"Someone checkon Max Dood right now"
He's doing okay, he just had to check his blood pressure.
He got knocked into a mental coma for an hour 😂
It was so funny watching his reaction!
Nintendo is going out strong with the current Switch.
Who said the original switch was leaving?
@@Thundervolt888 the Switch Successor is being announced by March of next year. The current Switch is clearly in the last years of its life in terms of active support.
@@Play_Dreams3ds got games till 2019. Switch getting support in switch 2 era
@@politicalchannel66 Yea, I expect that. I said the current Switch is in its last couple years of active support.
@@politicalchannel66cross compatible must be true please nintendo
57:20 I just noticed on a rewatch that the two species of Zoras are meeting here, that's huge!!!!
Oracle games have them aswell. I think this os confirming that its post OoS/OoA
That's so cool; maybe there's salt-water Zoras and sweet-water Zoras.
@@Dairunt1 That's exactly what it is. Oracle of Ages calls the old 2D Zoras River Zoras and the OoT Zoras Sea Zoras.
@@Dairunt1 I've never seen it referred to as "sweet-water"; is that a regional thing?? Genuinely confused here.

Thank you!
You're doing God's work.
As a major Ace Attorney nerd, I am so excited that more people have a chance to play Investigations 2 now! Even if you're like me and didn't necessarily love the first Edgeworth game, absolutely give AAI2 a shot, it's one of the franchise's crown jewels.
I've played it in the past via the fan translation, so it'll be interesting to play this official English release of the game. I'm glad Capcom are finally giving it to us.
I kinda wish I didnt play the fan translation like I didnt with Great Ace Attorney but sitll picking it up!!
I feel the exact same way the first Investigations game is one of my least favorite in the series (I love Turnabout Airlines though), but the sequel is one of the best and it’s so worth playing.
So I’ve heard! Currently playing the fan translation now, and I’m enjoying it so far (not far enough yet to judge if it’s better than AAI1 though…but hopefully it is, since that game started to drag)
I liked 1 way more than 2
Direct Starts at 27:14
Thank you!
This line up feels like a lineup for a console in the middle of it's life. Hard to believe switch 2 is coming sometime in mid-late next year.
Covid times really delayed the heavy hitters
Never was mentioned it'd be mid-late next year, if we get a reveal of the Switch 2 before 2025 (like November or December) then it can potentially be in the market by the 1st quarter of 2025, maybe even with-in the 3rd and 6th month of the year, but if you're trying to play off expectations of the Switches release, then that's probably why you're betting on mid-late next year. If the Switch 2 gets a reveal anywhere between the 1st and 3rd month of 2025 (the last few months of its window of which they said we'd get more info on it by then) then yes, I'd believe by that time it won't be till mid-late next year, we'll have to see with the remaining 6 months of this year if we get any updates/reveal by then, since that is what they said anywhere from now till March of next month (which would be maximum of 9 months). Hoping not too late of a reveal and really surprise the masses with a late 2024 reveal, and an early-mid release next year.
RPG fans eating good this direct.
Nonstop banger direct. Great swansong to lead the Switch out. I'm so happy Mario & Luigi is back 🥲
Im happy Mario and Luigi is back too!
Switch won E3!
its great to see you all together! I had to watch the direct directly from the nintendo channel, but as soon as i could i came to watch your reactions
Quality predictions!
They nailed the new Mario & Luigi, Dragon Quest I-III HD2D, new 2D Zelda and new Mario Party
But still no Bingo. 😅
So excited about many things but that Mario Party looks so fire
40:56 Glad I'm not the only one that thought it was Hilda!
This was an darn good direct. The biggest highlight for me is an new Mario & Luigi game, Dragon Quest Erdrick Trilogy 2D-HD Remake and Metroid Prime 4: Beyond.
#FreeMvC2 is over!
My God, Nintendo just dropped one of their best directs ever and it was at the end cycle of the Switch.
Nice to see a full panel for the first time in a while! I missed seeing Steve’s live reactions specifically.
Most of Alpha Dream ended up at Mistwalker, so I've been hoping they'd make a new Mario & Luigi. I doubt we'll know who made it until it's close to out, like Princess Peach Showtime.
Wait there are all in Final Fantasy creator Studio?!
If you know The Last Story, that, Mistwalker, is this company.
@user-wo6zu2vh8f Yup, them. I looked it up a while back and basically all the key members of Alpha Dream were listed as working there now.
Nice to know they ended up somewhere, Alpha Dream had some serious talent.
@@Zerolink30 A decent chunk of AlphaDream is at Mistwalker, but ILCA got the most employees, and they still only picked up around a dozen AlphaDream alumni from what I read.
