I wont lie. I dont think i had such a big smile on my face seeing a new mario game since Odyssey (WHICH IS ALMOST 6 YEARS OLD NOW). But this new 2d mario just looks so cool! The style, animations, crazy new mechanics, even the pleasant surprise of Daisy, all of it just seems genuinely amazing for 2d mario standards
@@firemarshallbill7983huh? It’s a whole new artstyle a new character yoshi is playable online coop new worlds new levels new boss fights that are completely unique NPC flower character in levels new power ups and new collectibles nothing abt this is dlc and it’s nothing like the new super Mario bros games
The first thing I thought when I saw Mario Wonder was just "Somebody at the studio obviously just did psychedelics for the first time." It's not just that it's weird, it's that it legitimately taps into a lot of psychedelic vibes in a strangely accurate way.
Maybe it’s just me but something about that game looks bland to me. It’s got that new super Mario bros look that I just hate and the gameplay itself just looked meh to me as well
@@jeremyroberts8822bruh what were you expecting?, Mario but he's got an ak-47 and violently murders everone?. That game looks completely fresh for 2d mario.
@@jeremyroberts8822well hating that look is part of the problem bud. That’s their art style now. I’d learn to appreciate it, you’re probably being too harsh on it. The games are a lot of fun.
Yes, it probably does help that I am a huge Mario fan, but that Direct was genuinely fantastic. This was the first time I have left a Direct feeling great about what was announced in a good while.
coming in as an MGS fan and a Mario fan, this direct DELIVERED. Oh my god. I was so intent on keeping TOTK my last switch game purchase for 2023, now they’ve made it REALLY hard.
My expectations were low, so this delivered better than what we have been getting for awhile. Then again, it is the time to get all of these good announcements in general. The only thing missing for me was a Fantasy Life release date. Hope to hear about that soon.
I am so excited for this new 2d Mario. I grew up playing Super Mario for the Wii with my Grandpa. He has since sadly passed but I still have his old save where he 100% the game. Something tells me he would love this new Mario game.
As a huge mario fan, I loved this direct so much. Just getting a new Super Mario Bros game was enough for me to be happy. One of the better directs in recent times.
4:06 I think this is more about the people working on the games than the switch itself. 6:03 Super Princess Peach. We have definitely had a full game staring peach before or whatever you were trying to say there.
Definitely agree about your first point. I love Pokémon, it’s one of my favorite series, but GameFreak are never given enough time (either by Nintendo or The Pokémon Company, probably the ladder), to optimize their games
I've honestly been a fan of all Nintendo games series. Mario, DK, Zelda, Earthbound/Mother, Pokemon, Pikmin (waiting for Pikmin 4), Kirby, Smash, Xenoblade, Fire Emblem, Punch-Out, You get the point.

12:48 Looks like Nintendo learning its lessons from the indie world and taking inspiration from it in terms of animation style, play style, quirkiness, etc. It looks like a verrrrry well polished indie Mario game.
How many of them are "new" games and not just altered-variant re-releases? Remasters and such don't count as "new" in context to the question. I counted Pikman 4 Mario: Weird addition And. . . peach?

That was a great direct! I'm particuliarly excited for Dragon Quest Monster : the Dark Prince DQ being my favorite JRPG franchise (even if you skipped it, I forgive you) and being a Mario fan, that were some great announcements indeed!
Oh yeah also wasn't the Hero at the end one of the alternate skins for the Hero in Smash I think he's either from 5 maybe does that mean the Dark Princes storyline will crossover with that games timeline I'm super pumped about that game though
@@DanielGonzalez-vo5ni I went and check ro be sure and that is the hero from Dragon Quest 4 😉 so I hope it either happens during that game or that as a whole it makes for another part of the Zenithia Trilogy 😀
Am I weird for thinking the games don't really look "rough" graphics-wise? I mean sure, lots of triple A games nowadays are 100x more beautiful on PC and PS5, but come on, it's the Switch. It's not like I (and most other people?) are expecting mega graphics on a Switch. I mean it's not like Zelda on the Switch looks graphically insane.
I'm surprised by how many people found it underwhelming or mid. If you're a Mario Fan I think it's a clear 10/10, but even if you're not I think there was great stuff all around. Pikmin 1/2 is pretty awesome, Pokemon Detective Pikachu, Metal Gear, P5 Tactica, another WarioWare, Star Ocean, DQ Monsters, Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon, Arkham Trilogy. Almost every announcement intrigued me.
