#papermario #nintendodirect #switch
Just played F-Zero 99 and this game is hilarious. The first minute of the race is just people flying around everywhere, bumping into each other, some people hit the walls and explode. It is chaotic and so much fun. I think this will be the next big "thing"
can't wait to play it myself!
Agreed. Haven't even Top 50'd, but it's been loads of fun! XD
As a huge Mario fan, while this Direct didn't have a lot of new announcements, the ones they had really hit for me. And it's understandable for it to be remake season since the Switch is winding down.
I like Mario games, but they bore me to tears in Directs. There was just so much of it here.
True but I can kinda understand why some were not as into it. There were 3 Mario game remakes and no word on Prime Echoes or 4 and effectively if it's not specifically Mario or his side-cast your into there wouldn't much too take from it. Legitimately Unicorn Overload was probably the best thing they showed IMO.
Another Code and Mario vs DK made the direct for me tbh.
Just very specific games that I love that I didn't expect to see again like that. Especially Another Code, that was an insane moment.
It's outdated your review.
I did really like the MvDK game on gba
I go into every direct thinking “I know there will be at least something amazing for a certain group of fans” and I’ve never been disappointed. Sure not every game announced is my cup of tea but seeing the joy of other fans is totally enough for me
I think F-ZERO 99 is a genius way to get new people into this dead series if they were planning on making a new one. Get people attached to it with this free to play version and then announce a remake of GX or a brand new one in the February direct
@@ts7844 Skill issue the game is really fun
@@ts7844 it’s actually pretty fun
Unicorn Overlord is the surprise winner (dare I say, the unicorn...) of the direct for me, silly name and all. I have been waiting for SO LONG for a proper Ogre Battle 64 spiritual successor and it looks like we finally have one. Truly the most surprising and exciting reveal for me.
Bless you dufflebag, you should be in for a treat too. VanillaWare are a very good studio and they tend to make great games.
I think, considering this is probably the final line up before the next console, I'm actually a little relieved that the direct wasn't that crazy. I'd rather them be focusing right now on the next console for a solid launch line-up (provided it launches holiday 2024) then splitting their resources with this console. I think a reprioritisation at the end of the Wii U's lifecycle really helped out the switch at launch, and the lack of building up a solid launch line-up at the end of the Wii's lifecycle really hampered the Wii U's launch in a way that it never recovered from. The fact we are getting an original, and kinda interesting game with Princess Peach approximately 6-9 months before launch as the switch's swansong, a much requested remake with Paper Mario and some unexpected surprises with Another Code, Mario vs DK and F-Zero 99 actually does seem to be giving some freedom to port/make some interesting experiments which hopefully people can even try on the next console, provided there is backwards compatibility. I'd imagine, or at least hope, a new Mario Kart, 3D Mario or Splatoon 4 and Metroid Prime 4 alongside something experimental like ARMs or Nintendo Land are gonna be our launch line-up for the first 6 months (With Metroid being treated like breath of the wild, appearing on both consoles).
Mario is going to have quite possibly the best holiday season he has ever enjoyed. No one can blame Nintendo for going all in on Mario releases lol.
2022 was the driest Mario year since 1990 with only 2 games
Can't believe Another Code is coming back! That was the game that sold me on the DS. Very excited we're finally getting the sequel. The box art for the collection looks beautiful!
I remember it as well. Loved it. Can't wait to play it on Switch.
The sequel on Wii has one of the best vibes to play ever
@@david88464 Good to hear! I'm excited to try it.
By the way, Acht is Dedf1sh. She's a minor side character who is slightly talked about in Splatoon 2. (And she did some of the music in Octo Expansion too.)
It's at least good to know the Fuzz didn't get her
And that she's, yknow, actually sane unlike the other sanitized Octarians
It was so cool to see Dedf1sh in person. Besides the idols, we've never seen another musical artist actually in the games. They did pretty much all of the soundtrack to OctoExpansion. So excited to see where this goes!