I'm still leaning towards Next Level Games, but ILCA is definitely the runner-up candidate
@@PikaPhantomVG ILCA? The guys who made BDSP? If they're the developers, then I'd be scared for the quality of _Brothership._
They really missed the opportunity to just call it "The Legend of Zelda" haha
This direct was perfect for me. I still can’t believe AAI2 is finally getting officially localized. It’s gonna be so hard getting used to the new names I’m so used to the fan translation ones.
Great reactions. Was such a great direct. I can't believe we got a new 2D Zelda and Prime 4 in the same Direct!
Nintendo slayed the competition's TERRIBLE recent showcases just by focusing on what games should be: Fun
Thanks for streaming your reactions!
Ash became so stoic toward the end. What a stoic guy
25:39 there needs to be a Nintendo switch collection of MegaMan StarForce
I honestly expected this Direct to be a dud, but it's honestly the best Direct I think Nintendo has ever done. I was never interested in the Mario & Luigi games before, but the art style was just SO endearing.
Honestly though, for all the amazing announcements, the biggest surprise was the new Zelda game. I LOVE the direction they're going, not just Zelda being playable, but that looks like a SUPER fun gimmick they came up with her. Makes her totally distinct from Link, and I can already imagine a lot of room for creativity for both puzzles and combat.
As a DK fan, I was directly disappointed when I saw the dkcr reveal. So they really don't do a new DK game for the switch. I'm surprised about the positive reaction about this. Mario and Luigi looks FANTASTIC OMG. And echoes of wisdom as well looks absolutely fantastic. Metroid prime 4 looks like expected. Probably the mp remastered graphics. Looking forward to this, but it wasn't the absolute hype as I was thinking I would have 😅 without mp1 remastered in existance I would be more flashed I think.
Top Tier Direct, A+ if not S!
The way MIO: Memories in Orbit revealed itself made it seem like it was this big-deal reveal, since most of those kinds of Nintendo Direct reveals don't have a headline introducing them. I remember thinking what kind of game this could be while it was playing and... well, it's certainly intriguing, and props to Nintendo for giving it the pomp and circumstance of an otherwise major reveal, but it still left me confused.
While it IS cool that we're not able to play all 5 Donkey Kong Country games on the same console, it's still somewhat disappointing that we still haven't gotten a proper new Donkey Kong game in over a decade now...
Finally seeing Dragon Quest III's HD-2D remake release date was great enough, but finding out they're ALSO doing the same thing for the first two Dragon Quest games is very surprising! Dragon Quest I is very light on story, so I hope they add a lot more to it with the remake, and I hope they balance out the difficulty of Dragon Quest II and give more interactions and personality to the other two party members after they join you.
It's great that we're getting The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords and Metroid: Zero Mission on NSO finally, but man... I really want Wario Land 4 to come to the service. Hopefully it and the rest of the Wario Land games will have their day. Also, an app for Mature 17+ games... Maybe Conker's Bad Fury Day might have a chance now?
I never played the Marvel vs. Capcom games, but my friends played 2 ALL the time back in the day, to the point where it's character select music is ingrained into my head, awesome to see the arcade collection coming to the Switch!
For real, though, I'm such a sad nerd for Mario that the idea of Ninji being playable in the next Mario Party is one of the highlights of the Direct for me. I do hope Diddy Kong and Pauline will also be playable in Super Mario Party Jamboree, though. Everything else about the game looks awesome!
If Ninji being playable was the number one (unironic) highlight of the Direct not involving Mario & Luigi, Zelda, or Metroid, than the Ace Attorney Investigations Collection announcement was definitely a close number 2! Seriously, it's so great that we're finally getting an official English translation for the second Investigations game! Really, Capcom's been on a role with all these modern releases of the Ace Attorney games! Could it be possible that a new mainline installment is coming?
The switch has the most ridiculous insane library at this point!
Also looks like those classic boards in mario party was superstars dlc added to this game.
Solid Direct! Mario and Luigi RPG's are ALIVE! Mario Party looks promising! A LITERAL Zelda game and it looks fascinating! And HOLY MOLY, Prime 4 is real and it looks incredible! Everything about its presentation fits right in with the original trilogy in such a good and clean way, that's astonishing! I do not recall a game series that had such a gap between games (I mean going from Prime 3 to 4 by this, of course) but still retained its old style and feel so faithfully without looking bland for it. They made us wait, but if that's a sign of things to come, the delay on this game is going to pay dividends!
In the DragonQuest trilogy 3,1,2 is the chronological order of events. the third game was a prequel to the first game.
In the first game you're following in the footstep of the great Erdrick (which is the title of the legendary hero, not a name)
So in the third game you actually play as the legendary Erdrick.
And in the second game you play as the descendants of the hero in the first game.