Luigis Mansion 2 is the worst in the franchise, Arkham Trilogy is years old and available on nearly every modern system already, many people are oversaturated with 2D Games and thats why there isnt that much hype for Wonders, Detective Pikachu was extremly mid on 3DS and the graphics were rough, Pikmin 4 was announced months ago with it being most likely the best in the franchise (there is no need to play the first 2 anymore) and so on. The only thing that really intrigued myself was Super Mario RPG. People wanted to see Metroid Prime 4, Mario Sluggers, a new 3D Mario or Mario Kart game, Windwaker/Twilight Princess HD, a good StarFox game, a new F-Zero game, Remake of Paper Mario on GameCube etc.
Even if you're a Mario fan it's a little underwhelming we got a few surprise announcements on games in the works but they're all spin-offs, if 2D is your thing that's fantastic, and I will admit the new “Mario on acid” does look good, though I would've preferred an Odyssey 2 development announcement and a Galaxy 2 port holdover, but I do agree that's expecting too much... Pikmin getting all the games ported is a cool surprise but is a complete slap in the face to the Zelda HD ports, which if it wasn't for TotK coming out and being awesome id be much more critical on, I'll give it a 6/10, it was good but nothing in it made me super excited and Pikmin rubbing the salt in more over the HD ports didn't help
I loved this direct for more than just mario. I was interested in a ton of the smaller games as well. I think this direct was one of the best ones in a WHILE. Also Mario and Spider-Man launching on the same day is wild to me
Your pupper is absolutely beautiful. We have a 5-month-old Bernese mountain dog ourselves, and my parents who live nearby have a 8-month-old and 7-year-old (also Berners, and the 8-month-old is one of the largest Bernese Mountain dogs I have ever seen, he is already over 100 lb). When I first saw your dog in the background of the video, I thought "wait, is that a Bernese mountain dog?" And I got a huge smile on my face when I realized it was. They are just the best, most loving, friendly, good natured dogs. I love all dogs, but this breed has a particular place in my heart. Glad to know I'm not the only massive Nintendo fan with a Berner :) I bet our dogs would be good friends!
I think that Nintendo recognized that everyone went crazy for the Metroid Prime shadow drop, so they thought it would be hype to do the same for the first two Pikmin
You know what I’m not a 2D Mario fan either and I was trying to figure out what I like so much about the look of Wonder but you nailed it, it’s giving Rayman vibes and I LOVE Rayman. Would kill for a new Rayman actually
Mario Wonder looks amazing - they've not refined the 2D Mario formula in such a long time, and it really looks like they went back to the drawing board and came up with some new things to set this one apart from all the previous New Super Mario Bros World Land U Remake Remaster stuff we've been getting for years. I personally think this has a chance of being a "Tropical Freeze" moment for 2D Mario in terms of redefining that category of Mario games from here.
This was a 10/10 direct for me and that was before the mario games. Ive litterly waited and hoped for another detective pikachu game in 5 years and I went nuts scared the crap out of my kitty screaming with excitement im so hyped and going so broke right now and yes I'm also a mario fan 🤣
@renslo689 I reckon nintendo are holding them back for the new console that and metroid 4, got to be next year or 2025 thee absolute latest. Never give up hope trust me when it happens, you will lose it like I did 🤣
This direct was very needed, Mario has been in the shadows, and this allows Pikmin to grow. After Zelda and Kirby went big before. And metroids revival is still in progress.
@@joe6831 I dont want lies, but I would rather forgo the manbaby complaining. And all the other manbabies that share his opinion can stay. Have a good day.
Very disappointed with your dragon quest monsters reaction..I know you don't play it, and you need to be honest but..don't give out false info about the game...it's not a mobile game, it's a full fledged Dragon Quest game!! But it's continuing the Dragon Quest Monsters line of games
Love ya Mr. Hawker, I don't even care what others think, you're awesome and your content makes so many of us happy and provides insight on top of entertainment, you're classy above a lot of us, and you deserve all the success fame respect and happiness you achieve. Stay awesome, high five.
I also love the 2.5D type of graphics. Makes me want Square and Pokémon to work on a game. Pokémon had great sprite work but have done horribly with transition to 3d. So I’d be ok with them trying to go back to sprites.
