A solid, well-rounded Direct. Pyra and Mythra were the stars of this show, no doubt, but I think we have a suitable collection of games to look forward to, regardless of tastes. Probably no GOTY material, but good games to keep things moving along until some heavy hitters are unveiled later on. I sense Nintendo's still holding it's best cards for the time being, so this was just to remind us that it still has these kinds of Directs in its repertoire for later. Great reactions!
@꧁ Joshua Schaefer ꧂ I suppose you have a point. I wasn't trying to downplay the Splatoon 3 announcement here; I was quite surprised by it myself, actually. Be that as it may, I was actually referring to something we could see this year and involving one of Nintendo's top-tier franchises (I don't think Splatoon's *quite* there yet, but it's making strides). But yes, it's only natural to have some hype-worthy to cap off such a presentation, and S3 did that job here.
@@KingKP96 I respect your enthusiasm for the Triangle Strategy and its spiritual predecessor of sorts, but I'm not sure if Nintendo is banking on the game having THAT kind of impact, especially from a commercial perspective. Naturally, this doesn't mean that SRPG fans can't be excited about it, but we can be sure it's not going to have the ability to sell out Switch consoles or something to that effect. The best we can hope for is that it gives the genre new life, which would be a great thing in itself. But that's about as high of a bar I'm willing to raise.
I was most hyped for Samurai Warriors 5 but also because the alliance between Koei Tecmo and Nintendo now that's yielded stuff like that and Age of Calamity may eventually yield a revisit to the far overlooked Pokémon Conquest. Also I like Warriors games in general.
Splatoon 3 and Mario Golf were my hyped reveals from this Direct. The Xenoblade takeout was the best troll move I have ever seen. Also watching it back I should have realized that Rex and pyra were talking to each other on Final Destination cause of the rocks on the background. It was there the whole time. Brilliant move by Sakurai
**Nintendo shows Story Mode for Mario Golf** me: Oh, nice, that reminds me of the Mario Tennis for GBA that I loved soon after, jess: I was so obsessed with Mario Tennis on Gameboy
I saw an abundance of hate in the live stream on Nintendo's channel when Pyra and Mythra showed up, but I’m not mad in the slightest, even if it is another sword fighter. I dig the female representation, *especially* for Pyra and Mythra!
The thing that gets me about some folks' complaints about swordfighters, is that the majority of the "swordfighters" have other utilities and moves that set them apart for one another. The only basic swordfighters are Marth, Lucina, Roy, Chrom, and to a somewhat lesser extent, Ike. Really, though, when I think about characters like Doomguy or Master Chief, my first thought is "Okay, what would they REALLY bring them to the table, that sets them apart from someone like Snake?" There's probably some good answers to that question. I've never played Doom or Halo, so I don't know much about those games other than the fact that they're FPS games.
ive been looking at direct reactions for over a week now and im not sure how i never got this one in my search until today, but your energy is incredible. the shouting you edited in during Speed Golf and the dodgeball thing caught me so off-guard and i love it a lot!! thank u thank u blessed be
We caused these destruction when we let team Caos win on the final fest in Splatoon 2. Also we got to tell people a simple motion is enough on SS you don't have to do a full swing like a real sword lol a lot of people had trouble with that
My hype came from Zelda Skyward Sword HD and the Mario themed items in Animal Crossing!! I’ve been wanting to play Skyward Sword with traditional controls for a long time!
Check out the LoZ anime for more contradiction to this voiceless protagonist canon. My personal headcanon: Link talks, but his commentary and voice don't fit the serious nature of the games. "I'll grab my stuff!" and "I can't wait to kill some dodongos!" are some famous examples.
Honestly I'm hyped for the world game, pyra, ss hd, splats 3 and honestly even expanded age of calamity and even the Famicom mystery games and no more heroes, and I'm going to say that your reactions are pretty awesome and rather adorable
The s platoon trailer made me excited because I thought it looked like splatoon set in an apocalyptic era and it was gonna be more story focused while still providing online olay
They actually made two Mario Sports games with multiple sports: Mario Sports Mix for the Wii (basketball, volleyball, dodgeball, and hockey) and Mario Sports Superstars on the 3DS (soccer, baseball, tennis, golf, and horse racing for some reason). I don't think they were particularly well received, though, because none of the sports were too fleshed out.
I'm so excited for this year of the Nintendo Switch. Nintendo, thank you for being the future of gaming, and thank you Jess for this amazing video. J'aime le Canada!!!! 日本が大好きです!!!