So the release schedule actually makes a lot of sense I think.
I just hope that they do something to spice up DQ1 because it has not aged well.
I mean it's extremely simple and "grindy". There's very little tactics required and you don't have a party of characters.
Instead you're a single guy fighting turn based battle agains multiple enemy fights. It can feel very tedious.
But it's also a very short game, I did beat it in an afternoon. Still I would appreciate if they added some quality of life features and perhaps some post game content. I mean after you beat the game you can still walk around and talk to people and they will thank you and stuff, but that's it.. No hidden super bosses or secret dungeons with better gear or anything like that.
While the rest of the gaming industry is crumbling down, I'm so glad Nintendo's firing on all cylinders.
Game I'm most excited for at this show? Mario & Luigi: Brothership.
Strongest possibility of peeling Sega down from 5 GOTY nominees (In release order: Infinite Wealth, P3 Reload, Unicorn, Metaphor, Shadow Generations) to 4 (losing Shadow Generations or P3 Reload) at this show? Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom. Still not sure this, quite, manages to kick either of those games off the list, but I also wouldn't be entirely surprised if knocks one of them off.
Oh, Echoes looks like it is the same map as Link to the Past. That rock formation, the pillar area, to the right of the castle feels super familiar.
It's not a 1:1 recreation, but a lot of it is deliberately based on A Link to the Past. There are some key differences, though - there's a Hyrule Castle Town, a Gerudo Town, and most significantly, Death Mountain's in the northwest, with the top-right mountain being snowy. It does look like the map was also expanded quite a bit, given we see areas like a swamp/rainforest
I was highly confident Nintendo wouldn't do something extremely stupid like moving Prime 4 to the Switch 2, but it is nice to have confirmation. The only question is will Prime 4 or Pokemon Legends Z-A be Switch's final big release.
I just watched this now, wow what a great direct. Zelda looks great and that and Astrobot in September?? Will be great. Also Prime 4 looks fantastic and what a way to close off the direct.
Yessssss!!!!! Nintendo is king!!!! Nintendo loves their people!!!!
Feels like everyone who is a Nintendo fan is in full alignment of what to be excited for, for this one.
For Mario Party, I do agree with what I think Daniel alluded to. Mario does need to update their boards and not just be generic on getting around. It would be nice if some were simple where you rely on the mini games to win but also some boards where their gimmicks have a more cool/unique influence on winning.
The Switch's going out with a bang
That was a goated direct
I wish 2D Zelda would adopt the Wind Waker aesthetic. I haven’t really warmed to the Awakening remake style.
ash looks baked
Matroid 4 will be a launch title 😉
Nintendo and Xbox with banger showcases, too many games to play
Hold on we deserve Oracle remakes Mr. Jon!!!! lol
...Yeah I also thought Zelda when that dragon Quest game popped up. lol
At least we actually did get a new Zelda game. lol
27:15 - This is when the Direct actually starts, if you want to skip the near half hour of pre-show chat.
I dont why but for some reason, you guys are the only reactions that talk over each other this much and this is consistent.
Best direct!
Funko fusion is a lego game pretty much. The old lego marvel and lego star wars team made it. It's not for kids, however. Tons of blood and R rated ips so surprised it's here. How does it play? If you played any lego game that's how it plays.
Stream starts at 1:53.
HD2D doesn't look "bad" but if they ever remake Chrono Trigger, PLEASE full on remake
Also Zelda game looks great but why annoying yellow orb tutorial companion? always annoying yellow orb tutorial companion damn it
Lack of WW/TP HD port aside this was a very very good direct. Surprised at the number of original games here, including Metroid Prime 4!!!!
TBH, depending on who you ask it's "Lack of *insert game here* aside". Nintendo has so many series. 😂
Marvel Capcom. Clear winner. Of life.
We need more Dragon Quest? Did you play Treasures? Dark Prince?
They probably meant mainline.
After having a little time to sit and think about it, I would give this Nintendo direct a respectable 7 out of 10 ✊
My Top four announcements were:
1. Mario and Luigi Brothership
2. Legend of Zelda echoes of wisdom
3. 100 defense
4. Metroid prime 4 beyond
#TakeDerrickToSizzler
Still no Chrono trigger or eternal darkness but I’ll take Zelda and Metroid prime 4 as a decent consolation prize.
Two things make me nervous about the new Mario Party. The stars cost 10 coins, and the turn timer showed that boards can last as few as 10 turns. Was really hoping with how Mario Party Superstars got better review scores than Super Mario Party, and the overall positive reception of NSO Mario Parties even by those that didn't grow up with them, it would've been nice to see them lean into the more traditional setup.
