Shown on the Japanese direct but not on the American one: Makes sense, if you included that and the Ryza 2 news, that might have stretched the American Direct to an unreasonable 10 minutes, and who has that kind of time?

So the thing about there being a secret Mario Twitter account being found that seems to line up with the other official Nintendo ones in its email address? Turns out another one's been found that would be substantially more surprising if it pans out. {Spoiler}{Spoiler}F-Zero. And that account was confirmed as fake after it posted weird porn. So...nice troll job there?

I’m watching someone play Deadly Premonition 2, and my lord it’s unforgivably bad. Fun to watch someone riffing over it, but I could never imagine actually playing it.

Shown on the Japanese direct but not on the American one: Bro we need the video space for WWE battlegrounds!. But seriously, this direct was kind of pointless especially compared to the Japanese direct.

About 5 hours in I’m enjoying Origami King.

I've seen people complaining about it but... the direct announcement flat out said it was a short one focusing on "a small amount" of partner projects that were already announced...
don't know why anyone really expected like anything out of it.

I think Nintendo should have just called it a partner showcase without the direct labeling, similar to how indie games showcases aren't called directs, but "Indie World". The backlash it got was still dumb, but Nintendo should have thought this better. Kinda like a lot of their live events this month.

Yeah, I don't really get being mad about this one. It was lame and didn't really tell us anything, sure, but that's pretty much what they advertised it as. They weren't going to put out anything major with only 10 hours advance notice.
If I have any grievances it's that the most interesting game of the bunch was cut from the non-Japanese videos for some reason.

I think a lot of the antipathy is rooted in both Nintendo still not telling anything about the rest of their 2020 lineup and that after 4 months of no general directs (and 10 months since one that wasn't a mini) that their first showcase was an 8 minute video with DLC for an indie game, a lousy looking WWE title, and an Ubisoft shooter.
Not exactly putting their best foot forward in a year that's already accused of being a drought with information.

I think I can see why Nintendo has been hesitant. Considering how we don’t know what the Christmas season will be like, I can see them not wanting to put their foot forward until they’re able to understand the situations globally and not to lose out on some of their audience because of how COVID is over there.
Like, I’d say if it wasn’t for COVID, E3 would have said everything and August would be a Partner Direct and a long one about (insert big title here).

Had Gold points I needed to spend and the stepkid asked for Spyro Reignited for his birthday in a couple of weeks and GUESS WHAT IS ON SALE?
Game is originally $40. I got it for a little over $10 after it's discount and Gold points used. I'm a good stepfather, lol

I kinda wish there was a way to adjust the camera so that you're not so up close and fast when you charge. I don't recall having this issue with the PS1 version, but the remaster kinda effed with me
