🎮 I finally got around to watching the Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase from a week or two ago. Here are my thoughts:

  • Grounded - meh
  • Ender Magnolia - Vague Hollow Knight vibes. Doesn’t mean I’m excited about it though. Might be worth keeping an eye on
  • Arranger - I like puzzle games but this looks kind of annoying
  • Unicorn Overlord - don’t think it’s for me
  • Monster Hunter Stories - Nah. I do like how it looks though
  • Epic Mickey - Never played this when it originally came out. It looks like the old platformer that it is though. Always feels dicey on a Nintendo system next to Mario games
  • SMT V - I do fancy trying one of theses games one day. Maybe.
  • Star Wars Battlefront - not for me
  • South Park: Snow Day - nah
  • Sword Art Online - heck no
  • Gundam Breaker 4 - I mean I’m not gonna buy it but it does look pretty cool
  • Super Monkey Ball - Aaah never got into this game back in the day! Might check it out one day, it does look like fun
  • World of Goo 2 - The first World of Goo got me a bit frustrated after the first few levels. I do like this developer though so I’ll keep an eye on it
  • Fantasy Life I - AAAAAAAAHHHHHH I NEED THIS. God I loved the one on the 3DS
  • Another Crab’s Treasure.- looks very polished… and it’s a Souls-like you say… I feel it’ll either be great or absolute rubbish
  • Penny’s Big Breakaway - nah. Too much going on, like Sonic
  • Suika Game Multiplay - OMG this is going to consume my parents' lives
  • Pepper Grinder - looks very pretty. Can’t gather much more from that trailer though
  • Pocket Card Jockey - this is the same as the mobile game based on the DS one, right? I didn’t get my head round it when I tried it on iPad
  • The quickfire stuff - nothing grabbed me
  • Nintendo Online retro games - nah
  • Endless Ocean - seems unique and cool but… I don’t think I get it

In conclusion, I’m going to have to buy the Suika Game multiplayer DLC for my parents. And I’ll continue to be excited about Fantasy Life.
