@a HERO that doesn’t know what protect means Some Tekken games have sold millions of units, among the best selling fighting games, is probably a Smash, or Nintendo fans, kind of thing
Interestingly enough, I straight up don't like fighting games, I've never even played tekken before, and yet I knew INSTANTLY that this guy is from tekken.
"This is really a die-hard Nintendo fan's Direct." Great way to put it. A lot of people bitching about the lack of "big" titles like more Pokemon or whatever while a lot of us are over here at a smorgasbord with Metroid, Warioware, Advance Wars, Fatal Frame, a Mario Party collection that actually looks GOOD for once, another dope Game & Watch collectible, Smash DLC...I know it didn't have EVERYTHING, but man I definitely left very satisfied.
It's like it's some of those peoples' first E3. Pokémon is almost always presented in a separate direct nowadays. People will tune into that regardless, so it's smart using the E3 direct on a lot of smaller franchises.
@@MagicBavarian it's actually the first E3 direct since 2015 without anything Pokemon releated. Yes, they have their own directs. But they still had an E3 presence.

Dread was so out of left field because of how much it was confirmed and denied over the years. It was Meme status before this happened. Gotta love that its out of Development Hell after all this time though!
You guys probably have one of the best Kazuya reactions by far due to how much you got into it and how much you laughed at the gag(Kazuya's Tekken 8 ending should totally just be throwing the ENTIRE CAST of a cliff one by one!)
Note: that seems to be from an old version, there's some placeholder TSA assets that are not there in latest trailers, and some footage in those same trailers looked at least a bit better. So please do not judge the game quality based on that only.
@@vstpnv The computer in front of Naomi is the Hotline Miami cabinet, probably a placeholder. What’s weird is that there has been footage of the newer computer model being there since like, February i think. Why are they using such old builds?

Yep! As far as deaths in the actual CGI trailer go, Kazuya is at 5, which is currently at the top. Sephiroth is second at 3 (two villains at the top, unsurprising) and then a bunch of characters are at 2.

Thank you for being one of the few people I've seen actually recognize the Metroid Dread name. I get not everyone would remember a rumor from 15 years ago, so that's what make it more remarkable. And as for the no new hardware reveal, the twitter announcement for this direct literally said it was only about Switch software.
@@music79075 Back in 2002 Metroid Fusion (Metroid 4) came out alongside Metroid Prime (which kicked off its side series), and people finished those and wondered whats next? In ~2004-2006 there were rumors (and minor leaks) of plans for a sequel to Fusion named "Metroid Dread" which eventually fell on the backburner. I read somewhere that in ~2010 someone mentioned that there WAS a demo of Dread on the DS and it honestly just looked like fusion and zero mission, and it failed to live up to what they wanted it to be. Now here we are 19 years since the last non-remake of a game in the mainline 2D style(and 2.5 as of the Metroid 2 Remake) and they drop not only Metroid 5, but its ACTUALLY METROID DREAD. Its been ~16 years since its name first circulated and they actually did it. They resurrected a game that has been in development hell longer than any other game i've known that wasn't just straight up a cancelled project.
@@jusquanorthwind1016 all of this plus in Prime 3 (iirc, there's a screen shot floating around) there was a Scan Entry of the Space Pirate's files that made a reference to a "Metroid project Dread" that was foreshadowing/easter egg. Thanks for explaining so well.
@@jeanief.6036 another note that not everyone knows I should mention; the entire Prime series takes place between Metroid 1 and 2 I’ve followed these games for years, I’m more into the 2d style but I’ve loved every thing about the series.

The quiver in Matt's voice when he realizes it's Kazuya. Boo-tiful, we're off to a great start. In all honesty, what a good direct. E3 has been kind of mediocre, but I think Nintendo saved it, I liked a lot of their lineups. Only problem now is do I hold out on buying Switch or not, because they didn't announce a new Switch here, but who knows 1-2 months from now?
I love the switch and it's my favorite console. But honestly at this poiny I say u might as well hold out a little longer and wait until Metroid dread at least. Just to see if they are looking to release a switch pro within the fiscal year
@@Xifko its mainly because I was holding out for a new Switch version being announced at E3. But now idk if they have plans to do so within the next few months or whatnot.
@@rhettmitchell I was debating myself because I really wanted to get a Switch with NMH3 in time for my birthday, I really hope they just flat out announce it because I can wait if it's like within this year, but if I bought one now and then they announce it I'd be kinda miffed.
Out of everything shown, I look most forward to SMTV. But this was great all around, with Metroid Dread having my attention and having an actual chance now getting to play Fatal Frame U on Switch being foreseeable.
@@pats3212 Yes. There were leaks back in 2004 about a sequel to Fusion called "Metroid: Dread" and it was at one point going to be on the DS but the tech didn't step up to where they wanted it (the most likely thing i've seen is the AI tech needed for the E.M.M.I. to hunt and stalk like they have been designed to in the current version wasn't invented way back then). I read somewhere it even had a demo version they were still testing with but it wasn't working due to the above problem with the tech of the time. so it fell through. The team that did the samus returns remake plus the current tech sparked this new version, and it finally reached the point that was envisioned all those years ago. 16 YEARS since the name first spread around. 19 YEARS since Fusion released. Its nice to get a mainline game that isn't a remake.
@@pats3212 Its the end of the Arc between her and the Metroids. which is awkward because they're the name of the series, so either the story continues without them under a new name, or the series is over after this and the prime series finishes...