@@Bracketmeister Actually, Harmony (From Hotlantis in Splatoon 3) is/was the first non-idol musical artist seen in game. (She was the lead singer in Chirpy Chips in Splatoon 1 and 2)
@@Toonrick12 You are completely correct. I can't believe I forgot Harmony. I'm so used to her crouching on the Hotlantis floor, I forgot we knew her from Chirpy Chips first.
The DS & Wii Another Code games were ones I managed to secure for a decent price during the early days of the pandemic, so I'm really looking forward to the Recollection remakes!
As someone who in a newbie to Nintendo with the Switch I'm loving the influx of remasters from classic games I have missed out on. Always gets me excited when everyone gush over a game from the past. I'm hyped for Another Code based on these guys reactions to it. I've also been wanting to play A Thousand Year Door for ages!
It was a very fun game. I can't wait to see it on Switch.
Another Code!!!! Omg I miss that series and Cing games so much. Anything that brings back their games is great in my book. I hope at least some of the original staff are on board though 🥺😱
Whenever Pyoro is, I hope they are safe from Nintendo's army of suits.
Pyoro is, in Wario lore, WarioWare Inc’s direct competitor.
It might just be a psy op
@@MegaFIare psychic operative?
I'm glad he didn't spoil TTYD. 🎉
@@ravenebony2267They actually hinted at that TOO believe it or not they said “what do you think will *CLOSE* the direct” ttyd involves a door which can be closed.
My favorite thing shown was the new Peach game, it looks really good!
Everyone says this was “Mid”/Not Great, but the reality is, Nintendo is in that weird “in between consoles” phase, so everyone should’ve had there expectations in check.
I'm surprised they didn't announce Metroid Prime 2 and/or 3 Remastered
I think that, being the end of the Switch's cycle, this was the perfect time to drop a lot of remakes, because this opens them up to showcase lots of new games for the Switch 2.
Another Code Recollection proves that miracles CAN happen!! Not since the announcement of the localization of Project Zero 4 have I gazed at my TV with such unfathomable bewilderment and disbelief, not able to process if what I was seeing was actually real. I love the original game to pieces, so this was the absolute highlight for me. I might've just as well turned off the TV after that because nothing else even came close!
I can't believe how good, we, mario rpg fans, are eating in a timeline where color splash exists
Color Splash is good
Idk, remakes of existing game don't satisfy my appetite.
I think sticker star would make more sense (because it released before colour splash and is considered way worse)
Color Splash? Don't you mean Sticker Star?
the M&L series is dead though, worst timeline for Mario RPG :(
I loved Trace Memory, but I wonder how they’ll handle the puzzles in the remake. There were a lot that utilized the DS hardware.
I'm wondering that too
I find it hilarious they renamed Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon to just Luigi's Mansion 2. I was always bothered that Luigi's Mansion 3 was just numbered and not subtitled, but now Nintendo went back and fixed that problem for me!
It was always Luigi's Mansion 2 in Europe. Also the game was originally going to be called Luigi's Mansion 2 in North America when it was first announced in 2011.
Feels like 3DS end of life with a lot of remakes and a handful of interesting titles (Mario Wonder, Peach, etc)
Wow, I didn't think of it like that. It's kinda depressing...
@@alonkatz4633
You mean exciting!! NEW CONSOLE BABY
@@BBWahoo Exciting, but also depressing, you know?
@@alonkatz4633
True, but all good things must eventually come to an end, like the first and second temples. We'll one day reclaim our holy mario land 1 and 2.
@@BBWahoo Sad, but very true...
I'm very interested in Another Code. It looks really cool and I never played the old games.
Announcement of a Vanillaware game made my day
I think what helped me was that, despite knowing everything Pyoro said, it never took away my hype. All I knew about the Mario vs Donkey Kong was that it had the Minis in it, we had no clue it was a remake. F-Zero 99 sounded like an alright concept on paper but when actually seeing and playing it, it's insane. That and also this is still the first fzero game in 19 years. I wasn't into the Another Code remakes but man did the artstyle look good. Peach Showtime, RPG, Splatoon DLC, Kart 8 DLC, Trombone Champ and TTYD all look great.
