#new denpa men switch

[helldidntwantme]

The New Denpa Men for the Switch:

I haven't played any of the 3DS Denpa Men games so I couldn't fully tell you if New Denpa Men for Switch is faithful to them or not, but I'm enjoying New Denpa so far. New Denpa Men uses a f2p model with optional micro transactions. Currently I don't see anything that you can't get with jewels (the premium currency) that you can't also get through grinding in game for free. You get a gem the first time you defeat a dungeon, for instance.

There's also a stamina system where each dungeon you enter takes some of your stamina and if you don't have enough stamina you can't enter the dungeon. Stamina renews again over time, or you can use jewels for an immediate refill.

I love games with silly little guys and Denpa Men is definitely a game with silly little guys. I'm not sure if they're randomly generated or if there are pre-made guys, but your guys grow as you progress throughout the game and some of the guys are more special than the other guys, and the way you catch them to add them to your party is fun. There is armor you can equip to boost their stats and make them look cute and silly.

As far as combat goes, it's very simple, about on par with Miitopia. You tell your Denpa Men to attack, guard, use a skill or item, or run away, and that's basically it. Sometimes they'll use skills without you telling them to. Healing, whether through skills or items, does not take priority in battle, so I've had a couple of faints from poorly timed heals and low hp. If you're having this problem, try switching armor or Denpa Men with higher speed.

The simple combat might be a turn off for more die hard RPG fans or anyone wanting more of a challenge. It definitely feels like a free to play game, but I haven't felt bombarded by attempts at cash grabs yet. The NPC that offered me jewels for 99¢ was hidden in a side path in a cave on my second run of that dungeon. Which is an interesting approach, almost kind of like an "Oh you're grinding? Care for the good stuff~?" kind of approach to me. (Although I could have just missed him on my first run) There are also higher level monsters cornered away in the dungeons that you can always come back to later which is a nice touch.

The game has a YouTube channel in English and Japanese that goes a little more in depth on some of the game's features, and I imagine will post update videos when the game gets an update.

Seasonal/limited time events seem to be planned for the game. There was even a small fruit themed dungeon event going when I started the game on launch day.

So TLDR should you play The New Denpa Men on the Switch?

Watch the trailer and if it's something you think you'd enjoy, go ahead and download it and give it a try. It's free. It definitely gives me a more casual/kid friendly kind of vibe but sometimes those can be nice. But if watching the trailer didn't excite you, then the game probably won't either.

Who's making Mario and Luigi Brothership?

I'm really really excited for Mario and Luigi Brothership! I've been with the series for a long time and to finally see a completely new entry that so faithfully emulates the style of the past game while still having unique character design, and really good animation has me hyped! But after watching the trailer and screaming for a bit I had one question. Who's actually making this game? Alpha dream went bankrupt in 2019, and the studio has been gone since. As to where their staff ended up we know that Hiroyuki Kubota is at Monolith Soft, Yoshihiko Maekawa supervised the Super Mario RPG Remake and according to Stealth40k on Twitter several of the senior staff that worked on Dream Team still work with Nintendo. The director of both the Superstar Saga Remake and the BiS remake ended up working at ILCA as quality assurance support on Sand Land. The point being is that the Alpha dream staff are scattered about the industry and aren't really at one studio. It's possible that some of them are working on Brothership but we most likely won't know until release. So I started to research Nintendo development partners that have experience with RPGs and here's what I've come up with so far. -Monolith Soft( Most notable for their franchise Xenoblade but also worked on Baten Kaitos, they're notable since they've provided support for a lot of recent Nintendo games including Splatoon 3 and Tears of the Kingdom) -Intelligent Systems ( Notable mainly for FE, but recently developed the Paper Mario Thousand Year Door remaster) -Genius Sonority( Developed Pokemon Colloseum and XD Gale of Darkness, are currently working on the New Denpa Men that was announced in the direct) Camelot ( Though they're known for their more recent works on Mario Sport titles, they made the goat Golden Sun) ILCA (Recently worked on BDSP, has an former Alphadream director as well as other staff) Arte Piazza Ltd. (Has a lot, and I do mean a lot of experience on RPGS and were recently on the Super Mario RPG remake) My best guess so far would probably be ILCA? Since I don't believe they're working on anything outside of porting One Piece Odyssey to Switch, they have several previous Alphadream staff and they have at least worked on a Nintendo Franchise before being Pokemon. But it could also be a brand new studio that Nintendo hasn't worked with before or an inhouse team! We really won't know until the game releases. But I can't wait to find out who made this game so I can thank them profusely for bringing back one of my childhood favorites.

