Tried my best to abstain myself from leak threads before E3. Glad I did that :P
So what were the other "couple" games teased by Zell?
Alien Isolation and...?
More.
Alien Isolation and...?
More.
Overall just a rock solid direct. Non-stop content, cool surprises, and a genuinely astounding rest of year lineup.
Day Zero Tier:
Mario Maker and Smash DLC, because I have already bought these. As a DQ fan, the first trailer was awesome, and I really didn't expect a second, equally great reveal.
Day one tier:
Fire Emblem: Three Houses. Complete redemption after appearing pretty meh in the last direct. Better designs, a little more story focus, and seemingly a potentially clever approach to bridge the waifu emblem / masochist emblem crowds.
Dragon Quest 11 S: Excited that this one is so close!
Secret of Mana Collection: I don't care, I'm playing an official copy of Secret of Mana collection 2 in english. This is amazing
Hollow Knight: Silksong
Zelda: Breath of the Majora. I don't care how little we know, this is clearly awesome.
Pokemon (the last direct / Wild Area had me)
Crosscode (not featured in the direct, still a top-tier 2019 release)
Wait and see tier:
Luigi's Manion 3: Looked really strong, but 100% comes down to whether they keep or drop this mission structure for 2, which killed an otherwise solid game.
Astral Chain: Looks interesting, but will wait for the reviews.
Animal Crossing: Never completely gotten into the series, but the deserted island approach seems like it might do a better job of capturing my interested.
Panzer Dragoon: Amazing that this exists. It's a bold resurrection so may not necessarily work, but still awesome.
No More Heroes / Astral Chain / Marvel Ultimate: Clearly just a case of wait for the reviews.
Links Awakening. Looks promising and interesting and absolutely love the original, but will want to hear more about the new content
Trails of Mana. Every time SE remakes a classic, the gods toss a coin....
MIA tier:
Sad the Ori for Switch rumors haven't really gone anywhere. Would have bee cool if "Banjo collection remastered" was announced at the same time as the Smash reveal. Or Persona.
SNES online. Pls.
Pikmin, Bayonetta, Metroid, whatever Retro has been doing for the last 500 years, whatever Monolith is up to.

I don't mind when they do what Nintendo did. They probably showed 20+ games with fairly concrete release dates and then teased "one more thing" of a clear WIP. I think it's a nice treat for fans every once in a while.
Embarrassing is the word. It's also interesting that any multiplat game's downgrades from, say, the PC version are always acceptable down to their respective platform of choice, but any further downgrades will make the game pointless. It's very curious how things always seem to work out that way.
Also BotW came out more than 2 years ago, they've had time to work on the sequel. Also, isn't this the first time a Zelda game gets a direct sequel? Bar II I guess.
Luigi's Mansion 3 looks cool and BOTW 2 is expected, but glad to see a teaser. Nothing else did anything for me. I'll get a few months out of SMM2, but not much else for me to look forward to. Anime games aren't my thing and that seems to be what Nintendo is all about these days. Not an enjoyable E3 for me.
Fantastic Direct! Lots of great announcements in this one; my personal favorite being No More Heroes 3! So glad that it's finally happening!
Absolutely shocked at Banjo in Smash; never thought that would happen, even in a million years... but Sakurai somehow made it work! They look better than they ever have before, too! He might not be my personal top choice for a new character, but he definitely looks fun to play. Can't wait to give him a try!

Don't forget about the Treehouse. Animal Crossing is on right now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhVCdxtofWU
Lot of things I'm at least somewhat interested in.
BotW sequel has the potential to be really interesting, or really boring. Hope they nail it.
Speaking of Zelda, I kind of want Link's Awakening but I don't feel like a remake of a GB game is really worth $60. Might grab it on sale.
Astral Chain and Daemon x Machinae I'm on the fence about.
Empire of Sin looks right up my alley based on what they showed. Want to see more, and I'll probably get it in PC.
Animal Crossing and Luigi's Mansion are things I haven't played since the GameCube, and they looked pretty good here. Maybe time to try the new entries.
The Fire Emblem leaks bring real makes that game way more promising.
Probably more I'm not remembering, that Direct was dense.

