It pretty much had everything I was expecting, minus pokemon, which will likely have its own announcement soon since the anniversary is coming up. I was expecting a new smash fighter, AoC DLC, and SSHD... unfortunately, though I'm going to get it, SSHD barely interests me since the game looked terrible before and still looks terrible now (in terms of graphics, at least, I don't hate the game as a whole), another new swordfighter in smash is disappointing, and they didn't even show any of the actual new AoC content. It's Zelda's 35th this year and they have yet to even acknowledge it or Metroid's.
The highlight for me was Project Triangle Strategy. I haven't played Octopath Traveler yet but still have tons of time to. I love tactical gameplay and I love the game's style so I'm excited to try it. I downloaded the demo and will likely play it later today.
Everything else was a lot of nothing. Except Splatoon 3 of course, though since I haven't actually played Splatoon it didn't do much for me - I do recognize that for many people that probably made the direct and I totally get it.
Overall, the direct was fairly lackluster for me, especially for the first full direct in a year and a half. Disappointed, to say the least, though I haven't not been disappointed in a direct in a very long time and it was admittedly better than most of the others. I just hope Nintendo steps it up a bit soon since they don't have much lined up for this year that's noteworthy at this point.