Here's the sites I used if y'all wanna learn more! Plus the link to Stealth's tweet and other resources https://www.mobygames.com/ https://www.mariowiki.com/List_of_Mario_%26_Luigi:Superstar_Saga%2B_Bowser%27s_Minions_staff#Producers https://x.com/Stealth40k/status/1803226827080491008

Sofie's Belated Reactions to Today's Nintendo Direct:

Mario & Luigi: Brothership

I'D KNOW THOSE CRIES OF TERROR ANYWHERE

BEES

LOOK AT MY BOY GO!!!!! YOU MOMENTARILY DEFY THOSE GRAVITIES MAN!!

Wasn't sure about the visuals for the new Mario & Luigi game but they very swiftly grew on me!

ADORABLE CHILD CONNIE I LOVE YOUR HAT

I already love the Extension Corps mini boss squad

"Brothership" is the best title for a Mario & Luigi game oh my word.

(More below the cut!)

Nintendo World Championship: NES Edition

Neato! Nintendo-sanctioned online speedrunning competitions is not something I expected in this Direct, or at all, but I'm happy to see it!

This is reminding me of my goal to speedrun the first Luigi's Mansion game and see what my personal best is... I gotta do that sometime.

Fairy Tale 2

I don't go here but I'm happy for all you Fairy Tale enthusiasts out there!

FANTASIAN: Neo Dimension

WHOA WHOA WHOA did the announcer just say the creator of Final Fantasy created this game??????

I don't go here either but it looks fun!

Nintendo Switch Sports (free update)

MIO: Memories in Orbit

I'm digging the visuals for this!!! Not sure what I'm looking at, but I like it!

OH??????? RAIN WORLD-ESQUE ROBOT CHARACTER????? I'M LISTENING OuO

I absolutely adore this player character design oh my word

THE ENVIRONMENTSSSSSS OH MY GOLLY GEE WILLICKERS

NINTENDO YOU CAN'T JUST SHOW ME THIS TRAILER WITH NO COMMENTARY AND DROP A RELEASE WINDOW WITHOUT ANY FURTHER COMMENT. I NEED TO KNOW MORE.

Disney Illusion Island (free update)

Not many thoughts here other than I absolutely LOVE the pin connecting mini game idea.

Hello Kitty Island Adventure

OH MY GOSH HI HELLO KITTY HIIIIII

There's a Sanrio game with character customization????? EXCUSE ME??????? MY SANRIO-SONA IS PENDING YOU GUYS.

WHERE is Tuxedo Sam. WHERE is My Melody. WHERE are my children.

THERE THEY ARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nintendo this can't launch next year, I need it NOW

Looney Tunes: Wacky World of Sports

Oh they had to get people's attention for this with Lola Bunny, huh

The lineart effect being blurred and pixelated in places even in the trailer does not bode well in my eyes (they are the eyes of someone playing Pokemon Scarlet)

It's a fun cartoony idea for a party game though! I like it!

Among Us (free update)

No comment beyond I still have never played a game of Among Us. I don't know if I could survive a public lobby.

