Welp it might happen. They usually rebuff this question, this is way different.

Between this and Nintendo's commits about companies they acquire needing "Nintendo DNA," I can't help but think about how oddly friendly Nintendo has been with Platinum. There was Nintendo bankrolling Bayonetta 2 out of the blue, them just giving platinum ownership of W101 for free, and Kamiya has seemed pretty friendly with Nintendo associated people like Sakurai and Iwata.

the direct was explicitly focused on the first half of 2022 so it’s not surprising that BOTW and Prime weren’t shown

especially since Prime 4’s never gonna be seen again

yea if BOTW 2 isn't shown at this year's E3 then I'd be concerned about it, but it was reasonable to not expect anything about it in this direct

Yeah yeah I have bad game opinions.

That's ok, that's the first step to getting better.

Was it a hit of a direct? Maybe not, if you're judging by major IP announcements, but drat if it wasn't the next best thing. You still got word of Kirby and Splatoon, which if you're not counting those as major IP, I don't know what you're thinking. They're easily both as big if not bigger than Metroid (which we just got a new game of). And ok, we already knew both of those were coming out and maybe Mouthful mode isn't working for you.

I'm a JRPG junkie and just seeing Chrono Cross and Live A Live out/coming out is incredible since I never thought I'd play those. New games are good, but accessibility and archival talent is on a whole other plane. I have Mother 1+2 already but it's still great to have them on a current system.

And Mario Kart, how is that not freaking the best news? I never wanted MK 9 and new games of stuff like that Smash are better off just being ported and revamped. It doesn't need a whole new engine.

If people are talking about the PSP it's because as good as the Switch is having BoF 1+2, it's still missing others. But that's no one's fault.

Speaking of, is the Chrono Cross remake Switch exclusive out of curiosity?

I hope not, exclusivity is lame and dumb.

Nope, seems it’s coming to Steam, Xbox One, and PS4 as well:

The combat does kind of suck, and enemies respawn every time you change screens so if you backtrack you have to fight things all over again. A lot of people also find the plot pretty dull when you get to New Dam City and have to run errands to find food ingredients to impress the casino boss.

I felt similarly, and I feel like a lot of people ended up burning out on it. Gorgeous pixel art and atmosphere, but not enough holding it together minute to minute.

They announced a vague Spring 2022 release date for the Min-Min, Alex & Steve amiibos, but haven't said anything yet.

Amiibos typically release alongside a new game. So possibly around Switch Sports or Mario Strikers.

I’m extremely hyped for Xenoblade Chronicles 3 and Splatoon 3, plus they announced several games nobody knew were in development because they are good at keeping secrets. Anyone who says this Direct was bad is a wiener.

The game supposedly tied 1 and 2 together so she may be related. That and Xenoblade liked to give the different races different regional accents.

So probably
