I was away from the internet (yes, there's still places in the world that get no reception) for a few days, and Nintendo decided to launch this Direct on us.
So I just had the opportunity to see it.
1. Link's Awaking was my favorite 2D Zelda, so the announcement started amazing by the intro and then my heart sunk when I saw the visuals... I absolutely loathe that 'art style' and expected (but dreamed of full sprites which I knew we'd never get) something closer to A Link Between Worlds from a remake, rather than... This...
I haven't played DX yet, and I honestly find that far more appealing than this look, it almost looks like a demake to me. The last time I was this disgusted by a game's visuals was the mobile release of FFXV, but that wasn't a remake of one of my favorite Zelda games and I couldn't care less, this is heartbreaking...
2. Astral Chain looks like one of those games with a typical crappy anime story you couldn't care less about but amazing gameplay. Now, the whole two-players chained together bit makes me worry they will force co-op on us, but hopefully is optional and it translates well in single player. So I'll keep my eye on this one considering I can play it solo.
3. Nothing else truly stood out for me. Daemon X Machina was sold to me pretty early on, nothing changed on that front. The new Fire Emblem game looks great, but since I'm unfamiliar in the series it is highly unlikely I'll get acquainted with it with a new entry. Getting screwed over by DQXI 'Definitive' edition exclusive content, potentially remaining exclusive to the Switch, is nothing new and part of the course for modern gaming (I keep expecting Octopath Traveler Definitive Edition for other systems to be announced any day now).
So yeah, not that eventful, Metroid Prime Trilogy HD was again not announced but at least there's some more new stuff for the Switch to look out for, though I think since Smash released the system is missing that big title to wait for, by E3 Nintendo may have more for us though.
