- ARMS looks super fun, and I'm definitely interested now (I first became intrigued when I found that motion controls are optional, this presentation sealed it for me)
- New JoyCon color is OK, but I really wish they'd give the same love to the Pro Controller, we've already got 4 JoyCon colors to one PC color (minor gripe, the controller is already phenomenal)
- the 3DS stuff wasn't interesting, good thing that was just a flyover
- PayDay 2 surprises me
- I'm liking the NeoGeo support but I wish there were some better choices (Garou and Samurai Shodown 4 are nice but I'd kill for Metal Slug X, Samurai Shodown 2, either of the Last Blade titles, Windjammers, and King of Fighters 2000)
- EXTREMELY surprised we didn't get a Nindies sizzle reel
- I have no particular hype for Splatoon so that didn't do anything for me
- I gotta take half a point off for not taking the perfect opportunity to tease a big game for a proper E3 reveal, the time between now and then would be a perfect timespan to build hype and generate buzz
- overall, I would rate this Direct about 7.5/10
I'm glad we mostly got piddly stuff outside of ARMS and Spla2n, E3 will hopefully be far more of a bombshell. At minimum, we're probably gonna get more Mario Odyssey, Zelda DLC, and Virtual Console gubbins.
