4 over the next few months.
so I hope we get 5 big games for the last 5 months of the year in the June direct
August through September
August through September
Ring Fit update is practically a troll right now due to it being sold out all over. It looks great though cant wait to try it. I wish-listed about 4 games and look forward to them being like half the listed price and also because I just bought 5 deeply discounted games yesterday. That underwater metroidvania might sell me full price if it's really strong though. Will watch reviews.
That was just fine, and really neat in some spots.
I understand some of the disappointment given the longest ever drought and then nothing too heavy beyond a light trickle or stream of stuff, but some of you really need to get a bit of a grip. There is a global crisis and very few industries are exempt. Sure, messaging can always be improved but they are clearly worried about more than that right now
