 I'm back and apparently so is Nintendo because holy moly that direct Nintendo I get it okay I get it I took a month off and you wanted to give me a little something a little something when I came back but I did not expect that direct this is all I wanted this is what I wanted yes because I did I did I did react to it live and if you were there thank you for watching I did say right at the start it doesn't matter what happens in this direct today I'm going to have a good time I'm gonna put out a positive video I'm not coming back after a month and a half off from a mental vacation and making a video called that Nintendo direct sucked either it could have been 40 minutes of just DLC for Mario Strikers and I still would have pretended like I had a good time but thankfully I did not have to pretend now I'm not gonna lie they had us in the first half like they started really strong wow starting off hot huh starting off hot with the Pikmin Arlo's losing his mind this direct hit the ground run and showing us Pikmin 4 well hit the ground running for some of us I like Pikmin I'm a big I'm a big I'm a small fan I'm a appropriately for the genre a small fan of the Pikmin series and I've been looking forward to this new one but you know it's an it's a Nintendo IP that we're getting a new fresh look at finally with a release date so that's exciting for a lot of people and that tells me that this was going to be a good direct one way or another because they could have had a bad direct and ended with Pikmin and they still probably would have got a pass because oh you're just not a Pikmin fan but it's still something no they had to get Pikmin out the way my guy because they were on a roll alright by the way I am back for my break and thank you all so much for still being here supporting me watching my content looking forward to my videos you know I had a couple plans for my first video back and it wasn't going to be a reaction to a direct because I can't predict those but it just so ended up this is where we are I still want to talk about what happened on my break and you know do the other videos I had planned for when I came back but right now I just shut up okay because Metroid Prime remastered oh wait what's the best one they haven't done I wasn't ready my body Reggie my body was not ready my body was not ready to give me Gameboy and Gameboy color and Gameboy advanced games on it yes let's go direct saved ww's in chat tell me Mario and Luigi oh my lord oh my god yes I was already literally on the floor asking for a towel oh I can't I need a towel ready done I was I was hoping the next couple of announcements would be farming Sims and other stinkers so that I had a second to recuperate from having my tent pitched so high I thought I was gonna put a hole in the first floor of my house sorry sorry apparently I went off break and became less family-friendly I gotta reel it in I'm just very excited I wasn't ready after Gameboy advance I was already calming myself back down to get slammed straight into Metroid Prime remaster I have a lot of thoughts here and I have a lot of things to say in general but I'm gonna be trying to summarize a lot of stuff now to fit into a YouTube video if you want more thoughts on everything tomorrow my buddy Bob and I are doing a Nintendo podcast episode it's gonna be like an hour long and we're gonna get to go over everything in the direction far more detail like for example I want to talk about how for the longest time we thought we were getting a prime trilogy and apparently the rumor was it's been ready for years and now over sudden we're just getting the first one and it's the dad did the remastered the first one what happened to the trilogy that was ready all this time I want to get into conversations like that but I gotta be honest don't care the first one was always my favorite anyway and that's what we're getting so I'm happy oh by the way on top of all of that if you didn't think all that was enough if I wasn't already in a puddle of wet sweat on the floor they shadow dropped it they shadow dropped it next March March March March March later my god streaming tonight I'm still I'm pulling an all-nighter chat we're doing an all-nighter I'm on Twitch tonight I'm on Twitch tonight I'm not sleeping I'm not sleeping you can play it now and I'm going to I wasn't planning on live going live again today but I'm gonna stream it tonight on Twitch as soon as I get this video up I'm gonna hit live on Twitch I'm gonna keep this party trainer going because I am so hyped up I've had a month off people you don't understand I wasn't ready to get this hyped up but I've been I've been I have not not tired I am not I have all the energy in the world can you tell I've injected Nintendo into my veins right now alright I'm zipping all over the place but we did get some Xenoblade 3 DLC they've added a bunch of I guess you'd call them challenge modes where you can just pick one character and see how far you can get in boss rush style thing and a bunch of other stuff as well and I gotta tell you I couldn't care less cuz you know blade sucks I had to throw one in there no actually I admitted this on stream because one of my plans was to have my Xenoblade 3 review ready for when I came back and that just didn't happen I actually took a break I didn't work on my break so it didn't happen but at this point I feel like the cat's just out of the bag I like Xenoblade 3 one day I'll make a review about how much I like it and possibly even love it I do it did get it did get a little it did get a little a little a little after that it did get a little little after that did get a little little after that I mean it's a direct so they do have to show a lot of the other things that are coming to the console you know there's a little bit for everyone there's like a clothes a clothing sim game you know another one that was interesting I this this cop game this de de de de de decap decap police I don't really know what's happening here I get persona vibes or Shimagami vibes just from like the designs and the battles but obviously not so much the way you interact or play the game game there's no there's no life sim stuff other than that I'm definitely intrigued by this game it looks like a new IP I've never seen this before but I love getting new surprises like this you know it's not all about the games we played a billion times and we're getting remasters of them or you know the new games like Zelda which we're getting to by Lord trust me we're getting to it's also about the