Alpharad’s reaction was everyone’s reaction to the beginning, we came in thinking there would be barely anything and then Nintendo said to let them cook.
Yeah and while that did set my expectations a little high due to them opening the direct with Mario and Luigi it also led to me kinda hyping myself up because if a new Mario and Luigi was put as the opening then what was being cooked for the final reveal if Mario and Luigi wasn’t the final reveal…the hype was definitely deserved with the final reveal
I can't imagine being that excited for a set in stone franchise. The only thing that could make me feel that excited would be a surprise Xenogears or Skies of Arcadia sequel 😂 Otherwise it just seems so fake and embarrassing.
@@nolongeraperson I can't imagine having any level of excitement for Skies of Arcadia, my response to that announcement would literally be "Who's still asking for this?", so it's clearly just a difference in experiences and preferences
I wonder how different the system will actually be. Hopefully its just like, a DSI to 3DS-esque transformation. Better overall with a new gimmick, but you can still play switch games on it and it still has the same benefits of a switch (note i havent been following leaks or predictions for switch 2 at all)
@@wonderlandzer0if it doesn't have backwards compatibility with the Switch, Nintendo releasing such banger games towards the end of the Switch's lifespan makes absolutely no sense
I respect that Nintendo keeps letting Capcom announce fighting game collections during their directs knowing its the console that will sell the least number of copies.
I was talking to my friends like “Metroid Prime 4 is already getting a remake? Didn’t it only release a few months after Dread?” No, it did not, I’ve learned
I’m personally excited for The New Denpa Men. To Alpharad: The Denpa Men is a Japanese RPG which made its debut on the 3DS. It translate to “Radio” Men, or Denpa Ningen RPG. These Denpa men live in “Radio Waves” which are formed by Wi-Fi Signals in the area. They’re like humans but the colors around their faces, is a very thin coat of fur, like a zebras coat. Some of them also have special abilities, represented by an antenna on there head. Example: The black furred Denpa Man, Kota, has the ability to Revive teammates who have lost all their HP.
You do not know how hard I popped off at the investigations collection. Let me explain this. So I bought internet on my flight home from South Carolina so that I could watch the direct because I knew it was happening during the flight. They announced investigations and I had to use every molecule of my strength to not scream, "Holy f*** they released investigations 2 in America!"
Just to educate the masses, Jacob did the same thing with FF7 and its remake back when it was first announced. But unlike with Dragon Quest, he didn't start the original FF7 until after he finished the remake
As a Metroid fan I absolutely popped off at Metroid prime four but as a hollow knight fan I got kinda sad that the direct ended with nothing on silksong.
"This will probably be a lot of people's first time playing Four Swords." As someone who lived through both the original release and the DS port...I feel old now. Also Smith freaking out any time they see something remotely cute (and Dragon Quest, although I guess you could argue that is also cute) gives me life.
Regarding what Jacob said near the end about Prime 4 being the Metroid fans‘ silksong, ironically, the Metroid and Silksong fanbases overlap quite a bit. Makes sense once you consider the term "Metroidvania"… xD But personally, I am much more hyped for Beyond than I ever could be for Silksong!
Nintendo absolutely *cooked* with this direct, a new Mario and Luigi game, DKC Returns: Returns, A new Mario Party, Legend of Link: Echoes of Wisdom, Ace Attorney Investigations 1&2, and Prime 4 all within the same direct is just insane
Me and Fyrus were on the same wave length once another Mario & Luigi game was announced. Nothing else mattered the second we recognized the art style. I will admit I straight up SQUEALED the second I layer eyes on the trailer. Then became absolutely giddy when it was announced to come out the day after my Birthday. 🥰🥰🤩🥰
Smith popping of at this direct, especialy at the MvC Collection, man... they're one of us! this Direct as a whole was amazing, it surely had it's lows but the highs were SO FREAKING HIGH!
"Princess Peach Showtime happened and Zelda said, 'bitch, me too.'"
Yeah definitely.
15:57 to 16:02
😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
-Alpharad,2024
Yessssss!!
NINTENDO SAID YEAR OF WOMEN 🎉
I love that Jacob is as excited about the shitty Funko Pop game as Smith and Fyrus were about games they actually like
I am too :)
It's totally gonna be another "I played (game) so you don't have to" and I'm all for it
@@catfluff85 so basically its video content fodder. jacob alpharad is just too content brained
@@hamtier I mean, to be fair, he’s said before with Jump Force that he genuinely enjoyed it even though it was for a video, so Funko Fusion might be the same
He knows how to spot peak content
“This game looks awful! I cannot wait to play it!” Is so on-brand for Jacob
Falls in line with “I played [insert bad game here] so you don’t have to”

We all need a friend in life who shares that energy Fyrus had for Mario and Luigi
THAT WAS SO ME
We all have those games where we just yell no shot

the full groen man being so hyped about hello kitty island adventure is amazing on so many levels
16:50 "They have already shown SO many things that would normally be "And we have one more thing to show you'"
This is such a good way to describe it
To be fair, Nintendo said they would announce the Switch 2 this fiscal year...not that it would be released this fiscal year.
They also said don't expect switch 2 this direct too💀
Honestly i fell Like they Will do the Same as the switch, reveal at fall, presentation in january-february release in march.
They told publishers q1 2025 release planned

