[video]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDedvre19es&t=1562s[/video] New Nintendo Direct! Talk about it here! In all honesty I was most excited for Team Kirby Clash DX, Kirby's Blowout Blast, and Miitopia, but I'm sure all the other stuff was interesting too. What are everyone else's thoughts?

Splatoon 2 Salmon Run looks like loads of fun. Also more amiibo for me to add to my collection. Arms still looks like a lot of fun too, definitely going to pick that one up. Can't say there was much else I cared too much about.

[list][*] 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[/list] 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.

Was ok. I like how Salmon Mode looks but Coco was less impressed, sadly.

I like Salmon Run because it gives me something to do other than kill other players. Also Payday 2 on Switch is just weird, especially since it's so OLD by this point. I can't see it taking off on the Switch. I also think yellow Joycon's look awful, but that's just me.

Hey! Pikmin is very, very strange. Splatterhouse being part of Namco Museum is interesting.

I actually hoped that Nintendo would show Neon Green Joycons after showing Neon Yellow Green Joycons. But nope, they didn't take on this opportunity. It would had made the perfect 4 player colours, like Red P1, Blue P2, Yellow P3 and Green P4.

Blessed squid amiibos... I will give them a loving home...

I thought the Nintendo Direct was okay. The only games that were announced in it that caught my attention were Namco Museum and Ultra Super Street Fighter 2. Arms looks pretty interesting and Splatoon 2 I am hyped for also. :blank:

[quote="Vertette"]Was ok. I like how Salmon Mode looks but Coco was less impressed, sadly.[/quote]Was I? I like that it's there and it's a great addition as it's a mode that's been missing in Splatoon 1 entirely. I just said I'm not sure whether I'd play it a lot, as I prefer splatting humans over CPUs. I also really hope there's more maps than just that one, because else it could get boring quickly. Overall, the direct was pretty okay. The only thing I really disliked was the new Sonic Forces footage.