Jess you HAVE to play through Xenoblade 1 and 2 sometime!!! The first one is my favorite game of all time, the story is literally the same caliber as other famous jrpgs like FF7. No joke.
haha you're hilarious Jesss! I love your reactions every time. I'm glad you didnt have my level of perception, I knew it was a smash reveal in less than a second. ("this footage is not actual gameplay" is what gave it away) but ya im glad fall guys is coming to switch and the ACNL warp pipe is pretty cool. I might get the golf game, but that was about it for me
@@controlsixtyfour That's not exactly accurate either. I seem to recall a couple of occasions when they revealed more than one Smash character in the same event (Ken/Incineroar).
I tried Splatoon 1 and I just wasn't too much of a fan of the actual game, but i would be lying if the franchise wouldn't just ooze style! The presentaion has always been amazing
@10:53 I’ma lefty too!! And Link was one of my favorite Nintendo characters ‘cause he was a lefty!! But when Eiji Aonuma took over the Zelda franchise, he changed Link into a righty and he forced all of us to hold/use the Wiimote with our right hand, I was so made!! Link was my left-handed hero I grew up with, to see a lefty in a video game franchise made me feel represented. But Eiji Aonuma ruined that when he changed Link into just another righty Swordsman taking away what made him special and unique to begin with!! 😡🤦🏻♂️
It's always funny to see someone that hasn't played the reveal trailer's character original game trying to not be obvious about the fact that they haven't played it.
1:06 PREPARE YOURSELF,PREPARE YOURSELF (for headphone users)
Seriously, I gave been searing for that for years! WHERE DOES THIS COME FROM?! D:
I've been hoping for pyra and mythra or rex since basically the beginning. This got me so hyped and happy.
One of us
One of us
We celebrate today
Same here! I’m so excited! Definitely my new main or secondary character
I mean Rex was deconfirmed since the introduction of the DLCs since he was just a Mii costume
Same
And there Add to smash.
I love that more ladies have joined the roster! One of them is one of my favorites!!
When I saw splatoon 3 I was jumping and crying or happynes
Same same same
I couldn’t get excited because I’m banned on switch 😢
@@ragashii1665 if ur switch is bricked you can just make a new Nintendo account and buy a new one...lol

@꧁ Joshua Schaefer ꧂ last time ended with ACNH and Xenoblade, though
I'd bet on Splatoon 3 being GOTY, just for next year LOL
✨ Let me know which reveal YOU were most HYPED about &/or what you'd like to see in the NEXT Nintendo Direct!! 👇✨
Project Triangle Strategy! And Metroid. The answer is always Metroid. :(
MARIO GOLF HOMIEEE
I was most hyped for Samurai Warriors 5 but also because the alliance between Koei Tecmo and Nintendo now that's yielded stuff like that and Age of Calamity may eventually yield a revisit to the far overlooked Pokémon Conquest. Also I like Warriors games in general.
Zelda Skyward Sword ftw. I never played it on the Wii and now in HD. Also looking forward to Rhythm Heaven, Metroid and Castlevania.
pyra and mythra is what hyped me the most I cant wait for next month
Splatoon 3 and Mario Golf were my hyped reveals from this Direct. The Xenoblade takeout was the best troll move I have ever seen. Also watching it back I should have realized that Rex and pyra were talking to each other on Final Destination cause of the rocks on the background. It was there the whole time.

Splatoon 3* lol
Splatoon 2? ??!!!!??!?!?!?!?!?!?
@@someobscuremusicchannel lmao good point. Just edited it as I was playing too much splatoon 2 recently so it was on the brain.
1:08 Jess' Toadette scream honestly gives me life
LOL. I never realize that what it sounds like until someone points it out! 🙈🤣🤣🤣
Jesss: Get you're miis out.
Subtitles: Get you're knees out.
to me the most hype thing was miitopia, and i kept challengeing the direct to hype me more than miitopia
needless to say, they did it with splatoon 3
Nice to see someone happy for more xenoblade characters
Pyra/Mythra went "Weave Snatched" "Inventation snatched!"