I wasn't really struck by Detective Pikachu so called "bad visuals" to be honest. I'm definitely not playing for the graphics, I really don't care, especially for a puzzle game, so I don't feel like it's that important to point it out.
Mario-fan here, and I'm extremely hyped. Super Mario RPG is one of my favourite games of all time. It was packed with games imo, that's what a Direct should be. I'm so excited! Any Direct that has Super Mario RPG is an instant 10, in my book, but this also had a new Super Mario game, Peach (meh) and Luigi's Mansion + Pikmin, Star Ocean, Batman, MGS and other stuff. I think this is a top-level Direct.
Wood saying “it looks like it was built in the Fortnite engine” made me cringe.. you mean Unreal, one of the most graphically powerful engines out there? 🤦🏼♂️
The graphics for detective pikachu aren’t bad it’s have always looked like that it’s an intentional artistic choice it’s part of the charm the previous game looked like that too They were going for something unique Also gamefreak didn’t make the game
This direct was a dream come true for me as a Mario fan. October/November looks sooooooo fun with spiderman 2, mario wonder, mario rpg, sonic releasing + more
Not sure if y'all saw the report, but detective Pikachu 2 was actually developed as a 3ds game. It was heavily delayed so it didn't make sense to release it there. But that's why the graphics look so rough
I'm 39... so i LOVE 2D Mario games!!! Super Mario 3 and Super Mario World are some of my favorite games of all time, so Super Mario Wonder is a MUST for me.
I was just like you man when I saw the MarioRPG pop up. I was like, "Eh, it's just gonna be the online thingy." Then I was like, "Wait, it's already on the service." Then the cinematic happened and the title popped up and I friggin fan boyed like crazy. I am so hyped for it!!!!
10:12 I freaking agree. Completely. I stay updated on all things from Mario Kart, but I’ve been done with that game for years now. It first came out when I was going into college, now it’s been five years since I’ve graduated. Nintendo really knows how to stretch things out. I am so over waiting for the next Mario Kart.
We have a character in germany, Called Benjamin Blümchen. He is an Elephant on two legs and looks very similiar to the Mario Elephant. Benjamin comes from the same Company wich produces the Bibi Blocksberg and Bibi and Tina series. These Series started as an Audio Drama in Casette from many years ago. Almost every german kid grew up with them.

Man. I use to be really into bestups but he’s just gotten so negative it’s not even fun anymore. Sad day
@@joe6831 I dont want lies, but I would rather forgo the manbaby complaining. And all the other manbabies that share his opinion can stay. Have a good day.
@@MrThrive2so anyone who agrees that the direct is mid at best, they are manbabies? Got it fanboy
0:34 "we just had the best Zelda game of all time release" didn't realize it was still 2000
Very disappointed with your dragon quest monsters reaction..I know you don't play it, and you need to be honest but..don't give out false info about the game...it's not a mobile game, it's a full fledged Dragon Quest game!! But it's continuing the Dragon Quest Monsters line of games
Shoutout to Wood and Bob not charging anything for selfies or autographs at that expo
Love ya Mr. Hawker, I don't even care what others think, you're awesome and your content makes so many of us happy and provides insight on top of entertainment, you're classy above a lot of us, and you deserve all the success fame respect and happiness you achieve. Stay awesome, high five.
It’s a good day to be a Mario fan. Super Mario Bros. was my very first video game I ever played back in ‘86
nah that direct was fire tho
I just came here to say that thumbnail was bizarrely realistic looking.
You know it's a great game when you get all squeaky. I can't wait for the Mario RPG remake.
i just found your channel recently and i really enjoy it. keep up the great work
You can’t please everyone. People had their Zelda’s and other things need to shine. This was a great direct imo.
Like Mario, i swear the Switch is comprised of 95% Mario games
This is one of the best years for Mario fans we’ve ever had
All these games plus THE MOVIE?!
What a W
I also love the 2.5D type of graphics. Makes me want Square and Pokémon to work on a game. Pokémon had great sprite work but have done horribly with transition to 3d. So I’d be ok with them trying to go back to sprites.
You belong in the minor group of people who think like that ,but I can say that scarlet and violet didn't like much
Didn't even mention a new Dragon Quest Monsters SAJ
Yeah no he did not
Petition for Wood to stop saying "MY GUY!?!"
Do people not know the differences of a Remake and a remaster anymore??
