      Not the worst partner showcase ever but kinda meh.  Saw lots of interesting games but nothing really mindblowing, and a lot of re-releases.

      That was certainly a choice to end the decent enough partner direct on Todd Howards ugly face.

      I think this was genuinely the emptiest Direct since the Farming Direct lol

      Mostly games everyone already knew about, or low cost shovelwares. Sucks, man.

      I liked the Arcade Archives updates. The Console Archives idea is…eh, but no VC now means it makes sense. I liked the Bomberman Collection announcement.

      This is a classic partner showcase. Absolutely nothing going on here that wasn’t already announced before or obviously happening.

      Except the Bethesda thing, maybe I guess.

      YouTube live chat was pure brain rot. Can’t wait to play the Pragmata demo when I get home. Some other cool announcements as well

    11. _TheRocket on

      i feel like most of those games had already been announced, what was the point of the direct?

    12. RobbieJ4444 on

      Not the best partner direct imo

      There were some cool looking stuff like the Xanadu game and Orbtiers.

      But there were a lot of port announcements, and the one last reveal was the announcements of more Bethesda ports.

      Hopefully we’ll see more brand new third party games once Nintendo give us a mainline Direct.

      Orbitals is interesting! And I love how it looks like a 90s anime. I’m also pretty interested in Kyoto Xanadu.

      Underwhelming doesn’t even begin to describe what utter nothing this direct was, but I guess that should’ve been expected once it was revealed to be a partner direct. Switch 2 desperately needs more news on first party games.

      There are multiple things I want to play here, but I was aware of them all already.

      I saw lots of people hyping up a Partner Direct leading up to this. There are never going to be big announcements in a Partner Direct, they’re designed to give their partners an elevated platform to promote their games. We see some nice things, but any juicy reveals are going to be reserved for a full blown Nintendo Direct.

      It was a very lackluster Nintendo Direct in my opinion, but I really liked the announcement of the Digimon Time Stranger game.

    27. Jibbah_Jabbahwock on

      Last several Directs (including Partner Showcases) I’ve been in disagreement with others who thought it was nothing, as it had plenty I was excited for, but this is the first one in a while I can safely say was a complete flop for me. Pretty much nothing I’m super interested in, no franchises I care about. The only games I could maybe see myself getting are Adventures of Elliott and Paranormasight, but even that’s a stretch. Was really hoping for Metaphor, more news on the new Layton, and possibly Ace Attorney 7, but none of those happened, and didn’t get any good surprise that was enough to sate the disappointment. Bethesda games are automatic “Will never waste any more money on this shit” for me ever since I made the mistake of getting Fallout 3 and finding it literally unplayable, so that as the finale left a huge bad taste in my mouth.

    29. DrSussBurner on

      I was reasonably excited, but there was nothing for me here. What I wanted was metaphor and expedition 33… it’s a shame

    33. Empress_Haru on

      Surprised Fromsoft didn’t show up in any way. I thought it was a safe bet to expect an update on Elden Ring at least, maybe even Duskbloods.

    34. nothatssaintives on

      Nice to see Great Circle releasing this side of June! Between that and First Light, my May is basically spoken for.

    35. AnistarYT on

      Can any summarize? I tried watching a bit later but they privated the video before I could finish.

    36. AMaidzingIdeas on

      LET’S FUCKING GO CULDCEPT

      THE BEST GAME NOBODY HAS EVER PLAYED

      (Digimon is cool too but play it on a console where it looks nice and won’t chug)

    37. randomsword on

      INCREDIBLY happy with the Paranormasight 2 announcement. I honestly didn’t think it would manage to get a sequel, that announcement alone made the Direct worth it in my eyes.

    41. Flashy-Bug7356 on

      The “3rd party games I expected but WAY earlier than I expected” showcase as a jrpg fan this was great to see.

    43. Mindofthequill on

      Okay…so when’s the next first party Nintendo Direct? Lol

      Nothing against partner showcases, they just really never seem to excite because they tend to show stuff we already knew about or at least figured was already in the works.