@@cubit9345 I’ve also remembered something since I commented, that for any further games, samus, being that her dna is part Metroid, is now the last Metroid. The series title is now talking just about her. I never gave that fact much thought in the fact that we’ve never had more than fusion with that being the case and so I forgot…
You guys are the 1st reaction channel that had anything to say about each game announced in teh E3 direct... some of the reactors i watch dont even know some games existed. and i subbed because of that~ keep up the good work :)
I know Liam probably won’t see this or has been told this vehemently but it was rogue trooper that Rebellion made. Rogue Warrior was the bad Mickey Rourke game with a lot of cursing that that dude that wrote the book supposedly loved
Metroid Dread was the primo new game chill I got from their Direct. But for a remaster/re-release... I don't want to slight lovers of the "Fire Emblem" series, but I cannot count how many times I've wished that "Advance Wars" got SOME kind of re-issuing! That was my absolute GBA strategy RPG fix! And now it carries over to the Switch! Hope it performs well enough to get a remastering of "Days of Ruin", which was a DS hidden gem!
Matt I have been down the rabbit hole with What Happened lately and I just now realized this is the first time i heard an emotion from you that was not absolute disappointment and sarcasm. lol
In the Tony Hawk 1 + 2 Demo for Xbox and PlayStation there were controls for a switch version which had people thinking it was coming at some point or in development.
I've watched a few fun coverages/reactions to this presentation but this might be my favorite one. Matt and Liam just bring so much knowledge and genuine love to the medium :D
Matt had to be the only one ive seen that recognized Kazuya immediately in the trailer upon frame queued with the Tekken 2 - devil kazuya theme. Amazing.
Seriously enjoying that y'all seem to be genuinely happy for almost every reveal; it's a nice contrast to a bunch of other streamers who are becoming rather jaded.
Am I one of the only people who knew who it was as soon as the music started the drums? Like that theme has always been one of my favorites in the Tekken Franchise since Tekken 2
I never noticed that Kazuya’s victims were an unintentional tease for what was to come. He literally threw away any chance of a new F-Zero, Kid Icarus, ARMS, Fire Emblem, or Kirby title being announced in this direct. Also, I loved how we opened the direct with Ganondorf being thrown into a pit and ended with Zelda going with him.
Fun fact, Advance Wars 1 is not the first game in the series. There's Famicom Wars, Gameboy Wars 1, 2, 3, 1 Turbo, and Super Famicom Wars. Advance Wars is just the most well known in the states because they're the only ones that came out here. Also, they're the reason we got Fire Emblem. At all. The first Fire Emblem runs on the Famicom Wars engine, and the Wars series success in the states led to Fire Emblem finally being localized. So basically it's a pretty important series that people just kinda... forget exists.

Quickest eye in the west, incredible!
But yeah this was a really solid direct overall!
The main thing I learned today is that nobody knows how to correctly pronounce Kazuya
It's refreshing to see a Kazuya reaction where the viewer gets excited about it immediately.
Sakurai, every smash reveal: Fuck all these other characters. Except for you Kirby, my son. My perfect boy. You can survive anything.
Looking forward to some Matt x Liam: True Colors!
same and maybe some lis2 ep 5
Metroid Dread & friggin Kazuya saved E3
Damn, do I love being happy again...
Matt has to hold the record for fastest recognition of Kazuya in Smash.
5:07
THIS DUDE'S DOING STRINGS! SICK OF ALL THESE SCRUBS!
I missed hearing Liam's voice
Yayyy lets go the boys are back
I love how Matt realizes Kazuya so quickly lol
The end of this video is being recorded from xbox live.
OMG those sounds in the background terrified me ;3;
Just gonna brush over that hilarious Billy Hatcher joke eh Liam? I heard it Matt, I heard it.
I’ve never even played Tekken and I was *hyped!*
They have stated that the switch is half way though it’s life cycle
OMG! Smash man! Kazuya! So awesome Bandai Konami is allowing them to use another one of their character.
Was with extended family when I recorded this. My niece and nephew!
Fun fact, Advance Wars 1 is not the first game in the series. There's Famicom Wars, Gameboy Wars 1, 2, 3, 1 Turbo, and Super Famicom Wars. Advance Wars is just the most well known in the states because they're the only ones that came out here. Also, they're the reason we got Fire Emblem. At all. The first Fire Emblem runs on the Famicom Wars engine, and the Wars series success in the states led to Fire Emblem finally being localized. So basically it's a pretty important series that people just kinda... forget exists.
Metroid dread and breath of the wild 2 I am excited
