My Nintendo Direct Reactions
Jun. 18th, 2024 02:14 pmI had no idea that Nintendo Direct happened today! I opened up as Discord chat seeing people posting youtube links to the game trailers. Bern and I have this tradition of getting up early and watching them together. I guess we have been so preoccupied that Bern has forgotten to tell me about it. It's very likely that I may not even get to any of these games for quite awhile, but I am excited to see what kind of games developers came up with. There were a handful of games that I did not expect to get released.
Here are my reactions:


Oooooh, a Dragon Quest 3 remake! I don't have any way of connecting super old games to an older tv at the moment, so this will be convenient way for me to enjoy this game in a remake form.

Ahhhhhhh! Looks like we'll be getting 1 & 2 as well!

I think Bern might like this game, since he's a big Mario fan. He'll update me his reactions and talk more about it once he gets home.

I could see my ten year old self really loving this. I noticed there are some adventure plays & house decoration elements, like in Animal Crossing. I'm not sure how the game play is.... It might be okay! Otherwise, the graphics looks stinkin' cute. I probably might play this around my sister.


I was NOT expecting a sports game with Looney Tunes, just like how I didn't expect that I would be Bugs Bunny Castle on the gameboy. As soon as I saw Lola Bunny, I cackled.
This looks like this could be a fun game, especially revolving around basketball. I do like the physical mechanics for Nintendo Switch Sports- Basketball.

Just like with other Square Enix games (Dragon Quest Games, Visions of Mana, & Final Fantasy). I am putting Romancing Saga 2 on my list. The trailer screen caps reminds me of Dragon Quest 11 with the scenery, voice acting, & game play structure, so I hope to give this a try!

Well, I now know that this is their dominant branding when it comes to Zelda title cards: massive landscape shot with a protagonist in a scenery. Zelda is now the protagonist in this game, she looks so Polly-Pocket..so I am looking forward to this!



Her main weapon in this game is a staff that makes "echoes" of furniture, common objects, elements, and enemies. I'm digging her little hoodie cloak.

What?!?! And I was also not expecting this. The trailer for Metroid Prime 4 looks beautiful. For all those Metroid fans who've been waiting-- I am very happy for them.