**Nintendo shows Story Mode for Mario Golf**
me: Oh, nice, that reminds me of the Mario Tennis for GBA that I loved
soon after, jess: I was so obsessed with Mario Tennis on Gameboy
Mario Tennis on GBC is the jam. That and Mario bros deluxe were my games outside of Pokémon gold

@@jiltedensign7479 you couldn’t be more right. I haven’t played those games either
"I yearn for true gender equality"
-Kazuma
That explains that scream I heard from so far away
LOLLLL. 🤣🤣🙈
idk Why but when Link said yup in the ss trailer I went in tears XDDDDDDDDD
Pyra and Mythra look so good here in Smash. I definitely can't wait for them
The person who know that they are in smash is Shulk himself
ive been looking at direct reactions for over a week now and im not sure how i never got this one in my search until today, but your energy is incredible. the shouting you edited in during Speed Golf and the dodgeball thing caught me so off-guard and i love it a lot!! thank u thank u blessed be
Legit best reaction.
Seemed almost every youtuber knew it was smash reveal. You on the other hand had NO IDEA AS
terrific reaction!
You're reactions mirrored mine, lol. I'll be playing Splatoon 3 too, looks so sick.
We caused these destruction when we let team Caos win on the final fest in Splatoon 2. Also we got to tell people a simple motion is enough on SS you don't have to do a full swing like a real sword lol a lot of people had trouble with that
I thought we was getting a spin off, but NOPE! I was absolutely wrong and I am happy!
My hype came from Zelda Skyward Sword HD and the Mario themed items in Animal Crossing!! I’ve been wanting to play Skyward Sword with traditional controls for a long time!
POOR REX! I GUESS HE'LL GET HIS CHANCE ANOTHER DAY!
I noticed it was Smash when the Big Battlefield floor appeared right when Pyra was going to speak.
I’ve never played any of the Xenonblade games but they’ve always interested me so I’m honestly excited for Pyra and Mythra to be in smash
I am so hyped! Skyward sword remake! Yes! I’ve never played it but I’m so HYPED!!!!!
0:32 was the moment i knew it was smash I'm so stoked for that
I secretly wanted Pnuema to be the 3rd transformation just for that overkill
Would they drop that level of a spoiler on a Smash reveal?
@@realar they would
i know some people are saying they were mostly disappointed by the direct but
im happy to see a direct again :)
I’ll never unhear Link’s “yup” now xD
Jesss: So this is happening? For real?
Link: YUP!
I thought Link didn´t talk
Check out the LoZ anime for more contradiction to this voiceless protagonist canon. My personal headcanon: Link talks, but his commentary and voice don't fit the serious nature of the games. "I'll grab my stuff!" and "I can't wait to kill some dodongos!" are some famous examples.
Most hyped for Pyra and Mythra in Smash, Fall Guys, and the Famicom Detective Club games.
Yesss! I'm actually so hyped for the Famicom Detective Club games. We need to give them more love and attention closer to/when they release! 🙌💖
@@JesssAdel Yaaasss! Please do a playthrough of it hehe xT
Sorry i couldn’t watch it with you live but I was watching it with my brother and I’m soooo hyped for Mario super golf and splatoon 3 and pyra.
Splatoon 3, Triangle Strategy (they better change that name lol), and Skyward Sword are what I’m most excited about.
Pyra/Mythra looks so beautiful^^
Music and Stage also wonderful :D
Such a great reaction ;u;
yo, Jess is totally right, Mario Tennis on the GBA was so hype, it felt like you were an actually tennis player lmao
Honestly I'm hyped for the world game, pyra, ss hd, splats 3 and honestly even expanded age of calamity and even the Famicom mystery games and no more heroes, and I'm going to say that your reactions are pretty awesome and rather adorable
The s platoon trailer made me excited because I thought it looked like splatoon set in an apocalyptic era and it was gonna be more story focused while still providing online olay
I remember playing Mario Golf on the N64 😁 good times
Dude you’re so right, the GBA Mario Tennis story mode was friggin’ great.

So excited for Pyra and Mythra Jess! Looking forward to when they release to play them! And Splatoon 3 looks cool as well! 🎮🎮
They turned Skyward Sword into Metal Gear Rising. XP
12:51 Spirited Away vibes lmao
2:44 No, like Zelda/Sheik(Melee/Brawl)
While it's not my #1 pick, which is Crash, I am so happy to see Pyra/Mythra being in Smash. All hail the Waifus
Wasn't there a Mario Sports Mix some years ago? Not to mention Mario and Sonic at the Olympic games.
Mario Sports Mix is EXACTLY what I was referring to but I want one for Switch! It's been WAY too long!