The 10 coins for a star looks like it was specifically for Rainbow Galleria, and only during special events (i.e. "Flash Sale"), and the 10 turns is probably only the minimum turn count. I'd imagine it'll go higher than that.
10 turns is the low in Superstars as well?
finally real legend of zelda.
Shadow drops are a bad thing. Why would you want one? That's basically barely any marketing.
Maybe you should cool it with saying that Link's Awakening doesn't run well. I played it with no issues at all. Maybe it's a copy thing or it varies from person to person 🤷♂
P.S. This is coming from someone who played the original first, and I think the remake is hands down the definitive version.
"This is like Breath of the Wild innovation in 2D Zelda"
Thanks for putting your finger on why I feel so queasy about this. One of the reasons I wanted a 2D Zelda was because the 3D series was being taken over by these multi-solution mechanics and leaving me behind because that type of gameplay doesn't interest me. Will I ever get a tightly-designed classic Zelda game again?
shut up
Probably not unless it’s a remake / remaster. Nintendo doesn’t like treading the same ground.
@@crustyhotdog7940 It's going to be a game starring Zelda. They were already treading new ground!
And if we're talking about retreading old ground, that artstyle has already been used and really isn't the best choice here.
@@JonSmith-hk1bq reusing an existing engine for a new idea that they aren’t expecting to be a smash hit isn’t surprising, but i agree the art style is horrific. I’m interested to play for sure but nothing quite matches the feel of OoT or TP dungeons, and it’s a format i wish they’d return to.
There are too many people reacting on this stream. You can't hear anything else but EVERYONE reacting.
You come to a reaction stream and then complain about too much reaction... Makes sense
Yeah that's the point of a react stream. You listen to people react.
I already watched the Direct, then came here to see people geek out and point out what I missed. Definitely makes sense.
Aaaand of course everyone replies as if you're complaining about the reactions themselves rather than the fact that there's 6 people muting each other when they yell loud enough
Too many people talking at once, this is a bit messy.
I would take Jon x6 next time.
😂 GVG need to get their cloning machine out!
Completely disagree it was absolutely fine
Everybody looks hella smelly except Jon. Lol.
Smelly? Buddy, I think you're a little too close to that screen you're behind and the deflection of this "smell" is just your own grungy unhygienic self that you're smelling.
Am mixed on the Zelda game, love that Zelda has a unique playing style but I am not sure I like the direction they have gone with and I would rather hit things with a sword as link, especially after no traditional new zelda game for 11 years.
It's easily the most disappointing part of this Direct. I was so hyped for a second that we'd get a new 2D Zelda and get to play as her (even if I didn't really like the art style).
And then Zelda starts stacking tables and it's like... so puzzles don't have unique solutions here either? It's more "we give the players tools and they figure it out for themselves" gameplay like in BotW? Sorry Aonuma, you've taken the series in a direction that alienates this old fan. I'd made my peace with losing 3D Zelda, but you had to put this in 2D too?
@@JonSmith-hk1bq Couldn't have said it better myself. Paired together with the toy-ish artstyle (which is neat but would fit merch more rather than an actual game imo) it disappointed me quite a lot.
@@JonSmith-hk1bq yes I am not sure about the direction. I love BOTW and TOTK but wanted to see the traditional format remain in 2D
I wanna try it out first, but it feels like a spin-off rather than the new mainline 2D Zelda game. @OniLink97
@@dairhat I agree
Metroid fans this will probably your last prime game. I don't see this game selling more than 2 million copy while looking like this and playing like this at 2025. 2025 will be banger year and unfortunately this game will be buried. This supposed to come 3-4 years ago.
@hododod246 uhmm. ok, dont forget to wipe your tears from cryibg
Metroid 🤢
Nothing like watching 6 dudes getting all excitied being dripfed old Nintendo games. Personally I can't possibly get excited for 2 GBA games and 2 N64 games.
Go someplace else then? This was always going to be Nintendo focused, you knew what you were in for.
@@MicaiahBaron How is "this was always going to be Nintendo focused" even an argument? I am not bloody complaining that a Nintendo showcase is about Nintendo. I am facepalming that some people are content with getting the bare minimum. Like, why do they add 1-2 games to the Online service every other month, when they should be adding at least 10 or 20? These are not new games afterall, but old ass games that takes NO effort or time to port, yet they expect us to be excited for these "bare minimum" announcements when I can boot up my emulator right now and have access to hundreds of games.
Completely ignores the fact that we got a new entry in all three of Nintendo's biggest mascots.
That's a personal failing brother, it just means you're built worse than the rest of mankind.
@@Gamxin Except I don't? Though I do hate how they massacred ma boy Zelda.
Nintendo is so stupid for putting this so early in the morning.
What timezone are you in
America isn't the entire world. It was broadcast at a very convenient 4 PM where I am.
