 We're fresh on this one. We're very fresh the direct just finished a couple minutes ago, and I I I'm just doing this. I'm just doing it. I'm just I'm doing it. I'm here thought about taking some time I thought about recording this tomorrow and just really chilling out. Whoa. Hmm. This is hot This is really one of the hardest things to do as a creator I mean my heart gets pulled apart in so many different ways. I Usually have a very good and I still feel like even today have a good unbiased take That's how I feel you might feel differently But I feel like I normally have a very good unbiased take on whether a direct was good or bad or mid even and How I judge directs isn't all I just saw my favorite game So this is my favorite direct I've ever seen know it I judge them based on is this what we needed right now There were a couple of really good reveals There were two sport game reveals that I liked but they're sport games So it's like I like them buddy and I'll explain more as we get into this direct and then the big is where it's Completely biased. I can't help it guys that final reveal isn't for me And it just takes the wind out of the sails. I'm so excited for everyone else that can be excited for it All right, all right, let's let's reel it back a little bit. Let's go through this direct It opened almost huge I went live on Twitch with this by the way, and we had like 20 to 30 thousand people watching just like last time And thank you if you were part of the live It was insane But before we went live a lot of people said new fire emblem and I just said flight out No, that's not happening. But then when we cut to fire emblem three hopes I about lost my mind thinking that a three houses sequel was on the way three hopes wait What I my brain completely blocked out the word warriors like a bad dream like I didn't want to see it And I saw what I wanted to see I like the warrior games just fine I think age of calamity was the best warriors game that they've done and the story they told was incredible But I was I'm not I was not looking for another fire emblem warriors game I was looking for the next big fire emblems game. No, no, no, it's not a new game Then there was a advanced wars one and two we saw more of that excited for that no man's sky is Coming to switch. I think that'll be cool It's hard to get like amped up for it right because at this point It's what like a five six year old game So it is a port but it will be really cool to play that game on the go And I the footage that they showed was all running locally on the switch I would think a game like this would be a bit too much for the switch But it seems like they've managed to smush cram it on the console. It looks pretty decent I'm excited to give it a shot. Then we get in my opinion easily the biggest Reveal of the direct wait, wait, wait, wait Rocket League wait, what is my soccer? Oh, it's Mario soccer. It's Mario Strikas Strikas, oh they actually did a chat chat. Oh my god, and it looks sick. It's all like I don't know why I was so adamant that this wasn't going to happen a lot of people even in my chat Well, like new Mario Strikas, and I was like nah, no way. There's no way Nintendo will do it They did a freaking did it. This was easily the most hype I got through the entire event and it was right at the start or you can only go uphill from here There's no way it can go down Call of Duty What is this call of duty splatoon? I forgot about this. Okay, we knew about Splatoon 3 So it's not like a big reveal or anything But they showed some of the the salmon run which is like the co-op mode that was in Splatoon 2 This is the new version of that. I love that mode It's a lot of fun with friends I like how this trailer started with that chopper coming on in like they're playing warzone dropping in the in the war Sorry, I am very excited for this this game looks really good. I can't wait for it. The music was a little wonk though This music is giving me anxiety anyone else from here I gotta be honest. I'm pretty sure if I remember correctly. I mean it was like 10 minutes ago We we just kind of go through a lot of ports a lot of ports and HD remasters Some of them really cool. Some of them kind of black. Oh and this okay This is kind of interesting, but not exciting Disney Has made a Mario Kart honestly could be a hot take. I don't think every franchise needs a Mario Kart game Please don't cancel me on Twitter. You can play as Jack Sparrow and Donald Duck It's kind of like Kingdom Hearts caught really the interesting thing is it's it's developed by game loft the people that made Asphalt and the one thing I will say about that is the asphalt series is a very well made game But I don't care it looks it does look good though That's so cute. I God what can you actually do that in the game Kirby car car Kirby Kirby? Can eat a car what okay? I will say this was also super hype I know we we've been knowing about Kirby, but we got another look at it and these new weird Giant change job. What did they call it? They called it something mouthful mode. That's so good They took so much inspiration from Mario Odyssey and you can see it the way that Mario