I’m sure y’all thought about this immediately, but bringing Mario Kart back to the channel with the new courses would be fun. And doing it with betting cups on twitch would be REALLY fun!
Jazzed to see a new generation get access (again) to Earthbound (legally). One of my all-time favorites since I sort of discovered it by accident in the 90s as a kid.
I like that you emphasized legally because you can emulate it (which was the only option for a long time) but yes, I'm also glad that the kids of today can experience the greatness that is EarthBound and why it is, and probably forever will be, my favourite game of all time.
I have the very strong feeling that Emile screamed so loud for this direct. I'm so happy Nintendo remembered the franchise existed and they brought it to Switch. And of course mother f-ing XENOBLADE CHRONICLES 3! WOO!!!! And also Chrono Cross which I assume is good cuz I like Chrono Trigger.
@@DevinY1 I swore they were roommates. I even remember a Stephen vlog where they said they were "visiting Emile and Masae" and they'd always be in the same house. So I mean unless they stay really close by and were fine visiting each other during the entire pandemic when people were separating, it makes sense to me that they're roommates. I could be wrong though.
@@DevinY1 I like to think my original point still stands. If Emile yelled about Xenoblade 3, I wouldn't be surprised if you could still hear him through Masae's mic several houses out.
Yes he would but he probably complain a little bit because now he has another Xenoblade Chronicles game to let's play eventually he just finished Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and this was announced how much luck does that Emile have
This Direct was legitimately great. It had pretty much something for everyone. A common opinion I've seen in reactions was "I'm not interested in this, but I know someone is freaking out right now"
This Direct was incredible for me as a JRPG fan. Chrono Cross, Triangle Strategy, Earthbound. And I never would have expected my hype for Xenoblade Chronicles 3 would get overshadowed by LIVE A LIVE of all things. Live a Live is easily one of my favorite JRPGs from the 16-bit era. I'm extremely happy that game is getting released overseas for a new audience and in the HD-2D style at that.
There were so many good reveals today, I'm completely overwhelmed!! Excited for all of these ports, and to see the MOTHER franchise finally brought to the Switch. There are no other installments that we could possibly be missing, and if there are you're lying (wink wink, nudge nudge).
Actually one of the best Directs I have ever seen. Nearly every single thing on here was either a case of "I want this" and "Someone else wants this REALLY BAD." Like there was not a single thing on here that made me go "who demanded this, though?" Highlights for me personally were Chrono Cross, Live A Live, and Xenoblade 3 - but also, Klonoa, more news on Kirby, and a date for Triangle Strategy, Fire Emblem Warriors But Not Fates, Advance Wars, and while Mario sports games aren't really my speed, the last Strikers game was a near-launch title for the Wii, so absolutely happy for those fans too. Holy balls, this was SUCH a good presentation.
I'm SO excited to finally play Earthbound! After learning more about the series from you, I actually just got an emulated version, but this is so much more accessible. Also I LOVED strikers so I'm super hyped for that. And this'll be my first Kirby game but it seems extremely my jam. I really enjoyed this Direct and I'm glad you two did as well!!!
My absolutely favorite thing from the direct was the Xenoblade 3 announcement. Was sitting in voice chat with a friend of mine and we literally started screaming. It was magical.
The moment I saw Earthbound while watching the Direct, I immediately said "Wow! Stephen's going to LOVE this!" and it's no surprise that you did. I myself never got anything I had hoped for, but I'm not mad. I'm willing to wait as long as it takes.
I love salmon run. The “next wave” looks pretty similar to what we got in splatoon 2, but with some good quality of life changes and new bosses. I’ll take it. Some kind of unlimited mode for salmon run would be cool.
I’ve not watched the Vlog in two years, (I will catch up again entirely one day) but as soon as I seen this announcement on the Nintendo direct I knew I had to come straight here because I knew how much you guys would love it
One of my favorites was Klonoa. I thought that series died years ago, before I got a chance to get into it, and wasn't gonna come back ever! I really hope this re-release does well, because I'd love a new Klonoa game.
I had my expectations set so low for this Direct, but oh my god, in no way had I even dared to dream that MOTHER (yes, I still call it that) and EarthBound would come to the Switch today. Today! Clearly this was my highlight, haha. BUT, I'm also very excited for Carby, sorry- Kirby, and the Mario Kart DLC! So glad I got the expansion pass for NSO, that thing keeps racking up value points.
7:27 For anyone who isn't familiar, Stephen and Mal knew Toby Fox way before Undertale from the EarthBound fan community back when he made Rom hacks for Earthbound, he's actually appeared on the vlog before. Imagine if one of your friends from whatever fandom you were in one day made an original game and over the course of half a year became one of the most famous game developers of their time.
I never was able to finish Earthbound because I moved away from my parents (and their WiiU that had my file), but still cried when it was announced and was very excited to start it again this evening
I WON with the Direct today! Triangle Strategy demo, Kirby, Xenoblade 3, Mother 1+2 on switch, MK8, Chrono Cross, Live a Live, Portal, Sports....! So much good!!!!!