The DK remake was great for me. I knew the rumors of a Mario vs Donkey Kong game, and I assumed it had to be one of the Lemmings-esque Minis games. I really hoped they would go back to Donkey Kong classic, but didn't think they would. So the fact that they did really made me smile.
I thought it was a solid Direct, the Mario news was great, Another Code looks solid and the SpyxFamily game looks like a delight. Not an all-timer, but still good imo. Still can’t believe PM TTYD HD is real…
I was really hoping the original Paper Mario on N64 would be first to be remade. But I’ll happily pick up TTYD HD.
Only let down was no prime 2. Everything else was killer.
Was a good direct solely cause, the contents of the direct confirmed Ninty's new console is on the horizon!
Yep, not many totally new games is a sign of main developers working on more important stuff.
I definitely liked what they showed, but yeah, definitely winding down.
The biggest sidewinder in this direct for me (not my most hyped, just the biggest surprise), was SpyXAnya Operation: Memories. You're just going through the highlights when *BAM* you get an anime jumpscare. Not that I'm complaining, it looks like a super comfy game.
Another Code is great... But I would have preferred a Hotel Dusk revival.
I have a irrational dislike for remakes so this Direct did nothing for me
I like quality remakes and I can even understand where you're coming from.
i was hoping for maybe revealing dragon quest 3 hd-2d remake or metroid prime 2 or 3 and maybe a port of wind waker t/p. they had a mario direct recently why show us more mario related games...they should have done it at that mario direct...
16:09 I don't know if I'd agree on "better", aside from the whole emotion mechanic, Super Princess Peach was a typical 2D Mario game from what I can tell. Peach basically did exactly what Mario did, with a unique spin that (at the time) seemed right for her character.
Showtime seems to be more of a minigame collection than anything, like something you'd give to your younger sister. I don't see it being that engaging outside of a younger audience.
At least she's playable in Mario Wonder.
Just TTYD alone made this direct hit so fucking hard. But Peach Showtime, Mario RPG, Mario Kart DLC, even Mario vs. Donkey Kong, all the Mario shit was baller.
TTYD though... it does not feel real whatsoever
Unicorn Overlord wins the direct from the name alone
If anything this Direct proved that the Switch 2 is on its way.
As someone who really enjoys Mario games and never played the RPGs for real past Super Paper Mario (whether that can be seen as a RPG is up to debate), I am actually excited.
Also F-ZERO 99 is really fun.
The one thing that I think most people haven't discussed is how significant the Tomb Raider remasters are to the fanbase. A lot of people felt alienated by the reboot trilogy, so being able to play that original trilogy on modern platforms as intended or with the new visuals is a big deal. Especially since they come with all the DLCs that were hard to come by.
This, Another Code, Mario vs. Donkey Kong, Thousand Year Door, Horizon Chase 2, F-Zero 99, and 4 (not 2 as expected) characters to end the Booster Course Pass makes this an 8/10 Direct minimum. Not to mention more info on PP Showtime, SM RPG and Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD
Is 2023 a Top 3 year for directs? All 3 together as a group were AMAZING?
I'm ready to dive back into a thousand year door
I think the Direct was a solid 6 out of 10, maybe a 7. It's very easy to say a Direct is THE WORST if it isn't perfect. Some cool little announcements like Another Code, Contra, and UNICORN OVERLORD (The name is absolutely not terrible, embrace the camp).
You have to keep in mind how old the Switch is, and the impending announcement of new hardware makes BIG brand new megaton reveals quite unlikely.
The only thing I was shocked we didn't see was Metroid Prime 2. I didn't count on Zelda ports so soon after TotK so that's no big deal.
unicorn seems alright that’s about it
TTYD makes this the best day of my life
Another Code is being remade.
I am happy.
It’s not that this Direct had too many remakes. We are just getting too many remakes in general AND being charged too much for it. People complained about Tropical Freeze being priced at 60 bucks. How are people not outraged about them charging that much for a frickin’ 20 year old GC game? It has a facelift, sure, but that’s it. We should have better access to legacy content… at reasonable prices.
