Some Highlights from the June 18th, 2024 Nintendo Direct

My Favourite Announcements from the Nintendo Direct (6/18/2024)

New M&L game is very exciting. The artstyle looks very good. I'm wondering which internal studio is making this. I also wonder if they absorbed AlphaDream staff for the project. (Also I keep calling it "Brotherhood" because I am FMA trash).

FANTASIAN is finally out of Apple Arcade jail. For those that don't know, this is a game by Hironobu Sakaguchi - the creator of the Final Fantasy Series. All of the environments in the game are real-world Dioramas and Models that were scanned-in, so it has a very unique artstyle. FANTASIAN has been an Apple Arcade exclusive for many years, so it is so good that its finally free.

This game was very interesting to me. The artstyle is very captivating. The artstyle is very similar to the FMVs from Final Fantasy Tactics, which was always very cool and unique. There is not a lot of info about this title, but it seems to be a pretty neat Action RPG.

Dragon Quest Trilogy HD-2D Remake is looking really good. This project was announced a while back, but went quiet for a while. Originally it was just going to be the Dragon Quest 3, but they have decided to go ahead and remake the entire original trilogy, which is cool.

This is the really big one for me. A new Zelda game where Zelda is the protagonist. This was rumoured to be in development, so it is cool that it is real. It looks like it strikes a nice balance between the oneness of the Wild-era games and the constraints of the classic-styled games. I'm guessing that this is being developed by Grezzo, since it is using the Link's Awakening 2019 engine. It seems there will be heavy-emphasis on puzzle-solving, which is really cool.

Then, of course, we have Metroid Prime 4. After SEVEN years since it's announcement, we finally have a gameplay trailer. I'm honestly surprised they decided to announce this game for the base Switch instead of waiting for the Switch 2. But, the game also doesn't release until next year, so it's possible it will be a launch-title for Switch 2 or something.

I love learning that Sakaguchi-san was inspired to make Fantasian by replaying his own game, what a king

[gamergirl-lumine]

I believe I promised Cheryl?

The princess herself. Or queen, depending on how far you get into the quests. FANTASIAN rules!

[hardcoregamer]

Fantasian: Neo Dimension is a modern take on the RPG formula. In many ways, it's similar to classic Final Fantasy games, but elements such as the trajectory aspect of battles and the Dimengeon help distinguish it from other titles the developers have previously worked on.