Genuinely surprised at Portal being on switch. That was my favorite part of the direct, followed by Xenoblade 3 and Mario Kart. Also, ironic that Xenoblade counts to 3 in the same Direct that Valve’s Portal joins the switch.
I’ve never played earthbound before but after watching Stephen and chuggaaconroys LP’s on them it fills me with joy that I can experience the same thing you guys felt while playing
The Earthbound video uploaded by Nintendo after the direct is actually a completely different video from the one we saw! It's funny and interesting because the intro plays on the fact that most people know Ness from Smash, so I wonder how Stephen and Mal feel having experienced it the other way around
Earthbound was such a huge announcement that I, someone who is not interested in Earthbound, went "LET'S GO!" while watching this Direct live. I'm so happy for all the Earthbound enthusiasts out there.
I loved when we got to the EarthBound reveal. I read the title, exactly one second passes, and then my brain: "wait thAT WORDPLAY-!" *insert nothing but giddiness here* Which then deflated slowly with the fact that Mother 3 still does not exist. But still rly cool
Stephen and Mal were way more calm about Earthbound and Mother than I expected. But I'm excited to finally have a way to play Earthbound for the first time. I'm more excited for Kirby, Splatoon 3, and Mario Strikers though.
I can think of one other game that supports eight players on one system. Runbow allows for up to 9 players on one system, at least for the Wii u version. Four players use a Wiimote, four use a nunchuck, and one uses the Wii u game pad.
Fire Emblem Warriors is exactly what the title implies, a Warriors game. They already did a Fire Emblem Warriors close to launch for the Switch that was VERY successful. Now that Three Houses has come out and it's the most successful game in the franchise, it makes sense that they're making a sequel. Hopefully it's as big of a glow-up as Age of Calmity was for Hyrule Warriors. Also the Mario Kart DLC is absolutely MASSIVE. We're getting an entire new game worth or tracks essentially for free if you have Expansion Pass which is now something I think is worth the pricetag now.
The original had 48 tracks. The pack comes with 48 more. Two games in one and all you have to do is either buy a 25 USD pass or get the Expansion Pack and have an internet connection.
I think it's a clever play on the Mario Kart thing. Instead of trying to move everyone to a new game, 9, they are basically added a second game as DLC. It won't split the player base and having DLC pricing will increase player adoption rates. It's kind of like the MMO Expansion model.
It's wild to me that there was no point during this direct when I wasn't at least somewhat excited for what was on screen (except maybe mlb lol). Every single announcement here brought me some amount of joy to see happen! I clearly also screamed out loud at multiple moments such as (to list exactly what I'm most excited for): Mario Strikers Returns Wii Sports 3 Mario Kart Ultimate Kirbo car (carbo) Earthbound on swiiiiiitch! And ESPECIALLY Xenoblade 3! Looks like a bridge between 1 and 2! Mechon return with High Entia? Nia look alike? The Mechonis Sword?? I'm IN. ...this year just started and my game wish list already doubled...great
While Mother 3 did not appear in this direct, the first 2 very well may have been added in preparation for a Mother 3 announcement. After all, it makes more sense to add the 3rd if the first two are already there.
Really pleased with Chrono Cross Remaster, Klonoa, Kirby update and Splatoon 3! Definitely am hoping for physical releases for Chrono Cross (to pair with the PS1 version) and Klonoa. I admit I had a sigh of relief when they announced the Mario Kart 8 DLC is included in NSO expansion pack, makes it worth having. Also yay Earthbound and Beginnings is finally on Switch! Good direct!
Xenoblade 3 blew my mind it looks so incredible, I'm a huge fan of the first one and it was so cool to see so many elements revisited. Also I 100% cried when Earthbound and Mother1 showed up, I've owned EB on WiiU probably since it came out but this might just push me to finally buy NSO.
I know that everyone’s excited for the Earthbound and Xenoblade stuff, and I am too, but there’s other stuff that really got me hyped. The Three Houses Warriors game looks cool, but I feel quite a few people half expected it. But the Live A Live remake is super exciting to me! I absolutely can’t wait for it! The Octopath art style was an outstanding choice for it.
Did anyone else notice that the version of earthbound that was shown was the Japanese version but with English text? Anygays, the biggest thing for me was: Mario kart, Splatoon 3, Earthbound and of course... XENOBLADE CHRONICLES 3, I was literally stunned for a solid 10 minutes after that announcement and I'm going to spend the next few hours looking through all the details of the reveal
As soon as I saw EarthBound I immediately thought of you! I'm so happy they're coming to Nintendo Switch Online because I've played both games before, but never finished them for various reasons, this is my chance to finally do so! Other than that it was a fantastic presentation for me, a new Fire Emblem Warriors, a new Mario Strikers after so much time, so many games I wanted to try (Chrono Cross, Klonoa etc.) but never could, a new "Wii" Sports game, another Taiko no Tatsujin game, Mario Kart 8 DX DLC and Xenoblade Chronicles 3!