Factually wrong. They needed to spend 30 minutes on the most obvious bit of all time. Lol
Aside from that, I thought the only lulls were Fire Emblem (because anime CGI) and Pokemon (cause we know a lot of it). Much better than previous years where they wasted like 10 minutes on Yoshi plush amiibos or where glorified Smash Directs
I don't understand. Could you elaborate? Are they or are they not including Seiken Densetsu 3 in the Mana collection, and in what form? I've been out of this discussion for over ten years.
Let me just say. This is the best. Love when I get to see this play out before a trailer.
I feel like pavlov's dog with this shit. I can eve hear the sound
Wanted to say, props to Nintendo for delaying stuff when need too. Still hearing too many stories from E3 trying to celebrate developers working nights and weekend because studies won't properly plan (or delay when plans go astray) games when they need to.
Need to decide how many more vouchers to buy now. Already got two earmarked for Mario Maker and Fire Emblem. Another pair will cover Pokemon and Dragon Quest. Debating going for a third for two of Astral Chain / Link's Awakening / Marvel. I'd do it if they included Luigi's Mansion on the list but it's not up there yet...
Retro dream is dead :( what a shame.
Was happy to see No More Heroes 3 is happening and Luigi's Mansion 3 looks great.
Breath of the Wild sequel being announced and having a teaser trailer shown was awesome and a nice surprise.

Slightly disappointed by the absence of Bayonetta 3, Retro, and a new 2.5D Metroid, but I can't say I really expected to see any of those.
Despite that, this was Nintendo's best Switch-era E3 Direct yet. Good pacing, promising games, and significantly more new announcements than I expected.

So uhh... What's everybody playing on Switch this year?
I'm trying to brainstorm a way to play all of those upcoming 2019 games:
- Pokemon Sword/Shield
- Fire Emblem Three Houses
- Astral Chain
- The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt
- Collection of Mana
- Spyro reignited Trilogy
- Crash Team Racing
- DQXIS
- MUA3: The Black Order
- God Eater 3
- Oninaki
Needless to say, I won't play all of them this year. But there's a ton of fun games to be looking forward to!

That was an absolutely fantastic Direct, only disappointment was no Metroid and still no SNES, otherwise they hit it out of the park.
-Dragon Quest heroes in Smash, finally!
-DQ XI S Definitive Edition release date
-Animal Crossing!!
-New Mana AND Mana Collection/SD3 today!!!
-New LA trailer was so good, man that music. I'm playing through the LA right now on my GB Light import system (green indiglo backlit screen) in anticipation.
-Contra surprise
-Panzer Dragoon surprise
-New Zelda/BotW sequel announcement
Doug Bowser did a good job presenting and the opening skit with Bowser in a tie was funny. =]

BotW sequel was their big name game addition to this direct. Otherwise, Odyssey 2 or Metroid 4 would have been in that spot. They probably knew they needed SOMETHING big from their key franchises to stick in people's heads.
The original seiken 3 is included in the Collection, and translated in english and main EU languages for the first time.
But next year, a full on quality remake in 3D will come out.
It looks awesome.
Anything regarding Nintendo and Microsoft? When it wasn't mentioned Sunday figured it'd be today.
It's crazy how much was suspiciously absent from this direct...
- No Retro Studios. (It's been 5 years!!)
- No Bayonetta 3.
- No Town from GameFreaks.
- I didn't expect Metroid Prime 4 just yet. But anything Metroid would've been nice.
- Absolutely no updates whatesoever concerning NSO. No new features? They're still going to dripfeed us NES games for the next year? No SNES games? Anything?? Not even a Tetris 99 update? No other surprises like Tetris 99? Dr. Mario 99 or Puzzle League 99 would have been so perfect.
- No mention of Switch Mini/Pro.
- No OS upgrades.

Ooooh, so Trials of Mana is actually a remake of SD3. Gotcha. That's pretty cool!
I guess we will have to wait for the september direct for some of those.
If Retro Studios was in this Direct it would have been an amazing one. Now it was just good to me.
