I've tried making this video like six times and it's just so hard for me not to get bummed out and then start getting negative and just go on about all the bad stuff So I need a preface this by saying it was a very boring direct and I didn't like it So if you don't want to hear it you may as well leave but I will say that It definitely cater to a certain kind of person and there's gonna be a certain kind of person that loves this direct But I keep going back through it. I keep looking over it I keep tallying up things about it and it just it's so clear to me that it's just not it wasn't good I mean there was like It was all RPGs which is fine if you love RPGs But it was like Square Enix just going absolutely ham with the quarterly budget here on the Nintendo switch There were like several different farming sim games. It was just gonna be a farming RPG Oh my god Which again I like sim games, but at some point it felt like I was losing my mind Two of the trailers for these farming sim games were essentially the same You might even meet your future partner and start a family to help you enjoy more quality time with your in-game spouse And then most of what Nintendo brought to the party was DLC Free updates and paid updates for their games that they've already released and a couple of them fine You know like Mario Kart That's really I love that game and playing the DLC when it comes out is fun for the day And then you just never played again and then Zeno played three which I don't want to get into that too much because I'm still working on my review But that's got good DLC so I'm fine. It's whatever but games like Mario strikers getting D.O.C That game is gone just give it up It wasn't good you have baked it from the start you're releasing this free DLC now like it's supposed to be exciting It's a couple of characters. It doesn't change anything. No one cares Released off that makes the game better release a single player release something fun add something to the game And then you have like switch sports which that game released full price classic Nintendo with a bunch of empty promises of all these things Coming later and here we are months later and we're only now finding out about golf Yay and it's also been delayed the delayed golf that it more time to work on golf It's releasing in the holiday because nothing says Christmas like playing a few rounds of golf with the boys There was some really cool things in here. Obviously I'm a big Zelda fan. So that was really exciting To a point and we'll get there But a couple of really cool announcements in a 40 minute long dragged out direct filled with square Enix farming and RPGs Does not make a good direct it would if all of those games were sick by the way, but a lot of them just look like this What is this the worst art style I have ever seen also just a very boring looking game, but all right Okay, let's take a step back and look at the things that were actually good. I want to clarify. I'm just I'm just a little Burned out and frustrated and tired and it's not just Nintendo. It's the state of the world I mean Xbox has been nothing this year as well PlayStation has been struggling to stay afloat and to be honest Nintendo is really doing the best job out of everyone at getting releases out constantly Or be it some of them being very lackluster, but at least things are happening God, I went a little hard there. Sorry. Let me reel it back in all right Now I got all that out my system. We can take a look at the stuff. I really liked there's a new fire emblem The warriors of our actually fire embellished one it is more fire emblem I made it sweet yesterday by the way. I was like All we want from this direct is new fire emblems in a blade and new Kirby I had no idea Nintendo was gonna take that seriously That was a joke because people are so burned out on all of these things, but regardless this is a brand new full fire emblem game. I loved three hopes and I'm really excited for this It is a tough sell for me right now because I'm so burned out on RPGs You know, I'm still trying to play through zine blade three. I'm hours into that Live alive got put on the backbone or because of that game and I try playing triangle strategy And I just didn't have the time and fell out of it. I need to get back to it I have to get back to it quick because octopath two is on the way and it's like yeah I'm really excited for that because it's octopath and I thought they were done with octopath I thought triangle strategy was then moving on from octopath so to find out I'm getting a new octopath Let's say it another time is so exciting, but at the same time It's a big chore and an undertaking and I'm just not ready for it I need something else. I need a fun like action game or something short give me something short god I never thought I would ask for a game that was only eight hours But I would die for that right now in Nintendo those two by the way Easily the biggest and most hyped reveals of this entire thing in my opinion because these are games getting revealed for the first time With story and cinematics and gameplay that is what I love in these directs and those were the two that did that We had Pikmin 4 Title screen. It's kind of hard to get excited for a title So there's really not much I can say about that. I do love Pikmin though, but again, I'm just I'm not a guy that can get excited for a title, which is also why Oh more gameplay Oh my god look at his hair. I'm like I look at him full If that's all we get I'm gonna vomit the legend of Zelda give me a title Tears of the kingdom I have chills Tears of the kingdom oh my god, we got a title baby That's kind of all this direct was for a title And I'm released date. Ah me me me In the moment. I love it finding out it's in May is great because that's a hard date It's a little further away than I would like, but it's a hard date. Hopefully no more delays um But you know that's that's what that is and it's that was the end of the direct really what I got most excited for Personally in this whole thing was 007 golden eye coming to the switch Yo Golden eye No way Ah that gave me chills that gave me chills that's the most high thing so far and it's just golden I'm coming back with the four-player online multiplayer That is insane. I can't wait to play that So I'm really at the point when my most excited thing from the entire event was a 64 game And sure if we skimmed through there are some other things I could pick apart You know, but for the most part it's things that we already knew about I'm very excited for Bayonetta. We already had a release date I'm very excited for Mario and rabbits. We already had a release date There was a couple acute in these two Nick has been out for a while But I've been waiting to play it for when it comes to switch so I am excited for that But just being this far into the year so here's where I'm at You know, I keep struggling because in on one side I want to react to the direct you know, I want to review the direct and the direct was boring On the other side there is a couple really cool announcements that we can get excited about You know, Fire Emblem Octopath at title reveal for Pikmin 4 and Zelda I guess that's kind of just the video and it feels weird me not making a video about a direct I always make a video about a direct but um I think that really is all I've got here and also I want to add most of the cool stuff isn't coming until next year either So so much for focusing on winter Whenever do a reaction I need you guys to do a poll with me right now How was this direct okay? YouTube chat likes to gaslight me and make me feel like I'm insane And that I'm trying to just get clicks on something no I was here with my chat and we watched it live So we got 11% currently in great We've got 30% in mid 30% in terrible and 30% in I liked it but only Kazelta to those that say great your wild to those that say great I mean everyone can like what they like and I love you but clearly you really like RPGs and farming games I liked Fire Emblem 2 I liked Fire Emblem 2 there was only so many spots on the list though It was a very mid direct I don't have much to say about it I still wanted to try and make a video I'm gonna try and edit this right now and if I don't like the way it sounds I might not even upload this But I will be live on Twitch tonight with some with some temtem and I want to watch state of play So it's gonna be a really fun stream on Twitch tonight. I lose my mind making these direct videos Like comment and subscribe and I'll see you tonight on Twitch. I am sorry