Farmagia

OH MY WORRRRRRRRD

Digimon / Pokemon / Harvest Moon / Stardew Valley / Ooblets combo punch of a game I LOVE YOU

Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake

INSTANTLY IN LOVE WITH VISUALS FOR THIS. I AUDIBLY GASPED SEEING THEM AND SENT MY BOYFRIEND INTO A FIT OF GIGGLES

In a perfect world, all HD remakes of 2D games would look like this photo-bashing beauty instead of uncute 3D adaptations (side-eyes the Diamond and Pearl remakes)

I think I might enter the series with this game, or maybe 1 or 2 when they launch. I LOVE THE VISUALS.

Funko Fusion

Exclaiming that I hate this game and then listening in shock and horror as my boyfriend tells me there's two or three other Funko Pop games on Switch

Bonding over our shared distaste for Funk Pops with my boyfriend right now. This is true romance.

Luigi's Mansion 2 HD

Seeing the tagline "Spooky, Silly, and Strategic" and PRAYING it's the Luigi's Mansion 2 HD's launch trailer

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH

The New Denpa Men

Got jumpscared by the Denpa Men character and immediately fell in love.

Unironically adore the character design of Denpa Men. I gotta get this thing.

Metal Slug Attack Reloaded

I'd rather play Battle Cats. Sorry guys.

Darkest Dungeon II

I have no words, only polite applause as I wait for the next drop to enthrall me.

Switch Online Expansion Pack

I miss the Four Swords companion manga!!!!! I loved that thing!!!!!!

"AND" says the announcer, followed by a black screen and dead silence, causing me to burst into laughter.

Phantom Brave: The Lost Hero

*gets yeeted offscreen* AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA---

I like the eye designs in this! Very fun!

Marvel VS. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics

My dreams of learning a fighting game and getting really good at it... they are returning........ I gotta main Peach on Smash Bros...........

Learning about fighting games and the concept of infinites from my boyfriend and feeling myself wither at the realization it's just a matter of reaching your infinite before your opponent in order to win.

Super Mario Party Jamboree

Boyfriend exclaimed in utter glee when this little guy came on screen and I got to hear about how much he likes them!!!!! My man is adorable!!!!!!!

I gotta get this...... I've never played Mario Party before and I need to main Goomba or Shy Guy.............

Learning about the legacy of Mario Party 4 from Boyfriend and I'm utterly enraptured

The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom

THE LEGEND OF LINK EVERYBODY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I finally can play Zelda for the first time since Spirit Tracks!!!! And it'll be for realsies this time!!!!!

I LOVE THIS GUY I LOVE THIS I LOVE THIS GUY I WAS GENUINELY SPEECHLESS WHEN I SAW THIS GUY I LOVE YOU LITTLE GUY I LOVE YOU

I'm playing this game for Tri oh my word. The gameplay mechanics are amazing but Tri is the number one reason I'm gonna play and fall in love with this game

I love how this game is so much more strategic than straight-up combat focused!!!! We're playing Zelda mode lads!!!!

Putting September 26 on my calendar POST-HASTE

Just Dance 2025

Lego Horizon Adventures

Lego adaptation of Playstation and Window exclusive video game supremacy!!!!!

Stray

MY BABY BOYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!! THE KITTY MAN!!!!!!!!

I've already played this but I'm so happy it's getting an adaptation for Switch!

Tales of the Shire

I still need to read Tolkien's works so bad ;w;

Not going to play this most likely, but I enjoy the idea of a cozy LotR game regardless!

Ace Attorney Investigations Collection

*SCREAMS LOUDLY*

YOU CAN SWITCH BETWEEN THE NEW ART AND THE ORIGINAL PIXEL ART???????? I'M SOLD

The Hundred Line - Last Defense Academy

Squinting during the whole trailer while trying to figure out if it's made by the team who made Danganronpa

Metroid Prime 4 Beyond

MARBLE TRACK SAMUS GO WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Boyfriend and I are weeping and wailing at how this game looks compared to Scarlet and Violet

Conclusion

TLOZ ECHOES OF WISDOM BEST GAME Y'ALL!!!!!!!!

[moonfang256]

Alright, now the first thing I've to say about this Nintendo Direct is:

AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

The first time I saw this (and I saw that style) I screamed and simply said "YES, THEY'RE BACK!!!". Just couldn't hold it, haha.

