Nintendo Direct (February 2022) Discussion

Aight, who wants to discuss the newest reveals and updates in this week's Nintendo Direct?

I guess the first thing I'd like to say is "HOLY DJDHGGJCGHGFFHCBJJ?!?!!!!!!!1! ," but not everyone understands hype-driven Gibberish, so let's all agree to use plain and simple English, as we do in every other part of the forum.

I'm super excited for the new Booster Course Pass coming to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. It's nice to see the revamped Retro circuits featured in Mario Kart Tour are indeed intended for this DLC.

Also, Ninja Fronking Hideaway! In the very first add-on pack in March! That track is amazing (even though it has framerate issues on many devices), so it'll be exciting to experience it on a console that can handle it! YATTA!

Oh... and revamped Salmon Run in Splatoon 3 looks, like, totes fresh or whatever... now if you'll excuse me, I'm just gonna succumb to a little excitement-induced burnout for a while... see you all on Pokémon Day.

Live-A-Live, Mario Kart 8: Deluxe Booster Pass, Chrono Cross: Radical Dreamer's Edition, and Xenoblade Chronicles 3 were my favourite announcements from the direct. Also looking forward to the new Mario Strikers game!

This direct was awesome! There’s a ton of games I’ve gotten from it and a ton I’m still waiting for to release

@KokorOtaku Anything in particular you’ve been playing from the Direct?

@ShinyNintendoPurist I’ve been playing Kirby, MK DLC and Chrono Cross from that direct and soon will be playing Nintendo Switch Sports and have Mario Strikers, Live A Live, FE Warriors 3 Hopes on pre order and I’m waiting to put Klonoa on pre order

@KokorOtaku I’ve been seeing a fair bit of discussion on Live-A-Live, though admittedly I’m not quite sure what to make of it. From what I can tell, it’s something to do with different eras of history, but not sure if it’s based on an anime/manga series or its own video game.

@NintendoFronkinPurist it’s its own thing

@KokorOtaku Sweet! Looks like I have another potential game to research for my library.

@NintendoFronkinPurist Yeah, plus it has a lot of the creative talent from Chrono Trigger who developed the original game so you know it's going to be amazing!

I hope we get a 2D-HD Chrono Trigger after Live A Live

@Towafan7 @KokorOtaku I haven’t yet had the opportunity to play that one…
