You should've clarified which Direct!
Oops ! I meant a proper direct, of course XD
I've really dragged my feet on Prime 4 and Bananza, but that upcoming slate is pretty bare
Really looking forward to fire emblem and personally hoping for a shift in tone from Engage again to something akin to three houses. but i just generally need more first party games here
As long as we don't have to repeat same parts multiple times, I am all in for that.
That's not much. But usually we get a direct arround june. If nintendo continues to release a game each month, we get Fire Emblem in August?
I am hoping there will be more announcements, specially something for end of the year. Though, with one game a month, we only have 3 empty months this year, so who knows.
Still waiting for a banger that makes me Want to purchase the Switch 2. The current games are decent but won’t grab me for long.
Keeping things realistic, which game will make you want to Switch 2? 3D Mario? 3D Zelda? Something else?
A game that comes very close to Mario Wonder and a new Zelda game (non-remake). I know there’s Donkey Kong bananza but that one just doesn’t seem to grab me when I check gameplays.
I was hyped for the new Mario kart but that ended up also being a “so-so” for me when watching gameplays and reading reviews.
We had both 3D and 2D Zeldas recently, so don't think we will be getting one soon. Same about 2D Mario. Let's keep the fingers crossed though.