I didn't expect that last Mario game, like you said it looks old school classic but made anew! I cannot wait ♥️
How have we not gotten Twilight Princess yet?!?!?!?
The Switch hardware is 2015 technology, it's beyond old now. The Switch has passed its time.
I wasn't really struck by Detective Pikachu so called "bad visuals" to be honest. I'm definitely not playing for the graphics, I really don't care, especially for a puzzle game, so I don't feel like it's that important to point it out.
When is the last time you loved a direct wood?
I'm excited for the next nontendo podcast as well
That thumbnail is definitely “Wood FM."
Best Direct we've had in years, lots of first party releases and HD remasters, it was great!
Mario-fan here, and I'm extremely hyped. Super Mario RPG is one of my favourite games of all time. It was packed with games imo, that's what a Direct should be. I'm so excited!
Any Direct that has Super Mario RPG is an instant 10, in my book, but this also had a new Super Mario game, Peach (meh) and Luigi's Mansion + Pikmin, Star Ocean, Batman, MGS and other stuff. I think this is a top-level Direct.
lol that shrooms line was exactly what I was thinking! I was pretty sure I was having a fever dream while watching
Wood saying “it looks like it was built in the Fortnite engine” made me cringe.. you mean Unreal, one of the most graphically powerful engines out there? 🤦🏼♂️
The graphics for detective pikachu aren’t bad it’s have always looked like that it’s an intentional artistic choice it’s part of the charm the previous game looked like that too
They were going for something unique
Also gamefreak didn’t make the game
Unless its Zelda, he isnt gonna take the time to research for other games before sh**ting all over them. Detective Pikachu was a great game.
This direct was a dream come true for me as a Mario fan. October/November looks sooooooo fun with spiderman 2, mario wonder, mario rpg, sonic releasing + more
Spider-Man? But we’re having Batman.
Not sure if y'all saw the report, but detective Pikachu 2 was actually developed as a 3ds game. It was heavily delayed so it didn't make sense to release it there. But that's why the graphics look so rough
I'm 39... so i LOVE 2D Mario games!!! Super Mario 3 and Super Mario World are some of my favorite games of all time, so Super Mario Wonder is a MUST for me.
Mario: Turns to an elephant
Metal slug: So...u ate the cake
9/10 Nintendo Direct (I’m a Mario Fan, as well as a LoZ Fan. This is a great year)
I have to say that it is sometimes refreshing to see games getting support for ten years when there's not really much to do to improve on the formula.
Wood: *Implies that WarioWare Get It Together sucked*
Me: *Cries and pukes myself to sleep tonight.*
I am not a big Mario fan like wood said I’m a Zelda guy but the remakes are even exciting ME
14:20 yeah I made the same joke... Mario on acid
Your doggo really trying to steal the show in the background 😂.
I can’t believe it’s been 6 years and the only Donkey Kong game on switch is a Wii U port
Legendary Thumbnail
I’m not really a Mario fan but I’m glad that we got a lot of Mario news
This direct catered to me personally, and I couldn't be happier.
I always look forward your Nintendo Direct reaction when once has finished😊☺. Keep up the good work
I was just like you man when I saw the MarioRPG pop up. I was like, "Eh, it's just gonna be the online thingy." Then I was like, "Wait, it's already on the service." Then the cinematic happened and the title popped up and I friggin fan boyed like crazy. I am so hyped for it!!!!
10:12
I freaking agree. Completely. I stay updated on all things from Mario Kart, but I’ve been done with that game for years now. It first came out when I was going into college, now it’s been five years since I’ve graduated. Nintendo really knows how to stretch things out.
I am so over waiting for the next Mario Kart.
Being a Pokémon fan and Mario fan during this direct was something else October will be draining my wallet.
Super mario bros wonder is literally a Mario run mixed in with the super mario bros series. And im all for all it!
Nintendo's priorities:
1. Zelda
2. Mario anything
3. Everything else
4. Updates to console
We have a character in germany, Called Benjamin Blümchen. He is an Elephant on two legs and looks very similiar to the Mario Elephant. Benjamin comes from the same Company wich produces the Bibi Blocksberg and Bibi and Tina series. These Series started as an Audio Drama in Casette from many years ago. Almost every german kid grew up with them.
There's no way we don't eventually get a demon king Ganondorf amiibo.
Aside from the lack of Metroid, this Direct was better than anything i could have ever imagined. I'm in awe of how good that thing was.
