[StueyDuck]

Wow, I genuinely didn't think you could get worse than the Sony showcase .

At least their CG trailers were meant to get you hyped (as shit as they were)

At least their wasn't as many farm games... like what 3

 

[NoLootBoxDev]

the Mario on Drugs looks nice

 

[Touch fuzZy. get BizZay]

a weird 2d mario....I LOVE IT

"a lot of things happened"

lol

 

[Krathoon]

Mario WTF?

They were on drugs.

 

[FunkMiller]

Eh.

Just about par for the course for this incredibly lacklustre ‘E3‘ season. Mario saving it.

6/10.

 

[chromhound]

 

[Sp3eD]

Boring. I wonder what will be the final game.

Wtf. You knew!

 

[CuNi]

The more gaming showcases I watch, the more I realize how out of touch I am with the current and future gaming landscape.

 

[Sephimoth]

Poor showing

 

[EruditeHobo]

Definitely buying 2-3 games in there... not bad, or at least better than the vast majority of Nintendo directs.

I'll take it.

 

[Krathoon]

Oh. Mario turns into an elephant for no reason.

 

[Moonjt9]

That 3d platformer by the sonic mania devs looks super fun. And hell yeah new 2d Mario! Nintendo absolutely killing it.

 

[Oberstein]

All right, new Mario looks good.

But...

 

[SCB3]

Alright, sign me up for all the Mario games and..... Well not a lot else tbh aside from Sonic, I liked the look of that now I've seen a bit more of it, I guess more JRPG's but I've yet to even play XB3 or any of the FE games yet, surprised there were no new NSO Virtual games either

Still nice solid date on the MGS Collection, I wonder if the NES games are also on the Steam version, that collection is looking really well put together imo

Also the fuck WB, why is Batman Arkham Origins always forgotten about?

 

[MagnesD3]

I'm still waiting on a real 3d plat from nintendo but at least it looks like that 2d mario is them trying a little. Game of the show is that Sonic Mania team 3d platformer, shit looked good. Show was mid but not awful.

I am super sick of remakes, I wish people didn't buy them

 

[Chukhopops]

I’m in for LSD Mario and the Star Ocean 2 Remake, got really good memories of that game and just hearing the soundtrack felt great.

The rest was kinda meh aside from stuff already announced (P5T mostly).

 

[Torrent of Pork]

I got gorgeous remakes of two of my favorite JRPGs from my childhood in Super Mario RPG, and Star Ocean 2, IDGAF about the rest.

 

[Banjo64]

Definitely a wind down menu.

Pokémon DLC
Pikmin 4
2D Mario and the hallucinogenics
Mario RPG

Wasn’t much from third parties either, I’ll buy Vampire Survivors.

Metroid Prime 4 will be a Switch 2 game, either a 3D Mario and/or Donkey Kong will probably be ready too.

 

[Jeff Spicoli]

All right, new Mario looks good.

But...

Samus Is waiting Switch 2

 

[Musashipan]

All right, new Mario looks good.

But...

Metroid 4 on switch 2

 

[jshackles]

Mario RPG and Wonder are definitely day one for me. Star Ocean 2 remake looks good. Was hoping to see a release date announcement for Front Mission 2 (since it's Switch exclusive) but no luck there, I wonder what's taking so long. I was also expecting Metroid Prime 4 to make an appearance.

Not a bad showing overall, but a bit underwhelming - especially knowing that all this stuff is probably going to run like ass on the now ancient hardware.

 

[SuperSaiyanWithDreads]

8.5/10

 

[Zannegan]

Not a great direct, but I still won't have time to play everything in there that I'd like to.

There were a fair number of couch co-op games though, which I always appreciate.

 

[justonething]

I'm sick of their 2d Mario aesthetic. 2.5D is so cheap looking.

 

[CherryFalls]

easily the best show of june imo, buying pretty much everything shown

 

[Interfectum]

Decent direct with some good announcements.

 

[poodaddy]

Feel like I took crazy pills with the reactions here. Pikmin 4 looks amazing, Mario RPG looks amazing, new Mario looks incredible, Peach game will probably be fantastic, remaster of Luigi's Mansion 2 will undoubtedly be great, MGS collection is a great fit for Switch, fuck man this was great. Nintendo's just trying to make me go broke with all these great games coming out that I just cannot fuckin afford, and Spider Man 2 coming out soon, StarField, FF XVI, Jesus Christ why did the industry decide to stop being shit all at once? Way too many good games this year, I feel like we're gonna pay dearly nearly next year as a result.

