Didn't have time to type up my thoughts yesterday, but the Direct was great! Easily my favorite one in a while. These were the highlights, IMO:
Pikmin 4
Xenoblade Chronicles 3 DLC
Dead Cells: Return to Castlevania
Bayonetta Origin
Splatoon 3 expansion
Octopath Traveler II
Sea of Stars
Advance Wars 1 + 2
Kirby's Return to Dreamland Deluxe
Game Boy / Game Boy Color games
Game Boy Advance games
Metroid Prime remaster
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe wave 4
Tears of the Kingdom
Dead Cells has been on my to play list for a while. I'm definitely going to have to get around to that now, because that Castlevania DLC looks awesome!
I'm glad the Splatoon 3 expansion was confirmed, but I wish they had given us more info. Wave 1 is basically nothing as far as I'm concerned, it just changes the hub back to the city from the first game. I want to know what actual content is being added in Wave 2, and when it's coming.
I'm so excited for Sea of Stars! Glad we finally have a release date for that.
I've been looking forward to Advance Wars ever since I played SteamWorld Heist, so I'm glad that one is finally coming out.
Game Boy games! They're getting closer and closer to just having their entire catalog available on the Switch!
It's about time they finally confirmed the Metroid Prime remaster. It's disappointing that we're not getting the whole trilogy all at once like on the Wii. But, at least they're only charging $40 and not $60 for it. I'll wait until I can get it for $25-30. I don't have much experience with the game, only tried it once. Does this remaster look like much of an improvement? Some of the shots looked really good, others looked like a GC game lol.
We knew Wave 4 was coming, so no big surprise there. I'm glad we're getting another brand new track, but more importantly, a new character! I didn't expect new characters in any of these waves. Birdo has been requested for a long time, that was a good one to add.
While I enjoyed the Tears of the Kingdom trailer, they still didn't show that much! I want to see some actual gameplay and get some concrete info about what's new in this game. I'll admit, when it first ended, I was very disappointed, and felt more than ever that it was going to just be BotW 2.0 (or 1.5). But after re-watching it a couple times and reading Reddit comments pointing out things they spotted, I'm actually pretty excited. I'm starting to have more hope that this game is going to be a huge improvement over BotW!

just beat the Sea of Stars demo. Really good. Looking forward to it as I did the Kickstarter. Will be getting on Steam though.

Sea of Stars demo, this is being made by the people who made The Messenger @Scott
I know! I'd be excited for this game just because it's an RPG made in the style of classic 16-bit RPGs. But, the fact that it's made by the same developers who made The Messenger takes it to a whole other level!

Your excitement is my fear. I want BotW 2.0 just like I wanted Zelda 2.0 and OoT 2.0. Instead I got two of my least favorite Zelda games in AoL and MM.

I think we've seen enough to safely say they're not going to change things up THAT much. There's no way this is an AoL or MM situation. I just wanted to see SOME changes/improvements.

Wouldn't this be more comparable to ALBW based on what we've seen? And that game is generally well liked. I just wish they would show some dungeon footage. There has to be some in the game!

Anyone try the Octopath 2 demo yet?
Just for 20 minutes last night. I'll play it more today. Started out with the thief.

Okamiden is another game I played that reused the same world but still felt like a fresh experience. So I'm still looking forward to this! It's not like I've ever truly been disappointed by a Zelda game. But still, I want to know about the dungeons.
Also, the trailer appeared to show redeads and a Gleeok on a bridge. Not sure what those flying creatures are.

I started playing Cathedral. Clearly the developers wanted to create a Metroidvania with an art style like Shovel Knight. The game is decent, but there's nothing special about it.

I’m about 3/4 through cathedral. I really like it, it grows on you as the map opens up. I think it’s better than shovel knight in many regards.

On TOTK vs BOTW, I would be very happy if its like the improvements to Horizon Zero Dawn to Forbidden West. BOTW had to be pushing the Switch Hardware too, TOTK if improves as much as HFW did on the 1st one that should hit the right middle spot of BOTW 2.0 Fans and Others that want More.
Dead Cells Castlevania was a Must play Beauty!
I DL The GB and GBA Apps last night. Look forward to playing Wario Land 3 again.

Is there a GBA game prettier than The Minish Cap? I simply do not think so.

While I don't think I'll make time to replay this, Golden Sun was probably my favorite GBA experiences. I can barely remember the games that I played on GBA, but I'll never forget Golden Sun. I was glad to see it coming to the NSO offerings in the future.

I’ve never played Golden Sun, I’ll be sure to give it a go whenever it drops on NSO. The screenshots do look pretty (just not as pretty as the 10/10 Minish Cap
)