Jess you HAVE to play through Xenoblade 1 and 2 sometime!!! The first one is my favorite game of all time, the story is literally the same caliber as other famous jrpgs like FF7. No joke.
Miitopia will satiate my Tomodachi Life fix for now
Miis will live forever!
I was not hyped about anything in this direct, like, at all (except for NMH3) but I’m glad other people got hyped about it
my actual highlight was the Famicom Detective Club remake. So weird, i even played a fan translation of the SNES version a decade or 2 ago.
That's sick! I'm super excited for that one too!! We need to give it the love & attention it deserves at launch! 🤘💖
haha you're hilarious Jesss! I love your reactions every time.
I'm glad you didnt have my level of perception, I knew it was a smash reveal in less than a second. ("this footage is not actual gameplay" is what gave it away)
but ya im glad fall guys is coming to switch and the ACNL warp pipe is pretty cool. I might get the golf game, but that was about it for me
They used that "not actual gameplay" tag on the Splatoon trailer too, so maybe you can't always go by that.
@@royveldboom7266 true, I noticed that too but they already did a smash review, they're not gonna do 2 in the same direct
@@controlsixtyfour That's not exactly accurate either. I seem to recall a couple of occasions when they revealed more than one Smash character in the same event (Ken/Incineroar).
@@royveldboom7266 lol that's fair, i guess you can never really know with nintendo :P
4:43 theres mario sports mix on the wii thats like that. I hope they bring that to the switch because it was really fun.
That's exactly what I was referring to! I want a new one for the Switch-- It's been too long! 😭💖
I tried Splatoon 1 and I just wasn't too much of a fan of the actual game, but i would be lying if the franchise wouldn't just ooze style! The presentaion has always been amazing
I really wanted Kirby info, especially Kirby Fighters 2 DLC
Love that you didn’t think of Smash.
Waifu Trainer!
Not with Wiiremote? It’s awesome.
I’m hyped about this dlc 😄
Great reaction video, Jesss.
There are a few Mario sports games with several sports but no one talks about them lmao
I wonder how Mr. Aonuma feels about being accused of lying across the internet. 😂
your shirt and background suit the splatoon3 logo huahahah.
Great video keep up the good work :)
Thanks so much!! :D * Wi-Five *
Google: Hey, what's up bro, what do you wanna search for today?
Curiosity: Pyra hentai
Def gonna be gonna be playin splatoon 2 and espcially skyward sword hd ima huge zelda fan
Congratulations!
OMG Jess you are a leftie too! I asked the same question during the Direct!
I'm actually not a lefty, I care about all humans though! 😛💖
Sephiroth was in the trailer.
If jess was on a bed then she would have backflipped like she did in banjo's reveal
I am just happy
I just Super Smashed the Like button!
Exactly same reaction let’s go!!!
Skye Bennet is usch a talented voice actor.
Triangle Strategy...
Triategy?
I wish they would announce a new 3D mario game like odyssey 2 or something?
@10:53 I’ma lefty too!! And Link was one of my favorite Nintendo characters ‘cause he was a lefty!! But when Eiji Aonuma took over the Zelda franchise, he changed Link into a righty and he forced all of us to hold/use the Wiimote with our right hand, I was so made!!

*Fun Fact: Shigeru Miyamoto is also a lefty and he created Link based on himself. (and his favorite Disney film: Peter Pan)
Oh nice
"I would be down for a Mario game that has multiple sports on the same game cartridge"
You mean Mario Sports Mix ?
EXACTLY what I was referring to but I want a new one on Switch!! 😛
We’ll get Metroid next time. I know we will see something this year.
Maybe dlc pack 1 focused on more male reps and dlc pack 2 is focused on female characters
It's always funny to see someone that hasn't played the reveal trailer's character original game trying to not be obvious about the fact that they haven't played it.
Jess, how would you react if Shantae got in smash?.
🤯🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩😭😭😭😭🥳🥳🥳🥳😭💖💖💖
Probably something along those lines. 😛
@@JesssAdel I see, you are not the only one, i would scream harder than maximillian dood in his dkc2 hype & rage video.

OH MY GOD!!!! OAO
Miitopia hands down! Runner up is Splatoon 3 next Smash then Mario Golf and so on
This direct was a huge let down for me #soon and titles im not a fan of looking at you skyward
2:49 Well they are literally sharing a body, so it only makes sense.