 

[Zannegan]

On the plus side, they shook up their NSMB art style into something much more appealing. On the other hand, the aesthetic is so on the nose trippy, I wouldn't be shocked if they got raked over the coals for "marketing drugs to children." Lol.

 

[NotMyProblemAnymoreCunt]

8.5/10

9.5/10 just for Detective Pikachu, Super Mario RPG Remake and Star Ocean 2 HD-2D Remake

If they announced more JRPGs, I would have gave it a 10

 

[Jack Videogames]

Mario becomes an elephant. Flower: "Well then"

Me too, flower, me too.

 

[Fake]

Well, their last game wasn't good, but still the direct inself was great for me IMO.

I rank A.

 

[NanaMiku]

Wow, is this Mario year or what?

Pretty mediocre Direct for me. WarioWare looks nice though! Reminded me of the Wii version

 

[CuteFaceJay]

Pikmin looks nice.

 

[Chastten]

Oh man, I would be so excited for that Star Ocean remake but I dislike the look with the pixel characters in the realistic world. Make it one or the other, not both

Cautiously excited for the New Mario game, Luigi's Mansion 2, the Peach game, Pikmin 1 & 2, MythForce, Silent Hope and a few others, but the only new must-have game here for now was Super Mario RPG.

If this doesn't confirm Nintendo's efforts have shifted towards Switch 2, than I don't know what does.

 

[Comandr]

No MP4 feels really telling. These announcements feel like the last hurrah before Switch U.

 

[ChoosableOne]

Wow, this is how you do world premier! A brief summary of the game and a gameplay video that explains the game... Actually, everything should be this simple. Of course, if you have something to show.

WarioWare caught my attention. There are no motion controls in the current Wario game on Switch and it's terrible(maybe it's different in the full game, I only played the demo a little bit). 2D Mario didn't seem very interesting, but I think I have a weakness for 2D Marios. I also liked Dragon Quest Monsters. The lifespan of the Switch could be longer than mine

 

[TheBROgamer]

This sucked

 

[Gambit2483]

At least Nintendo events show actual Gameplay.

Super Mario RPG Remake? Day 0

 

[Krathoon]

Is Square Enix involved with Mario RPG remake?

 

[NanaMiku]

Pretty surprised with Uma Musume with River City Melee: Battle Royal Special gameplay

 

[Dr. Wilkinson]

Yeah, Still don't understand the direction of Paper Mario Franchise after Sticker Star.

Miyamoto told the team that they needed a different hook than a traditional turn-based RPG. And also that they weren’t allowed to make variations of existing Mario characters.

 

[Dr. Wilkinson]

Is Square Enix involved with Mario RPG remake?

The copyright info during the Direct said it was Nintendo/Square Enix. I’m sure exact info on who is developing it will be announced at some point.

Normally with games like this nowadays it’s likely Square is doing primary development with supervision by Nintendo.

 

[MagnesD3]

Yeah, Still don't understand the direction of Paper Mario Franchise after Sticker Star.

It's because everything I love gets ruined lol

 

[Timmeehh]

Wow, I guess I am not a typical gamer, but this Direct was amazing for me. Was waiting for a new 2D Mario for a long time, and the Luigi remake and Mario RPG were great bonuses.

Was hoping for Wooly World remake tho. But overall really really liked it, and I hated the last few directs.

With all the announcements with 'we'll share more later' (Peach, Luigi, SMBWonder), might it be that they are transitioning to Switch 2 already?

 

[Krathoon]

It seems like Mario RPG is a 1 to 1 upgrade which is amazing. Hopefully, they do not change anything, only add stuff.

 

[SF Kosmo]

I mean isn't that Nintendo though? Mario, Zelda, Pikman, Metroid are all really old franchises that they keep making. I personally love it, but this isn't new, this is what they have always done.

Wasn't just talking about the first party releases though.

But even then, there are sequels or uses of existing IP that are fresh and exciting and then there's remakes and rehashes of the same old same old. No one would complain about this if we were getting Metroid or F-Zero or something we haven't seen in a while, or if these sequels weren't so bland and predictable.

 

[MagnesD3]

I hope that Penny game gets its own thread that game was the game of the show IMO, has incredible promise.

 

[Krathoon]

Super Mario Wonder is literally Mario on drugs. I wonder if they realized that. That is hilarious.

 

[XesqueVara]

Miyamoto told the team that they needed a different hook than a traditional turn-based RPG. And also that they weren’t allowed to make variations of existing Mario characters.

Oh ffs, Then they proceed and transform one of the most charming RPG franchises of Nintendo into that shit of today's.

 

[Krathoon]

(Miyamoto smoking a bong in retirement)

I HAVE AN IDEA!