Personally I thought this was a C as you can get, and it mostly came down to it due to a lot of the announcements weren't new or interesting imo, but there were some cool highlights though.
I have seen people disagree with this statement, but I generally got the feeling that we defenitley are in the transition phase of the console as we didn't really get those big big announcements today.
With that said, Paper Mario TTYD remake is a very big deal and I for one am so happy that they finally went back to preserve it, as me and plenty of others probaby have given up hope of it ever happen
Dude, a new Vanillaware game was enough to make this direct a blast for me.
I'm happy to be in the divided bubble with you guys -- I was SO excited from this direct. I grew up on Mario RPG so I'm getting that remake day one, F-Zero 99 has been a blast already, Im going to get to try Paper Mario TTYD, Another Code, and Tomb Raider for the first time, Unicorn Overlord looks fantastic. Peach Showtime even looks good and I wasn't initially interested!
I understand healthy skepticism but it's so much easier and more enjoyable to be positive about gaming. There is a LOT of good stuff out there no matter where you look.
Intro... my new favorite discussion music!!
Yeah they're remakes, but good lord what great remakes! It really makes me excited for what we could see being announced in the near future.
I still can't believe the TTYD remake is real. That combined with Super Mario Wonder, the Super Mario RPG Remake, and Princess Peach Showtime, it appears Mario games are allowed to have personality again instead of feeling sterile, which Mario felt like during the Wii U and much of the Switch eras.
Nintendo ALWAYS does remakes when they are close to introducing the next system. Not sure why nostalgic remakes are bad????
The original Mario vs DK was originally going to have a level editor, but it was scrapped in development.
I soft-modded my North American Wii to play Another Code R.
Then I soft-modded my then-FWB's Wii so that we could play Skyward Sword a few times days before the official release :P
I'm hoping that if F-Zero 99 gets enough downloads, this will make Nintendo either decide "hey let's Remaster GX for the next console or make a new game" and with the Mario vs DK i hope they decide to bring Mario vs DK on GB/GBC on NSO.
I thought this was a solid direct. Maybe not the best but definitely a good one. Personally, I have a feeling that the people complaining expected like Xenoblade 4, Metroid Prime 4, Dragon Quest 12, GTA 6 and Starfield to be announced together or something...
My highlight was Another Code and the new Vanillaware game! I never imagined Another Code to be remade because the company that made it is gone and I had no idea who had the rights to it. (Hopefully Nintendo has the rights to Hotel Dusk and Last Window too and they remake it.)
Yeah. I don't suspect they'll show Metroid Prime 4 till either late 2024 or around 2025. We even haven't heard about Prime 2 & 3 getting remastered or ports.
@@jaretco6423 I do hope they remaster Prime 2 & 3. The 1 remaster was great.
@@By-the_Way Ditto. I'm sure Prime 2 & 3 will come.
I thought the Direct was meh, but I was expecting it to be meh since we seem to be in the transitional period between the Switch and what's coming next. Since my expectations were kinda low, TTYD really surprised me in the best way.
Any sane Xenoblade fan knows that Xenoblade 4 is a long way away and a Xenoblade X port isn't happening at least until Switch 2
Before you write off Unicorn Overlord, please check out one of the old Ogre Battle games. Liberation!
I can’t wait to get my heart torn out by Scarlett’s letter again in the TTYD HD.
I never knew Mario V DK was a sequel to DK 94
After the visuals of Luigi’s Mansion 3 the 2 HD remaster was always going to be an uphill battle for the devs. However considering what a short time window it was available then I think it’s still a great thing more people get to experience it.
I'm excited for a lot of the things announced in this direct and I enjoyed it a lot, I definitely feel like it revealed a lot of games that are important to the futures of their series, because if they aren't going to hit decent sales with the switch's current huge install base then they likely aren't worth pursuing as a business decision, so here's hoping that exceed Nintendo's expectations.
If another code is being brought from the dead, then maybe we’ll see hotel dusk return too?????
