Thoughts on the new Nintendo Direct

Phantom Brave is ba-

Oh okay it looks like Disgaea 6 goodbye

Most of the first party games look cool! And can't wait for Metroid Prime 4 to come out!
(I'm still waiting for a Bee Movie Game Switch Port to happened.)

Anyway I love all the announcements and I am excited to get the newly announced games when they come out.

Also in a different thread I brought up that Pokémon reportedly may have announced a mini-channel on the BBC iPlayer for the Anime.Which is a bummer for me because I don’t have a VPN nor do I live in the U.K.

I'm excited for the Hello Kitty one since I've been wanting to play it, I didn't want to buy Apple arcade so I haven't gotten to yet.

Otherwise I don't think I'll end up buying anything. I sort of only play Splatoon.

I thought that the Nintendo Direct of June 2024 was pretty awesome in the game announcements and it doesn't disappoint.

Here were my favorite parts of the presentation:

Mario & Luigi: Brothership




It's nice to see a new installment in the Mario & Luigi series after its original developer AlphaDream went bankrupt in 2019. I love how it keeps the style of the original games (with Mario and Luigi retaining their black eyes instead of their standard blue eyes in almost every other Mario installment) and it looks very promising from the gameplay that was shown in the presentation. It definitely starts the Nintendo Direct on a high note and I can't wait for the game to come out.

Super Mario Party Jamboree




While I will admit that this game's title is very confusing (as it makes it sound like an expansion pack to Super Mario Party, which was first released back in 2018), the gameplay shown for the presentation makes it seem like it will have entirely new board game themes (I am particularly excited for the mall and race car boards), bring two boards back from the first and second game, and have an expanded playable character roster. I am particularly glad that Birdo (she is one of my favorite Mario side characters in the spin-offs) isn't relegated to a post-release update (with the exceptions of Mario Party Superstars and the Nintendo Switch version of Minecraft, where she is one of the skins available in the Super Mario Mash-up Pack) and will be available on launch. I can't wait to see the new minigames that will be on offer making use of both button and motion controls of the Joy-con.

The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom



While I'm not much of a fan of Zelda, I think this game's presentation is very neat and well done. I think it's about time that Zelda finally has her own game and follow in the steps of Princess Peach: Showtime! (which I thought was a fantastic game and a highlight of Nintendo's 2024 release schedule).

Some honorable mentions:

• Luigi's Mansion 2 HD: While its existence might be redundant to you if you already own the Nintendo 3DS version of the game, this game's presentation shows off the HD upgrades to the original game very well and might be worth spending money on again if you want to play it again in HD. I personally want to experience it again just for Polterpup alone.
• Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: While I personally have no interest in purchasing this game, this presentation is still a highlight for people that are into Capcom's fighting games (which I have personally never played before) and its very nicely laid out with great features and extras.
• Metroid Prime 4: Beyond: Definitely worth being saved for the last part of the presentation. While I have never played a Metroid game before, this is still very exciting news for people who have been waiting for Metroid Prime 4 for a while and the gameplay looks promising.

It's my insult for him when I want to fit in with the fandom, which is often anti Elmer. I rarely see an fan who is over 18 and won't bash or ignore Elmer.
