Nintendo Direct March 3rd 2016

Can we please stop getting mario and sonic at the olympics games, sports in videogames with half the characters I don't care about at all isn't fun.

None of the minigames in it are fun.

Ikr. Who buys those games

Honestly think you guys should give Yokai Watch a chance if you haven't. I barely even like Pokemon or anything like that and I surprisingly enjoyed it a lot.

I've heard a lot of good things about Yokai Watch. Maybe it's around that time that the hate starts to pop up, like it seems to do with almost anything. Who knows. ~

I'd give it a try if I

1. Didn't already have a backlog
2. That backlog wasn't already increasing with the likes of Bravely Second and more Hyrule Warriors

These Directs just keep on getting less and less exciting.

A Sticker Star-esque Paper Mario Wii U is just a nail in the coffin for that series for me. It's a very sad day. The first two Paper Mario games were amazing. What have you done, Nintendo?

 

[Reindeer]

We're getting Yokai Watch 2 and probably Yokai Watch 3, so it looks like the Yokai train won't be stopping for a while

Yokai Watch is currently one of the most popular franchises in Japan, so I'm not surprised sequels are coming. Whether or not we're getting them depends on how well they sell.
I haven't tried the game myself but will try out the demo to see if it's any good.

The Direct was a mixed bag for me. I don't know why I keep letting myself get hyped over these. #RipJav
I'm real damn hyped about Kirby, though!!

They're naturally going to be somewhat disappointing in this kind of limbo time right now. As in, Nintendo's A teams are going to be working on NX titles at this point, not Wii U / 3DS stuff. Sure we'll see some good stuff when those A team games on NX get revealed at E3 and later.

Me me me! I'm actually excited for it. I've enjoyed all the Mario and Sonic Olympic games thus far.

That's the original, when it was decent and wasn't a sellout.

That's true but to be fair this series does sell surprisingly well

 

[Coach]

I forgot this was planned, so I guess I'll comment on it now.

Star fox - will the Falco Amibo have any function?
Olympics game - Looks like it'll be good. I couldn't spot Cream the rabbit though, so I hope she is still in the game.
Paper Mario - No thank you!
Pokemon fighting one - I wouldn't like it, looks cool though.
Mini Mario - Cool as I have the amiibo
Disney Art academy - Pokemon art academy again but disney no thanks
Rhythm Heaven megamix - I love that series so I really want it
Kirby - looks good but I don't really want it

Overall I am excited for Mini Mario thing as I have the amiibo so it is an added bonus for me, Rhythm heaven megamix is great because I love the games and the Olympic one looks good but I do not recognise a few of the characters and hope that Cream is in it. Not interested about other games!

So pumped for Monster Hunter Generations and Rhythm Heaven Megamix tho omggg

That's the original, when it was decent and wasn't a sellout.

I wish more people gave the latest Winter Olympics game a go. It had some cool dream events and the normal events were pretty fun too. The game graphics themselves put me in the winter mood which is why I crack it open at the end of the year. I'm hoping they'll at least make one more winter game, but that's probably just my opinion.
