    I texted my wife about the Mana Collection being released today, and she texted me back "So you're playing Secret of Mana right now?"

    I love her, she GETS me.

    Hey, so there was no mention of new Switch hardware in the Direct. Safe to assume that if the rumor was true, and they are planning it, they won't announce it at E3? I assume that any big announcements would be made during the Direct.

    You know, Empire of Sin is looking a little Omerta: City of Gangsters-ish.

    I liked Omerta.

    Collection of Mana just went up. You have to search for it.

    $40?! Ffffhahahahaha nope! I would've picked it up right now for $20, but $40? F outta here!

    It's 3 fucking games.

    Yeah exactly

    I can get 20 Castlevania and Contra games for the same price

    Well, one of the games has never been released outside of Japan. So there's that I guess.

    Neither had Kid Dracula.

    $40 for Collection of Mana seems a bit steep. The Contra one is only $20. DekuDeals, do your thang!

    Yeah but Contra games are short and difficult. Mana games have a story and are lengthier. So it's a bit different to compare the two.

    But I can't blame anyone for waiting. I need more SoM in my life.

    The one concern I have about that Dark Crystal game is how SLOW that combat looked.

    It looked like a TO:LUCT style game?

    That Breath of the Wild 2 reveal was unexpected and completely wild. I am so hyped for that. I mean we know almost no details but that's a world I absolutely want to explore more. It seems like it's going to focus more on the underground? Lots of darkness?

    I need this.

    Has anyone tried playing the music from the zelda bow2 trailer backwards? It sounds weird, and maybe actually like something reversed.

    That was my thought as well. The first couple of notes definitely gave me that vibe.

    they did, nothing interesting in it in reverse

    I thought that was a pretty solid Direct. Best presentation out of the bunch for me.

    Somewhat interested in Pokemon because I've never played one before
    Very interested in Animal Crossing because it looks like Stardew++
    Interested in Astral Chain
    Interested in Daemon X Machina (I enjoyed the demo)
    Interested in the HD Link's Awakening (another game I've never played)
    Interested in all the Mana and SaGa stuff (again, more games I've never played)
    Luigi's Mansion 3 looks cute... not sure if that's enough for me to get it, but I look forward to seeing it broken in future GDQs
    And, of course, the BotW sequel... fuck yes

    The only things I didn't care for at all were the Smash characters (don't play it) and Fire Emblem, whose dialogue was pure Shonen keyword salad ("The way to win is through friendship and our true hearts and blah blah blah blah blah!").

    And, yeah, I wish they had announced SNES games on their online service, or some other things (can we get real theming options at some point?), but overall I thought it was good.

    Maybe it's because I'm old and tired, but I find myself increasingly gravitating towards games that are lighthearted and/or expressive/colorful. Outside of some notable exceptions (Cyberpunk, 12 Minutes, that time loop game from Bethesda), I've had my fill of grim/grimey, super serious BS in games. So, for me, Nintendo is a much needed counterpoint to the rest of the industry.

    Ok, so between PS4 and the Switch, I cannot afford or have the time for all of the games coming out. So lets plan the essentials and then the discounted buys.

    June: Mario Maker 2
    November: Pokemon Sword
    Luigi's Mansion 2
    Animal Crossing
    Link's Awakening
    Star Wars: Fallen Order
    Final Fantasy VII Remake
    Collection of Mana

    I want but will wait for a sale:

    Ultimate Alliance 3
    Deamon X Machina

    Need to see more but will probably buy because I'm weak:

    Avengers
    Astral Chain

    It does and that's totally my thing, but I mean the actual attack animations. A lot of them looked like slow-motion and I can see that getting super annoying. I just rewatched the trailer and it feels like some are running at 75% speed of what it 'should' be. To me anyways. Maybe it's an adjustable factor

    I think we all initially assumed it was going to be DLC. As soon as they announced full sequel, I don't think that anymore

    I couldn't tell because the stream kept crapping out, but how does it look? Is it a remaster of the PS1s or a direct port? I'd be down for a remaster.

    It's the same as the PS4 version. Remakes.

    It's the collection that came out on the PS4 so it'd be the remaster remake. Edit: Keep getting my terminology mixed up.

    Is there any avenue to getting the old Banjo games on Switch?

    Not yet. Maybe in the future since MS seems to have a warmer relationship with Nintendo now?

    I'm crossing my fingers for BK1, 2, and Nuts and Bolts.

    That's right, I said Nuts and Bolts. It's a perfectly great game in its own right. It's only sin is that it's not Banjo-Kazooie 3, which honestly was a fair point of criticism at the time.

    Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 on the Treehouse stream right now. Looks like new characters will join the team at certain points during the plot like in X-Men Legends, rather than just dumping everybody on you all at once like in all the other games.

    I prefer it this way. Gives everyone at least a little time to shine and introduce them to the uninitiated. Like myself.

    Been catching bits of the treehouse stream. They showed off some animal crossing gameplay, and when talking about the game clock reflecting real world time they say now the seasons will accurately reflect what hemisphere you are playing in. They said previous games all seasons worked on northern hemisphere only.

    It’s just nice to have the X-Men being in a Marvel game with other characters again.

    Ah, watching it, I just assumed they were playing them at a slower speed. But most of these games nowdays also have an option to speed up attack animations.

    That was a solid direct. Got chills when I saw the beast head with that Dragoon shape. It's a little weird to see Panzer Dragoon without the Saturn aesthetics (didn't play the Xbox one) but I really want to know more about this one. And if they do a good job I would by two copies just to open the gates for the sequel and Saga.