How many Directs have gone by now when people have said, "This is the swan song for the Switch; it's starting to peter out"? It has to have been in the conversation for at least every Direct this year. And yet here we are, Nintendo has games scheduled for the Switch into at least Summer 2024. They may have gone remake-heavy, but they are supporting this system well longer than so many commentators expected them to.
This is just like the Switch pro rumours. People just making an incredibly obvious guess and trying to cash in on the idea that they might be right. If you guess that Nintendo are going to reveal a new console every few months or so, you will be right eventually.
...That unfortunately makes two consecutive directs that leave me kind of deflated. It's so much Mario and so many remakes that I don't really care enough about. Mario just doesn't really excite me right now, which ultimately leaves precious little to see today.
Side Order does look great, but it is more than half a year away still and we have known about it for a long time now. Unicorn Overlord and Eiyuden Chronicle look like things I might perhaps be interested in, and I'll consider Wargroove 2. I enjoyed the first game. That's about it.
F-Zero 99 might be the most exciting announcement here. I can see myself playing this a fair bit over the coming year.
But nothing that really thrilled me, I'm sad to say. Feeling a bit of a lull.
There is another game that may be to your liking. It was shown in Japan direct because it will be release in Japan first. But the dev confirmed that there will be English version. Check for Stray Children from Onion Games. They are the same Dev that made Moon RPG
Clear end of gen direct
was the Mario vs DK remake completely made using the 3D world Mario Maker 2 assets?
16:17 I hope that they DO show up but it is at the very end of the game just as Peach is about to beat the Sour Grape and witness her doing so.
Direct before class this after class, beautiful day.
For what this is (more than likely the last end to end switch direct. This was good and showed they are willing to bring back both old classics and lesser known collections. My guess is that we may get a direct mini in January with a tease of the new console as a show ender with a save the date screen for a full console and lineup reveal sometime in spring.
But overall it's just great to see switch have a great swan song instead of a whimper like wii u.
The only thing I see them doing for the 2 slots for 4 characters is simply making Villager and Inkling 1 slot (to hide the 2 new characters coming) I'd put Funky and Peachette there. Then have Diddy and Pauline in the other side.
Another code remakes are not what I was expecting! I loved those games!
This direct speaks to me like a 2016 3DS games announcement.
They're probably winding down newer titles in preparation for the Switch 2.
A new vanillaware game, looks gorgeous full on strategy game play, you all don't mention it until half an hour in and say people aren't hyped????
What are you all on? Jfc.
This direct was awesome!
Jon said it best, twitter is always gonna complain about something. F-zero 99 is a test to see if people are interested in a new game, and the fact that fans aren't understanding that is frustrating
Ash is twitter?
I feel like the next 3D Mario game will feature Donkey Kong as like the big thing of the game. There is your DK game.
I will say with most confidence that the recent direct was another good one, but I do think the June Direct was better, mostly for the bigger surprise factors, such as Mario Wonder.
The best announcements were, Thousand Year Door remake, Mario VS Donkey Kong 1 remake, Princess Peach Showtime and F-Zero 99! Oh and that SpyxAnya game is cool as well.
Weakest announcements were the Nintendo Museum thing and oddly enough, Detective Pikachu 2's third trailer... the Museum could have honestly been its own separate video and was kinda indifferent to the third Detective Pikachu Returns trailer... all we got is that Pablo was returning and Luxray is a new assistant. Yawn. Oh and that Contra game looks rough.
New SaGa game looks cool, as is Eiuden Chronicles. New Vanillaware game looks like if Ogre Battle and Langrisser had a baby, Trombone Champ was another "nice to have this on Switch" kind of announcement, Contra remake looks kinda rough, despite it being by Wayforward...
Another Code recollection is looking great and it pleases the Nintendo historian in me to see some more niche Nintendo franchises getting some love. Wario Ware Move It has some of that wacky fun Smooth Moves has and I love it! Though I'm not too keen on Wario's new voice... sounded rough.
It was a solid direct, even if it was more remake focused.
I've beaten Another Code countless of times. I remember it was one of the first really good DS releases
One day we will get Last Window as well...
It's so bizarre to me the "white outline hatred". People getting insulted over it an'all. So strange.
