I'll talk about some stuff I'm interested in from the Nintendo Direct from two nights ago.
Pikmin 4 is one of the main games I'm looking forward to. I find the games really stressful but I do enjoy them. There's a sheepdog-like thing in it now which is a nice new surprise. Pikmin does feel like herding sheep so it suits the game.
Samba de Amigo: Party Central would've gotten me very excited, but you just know they're going to DLC it to death. Amigo looks like he's been decapitated and his head placed on some random Just Dance figure.
Decapolice and Bayonetta Origins aren't really hooking me in that much but there may be something for me there. I'd have to see more of what they're like so I'll keep an eye on them.
Disney Illusion Island seems decent enough for a 2D platformer. Hope the single player is good. This is made by the same crowd who made the new Battletoads game so they have some experience at least.
Octopath Traveler II has a demo! I'm gonna get the game anyway.
We Love Katamari Reroll+ Royal Reverie is nice to see coming along. That extra bit with the king might be something worth checking out.
Sea of Stars has a demo as well and it looks really good! Looks like it has a Chrono Trigger feel in its basic gameplay and it features one of its composers too! Font looks decently legible as well. This I really should try.
Omega Strikers has an air hockey theme, which I really like. Could be fun.
Etrian Odyssey Origins Collection compiles a series I never played but fans I know really want the physical version to be released in English. Feeling sorry for them right now.
Advance Wars 1+2: Re-boot Camp is finally coming out! Delighted to see this game getting unbanned!
Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe I was gonna skip because I have the original, but I'm really tempted by the Magolor epilogue now.
I'm pretty shocked they just announced and released Metroid Prime Remastered straight away with the physical version soon to follow. No hype or anything and it looks better than any Zelda HD remake ever did. How long was this in development? It just came out of nowhere.
Baten Kaitos I & II HD I didn't ask for, but I knew a few people who did. I better catch up with them to ask how happy they are.
Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time has a really bad title, but, like the original game that came out during the aftermath of the Great Recession, you can live out the fantasy of having a job.
Zelda Tears of the Kingdom has voiceover from the bad guy, whoever it is and some footage of cars and flying machines. Nice little update.