could like Happy on to like anything like lampposts and people and frogs Kobe really ran with that idea and thought how can we do that with Kobe? Oh, I know we'll have Kobe eat our whole car And we'll have his little feet dangling out the back as he drives We'll have him eat a vending machine light bulbs like traffic cones I I think this game looks really fun Honestly, this might be one of my favorite games of the year and I'm not even that big of a Kirby guy It just looks like they've done a great job with this one I feel like I can say this without upsetting anyone maybe one person is like oh man. I love baseball, but like I don't I Don't care about baseball Another port, but this one. I'm excited about the clonoa games one and two are coming to switch They're we games that still look gorgeous if you haven't played those that's actually pretty good speaking of ports We have port tall one and two come in a switch great games Honestly feel like they should already have been on switch like if you had asked me if portal was on switch I would have guessed yes then kind of a port but way cooler live alive at a JRPG that Previously had only been released in Japan is getting that Octopath Traveler HD 2d overhaul and being released in here And it looks good. I mean I mean it honestly does look kind of sick It looks like triangle strategy which apparently as well jumping ahead triangle strategy The first three chapters are gonna be playable for free as a demo and dropped I think they said today. It's a new iteration of the Wii sports series a New Wii sports, this is okay. I'd oh my I don't know man We sports to electric boogaloo. We they made a Nintendo switch sports That is like a successor to the Wii sports. I gotta be honest. I'm kind of excited like This is what I meant by the two biggest real announcements were sports games Kind of weird but we got Mario soccer and then we have Nintendo switch sports Which has soccer also it has tennis like Mario tennis also there's golf coming and we have Mario golf It was like we don't need all these Nintendo sports games I think you should pick a lane Nintendo that said um Kind of excited the bowling they brought back bowling and you can do it online with like eight people Dude that'll be so fun for streams with other content creators It also looks like they're gonna try incorporating the leg strap That the one that they made for a ring fit but like adding that into this game, too Which is interesting you can you can right now on launch all you can do is kick a ball though They said more support for that is coming later for now It's gonna come with the game and you can attach it to your leg But the only thing you can do at launch is a mini game where you kick a ball into a goal You stand there and you you kick a ball so riveting Very exciting there Nintendo. Thank you Alright, I'll play some volleyball online together with mr. Koizumi. We're just gonna um, we're just gonna freeze right past when they played Volleyball for like 30 seconds because um, all right. Well, it's okay. It's okay. The game's not over Now the other team serves Koizumi receives it. Takahashi sets it up Metroid Dread DLC I think they did say they were gonna do this but I forgot there's a dread mode where you die in one hit Screw that don't care not trying it a rookie mode where it makes the game easier for little baby game No, I'm kidding. I've already finished it So there's no need to go back and play it on easy mode and then later on they're gonna add a boss rush mode But you can do all the bosses again, that's fine kind of cool I guess but I beat the game I beat the bosses. I gotta be honest dread isn't really the kind of game where I think anyone needs DLC I think you just kind of play that game and have fun, you know. Oh no, it's gonna be Earthbound I don't even know what to say about earthbound man This is bigger than it seems because if everyone plays this That'll tell Nintendo that there needs to be a mother three earthbound is Might be one of in like my it's definitely in my top five Favorite RPGs of all time. I love earthbound every time Nintendo acknowledges earthbound in any way shape or form I get excited because I think They know they know it exists. They haven't forgot about it earthbound and Oh, the earthbound beginnings dropping on the switch like today part of the Nintendo online service I hope if enough people download them and play them. They'll seriously think about earthbound 3 the creator of earthbound Retweeted the direct before it went live getting everyone excited. Obviously. This is why I just I Just Hmm then we have a montage just gonna move past it We have a montage montage of a bunch of games coming to switch that a lot of them look really good this next thing I can't I can't decide if I'm excited about this or annoyed about this first way I'm not sure if I should be really excited or disappointed I'm so conflicted and I feel I feel like I need your help figuring this one out guys because I just I don't know how to feel Mario Kart eight Deluxe which was a Wii U game released in like 2016 like I don't even remit like five years ago It's DLC for the last game and I know