9:18 Jacob sees a new "So you don't have to" video unfurling before his eyes.
The genuine pop off for Hello Kitty Island Adventure into the frame 1 salute for Lola Bunny is an INSANE combo. Godspeed.

this nintendo direct was specifically designed for everyone to say "finally, we've been waiting years for this" like three times over
Smith really popped off the Dragon Quest lol
I can’t even make a joke abiut Smirh being in everything this time, their pure excitement goes so incredibly hard from Dragon Quest onward.
9:34 “this game looks awful, I cannot wait to play it.”
smith and alpharads joy for the hello kitty game is honestly really relatable
It's funny how like 1/4 of Smith's clips is just screaming😆
SMITHS SCREAMING MAKES ME GIGGLE SM
19:14 I love how you can read Alpharad's exact thoughts in the manner of 2 seconds.
"What is this?"
"Wait?"
"Oh my God"
"Is it big?" he says, unaware that it is, indeed, big.
6:17 Smith looks like someone who is coming out of a 30-year sentence
I feel like every year or two game devs just call up the Danganronpa artists and go “okay so we need you to work on our game”.
At least they're not trying to continue the Dangan series, that'd suck (as a Danganronpa fan)
honestly, I’m so intrigued by this tactics Danganronpa artstyle game, mainly because of the artstyle lol
Ikr! I started screaming when I heard the music and saw the character models. I’m so excited!
It's actually the studio created by the guy who made Danganronpa. He & his crew just made a studio for their passion projects.
Just got here from Alpha's twitch vod, excited to see the whole gang
Literally 😂 what a perfect timing
Coincidentally this gets uploaded right after I watch his stream haha
Same
15:59 love alpharad's reaction
I'm losing it at the contrast between smith being so hype and their avatar being so muted at 7:00
*their avatar
@@fe_three_rosses fixed
I CANNOT WAIT to see wildcard play four swords
I respect that Nintendo keeps letting Capcom announce fighting game collections during their directs knowing its the console that will sell the least number of copies.
Like Xbox and Persona
fyrus had my exact hype for the mario and luigi reveal
and the slow realization that metriod prime 4 was announced was insane
freddy fazbear is real
I was talking to my friends like “Metroid Prime 4 is already getting a remake? Didn’t it only release a few months after Dread?” No, it did not, I’ve learned
Bro what 😂
You must be thinking about the Prime 1 Remaster, but it’s way more fun to think you’re a crackhead
Whoever was in charge of this Direct please do more
Same-day shipping is crazy
This is a pretty cool dire-
WAIT SOME WILDCARD MEMBERS PLAYED MVC2?!
NEVER doubt Void's willingness to throw hands.
MVC2 is an experience that I loved experiencing
smith and void seem to be pretty fond of throwing hands

I think it had a localization because I feel like I played a demo of it
@@CodaBlairLucarioEmperorthere were multiple games localized on the 3ds eshop
i remember playing it at least once and thinking it was very cool, unfortunately my 3ds got stolen
15:57 "princess peach showtime happened and Zelda said bitch me too" got me Rollin on the floor.
Fyrus: Mario and Luigi
Smith: dragon quest III
Void: I can’t tell
Alpharad: some shit funko game
I think Void might be the MvC collection
18:01 - I am with you on this Jacob, Capcom has been on their A-game over the last 3 years holy shit
INVESTIGATIONS 2 BABY!
It's been 13 years. FINALLY.
(AA7 plz ;-;)
Smith and Fyrus are such a good duo even when they're not interacting
19:50
Void: "They finally did it. Metroid Prime Hunters 2" ;)
Sylux appearing at the end of the Prime 4 trailer: "Well, no, but actually yes."
they underestimate us skilkskong fans
we are schizophrenic
not the SKILL 📢 SKONG 🐸 reference
Literally everyone I've watched, including myself, thought the intro to DQ 3 HD was Link Between Worlds

