Announcements In order announced:

I liked the Direct, even though new announcement for first party were pretty much all remakes, but since Switch is my first Nintendo console, I loved all those announcements.

What do you all think about it?

    Side order and mariokart be looking good. league expanding outside of their MOBA and lore expansion is cute. Probably looking to capitalism off the show. Contra looks good even if it’s not “new”. Gf texted me demanding SpyXAnya.

    But Jesus there was like 3 or 4 Turn Based RPGs with medieval settings and sprite artwork. In competition with Fire Emblem how is there this many? Good for competition I guess.

    These remakes (Luigi mansion 2) are great and all but it really shows that if the cartridge slot had been 3ds sized from the beginning they wouldn’t be able to sell you these games again. LM2 isn’t that old to need a remake but they EoL’d the 3ds so here we are. Pretty diverse announcement set.

      Unicorn Overlord is from Vanillaware though- I’m willing to give anything coming from them a shot.

        Same here. Though, I still haven’t tried 13 Sentinels, so can’t say anything about their recent games. Loved their 2D brawler / RPG ones.

          Highly recommend 13 Sentinels if you’re a fan of visual novels. Simply beautiful with great music and characters. If you’re not a fan of VNs though, the RTS gameplay is so minimal that I wouldn’t bother. It’s well-designed and enjoyable but barely 10% of the runtime.

            Oh, it’s on my wish list, I just have a huuuuge wishlist and a backlog, so haven’t gotten around to it yet.

      I think it’s kind of a genre revival. The genre was very under represented for a long time, so probably many devs started working on such games, and then ended up releasing them all close to each other.