Also I love the graphics, it looks very good. ❤️

------

Now, moving on with the other games:

☆"Mio", "Disney Illusion Island", "Hello Kitty", "Funko Fusion", "The new Denpa men", "Metal Slug", "Stray", "The Lord of the Rings" and "Ace Attorney" drawn my attention (the other games are good too).

☆ Are the Dragon Quest games going to have a remake? I remember playing only the first one a long time ago (definitely I should try the others).

☆ This Mario party looks amazing and fun (so many modes to play).

☆ Well, would you look at that? The princess is finally making honor to the title (so many people in the past called "Link" as "Zelda" because of it *smirks*)

Anyway, I like the "Link's Awakening" design it has (it's really a nice touch) and the way to play it's quite interesting gotta say.

*sigh* I wish I had a Nintendo Switch to play it, but I think I'll settle by watching some else playing it.

☆ Now I'm going to be honest with you, I've never played a Metroid in my life (I probably will at some point), but I've to say this looks wonderful and I'm so happy for the Metroid fans.

Let me share your excitement with a sip of Pepsi. Cheers! 🎉

------

Well, that's all I have to say. This direct really left me speechless.

Now I'm going to wait patiently for the "Mother Direct". I'm curious to see what new fangames and games there will be. 😊

Thoughts on the Last Nintendo Direct for the Switch?

It was alright. A lot of people are very excited by what was shown but, I dunno.

A lot of modern Mario RPGs are pretty hit-or-miss, so Brothership isn't necessarily an instant win for me.

Nintendo World Championship could be interesting. It's probably a better take on the NES Remix idea than previous games, and the way they're doing online multiplayer could prove to be pretty cool. It's a shame it isn't live, but I suppose racing against ghosts means you don't have to worry about latency.

The thing is, with both NES Remix and this, I also want the option to just... play the full versions of these games. No timers, no competitions, just the raw games. But Nintendo's not going to do that. They'd also rather have you subscribe to their NSO service, too.

Fantasian is mostly interesting to me for the fact that a lot of the backgrounds are effectively pre-rendered -- but not using CGI. They apparently made realworld dioramas using actual model making material and photographed them. That's cool. The rest of the game seems like generic JRPG fluff.

I've tried over and over to like Donkey Kong Country Returns, both on the Wii and the 3DS, and it just rubs me the wrong way. I've said it's something weird with the controls feeling sluggish, but I think it's also the level design. It feels like it stretches some of its ideas pretty thin. Like we did not need a whole world dedicated to minecart levels. I'd hope the DKCR remaster is the version I'd finally enjoy, but I don't have my hopes up.

It's cool to see the "HD-2D" Dragon Quest games, at last. Those old phone versions they have on the Switch are awful. But also the only DQ game I've ever connected with was the demo for DQ8, so I dunno how much this tickles my fancy. But I've also never given a real one of these games a chance.

Hearing "timed exclusive for the Nintendo Switch" for Denpa Men is weird, given that was a 3DS game. I always thought it was first party. Is this also coming out on PS4? PC? Very strange.

Glad to hear about the Marvel Vs. Collection. I was just scrolling through my XBLA library on my 360 a few days ago and lamenting how I only own MvC2 and not MvC1, even though I like MvC1 better. Weird it's apparently only coming out for last gen; there aren't native PS5/SX versions of this or the Ace Attorney Collection. Just PS4/Xbone/Switch. With backwards compatibility I guess they don't have to bother with a native version, but still. Weird.

Zelda looks good and is a long time coming but I wish it wasn't so different. Like I have faith it'll be interesting but it does disappoint me it's going to be more puzzle-y and not an action game. After so many years of asking for the ability to play as Zelda, for them to say "well she CAN'T swing a sword like Link!" feels a little compromise-y. I'm sure it'll be fine.