Finally somebody else gets it 😭
21:32
Jacob has never spoken any truer words! hahaha
Metroid prime 4 really said I ain’t hear no bell 😂
Fyrus' reaction to mario and luigi was almost identical to mine lmao
7:13 gee, I wonder where I’ve heard this story before?
Just to educate the masses, Jacob did the same thing with FF7 and its remake back when it was first announced. But unlike with Dragon Quest, he didn't start the original FF7 until after he finished the remake
No Silksong… “Hey siri give me directions to the nearest bridge”
Props to the team/Bobby for getting this out so quick
19:10 "What if it's Silksong? What if it's Silksong?!" Fyrus you sweet, sweet thing...
5:35 just wanna drop a HARD recommend for returns. If you liked tropical freeze, go for it. Don’t even think
11:53 GONNA TAKE YOU FOR A RIDE! 🎶 The song is so good. My brother and I played it like 2 months ago until our hands cramped up. DUUUUDE
Everyone gets a bite to eat at the table this time!
silksong 🙂
@@fluffy698There's MIO
tomodachi life 💔
WE ARE SO BACK
Smith's high notes getting gradually higher gave me the biggest smile
As a Metroid fan I absolutely popped off at Metroid prime four but as a hollow knight fan I got kinda sad that the direct ended with nothing on silksong.
I feel bad for Hollow Knight fans. Like sure, we Metroid fans have been waiting for 7 years, but at least we got Metroid Dread in 2021.
Would you say the game is going to FUNKO pop off, Void?
lmao Smith hit the "Mahvel Baby"
Mario and luigi is the hypest thing though
Void just going "thats the guy from smash" for DQ3 fkin sent me
4:12 "Oh wait, Lola Bunny, hello 🫡" understandable reaction
Smith's hype is infectious. I love it.
Smith being so hype puts such a big smile on my face!
Also so much to be hype about. My wallet is in danger
The Mario battle royal comes from an old 3ds Mario party game mode named coinathlon, AND NO ONE NOTICES
I’m so excited for the new Zelda game especially since it seems to be in Legend’s hyrule which I find funny 😂
BRO FYRUS AND SMITH HARD CARRY THIS VID. IM SORRY I LIVE FOR THEIR HYPE
7:45 *sigh* me too Jacob… me too
"This will probably be a lot of people's first time playing Four Swords."
As someone who lived through both the original release and the DS port...I feel old now.
Also Smith freaking out any time they see something remotely cute (and Dragon Quest, although I guess you could argue that is also cute) gives me life.
I love how in this direct Nintendo said: "Hold my bear!"
😂
Smith popping off for dragon quest absolutely killed me.
Honestly hearing Smith so happy was something i needed today
"I recognize that guy from smash!" -- me with most of these LOL
me when nintendo 0:04
Honestly I've been having more fun watching my favorite content creators react to the direct than I have just watching the direct itself.
When the funko pop game comes out, Alpharad is definitely making a video called "I played funko fusion so you don't have to".
I love how fyrus was like”what if its silksong” that’s the literal entire hk fanbase at that moment.
If you were 12 when Metroid Prime 4 was announced, you are now 19
Nintendo was waiting for you to become an adult start having money.
Apparently a lot of people thought the Denpa Men thing was Tomadachi at first (fair assumption tbh)
Fyrus absolutely popped off at the start of the direct and Smith popped off for the rest of it
I AM SO EXCITED AND READY FOR FUNKO FUSION TO RELEASE BECAUSE IT IS RELEASING TWO FREAKING DAYS AFTER MY BIRTHDAY
lmao "metroid prime hunters 2!" had me rolling because it's so true
2:46 I had the EXACT same reaction as Smith there XD
Fyrus had exactly my reaction to Mario and Luigi. I’m so happy it’s back
Also I'm sorry I saw the Big Yelow reaction to Gays Attorney and that's just the definitive for me now
I love Jakob's reaction to Funko Fusion! "This looks awful, I can't wait to play it!"
This fills the void of alpharad deluxe reviewing directs just a little bit
Regarding what Jacob said near the end about Prime 4 being the Metroid fans‘ silksong, ironically, the Metroid and Silksong fanbases overlap quite a bit. Makes sense once you consider the term "Metroidvania"… xD But personally, I am much more hyped for Beyond than I ever could be for Silksong!
In the Japanese version only, they announced a remake of FE4. Exciting stuff.
I can’t believe Silksong got announced
Nintendo absolutely *cooked* with this direct, a new Mario and Luigi game, DKC Returns: Returns, A new Mario Party, Legend of Link: Echoes of Wisdom, Ace Attorney Investigations 1&2, and Prime 4 all within the same direct is just insane
I can’t believe they glossed over the Romancing SaGa 2 remake, a niche JRPG that nobody except me cares about
No Kid Icarus yet again… are we shocked? No. Am I sad? Of course.
Super Mario Party Jamboree has unlocked new Content for RUclips creators all around. This looks so worth it
Everyone: "Oh, it's another mario and luigi. cool."
Fyrus: LETS GOOOOO
I was upset about no Kid Icarus but Mario & Luigi: Brothership helps with that a lot.
“It’s one of my deepest darkest secrets” well fyrus ye just admitted to it lol.
Oh also Bed% in echoes of wisdom when?
Me and Fyrus were on the same wave length once another Mario & Luigi game was announced. Nothing else mattered the second we recognized the art style. I will admit I straight up SQUEALED the second I layer eyes on the trailer. Then became absolutely giddy when it was announced to come out the day after my Birthday. 🥰🥰🤩🥰

Unironically one of the best directs of all time
One day we will finally get that Kid Icarus Uprising HD remake I've been waiting for
"Wait for basketball." Much like golf, typical late nintendo
A moment of silence for those who heard about Prime 4 when it was first announced that didn’t make it out of the pandemic to see this.