Good night and good vibes is a really good sense of message. You guys should make that part of the branding.
I remember how much of an after though the 3ds was after the switch released.
It will be strangely ironic that the switch could have the same fate having a 3ds game (dark moon) come out on switch after the switch 2 is out
Basically, everything that I'm interested in getting from this direct was stuff that we already knew about. The only cool things were F-Zero 99, Tomb Raider 3, and Another Code.
Paper Mario is neat but I already have the original and I don't see anything compelling me to get the remake.
What I liked best was sword Peach (and the other costumes) and Tomb Raider, as I really want to play those games in my switch lite.
Nintendo Museum opening date is the most important announcement because it'd would be the perfect place to showcase the Switch 2
I guess so but not really
That is actually an interesting idea.
I had another code r on the wii, I enjoyed it
Defending remakes because the originals are expensive is a bit weird... nothing prevents nintendo of doing nso ports, or event ports in a compilation. The fact that Nintendo has been terrible at making its games available beyond Mario, i dont think justifies it.
I agree that it wasn't the greatest direct, but at the same time. Sony and Microsoft have released like 3 new games in 3 years and they are full in their generation. The switch is absolutely at the end of it's lifecycle.
I really really hope they remake the original at some point though...
As someone who's not as huge a fan of Mario RPGs as most Nintendo fans my age seem to be, I do really think TTYD is the strongest one and deserves the remake and to be more reasonable to buy for people. But to me, there are just a few things holding it back from being a "must play" game (to me, only Super Paper Mario hits that, and if we're counting derivative games, Bug Fables does too), and I hope the remake subtly addresses them while leaving the rest of the game intact. Mainly, I'm talking about the backtracking segments that really slow the pacing to a crawl. The infamous General White section of Chapter 7 is honestly not _too_ big a deal, I just hope that they make it so you don't have to manually retravel the snow area so much, just open a shortcut at the end of it if you want to keep the joke of the wild goose chase. But Chapter 4... The path between Twilight Town and Creepy Steeple gets old _real_ fast. There are probably some other minor tweaks and QoL changes that could be made too. But if they change those while keeping the rest of the game intact, that would bump it up to the must-play status everyone else gives it.
F-zero 99 is the F-zero series Metroid prime federation force moment.
This direct was pretty “eh, it’s alright” for me. It’s clear that the Switch is in its twilight years, and so are either winding down releases or saving them for the next console. And so as much as I wish we got a big new DK game alongside Mario Vs. DK or an F-Zero GX remaster alongside F-Zero 99, there was enough stuff here to at least keep me busy until the next direct. That and September directs tend to be the weakest ones in their respective year, since I can’t remember the last one that legitimately blew my mind since…2018? Maybe 2019?
But anyhoo, I 1000% can’t wait for the TTYD remake and can now finally play the game without either paying an arm and a leg or sailing the seven seas.
Loved Origami King too lol
It was a lot of fun, probably my favorite paper mario
We are in the endgame.
The thing for me about the TTYD remake is that I don't understand why this was announced right now. The Mario RPG remake isn't even out yet, so announcing a remake of another beloved mario roleplaying game feels just way too sudden. It probably isn't coming out until at least the summer next year, so I feel like it would have been way better to announce this in a February direct or something instead and not have them cannibalise each other as much...
I’m in the “TTYD is just okay” camp, so while I may pick it up, I’m not as excited as “the internet” is for it.
I like its writing but I'm not looking forward the backtracking. Later games* have better pacing imo... Or at the very least I find them nicer to replay *also the first one! (N64)
It’s makes think that we won’t get the next gen system info until late summer for a presentation in late September and for a slated DECEMBER JANUARY release. With Metroid prime 4 launching alongside the system and also smaller games. The next Mario kart , 3d Mario game are very likely as well and also the long awaited 3d dk game. We could probably get sequels to like arms 2 and captain toad 2 and remasters like uprising and smash bros ultimate deluxe.
If I owned just a single switch game it would have to be TTYD.
Hey people have been asking for Nintendo to make their older games easily available and they're doing that.