That was not enough Metroid Prime 4. They picked the most unceremonious, least exciting way to show it, too. I actually thought it was them announcing remasters of Prime 2 + 3 like they did with Metroid Prime 1, because it's just generic "shooting nameless space pirates to metroid prime music" footage until the end.

Rewatching it, I can definitely see how people are saying it's a Switch 2 game, though. Like that Metroid Prime remaster seemed like it looked really pretty, but this feels like a step above what the Switch is normally capable of, at least as far as 60fps goes. Like compare for yourself. Prime remastered on the left, Prime 4 on the right.

Look at the ridges in her shoulder panels, and how they're a 3D modeled groove with inset detail in Prime 4. That detail is probably just a texture in the Prime remaster. And just, like, how much better the material work is overall.

I could see this being 1080p 60 on Switch 2 but only 30 on the OG Switch.

Also please show me new guns or mechanics or something next time.

[weird-gay-disaster]

Things of note for me in the recent Direct:

I saw a split second shot of that demon-looking guy (found out his name is Bloodman) from that Fairy Tail The Squeakuel game thing. He looks hot & cool and totally isn't just a side-villain that no one remembers right??? 😁(🥲)

"hollow knight" Huh...? What...???

THEY ACTUALLY PORTED THE JAPAN-EXCLUSIVE "DENPA MEN" GAME I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO KNOWS WHAT THIS IS!!!

I was interested in that Stray game before realizing how boring it is and remembering how much orientalism was in it.

"WHERE'S SILKSONG" Silk...what? Is that a Marvel movie, or...?

There's this huge yellow demon dude in that Farmagia game and that's probably the only reason I will remember that.

I remember when I thought deciding to 100% Donkey Kong Country Returns on the Wii was a good idea, and I loved it when the announcement of the Switch port brought back so many amazing terrible memories.

Good thing they're releasing Ace Attorney Investigations so I can totally play it and not just shamelessly lust over Di-Jun Huang for very specific reasons

If you buy that Funko Pop game, I WILL bully you.

I vaguely remember 3 anime pervert games in this Direct.

Probably would've been more excited for Echoes of Wisdom if TOTK's story & writing of Zelda didn't suck ass.

WHO THE FUCK KEEPS BUYING THESE JUST DANCE GAMES

That new Saga remake had a hot demon for a split second.

[noelledeltarune]

THE DENPA MEN ARE COMING TO SWITCH WHAT THE FUUUCK WHY DID NO ONE TELL ME???!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!????? THAT IS TOP PRIORITY NEWS I LOVED THEM ON 3DS….. is it like a new one or a port of the old ones. denpa men 4?

[waluigis-elbow]

playing the new denpa men on switch

it’s silly so far

[raredrop]

the new denpa men game isnt...great but im still enjoying it at least

its just a mobile game but on switch (idk if it is a port of the actual mobile game? i dont know much about the series ive only kinda played bits of the 2nd and 3rd games)

the translation feels weird, like im pretty sure the characters always had a "quirky" way of speaking but it does feel...somewhat off? (maybe its just me) theres also several spelling errors i came across

stamina runs out quick, you have 5 stamina and normal dungeons take 1 stamina and event dungeons take 2, i did get an infinite 1hr stamina drop at some point tho

the difficulty jumps up VERY quickly so you have to grind basically and have fun with the limited stamina, and replaying older levels means talking to the same npcs over and over and doing the same things beat for beat like i kinda wish they made it so replaying dungeons removed some of the story mechanics...im getting tired of the guy telling me that "i was ok in the volcano once" IT WAS LIKE 4 TIMES AT THIS POINT

otherwise you have to wait for a specific day of the week for the exp event dungeon to pop up

also the healing spots are now one time use, i guess they didnt want us to spam them so you could lose more often and be tempted by spending jewels (prem currency or found in dungeons and such) to continue

BUT DO NOT CALL IT "MIITOPIA"

[g4zdtechtv]

Cinematech's Trailer Park - The New Denpa Men (Switch)

You can’t see them with the naked eye, but you can find them and catch them on the Nintendo Switch system!

