Square Enix's presentation was a vast improvement over last year's. Showed off a lot of really neat games and I think the live audience enhanced the showcase a bit. Seeing not just FF7 Remake in action, but a lot of other games including promises of FF8 (finally) getting a remastered release on modern systems and freakin' Romancing SaGa 3 getting a release outside of Japan. It's a game that lets you recruit a giant talking lobster named Boston. What's not to love? If only they'd put out Seiken Densetsu 3 (aka, the sequel to Secret of Mana) outside of Japan. That's the true holy grail of missing great Japanese Squaresoft games.
I'd give the whole thing a solid A.

there was talk of a Mana collection being released in Europe... via a copyright thing... but nothing official.

Guys! Just Dance 2020... is on the Wii! Funny as it is, I think I saw somewhere that certain hospitals use Just Dance on the Wii as form of physical therapy. Great presentation. A lot of game play shown off, except for Avengers, which was nice. Threw us a few nice surprises, such as FINAL FANTASY 8 REMASTER!!!!!!, ahem, which made me audibly squee. Still confused about 7 though, is Midgar both discs or is it one disc and the rest the other? If it is both discs, the title and marketing is very misleading. Regardless, I'll be getting it, along with about 30 different titles it seems like now. How the hell do I juggle college and ALL THISS? (don't say I don't damnit) I mean, I am going into geek/gaming journalism, I guess I could say it's for my future career.... (note do not judge my future journalism writing by my forum posts, it's nice not to have to stick to formal writing damnit.) Edit: going from Square-Enix's store Midgar is both discs. Source: store.na.square-enix-games.com/en_US/product/562559/final-fantasy-vii-remake-ps4#/desc"The first entry in a multi-part saga, delivering a level of depth inconceivable for the original. Mind-blowing story, unforgettable characters, epic battles and technical excellence collide." (internally screams)

I'm already hearing people complaining about the price of the Collectors Edition. So, while I understand and think that's a ludicrous amount to pay, I'm just thankful that the game itself is still the regular $60.

Crash Team Racing will have DLC. The podium girls will be drivers. Though I don't think having "Baby" characters should be a mark of endearment.

Very little for me in that Nintendo Direct. Can't stand anime stuff, so it always bums me out when they go in that direction for these Directs. I'm sure there's cool stuff for those who enjoy that sort of thing. Banjo's unveiling was a really awesome throwback to the King K Rool bait-and-switch, so that was cute. Just made me want to see Dixie hangin' out in DK's treehouse, though. I never played the Banjo games, but this is 100% the kind of character I like to see in Smash. It's a huge get, and it makes sense given the Nintendo historical aspect of SSB. Very happy for everyone who grew up with those games to finally get him in Smash; that's how I felt about K Rool. Luigi's Mansion 3 is the #1 game I'm looking forward to, but to be honest I'm not feeling the style as much. I feel like it needs to be darker, but hey, who knows how the final game will turn out. I'm still very excited to play it. I liked both Luigi's Mansion games; only reason I never finished 2 was because my damn 3DS trigger buttons broke.
That snippet of Mario & Sonic at the Olympic games using retro sprites was awesome!
I think I'm just gonna get that and Mario Maker 2 this year. I absolutely love the art style of Link's Awakening, so even though I'm not much of a Zelda guy, I might pick that one up, too. Something about how that game looks and how it seems to play is intriguing me more than usual. Plus, it's a total redesign of a Gameboy game...that's my jam! Bring on Mole Mania 2 and DK '94...2? Yeah.

When the Wii was first released a bunch of hospitals bought them for PT. and Just Dance in particular is used for that. So it's Ubisoft actually being good guys and helping the hospitals out... by still selling the disks <_< it doesn't cost them that much more to print a few hundred Wii disks.

Catching up on the Nintendo Direct conference since I missed all of it. HOLY SHIT SEIKEN DENSETSU 3 REMAKE!
And they're porting all three of the original SD games to the Switch, too! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

I’m a sucker for seasonal pass content like this, but it does come with accelerated chance of burnout on the game, like what happened with Fortnite and Rocket League for me. I don’t play either of them anymore, the content chase became too much... Although what didn’t help was that I was pretty shit at both games, LOL. What helps here though is that I’ve been a Crash Bandicoot guy for 20 years, so content built exclusively around that is way more appealing to me.

I want to be excited about Breath of the Wild 2 because the first one got so much praise. But...I never finished the first one because I lose interest in open world games after a while. I recognize how great the game is and enjoyed initially getting into it, but my interested faded the more I played. 'd like to finish the first before the second and I don't know if I ever will.
Avengers has a lot of stuff that I should be excited about - it's the Avengers and the voice cast is pretty great. However, I'm very skeptical for some reason. I was hoping the news on it would be that it would be an absolute single player, story driven experience. I know it will feature that in a mode option, but I also just want them to keep it simple and focus on one thing to make it the best possible option. I'm worried that they might try to do too much.
I remain most excited for Star Wars, Cyberpunk, and the Xbox console from E3.
