 I liked it. I don't I don't know. I really liked it. There was a Nintendo Direct today Which a lot of people apparently didn't know about also kind of weird that they didn't do a live premiere for this one Like they normally do and they just dropped the entire video, which I didn't I didn't I didn't really love I still reacted to it live But a lot of people just skipped to the end and gave me spoilers that said I already knew that Mario and Rabbids was gonna be shown and a certain Atlas game I Kind of knew it was gonna be there, but I still I didn't believe it because I've been wanting this to happen But like five literally five years Okay, so Nintendo released a partner mini Nintendo Direct today Which I gotta I gotta be honest wasn't what any of us really wanted out of a Nintendo Direct this month Because it's e3 season or at least what usually would be its summer game fest and we have Nintendo Direct throughout the year Usually there's one in February one during summer now and then one at the end of the year But the summer ones the e3 ones are always the best. It's when Nintendo saves the good stuff And they really pop off some of the best announcements and callous moments We've ever had where it Nintendo directs during e3 during summer So hearing that one was coming on the 15th 16th 29th whenever all the leaks said it would happen And then it ended up actually happening on the 28th It was exciting because we knew it would be amazing But then we had the Xenoblade Direct, which is fine not for me and then a partner Direct didn't exactly set the bar very high But I will say for a partner showcase Direct meaning nothing first-party Nintendo is going to be shown and purely focusing on the third-party support that Nintendo switch gets I Think it was straight fire It was about as ten out of ten as a partner showcase could be at least for me and what I'm looking for Hi, we just recently drove from Texas here to PA It was a three-day drive and the whole way all we ate was gas station food and Twinkies Which is pretty much the same thing So you have no idea how nice it was to rock up day one and have a box filled with delicious Low calorie meals right on our doorstep. There was actually six of them, but we were hungry That's what I'm saying. We were eating two of them I got to film this before I eat the rest Fitness starts with food and factor makes it possible for you to achieve your daily goals through nutritious Purposeful eating factor offers keto chef's choice veggie and vegan options as well as low calorie Which are the ones that I go for the best part is with factor There's literally no meal prep and I reach over here and grab a knife That's not a knife. This is a butter knife Couple of stabs for ventilation Two minutes in the microwave and then by the time I'm done even with this sponsor read I'll have dinner quick and easy no mess no clean up other than this butter knife Which is now clean too the meal plans offer a ton of variety They change weekly and there's over 25 meals and over 35 add-on options So we already have a minute left on that Which is almost just enough time for me to tell you to grab some by going and clicking the link down below Which is go dot factor 75.com forward slash beat them ups 120 why 120 you might be asking not because 120 seconds is almost as long as it takes to cook the meals, but because you get a hundred and twenty dollars off When you use my code, that's a hundred and twenty dollars of free food Dinner so they started by showing off a bunch of Monster Hunter Sunbreak Which is completely fair to do because that game drops in a couple of days at this point I say game because it is DLC for Monster Hunter Rise, but it's like $40 and a massive expansion that you may as well just count as a brand new game It may as well just be the sequel to Monster Hunter Rise, but all Incorporated into the same game then I Literally said this I think during a panel I had this weekend at too many games But someone was like what what would you what game would that no one really talks about coming to switch? Would you want to see and I said near freakin automata? I think it's a perfect Nintendo switch game I was baffled it hasn't happened yet It was on PlayStation 4 and we've had games like Witcher from PlayStation 4 come to the switch So why couldn't it happen and sure enough near automata the end of your heart addition which has Nintendo switch exclusive Outfits and and accessories and items and things and bleh, but it's that full game on the switch which I Just can't stress enough how perfect I think that game is for the console a little hack and slashy a little bullet hell A little bit of everything actually, but just a really fun game to have on the go So immediately we started super strong Then we started getting things sprinkled in that we hadn't seen before like this really stylish game that's coming in 2023 Lorelai and the laser eyes Actually intrigued by that then almost like a meme super Bomberman R2. I don't 2023 I didn't really like nobody really liked Bomberman R and weirdly a big reason why I didn't like it is because it just didn't fit The tone of Bomberman. It didn't look fun. It was a muted color scheme and and here again We're seeing more of that same game that I didn't think anyone really liked the entire Mega Man Legacy collection Mega Man Batman net what met bat? It is 9 a.m. Yeah, give me cut cut me some slack then a remake or should I say repack of Pac-Man world? Oh Who was asking for that then something really cute a little black and white artistic game with two two little God cuties called Blanc Blanc which is apparently a Nintendo switch exclusive and you can play it into player So I know what Kim and I are gonna do whenever this game finally comes out in February of next year then Pirating is in my blood I Love Monkey Island Monkey Island was one of my first ever video games. It's why I love point and clicks I talk about Monkey Island way more than I should and brand new one is coming to switch switch first Apparently as well. I couldn't be more excited. It sounds like they have all the original voice actors. It's in a new Weird art style that is reminiscent of the original art style I'm not completely sold on it yet, but we're getting brand new Monkey