what you're thinking you're thinking to yourself wood Oh, what are we talking about couple courses here? You know like maybe like eight hold your hats hold your little We be Nintendo hats because it gets insane. We're not talking eight courses. We're not talking 16 courses We're not talking 24 courses. Whoa, whoa Additional courses we plan on releasing that the end of just make a new game Fort remastered recreated from the ground up old-school Mario Kart courses that you know and love recreated and Crammed into the Wii U version of Mario Kart 8 even from the original Mario Kart on Super Nintendo, but Gameboy Advance DS 3ds Mario Kart tour they even remade maps from the mobile game It'll be interesting to play double-dash courses not in a double-dash cart. Maybe they'll add a double-dash mode. This is Insane, honestly. This is one of them things where like you expect Nintendo to zig and they zag I feel like that's always the case you always expect Nintendo to zig and they absolutely 100% of the time zag but this is like they zagged and then they zigged back just to fake you out and then right as you Got comfortable they zacked again And now you're just so so zigzagged. You don't even know where you began or where you're left off I think this can definitely confirms no Mario Kart 9 on the switch eight courses to be released over time until the end of 2023 my god This is literally we're at the start of 2022. This is a two-year long plan I go back and forth on how I feel about this because on one hand sick, you know It's essentially like we're getting a new game. There was nothing wrong with Mario Kart 8 I still love picking it up and playing it now So we're essentially getting new game amount of content for half the price gets even better If you've already up to the $50 expansion pack because you get all of it for free included in that So you get a whole nother Mario Kart game for so on one hand sick on the other hand I've played Mario Kart 8 and new courses would be good But I kind of want a new iteration with new mechanics and like new visuals and like read again I kind of want new new, but this is new. It's not new new, but it's new and I don't know how to feel about that It's not it's exciting, but it's it's front. It's frustrating in a way, and then they As I said in my Pokemon review you wrapped the entire direct up in a turd colored bone Don't know man will be our last announcement. What's already is it Zelda or Mario? No, that's too mean they wrapped it all up with Xenoblade 3 which um, you know, that's fine I am very very excited for everybody who loves Xenoblade if you love Xenoblade This is probably the best direct you've ever seen So there's gonna be a subsection of people watching this that couldn't be more happier with this direct. I I Still looking at this. It just kind of looks like a little bit more of the same None of these characters really stand out as unique characters either. I don't know not Super Attached to that game yet. I will give it a shot though. I Will give it a shot and then that was it. That was that's how it ended um That's all for today's Nintendo Direct Thank you for watching You know what there were things I thought we would definitely see breath of the wild 2 still doesn't have a title or a release date Genshin impact was nowhere to be seen again And I feel like at this point I should just give up trying but a letter 3 still has no release date Literally nothing about Metroid Prime still probably the only time we're gonna hear from Nintendo until E3 So at this point I think we can expect to see some of that in months time Which is why I feel like we needed we needed some announced I actually thought we would see the Mario movie and I was kind of looking forward to that even Weirdly so I I think we just kind of didn't see what we needed to see But you know watching this back right now and breaking it down I think there was a bit more than what I remembered watching it the first time I think it's pretty I think I think I have to say it was a mid direct in my completely unbiased opinion It was very mid. I don't think it was bad I don't think it was what we needed and I also don't think it was even that good I it's tough because you know sometimes I feel like they're bangers Sometimes I feel like that and I just feel like this one was a little bit. I feel like it was very heavy on the ports and Not heavy on information and the couple of announcements We got with sports games and that we're getting new Mario Kart maps and we kind of already knew about Xenoblade, so I Don't want to be that guy. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I know I feel like if I have nothing nice To say I shouldn't say anything, but I need to make videos for the channel and I need to react to this I can't not I want to know what you guys think. Let me know down below leave your comments like the video subscribe I just I just I just Don't know if that was it for me I feel like we could have I could have it was fine. It was fine. It was a mid It was it was fine. I'm gonna get roasted. I'm so sorry. Please don't unsub. I hate I hate it. I hate it when I don't like it. Bye everyone