[game-boy-pocket]

Nintendo Direct Thoughts

I just woke up and had a look, not expecting much given this is one of those "we're at the end of the Switch's life" Directs but honestly I was surprised.

We start with a brand new Mario and Luigi game... we've been getting lots of remakes for Mario RPGs but this is a new one and honestly was the one I expected to get a new game the least out of all of them. To tell the truth I would have preferred a continuation of SMRPG or a new traditional Paper Mario over this, cuz a party made up of just Mario and Luigi was novel when Luigi wasn't appearing in as many games but now it feels boring by comparison. I wish they would do more with the idea of adding on surprise guest party members, like how the 2nd game had the Baby Bros and the Third game had Bowser, then Paper Mario, but after that it just a weird version of Luigi? idk man. This looks neat, I'm glad the franchise isn't dead. I'll think about picking it up. Probably not a day 1 purchase. I do hope other Mario RPGs have a chance at continuing too though.

I still think the Nintendo World Championships is pointless.

Not interested in Fairy Tail, I only ever read a bit of the Manga, I'd like to check out the anime but lisenced anime games are a hard sell for me. Wish they'd just make another One Piece Grand Battle style game.

Don't care about Fantasian, Nintendo Switch Sports has a bad reputation and I don't care about sports anyway so that's a pass, pass on Mio, pass on Disney, pass on Hello Kitty, give me a sequel to the Keroppi platformer for the NES and then we'll talk, It's weird to see Loney Tunes in a video game. That Porky Pig voice was rough. I don't have hopes for it, Don't care about Among Us or Farmagia...

Donkey Kong Country Returns... not a new game, and they didn't announce any new playable characters or features aside from levels from the 3DS version, and I wish they gave DK and Diddy more of a facelift, but i'll take it, a way to play DKCR on the big screen, hopefully without the motion controls, is a win... but please Nintendo.... give us a new DK game...

Dragon Quest III 2DHD. I am very mixed about the whole 2D HD thing, I don't think it looks good. Never have. This looks a lot better than Octopath to me but I still don't like it. Also, I respectfully disagree with Mr. Horii. Playing the games in chronological order is not the best way to experience the Erdrick Trilogy, and that's a pretty dumb thing to say. That's like telling someone to read a Murder Mystery but start with the final chapter. The big twist in DQ3 will be meaningless to those who haven't played, at the very least, DQ1... I'm glad all 3 games are getting the treatment. I am a big fan of the trilogy so even though I don't care for the whole 2D HD thing, I'll pick it up, and who knows, maybe the style will grow on me.

Funko is a fucking joke. I'm ehh about Luigi's Mansion 2 but I might pick it up anyway if I have extra cash burning a hole in my pocket and I really want a new game. Don't care about Denpa Men, Would prefer Traditional Metal Slug, Don't care about Darkest Dungeon, Don't care about NSO but it's nice that those games are now available for people, Phantom Braves has a cute art style but i'm not interested in the gameplay, Marvsl and Capcom arcade collection might be worth a look but idk, I'm no good at fighting games, so i'd only be in it for the beat em ups.

I tried to like Mario Party but I just can't get into that style of game. I want to like it because I love the Mario series but it's just not fun for me, either with friends or going it alone, I hate board games irl, making them video games doesn't actually help, and I think the minigames are just not fun and over too quickly.

I wish I was excited about our first new 2D Zelda in a long time. But Link has always been...ugh... I guess you could call him a "comfort character" for me. I never liked Princess Zelda that much, and I enjoy the combat in Zelda games a lot, so a game without Link and without Combat.... I am apprehensive. The one thing that might save this game for me is that it has hints of monster taming. Not like... real monster taming, you're creating copies, so it's not like your bonding with monster companions, but it's still monster vs monster, and that's something I'd love to see expanded on. Give me a full on Zelda monster tamer.... I hope this isn't "The new direction for 2D Zelda" the way BOTW is for 3D Zelda though. I was kinda hoping 2D Zelda would keep traditional Zelda alive while 3D Zelda continued being open air.