A lot to be excited about for sure! Can’t wait for Strikers, Kirby and Mario Kart DLC. Also I remember buying Earthbound a while back on the Virtual Console but never got around to playing it but it’ll be much more convenient playing it on the Switch.
there's still a lot for me to unpack, but even with no mention of zelda, the one thing I was sort of hoping for, this was a pretty damn good direct. wondering yet if there's enough evidence to tell whether kirby is going to be an actual open world game like mario odyssey (with level selects, I don't expect it to be one single world) or a level select game where every level is a 3d space, kind of like mario 3d world? I wouldn't mind, the gameplay looks like it could be pretty fun even as a level based game.
So excited to see Earthbound coming to Switch! I finally got the game not too long ago on my 3DS, but it's great to see it coming to the Switch! I hope this means we'll eventually get news for Mother 3...
for me personally, while a LOT of the Direct has me excited, my big "OH MY GOD" one out of all of them is probably Live A Live because I love RPGs & I had heard of that game a good few times but never thought it would actually come back in any way.
"See, the reason I knew that is because I knew that 1 and 2 were already out, and I can count. And that's how I got to three." You say this, but it's actually the fourth Xenoblade game.
I was so exited for Earthbound because I actually haven't played it and I've heard you and other UA-camrs gush so much about it so I will totally play it myself soon to experience it. Yay! :)
I haven't seen many people talk about it, but the big thing for me was that Star Wars: Force Unleashed is coming to Switch. I've wanted to play it for a while and the original version is so expensive now.
I'm so excited for so many things but my top notes are Kirby, Strikers, Switch Sports and ofc Xenoblade 3. This was a great direct. I can't wait to see what else 2022 has in store.
So happy they remembered this. I still want them to use the Ice Climber IP or even Kid Icarus and do something wild with it. No mother 3 but hey, beggars can't be choosers
Earthbound has been a game I've been interested in for ages, I actually heard about it through you guys and it's been on my radar since. So I'm pumped to finally play it
Honestly never played Earthbound, but now I'll give it a shot. I wasn't born when it first released, and hadn't owned a system where it was legally distributed until now. Perhaps later when they finish translating Mother 3, I'll play that switch port too.
I’m sure y’all thought about this immediately, but bringing Mario Kart back to the channel with the new courses would be fun. And doing it with betting cups on twitch would be REALLY fun!

9:10 Stephen made me laugh so hard here
There are no other Mother games.
if Mother 3 ever gets officially localized it will truly break the internet
I love how Nintendo both DID and DID NOT count to 3 on this direct. I only mention this, because Valve made an appearance...
Same with mother series.
Stephen and Mal can finally continue the Mario Kart vs. competition over these couple years
….Does this mean Stephen vs. Mal for Mario Kart 8 is back on the table again?
Dude! YES omg we need this back! 48 courses? Yes please.
Your reactions are so light and positive, it's refreshing ^_^ thanks for reacting!

for me personally, while a LOT of the Direct has me excited, my big "OH MY GOD" one out of all of them is probably Live A Live because I love RPGs & I had heard of that game a good few times but never thought it would actually come back in any way.
My favorite was Mario Strikers, Kirbys new game, and Mario Kart DLC
"See, the reason I knew that is because I knew that 1 and 2 were already out, and I can count. And that's how I got to three."
You say this, but it's actually the fourth Xenoblade game.
I too can also not wait for more Kirbo. And, as someone who hasn't played Portal yet, I'll add it to the to be played list. It's below Earthbound.
I thought of Stephen and Mal when I saw that Earthbound was coming to Switch.

I was so exited for Earthbound because I actually haven't played it and I've heard you and other UA-camrs gush so much about it so I will totally play it myself soon to experience it. Yay! :)
ok but now since we have gba online... there's a chance right? right?
I haven't seen many people talk about it, but the big thing for me was that Star Wars: Force Unleashed is coming to Switch. I've wanted to play it for a while and the original version is so expensive now.
Kirby and More Mario kart Tracks I'm excited for these
Advance Wars, Front Mission, Three Hopes (maybe), MK8, Chrono Cross and Live a Live for me. RPGs, tactics games, and moar Mario Kart.
Mal's hair looks so pretty and shiny
I'm so excited for so many things but my top notes are Kirby, Strikers, Switch Sports and ofc Xenoblade 3. This was a great direct. I can't wait to see what else 2022 has in store.
So happy they remembered this. I still want them to use the Ice Climber IP or even Kid Icarus and do something wild with it. No mother 3 but hey, beggars can't be choosers
Earthbound has been a game I've been interested in for ages, I actually heard about it through you guys and it's been on my radar since. So I'm pumped to finally play it
Honestly never played Earthbound, but now I'll give it a shot. I wasn't born when it first released, and hadn't owned a system where it was legally distributed until now. Perhaps later when they finish translating Mother 3, I'll play that switch port too.
I'm very excited to play Earthbound because you guys love it so much!