Island So my reaction speaks for itself. This isn't my favorite direct ever This isn't my favorite direct ever my own rabbit sparks and hope is the only thing that I knew was for sure Going to be shown in this event and they took a decent amount of time on it to show how the gameplay works It looks very similar to the first one Gorgeous visuals. I I mean, I don't know what else to tell. Yeah It's it's kind of like XCOM, but with Nintendo spliced with rabbits and the first one was really fun This is one of those games that you either just love or you don't I guess You know something looks kind of like a mobile game a train game Yeah, a little cartoony Hendra on game. It kind of looks fun. Actually, I don't mind that at all We got a look at sonic frontiers and I gotta say Doesn't look great I appreciate that they did show us gameplay of the switch version And this trailer is the first time that I saw things about the game that actually does look pretty fun There's some like throwback levels that it seems like they have a lot of weird and wacky's that I that it does The gameplay does look fun. I gotta be honest It looks fun, but the art style is very jarring to me and the switch gameplay They showed is clearly struggling like and and remember This is what they chose to show the very first clip has a panning shot of flowers and even like the flowers are like Glitching in and out assets loading in really weirdly There's another panning shot pretty early in the trailer where whole chunks of the rock face is like disappearing as the camera pulls away It's hard for me not to notice those things overall the resolution is obviously very low and just the textures are very Blegh a Disney sims game, which Live alive we saw more of that Story of seasons Minecraft legends dragon quest treasures, which I love dragon quest But I'm not sold on this one yet with portal is a game I feel should have been on switch already I find it really weird that it took this long to put the portal games on the switch, but they're here Another harvest game called harvest stellar Mashed in with rpg mechanics and some pretty cool-looking visuals So I might grab that and then I blasted and rushed through everything other than monkey island to get to the end here Because sure enough it's finally happening and it feels unreal It doesn't feel doesn't feel real. It doesn't feel real I I feel like I'm gonna wake up. It is really early. I could still be sleeping and this is all just a beautiful dream I have wanted persona five on switch ever since the game released In fact when I made my fake april fools direct, which some of you might remember It was a long time ago now like the first game I fake announced coming to the switch was persona five because even back then That was what everyone wanted. That was the main hype That was the one game that if you asked what should come to switch everyone said persona five. I was on that train I've been on that train I've never let up on that train and the reason why it was so expected today is because recently they announced It was coming to xbox and pc and it just doesn't make sense for persona five to be everywhere other than switch Especially when we have persona five strikers already and uh, I mean atlas knows nintendo knows How hype this is because they saved it for the very last spot and it had its own Fully voice acted by morgana announcement that persona five. Yes is finally coming to nintendo switch now There's a caveat here for me. I'm very very very excited about this I'm glad that I can finally play it portable It just sucks big booty cheeks that they announced it coming to pc a couple weeks ago because I have a steam deck That was very hype for me. So the wind was taken a little bit out of the sails here I wish this was announced first and was a complete surprise secret The cat was a little bit out of the bag But it gets even better because as well as the full persona five royale experience coming portably to the switch Not a cloud based version either which is better better We also got persona four golden as well as persona three Which is insane golden is my favorite jrpg of all time. I really love five It's up there in my top five, but it there was something about four that I really love I'm so excited. I'm so excited and I think overall as far as a partner showcase mini direct This was best case scenario, man I mean So many of us were waiting for the persona games to come to switch that it's a huge announcement for me personally Monkey island is so exciting The fact that also monkey island is going to be a timed exclusive on switch is cool for me because I love my switch I love monkey island. It's like my two worlds colliding and just a ton of cool announcements near otamata A bunch of other really cool things spliced in here or there, you know, it's a partner showcase I will say what is disappointing is that it is just a partner showcase, you know, that there's two separate things here There's one It's a partner showcase and for a partner showcase. It was amazing But there's the other side of it where it is just a partner showcase And I could totally get people being upset or bummed out about that because at e3 time We don't get a partner showcase. We get a full e3 and it's needed right now There's a lot of things we don't really have answers on or things we don't really know about Where is metro prime 4 when exactly is breath of the wild coming? What's happening next year? What is going on? Now really is the time that we need to know about a lot of this stuff But it's what we got and for it being what we got. I think it was really great I'm really happy about a lot of it. Uh, but what did you think of the direct? That's just my thoughts. You can leave a comment down below like the video Also, I am live tonight on twitch playing full guys on nintendo switch If you want to come hang out twitch.tv forward slash beat em ups Oh and nintendo podcast make sure you go follow that new episode on thursday bob and I are gonna go over this Direct together and uh, it's gonna be interesting because you know how I feel about it He's gonna hate everything that I love. In fact, he's probably gonna hate everything So we're gonna fight each other. I can feel it. All right. I love you guys. Bye