More headlines, I don't care about just dance, never was a fan of legos, stray was interesting when it was first announced but the novelty wore off after watching ppl play it, there's a lot of games like lately. Don't care about the Hobbit, and i'm sorry, I'm sorry, I know I don't care about a lot of things and I know t he franchise has a lot of fans but I just don't care about Ace Attourney. And don't care about Hunted Line, looks edgy. I know SaGa has a legacy, but I'd prefer to try an older game before thinking about checking out a new one.

Metroid Prime 4 looks interesting. We have Sylux with some Metroids following him around. We have orchestral sounding music. It's definitely Metroid Prime alright. Can't wait to play it for myself.

Despite how often I said "don't care" I'd call this a good direct.

TLDR, Metroid is the most exciting thing there, I'm happy for the DKCR remake, I'm apprehensive about Zelda but I'm gonna try it. Mario and Luigi i'll probably pick up some day.

So that June Direct, huh?

Not gonna lie, that was pretty wild. But let's not waste any time as I dive into my thoughts on it!

Mario & Luigi: Brothership; Alpha Dream's baby has been pulled from the grave, and visually looks amazing NES World Championship; time to sweat like the try-hardiest tryhard out there Fairy Tail 2; Never cared about Fairy Tail, don't intend to Fantasian Neo Dimension; It was there, I guess Switch Sports Basketball; Show of hands, who even remembered this game exists? Memories in Orbit; Huh... well that was... strange Disney Illusion Island update; Tbh, this just seems like holdover for Rebrushed a tad bit Hello Kitty Island Adventure; Oh yeah, hello kitty is a thing Looney Tunes: Wacky World of Sports; That visual style... god it looks insultingly cheap Among Us new roles; Anyone else think Among Us just... fell off? Farmagia; Honestly, I thought this was just more Fairy Tail for a hot sec Donkey Kong Country Returns HD; I'd prefer a new title, but I'll take it Dragon Quest HD-2D remakes; Feel like you should have dropped the Remake from the title and just stuck with the "HD-2D" part. It flows way better that way Funko Fusion; Anyone else just... not get the hype of funkos? Luigi's Mansion 2 HD; How many times have we seen Dark Moon HD in directs again? The New Denpa Men; What are these, poor men's Miis? Metal Slug Attack Reloaded; Alright, which is better: Metal Slug or Contra? Darkest Dungeon 2; A lot of my friends were excited about this. Personally, eh new NSO games; Don't have NSO, so why should I care? Phantom Brave: The Lost Hero; It was there, I guess MVC Fighting Collection; WE GETTIN TAKEN FOR A RIDE WITH THIS ONE!! IT'S MAHVEL TIME, BAYBEEE!! Super Mario Party Jamboree; C'mon Nintendo, we haven't seen Wario's Battle Canyon in years! where's the Wario take on Remember the Alamo? Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom; It's cool and all that Zelds gets her own game and all, but I think you all have gotten my stance on the Zelda series by this point Just Dance 2025; OH MY GOD, THEY HAVE A FACE?! Lego Horizons Adventures; I'd probably be more interested if this wasn't shown at SGF about two weeks ago Stray; Cute cat is cute. Need I say more? Tales of the Shire; So that stuff about living in a Hobbit hole and getting lit 24/7? I think someone just found a way to live their dream Ace Attorney Investigations Collection; OBJECTION!! This looks cool, but I'm not that interested The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy; Group of 10-20 kids stuck in a school? Death around every corner? That artstyle? Let's face it, they are never beating the Danganronpa allegations (Why did the trailer's start remind me of the Shadow Fandub?" Romancing Saga 2; It was there, I guess Metroid Prime 4: Beyond; THE PRIME 4!!! THE PRIME 4 IS REAAAAAAALLLLL!!!

I think Nontendo is finally starting to pick themselves up. After a couple of generally mediocre directs in recent memory, we finally had something of banger substance!

