The disrespect with Fantasian was pretty bad, guys. Maybe Blessing and Andy shouldn't have known, but Tim should've understood the significance of Square Enix publishing a Hironobu Sakaguchi game again after all these years.
I don't get how ppl haven't understood by now that KF aren't really JRPG sickos outside of mainline FF games and Pokemon (and occasionally a spinoff) XD
9:20 I understand the joke about Square’s recent financial call, but because this is a port of a previous Apple Arcade-exclusive, I think this is an example supporting that call / against that joke, lol.
@@JigglypuffTutorialsI swear I’m so happy they gave this game attention. It’s literally one of their best selling IPs alltime but they treat it like a step child🤦🏾♂️ we still need boxing, achery, and baseball
It's easy to forget that Nintendo made an entire BoTW top down game, before ever even starting development on the actual game. They've been sitting on this idea for a good while now, and it looks amazing!
13:40 Actually, it was a South Park episode about World of Warcraft from 2006, and the game wasn't a real thing until 2023. I immediately thought of the scene when I saw that..
Shouldn't read chat when they mentioned the Japanese stream and Capcom collection. Would've been a cooler reaction if they didn't know about that before.
That's what I'm saying!! Edit. That was not what I am saying chat really threw them a curveball... seriously Barrett didn't do anything and idk why I realized so late. Egg on my face
Here’s what happened from my perspective: - Chat told us the Japan stream revealed MvC. - Bless asked me to look into it. And it was there from Japanese sources on social media, so I shared that. - MvC finally pops up in the english stream No one’s fault but Nintendo’s for putting that reveal earlier in one stream than another, causing confusion. You can see for yourself in both streams, it pops up a full 6 minutes earlier in the Japanese stream
@@aoBubs Kinda defeats the purpose of Reaction videos when you know what's coming. Although in that case we still got a first reaction on stream. Just a different one than we would have gotten otherwise.
Update: My apologies to Barrett since he didn’t ruin it and it was chat. I still feel that they shouldn’t be looking at chat when they’re doing a reaction video. Just my opinion. OG: Barrett ruining the Marvel vs Capcom collection surprise was dumb. Why would you do that? Couldn’t you just keep it to yourself
Someone in the chat spoiled it, Tim spotted it, and Barrett checked. Blame chat if you like. The cat was already out of the bag well before Barrett got involved.
@@CarterCommaJWell then the blame goes to everyone on the panel except for Andy. If they’re doing a reaction video then I feel they should stay off the chat and focus on what’s being shown
Why tf did Barrett spoil the marvel reveal 😂💀 edit: egg on my face. Truly an embarrassing moment when I turn into a dumbass. Leaving this here cause I made a mistake and so if I have to live with it so be it.
I used to play a Looney Tunes Sports game on my Gameboy Pocket back in the day. It's crazy to see that announcement. That said, despite the nostalgia trip I won't be buying that game lol.
a game doesn't have to "LOOK" good to actually be good :) i'd rather good gameplay then worry about good graphics the sims 4 has excellent graphics but always lacked in gameplay so
(Speaking to their lame reaction to Fantasian) This crew genuinely does NOT care for most jrpg's. Just had a hunch, went and watched their FF7 remake review, and yep. They actually say they've only ever connected with games like Persona or Pokémon. You'd think Blessing would give a damn, considering he said he liked Last Story (also Sakaguchi). But nope. It's genuine disrespect 💀.
How come JRPG fans so often gotta get mad that not everyone appreciates their favorite games as much as them? It's really a trend I'm noticing. Almost makes me embarrassed to enjoy JRPGs myself
Finally I’m watching ❤😊 let’s see what Nintendo has ❤ a viewer of my channel was like did u watch Nintendo direct games coming out I said not yet. So many AMAZING GAMES COMING OUT for the switch ❤ the switch us great Nintendo and indie games ❤
In terms of scope, this game went into development in 2019 at the latest. It’s a Switch game first and foremost, therefore, it’ll be limited to what that system can do in terms of scope. Nothing wrong with that imo, we’ve seen what the Switch can do. Hopefully Switch 2 can increase resolution and possibly framerate, depending on it that on Switch already runs at 60 FPS or not.
