Now that we had some days to calm down
and look back at this direct without rose tinted Hype glasses, I have
to say, that it was a pretty good direct. There was nothing that
literally blew my mind and left me speechless, but it had the right
amount of announcements and content to keep me satisfied. Of course
the 3DS was once again the clear winner and if you like RPGs this
Direct was probably the best one in years for you, but even as a more
Wii-U centric gamer I didn't feel let down. We got some announcements
for 2016 and some remainders for 2015. Yes I would have preferred
Twilight Princess HD releasing this year to beef up their Christmas
Line-Up, but the way it is, it will provide a good start into 2016
and the 30th anniversary of Zelda.
We also got a short trailer for Star
Fox Zero and a release date. I really like the way the game looks,
even though the graphics are really nothing to brag about. But the
different vehicles look interesting and should provide different
gameplay approaches. And for me Gameplay always matters more than raw
graphical horse power.
We also got the final confirmation that
Nintendo intends to milk Amiibo for all that it's worth.
I don't want to go into too much
detail, but all in all it was a pretty good direct and it ended with
a high note. Hands up if you honestly thought that Cloud was a
possibility for Smash Bros.
Yeah I thought so...
Anyone who hasn't seen the Direct can
take a look at it here.
