I think that was a good Direct to bridge the gap to E3. If E3 Direct sucks, then I'll retroactively downgrade this one, but I am pleased with what I saw assuming E3 will be OK.

Splatoon horde mode looks actually fun unlike the Gears one.

I'm disappointed a new Kirby game got announced... for 3DS. What the gently caress, Nintendo. I think the 3DS has enough games by now.

It's not there yet.

Arms looks rad. Sucks about the summer release but whatever. I'm hoping they put out an orange joycon for Splatoon or something. Also those joycon charge packs look like they could make them more comfortable to hold.

They probably really want a portable Nights of Azure that doesn't look like a PSP release.

You can literally make it from one corner of the map to the other thanks to elixir chugging and having a poo poo ton of bomb arrows (which you fire at the ground and use the fire to ride updrafts).

:aaa:

Not that I've had any bomb arrows for awhile, but still cool to know.

They're too busy spamming the gently caress out of anyone who joined the official Payday 2 group on Steam.

Firis sold far less than Sophie did at Japanese launch, and their attempt to cash in on Atelier for 3DS failed miserably. Azure is at least different in style.

Hot takes: payday2 is not gonna do poo poo on the Switch. The Pikmin, FE, and Kirby games look good. ARMS looks way better than I expected. Splatoon2 looks amazing. Mine craft on switch is going to be a ridiculously good system seller for the sole reason of being able to play mine craft on the go

I feel like kids being able to take their Switch to a friend's and the two of them can mess around in Minecraft on their own systems will make it super appealing.

One more thing of interest in today's region-free world, two Japanese indie games were announced to come out today. The first two in this video. I don't have the Switch with me so I have no idea if they're out already or not.

This was to be expected. There's no reason to think it'd be profitable outside of Japan (DQMSL's SEA version is already dead it seems). Still kinda sucks though. :(
