Nintendo Direct/Indie World/Treehouse/Showcase Discussion Thread - Directly 2 You

It did have RF5, which was my favourite thing about it.  My opinions on Stories 1 are well known.

I know I'm a few days late, but - thoughts? It really wasn't for me for the most part, but I did like the look of Alba and maybe Happy Game. I'm a fan of Amanita so far, although Happy Game felt a little try-hard from its trailer.

The stand outs for me were Spelunky 1+2, SMB forever & Cyber Shadow which is a good return for a 15 minute show. On another note they need to seriously either get new hosts for this or sack the person who came up with the attempts at humour in this as it was just rank rotten.

Agreed with all that, a good showing in the end. Who would you have host it instead? I'd have Jon Champion and Ally McCoist, natch.

A few okay things only Gnosia I really remember though, the others be ohh I remember seeing that and it looked neat.

Plus for me Cyber Shadow has been confirmed for Game Pass and likely others shown will come to the service.

To keep it football related how about the ISS 64 commentator?

That might've been Tony Gubba (or maybe he was just ISS 98) in which case

Yeah, those presenters are really naff. It's reverted a little bit to those scraggy E3 conferences before the end. "Oh, watch out, those Gnosia are really scary!"
I still don't exactly know what Gnosia is. But I'm fairly confident I fucking hate it.

But that Alba game looks absolutely beautiful and heartwarming, and probably what we need after this year; I've seen good reviews on other formats, so that might be my next Switch purchase.

OH - DOUBLE POST


I'm not a Theme Park person, but... this is nice, innit? Including a suitable naff explanation from the man himself.

Right now I'm finding it hard to get excited about going to a theme park with lots of people. It'll be great for Buska, no doubt, but it's the antithesis of everything going on in the UK at the moment.

Yeah, I get that. I think the Theme Park will - eventually - be a lot of fun for other people, and therefore it makes me very happy that it exists . I have to assume something isn't Mario-y with the "Super Nintendo World" but I get that Mario is the one thing that you can get everyone to see; maybe Animal Crossing now!


Unlike Gnosia which is only fun for feckin' weirdos

I really want Gnosia.

And I am going to go the fuck out of that Theme Park. I will tongue kiss a full COVID ward to visit Super Nintendo World.
