Shinsekai: Into the Depths - Launch Trailer | Nintendo Switch | Apple Arcade
Take a deep breath and start your journey of survival and deep-sea exploration in Shinsekai: Into the Depths!Available now on #NintendoSwitch alongside a fre...www.youtube.com
Shinsekai. That Apple Arcade game.
The game is actually pretty cool. People forget that not everything on Apple Arcade is "mobile trash". Sayonara Wild Hearts was a launch title for example.
Huh. I'm just now learning Clubhouse Games is a previously-existing IP.
I didn't say it's a good, or big, or important game.
Just that it's not a previous-gen game port.
I was gonna talk you out of it anyway like you talked me out of drinking my own urine, there's no need to spend that much on a game you won't enjoy
Let me see...
Where is Zelda?
Where is Bayonetta 3?
Where is that series with a woman in a robotic suit? I can´t remember the name
I do get it is a Mini one and not a general but also, any update on No More Heroes 3, a game that is supposedly coming out this year, neither the more than rumored Wii U ports and the one more thing was about the Pokemon DLC. Are you fucking kidding me?
What a giant piece of crap.

Didn't hot girls 18 say there would be Metroid and Zelda here?
That's fair, but to be clear that's not what I'm saying. I just wish people would watch it through after the amount of time / energy we all put into anticipating it. I totally understand that someone could walk away super disappointed, especially after participating in the speculation. However, seeing blatantly incorrect posts like "not a single first party announcement" posted by someone who couldn't have possibly watched through the direct yet comes off as just looking to start something to me.
Well... it was hard to not see everything. They reeleased all trailers into my youtube feed , i needed to look for the direct. Also, on the nintendo side there was a list of all headlines and stuff, so... in the first 2 minutes you had the overview if there would be something big.
Really hope the next direct shows some new Nintendo games, last 6 months have been rough for me
Seriously? Those things will be at E3's direct. This is just covering between now and then.
XENOBLADE LOOKED AMAZING FAMS
I'M SO EXCITED :D
I'm surprised we didn't see any Wii U ports, though!

That was a fine Direct. Not much that interests me but plenty of great games coming to hold people over until June's E3 Direct.
Xenoblade and Animal Crossing will hold me over by themselves.

On the other hand stuff like this is planned so far in advance that the likelihood that things would have been so much better if only COVID wasn't here seems very small. They literally had to put in a quick "shit might change, everyone," warning in the start because everything has come in so fast recently; that doesn't indicate, to me, a gigantic change in content. There's also still a fair chance that Nintendo just doesn't have much to show this year which, considering 2018 and how that year was pretty much just Smash and Mario Party, is a possibility.
Either way I don't think it's good to make it out that people disappointed in this Direct are morally in the wrong due to the pandemic. You can still be disappointed in what is happening whilst still acknowledging the reasons behind it.
It's okay to be disappointed in lackluster video game announcements on a video game forum.
Ah fair, NOA is dripfeeding the trailers (still only have posted 2) but it looks like other regions didn't follow suit.
After all this time showing this is not enough for me. In the slightlest.
That's not how it works. They likely pushed back some releases when they delayed AC. Or possibly delayed AC not because it wasn't done, but because they wanted a big game to release now.
I get that, but why bother sitting through games you know you're not gonna get? I had no reason to watch the Xenoblade, Catherine, Ninjara, or Bravely Default segments.
I'm just hoping those 2k ports are reasonably priced. Overall not the strongest showing but there were a lot of shadowdrops.
Ninjala is looking really good! But I said the same thing about Bleeding Edge and it didn't turn out amazing.

Oh, I know people will be back at it as soon as the clock strikes midnight on April 1st.
Doesn't mean I'm going to join in on the craziness before June.
Yeah on DS. Unfortunately for me only a few of the games didnt come across as half-assed. I hope they improve the quality this time around instead of focusing more on quantity.
A remake of a game they've had available on all of their platforms... Exciting
they probably repurposed this after a delay in February.
it's clear a lot of 1st party stuff is COVID-affected. stay safe all
On a second note, this was actually pretty okay for a mini.
I still think a normal direct would've been better after 6 month, but what can you do. Covid gonna Covid.
I have AC, Panzer Dragoon and the BD 2 demo now, Trials of Mana next month and Xenoblade remake (not remaster) in May.
I just hope that the next big boy direct, whenever that is, will be juicy as fuck to make up for the long break.

I guess I'm just used to doing it from watching them live lol, plus I love the way these threads go when that's the case. Seeing everyone's reactions on a granular level to each announcement, etc.. and these early hot takes of "garbage!" just kind of soured that. But I hear ya, fair point!
You don't really need to watch the entire Direct to know what's in it; this ain't livestreamed after all.
Like for me I really don't care about Bravely Default 2 so I just skipped that section entirely. There is a chance that watching the few original headlines might have made you play those games but that's much less the case when stuff like "Borderlands, Bioshock and Xcom 2 coming to Switch" can be summed up in a single headline.
Not gonna lie? I actually liked the direct a lot! Not what i was expecting, but didn't necessarily disappoint me. This means more, bigger games for a future general, full-length Nintendo Direct. I did not expect 2K to announce Borderlands with all the 3 games included, pretty nice!
Jep, i have NOA , NOE and NOJ added (dont know why), and one of them pushed all out at once.
And expections someone, who does not see stuff hes interested to watch half an hour comercial...well.
Shure, some were to bad (to dismissive, to high expectations), but here are enough people that only want to hear great things said about nintendo, that it gets hard to feel like their in the wrong, its just a shit throwing contest with some people here.
And i cant be bad withpeople, when they dont see "Good Job" and "51 games" as the games they want from nintendo. (Im actually happy to see smaller games from them, even if they dont seem to be... as creative as i hope them to be...)
The sad thing is in pretty sure this was gonna be their first half of the year line up regardless of Rona. They really just...didn't have much going on. Hence going seven months without a general direct.