(Ok who wants to bet whether Prime 4 is on Switch or the next console?)

Thoughts on the Nintendo Direct!

New Mario and Luigi game. Cool! Let's hope it's good, unlike the last few

Don't really care about Nintendo World Championship or the Fairy Tale game.

That RPG looks cool, might pick it up if it goes on sale.

I don't give a shit about Nintendo Switch Sports

Mio looks cool, I think it's a metroidvania from the brief look but it's hard to tell. The art is lovely though and I'm almost certainly going to grab it at some point. Definitely giving Hollow Knight which is one of my favorite games.

Don't care about Disney, I honestly don't know anyone who played Illusion Island.

Honestly the Hello Kitty game looks kinda cute, might pick it up for my sister because she loves Sanrio.

Don't care about Looney Tunes or sports games so this does nothing for me.

Among Us stuff that we already knew, nothing surprising.

Ooh you can tell this guy worked on Fairy Tale lmao. Honestly I don't care about another farming sim monster collector. Somehow that specific genre mix has become overplayed. Also the name is dumb.

Oh, I was hoping for a new Donkey Kong Country game but it's a remake. Eh. I don't really care about it unless they add something new which they probably won't.

Oh yay, another remake of a game I don't care about. They'll probably charge full price for it, too. The pixel art is very pretty though. Why are they releasing 3 before 1 and 2 though? I'm happy for the Dragon Quest fans, just not a series I like. Maybe if they're not full price I'll try them. Maybe I'll just emulate the originals.

A funko game? Conceptually kinda funny actually. It's giving Lego Dimensions. But I hate Funko and think they look like garbage so I won't under any circumstances be buying this game.

Pretty sure we already knew Luigi's Mansion 2 was coming to switch but it's my favorite game in the series so I'm still excited.

This reads like a game from the ps2 era that never got adapted in English and finally the cult fandom is going to be excited but I have never heard of Denpa Men so I don't care.

Not a metal slug fan so I don't care.

I tried Darkest Dungeon, wasn't for me. But I know it's really good and popular so I'm still excited for other people for the sequel, but I hope it's not an exclusive.

I don't have NSO so I don't care about NSO stuff. Also I've already emulated Zero Mission and that's the only one of these I care about.

Another entry in a series I've not heard of, and Marona's voice is really annoying, so no chance I pick it up.

I don't play fighting games or beat em ups.

New Mario Party. Rad. I wish I were more excited but we've had exactly one decent entry in the last dozen so... not optimistic. Playable Ninji is fun though. Motion controls are gross though. Don't care about the 20 player mode, it looks like just a minigame rush and they made it 20 player so they could technically say the new game is 20 players.

NEW 2D ZELDA LET'S GO! And Zelda is playable? Amazing. I'm not the biggest fan of the artstyle, it's not bad just not my favorite, but still I'm excited. I doubt it'll be very... plotty, but still cool. The lack of actual combat is kinda dumb though.

Don't give a shit about Just Dance. Or pop music, actually. Also their subscription is ridiculous and awful.

A Horizon Lego game? That's. Not something I think anyone wanted. Especially since there hasn't been a good Lego game in years.

I don't really care about Stray being ported to Switch. Good game but one I've already played, I'm not going to buy it again.

LotR life sim? Sure. Why not. Might as well. I don't know, it's fine but not like. Life changing or anything.

I would care more about Ace Attorney Investigations if... you know... the games were any good. Unfortunately they suck so whatever. It's nice that Investigations 2 is finally available in English officially though.

Generic anime tactics game. It's giving Danganronpa but worse. Which makes sense because it's made by the DR devs. Maybe I'll play it, maybe there won't be any transphobia this time.

Another RPG I don't care about.

Prime 4. Huh. I mean cool I guess but like. I really wish they'd rerelease 2 and 3 first. Also this 100% confirms to me that they're not planning on releasing a new console soon. No way they'd announce this big of a release and have it be on a console that they're going to make obsolete soon.
