Dan and I go over the Nintendo Direct announcements, share our thoughts on the Super Mario 3D World Switch version, and Bowser's Fury. Then, we go into the controversial revival of the once infamous cancelled game Six Days in Fallujah.

Great podcast. I agree it wasn’t the best Direct. I’m not sure what’s going on with Nintendo. Either COVID hit them harder than we realize and/or they’re still massively struggling with HD development. Splatoon 3 is a great announcement. Maybe now that the “one entry per console” rule has been broken we can get Mario Kart 9. Didn’t they consolidate all their dev teams to avoid the issue of long stretches of first party droughts? Also where are some of the more portable oriented series? It’s so weird that out of all the 3DS games they could have brought over they picked Miitopia. Where is Warioware or Rhythm Heaven? Why not bring over something like Kid Icarus Uprising or Pushmo? AlphaDream is sorely missed right now because I think they could have made a great Mario & Luigi game for Switch. That being said I do like that the Switch has some semblance of third party support. I’m super hyped for Monster Hunter Rise next month so I wasn’t desperate for a new game announcements for the first half of 2021. MHR is gonna carry most of this year for me 😎 I guess if E3 rolls around and we get another weak direct maybe it’s time to start panicking a bit. But I’ll remain cautiously optimistic.

I thought the Direct was fine but I was a little disappointed they didnt announce GameBoy or N64 games coming to Nintendo Switch Online. I was surprised they even talked about Zelda at all because I was thinking they would do a 35th Anniversary direct similar to the Mario Direct. Definitely going to get Skyward Sword since I've never played it.

When I originally played Skyward sword w/ the wii motion plus attachment I often had issues w/ the controls (skyward strikes were so hard to do during the final battle). When I later returned to my second playthrough after getting the golden Zelda remote w/ the wii motion plus built in it went way smoother and was much funner to play. Idk if the motion plus attachment was the problem per se, but in my own experience it made a huge difference. Direct was cool, but we did kind of already know Skyward Sword HD was in development (Aonuma teased it during a symphony concert), as well as Splatoon 3 ( the 2020 New Years featured the hidden message "Save Our Salmons")

Hey Liam, any scoop on Platinum 5 and/or the status of the two Wonderful 101 DLCs from Kickstarter? (Fingers crossed for a Viewtiful Joe revival)
