User blog:Moon Snail/Nintendo Direct 3/8/2018 - My reactions

Heya everyone! It's me, Moon Snail! Normally, I don't react to Nintendo Directs, but I'm reacting to this one in particular, because... well, you'll see pretty quickly. So, let's get cracking down on this one!

1. WarioWare: Gold
Neat. I haven't even considered playing any of the WarioWare games, but it's good to see the series going back to its roots after Game & Wario was a bit different. Also, 300 mini-games? That's pretty cool. Hopefully, they don't kick quality out of this quantity.

2. Dillon's Dead-Heat Breakers
Eh. I never really cared for Dillon. Maybe the fans will be happy about it.

Although, Mii furries are a blight on humanity.

3. Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story remake
Cool cool! I've always wanted to try the M&L games, so this may be a good opportunity! Maybe due in part to my vorareaphilia... One small thing, though... Why did they skip Partner's in Time!? This just baffles me. Going from one to three?

Also, I like the idea of getting to play as Bowser Jr.. There aren't a lot of details, but I quite like Bowser Jr. as a character.

4. Detective Pikachu
I still know nothing about the series. And considering the titular character sounds like that... I don't think I'm missing much.

5. Luigi's Mansion remake
WHY IS THIS NOT ON SWITCH!?!?!?!?!?

Seriously, what's the point of remaking the game when it doesn't look too much different? This is the most baffling part of the entire direct.

6. Kirby: Star Allies information
So... We can get Dedede, Meta Knight and Bandana Waddle Dee. Neat, but... How will they handle the battle against THICC Dedede when King Dedede is already on your side? Unless the Dedede you battle against is an imposter, which I could totally see being the ca- ARE THOSE THE ANIMAL BUDDIES? This is nice! Haven't seen them in person since the last GB game, I th- ' MARX!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! ' Alright, HAL. You got me sold. You got me fucking sold. I mean, I was probs gonna get this at one point either way, but this just solidifies it. Fuck yes.

7. Okami remake
Don't really care for Okami. Sorry.

8. Sushi Striker
...Eh.

The cutscenes are real nice, though.

9. Octopath Traveler
...Three sections in a row where I can't say a word because I know nothing about the series and don't care to look into them.

10. Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes
Err, make that four. Damnit.

11. Dark Souls
Nintendo Switch is the Dark Souls of Nintendo consoles.

Once again, I can't say jack shit because I don't know/care about the series.

12. Mario Tennis Aces
CHAIN CHOMP! CHAIN CHOMP CHAIN CHOMP CHAIN CHOMP CHAIN CHOMP

CHAIN CHOOOOOOOOOOOOMP!!!!!

That aside, looks pretty good. Waluigi looks legit hot and the environments look nice as hell. The new mechanics are neat as well.

Also, Nintendo, by the extreme, very low, about as likely as encountering 10 shiny Beldums in a row and catching them all in Beast Balls on first try off chance you're reading this, PLEEEEAASE don't add Pink Gold Peach or any non-Mario characters as unlockables.

13. Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker
Nice. Sorry, I don't have much to say about it. It's cool that 3DS owners get to experience it as well.

14. Undertale
Now THIS... The fact that Undertale is coming to the Switch at last... It fills you with deter-

.*Slaps self* No! That joke has been done to death!

Anyway... This doesn't affect me as much, considering I beat the game 5 times on PC already, I don't have much reason to get it, aside from letting my Mom and Dad play the game themselves when I get a Switch. Still, this is a nice victory for Undertale fans.

15. Crash N. Sane Trilogy
Welp, fuck you PS4. Your only reason that I'd consider buying you is gone with the wind. Crash is coming for every console, including PC and Switch. Maybe I'll get you for Ratchet PS4, but it's not likely.

One thing I'm interested in is how nice the game looks, despite being on inferior hardware. It's not a hand-for-hand replication, but it's impressive anyway. It's gonna be one of the nicest looking games on the Switch.

16. Little Nightmares
Eh.

18. Hyrule Warriors
Bleh. Don't like Zelda. Next.

19. ARMS stuff
Okay, cool. Don't play ARMS at all, but sure.

20. Splatoon 2 extra stuff
Now this is pretty sick. This near-launch title game is still getting content to this day. It makes the game feel... FRESH all the time! Bah-hah-hah! *Gets hit with a Burst Bomb* Ow!

And a new single-player campaign? Suh-weet! I heard a lot of people wanted to play as an Octoling, so good for them.

21. The REAL Atom Bomb
Okay. So uh... Let's take a deep breath here... *Inhales* Okay... I dunno. I think I need another. One, two, three... *Inhales*

 * Pant, pant, pant, pant...* Sorry guys, it's just... Me and tons of others have been wanting this for so long, and at last, it's here. I can't wait to see the new characters as well. Inklings are here, which makes me a very happy Zangoose.

Also, nice way of presenting the game. I legit thought it was gonna be a Splatoon game for 3DS. Good on you, Nintendo.

Overall
This was probably the best Direct we've had in YEARS. I got hype in at least five points. Seriously, if this doesn't convince you to get a switch, nothing will.

Also, we've got Undertale on Switch, Crash on Switch, and several others, like Skyrim, Stardew Valley, Dark Souls, and Yooka-Laylee, so...

Where are Cuphead and A Hat in Time?

Eh, I think I'm asking a little too much. They dumped a lot of epic stuff this time, so I should certainly be thankful.

Anywho... That's about it! Seeya!