new IPs and the fun stuff that you get the Splatoon DLC was wild by the way about my podcast again I think Bob and I really nailed it every everything I mean I think a lot of the writing was on the wall but we pretty much laid out this whole direct on our podcast on the last episode it's gonna be really fun going over it tomorrow but yeah the DLC for Splatoon they've given you the first game like the area like Inkopolis from the first game you can visit there now go to the shops again they've lit it's kind of cool because the first platoon is an on switch so now you have the first platoon in the third Splatoon I was kind of hoping to see more weapons or match types or modes or something that would make me want to play Splatoon again rather than oh I can go back to the first one okay it is cool but they didn't give you any of that it's just this however they gave you a sneak peek at this other world this side side order world or something that it's a void of color and void of paint which I think is a really obviously interesting idea since the whole point of the series is to cover things in color you've got this world that's just white and bland look there's so much in here we finally have a release date for advance wars I'm trying to skip through some of this direct but I feel like there's so much I want to try and talk about it's coming I think April 21st I think it said sometime in April no am I wrong I don't know I can't see it won't let me see sometime in April for this one oh and then you know this has all been well and good up until here this whole part of the direct man like every game was stacked there's Minish cap there's Mario Brothers 3 there's Mario Kart circuit whatever the Mario Kart which is by the way they've added online local and online co-op multi-play so now we can I can stream it on Twitch with my friend Metroid Fusion by the way my number one most wanted I don't I love that game but also Golden Sun that was where I truly did lose my mind and then to have it lead into Metroid Prime rain code another look at that game I'm actually very intrigued by that game oh he hasn't had a new game since like 3ds Wow Wow Wow and then this game which I thought initially was this game called snack world now fun fact actually it might even be over here for years now I've been meaning to make a video about my switch hidden gem I've never talked about the game I have never even brought it up one friggin time and I've left it I've left it right by my desk this whole time because I am like eventually I'm gonna talk about this damn game cuz I actually love it I think it's a hidden gem game on the console and when I saw this I thought it was something snack world but it's the same visuals made by the same company and something that looks like animal crossing but if it's good if it even holds a candle to how much I enjoyed snack world which is so random that I've never talked about it but I do love it that'll be fun that'll be a ton of fun I think that's a bigger announcement than what maybe we realize yet then some Mario Kart tracks some other random crap can we just skip to the end please I'm sorry don't care breath of the tears of the kingdom I do that all the time I gotta stop calling up breath of the wall to tears of the kingdom I gotta be honest going into this direct I said right at the stop tears of the kingdom is the one thing I don't need to see you know we know that's coming in May I'll play it in May it's Zelda you know me I'm excited I couldn't be more excited this is my game my guy I didn't need to see more of it what I wanted to see was literally anything else that might happen this year because all we know about right now is elder but then we got all of it and then some we got Pikmin we got the online we got prime and now we also get Zelda who's like this was this was literally Nintendo baking me a big chocolate black forest cake which my favorite cake by the way big black forest cake four layers and telling me that not only can I have it but I can eat it too and you know what I did you know what I did I went um I'm not gonna break it down too much right now again I will wait till tomorrow because I have a lot more time tomorrow on the podcast to break it down but oh it looks gorgeous it looks like there's a visual upgrade here but at the same time it very clearly is the the Majora's Mask to breath of the wild you know what I mean it is the using the same assets to make a new game so it looks very breath of the wild right now but we're hearing about the story it looks like there's this ultra blood moon the Hyrule looks like it's in calamity again is that Ganon that's talking because I feel like it doesn't sound like Ganon and I thought we dealt with Ganon I'm not even really sure at this point what's happening in the game it's just so off the wall I was way more on my chest screaming about Prime and GBA because that's new news to me and I know about Zelda so my reaction here is just I still can't wait for me but to end a direct with more of a look at this game to start it with our first look our real look at Pikmin to have Metroid Prime and GBA and Game Boy smashed in the middle and then a ton of cool reveals and announcements throughout yeah sure there were some things I didn't really care about but this is just one of those directs where I feel like if you didn't have something in here that appealed to you if there wasn't something in here that made you excited I guy question if you're a Nintendo fan and I wonder if you're just an ex-fan you know like an f-zero fan or an animal crossing fan actually you kind of got that oh my god oh and the switch they're going to show us a switch that's all for okay maybe don't the amiibo looks sick though wow was the switch fake what's the switch fake what's a fake switch alright I am so happy to be back making videos again thank you so much for watching this video I I'm losing my voice and I'm gonna try and edit this real quick so that I can stream again tonight because I am so hyped up on all of this I love you all I know I've said this already but I miss you all and yeah if you are watching this and you're wondering how I'm doing I think you can tell how about you hit that like button leave a comment down below if you enjoyed it share the video and I'm gonna do another video soon talking about a lot of other serious stuff that we've been dealing with since the last serious video I know this is a big juxtaposition from the last one but this just had to be fun and I'm so glad it was hey glad to be back