@@ThePughski TOTK is a giant open where you can go underground, in the sky, or back to the mainland with no loading screens. The hardware can be used, and for a game like Metroid Prime that’s not open world, the Switch will be able to handle it well enough. The trailer from that Direct was very much proof of that. Nintendo knows how to get the most out of their hardware. In terms of scope, the game will be what it needs to be. Wouldn’t be surprised if Switch 2 can increase that resolution though.
@@danistheguy How is this negative? This is a critique we have been having for Nintendo reveals. Greg is usually negative on the Direct reactions. I get Nintendo isn’t really his thing like the other guys. Just like seeing general positivity on the Directs.
These guys not knowing about Fantasian is a bit cringe moment. This game isn't a Square Enix game. It's been locked on Apple Arcade for years and a number of people have been waiting for it.
@@TehParismio That's fair, and I don't expect everyone to know about every game. I do hold professional video game commentators and reviewers to a separate standard though, especially if they're gonna be cracking jokes about Square Enix in regards to this game without knowing it is published and produced by Mistwalker. The same company, started by Sakaguchi Hironobu, that gave us Lost Odyssey and The Last Story.
I would honestly give this a 7/10, leaning more towards 6 on your guys’ scale. Zelda and Metroid carried a LOT of this, the Mario and Luigi game looked fun too but overall 70% of these games were JRPG fodder or simply something that isnt all that interesting.
@dcsoda1 no, I'm just looking at JRPG's that look like they're from 2005 and games that came out 20 yrs before 2005. Zelda looked cool, Metroid looks generic, I like the art for Mario and Luigi... that's about it
Imagine thinking $60 is an unreasonable amount of money to spend for 20 hours of entertainment. You're the kind of guy who demands the price of everything be super low... except for the price of your own labor. That has to be high AF.
I mean Nintendo games doesn't even go on sale bro thats just bad for the consumers but hey if ur happy buying them good for you 👍 why care about my opinion
really? I believe it. it looks great but I don't know, it just doesn't feel super high-res I guess? it would be funny if it doesn't come to switch since the trailer says it is coming to switch.
Probably on the better end of directs the past couple of years but that is a very low bar to clear. But just how Nintendo is it for them to have gone; "Sir they keep asking for Twilight Princess, Wind Waker and Metroid Prime 2 & 3 HD ports" "OK give them DKC Returns" "But sir no one asked for that" "Yeeessss it's perfect"
This direct blew...no kid icarus, no starfox but ya basketball on switch sports, fuckin zelda zelda zelda, no prime 2 and 3 remasters, no release sate on prime 4....fuuuuuuck you nintendo!!!
Makes no sense to do that today, mobile chips have advanced a lot since 2015 so they can get a lot more power and still be inexpensive. GameCube and Wii were proprietary IBM chips, Switch is a custom Nvidia Tegra.
@@Eric-nx6cp I've been following Nintendo a long time. Just because they make a lot of weird decisions, doesn't mean they're always going to make the wrong decisions. Since the Wii, they've been "a generation behind" the other hardware. They're not going to release something that's two generations behind. Plus, I see no reason to doubt the reports we've gotten on the new hardware so far, unless all the big gaming publications really got tricked somehow.
they showed zelda and metroid. what are they supposed to do to please you. maybe you just don't like nintendo games. and if that's the case, why watch it
9:58 lmfao
21:03 The realest reaction Andy’s ever had. 🤣
incredible timestamps. thank you.
the reason you had Halo campaign vibes from MP4 is because the art director for Halo 4 and 5 is working on it
Didn’t 343 get people from Retro when they were working on Halo 4? It all comes full circle I guess
@@aoBubsexactly. I think old retro employees yearned for more powerful hardware, and 343 employees yearned for a better dev environment
You mean the worst Halo games?
@@peteparker22you mean the worst halo games for reasons completely unrelated to the art director? Lol
Yeah the visual fidelity for Halo 4 in particular and 5 were really well optimized for the consoles
19:36 "Oh... It's extending, Tim. Tim, it's extending. There's more art. There's two pieces of art." was the laugh I needed today 😂 Andy is a fool.
44:40 reaction from Tim is perfect. That music is top tier and I still have chills on rewatching
Bro really had an orgasm from that sound
BTW Nintendo Direct starts at 3:58
The original Denpa Men was on the 3DS eShop. It was popular enough to get a cult following, which is why it's coming to the Switch.
The disrespect with Fantasian was pretty bad, guys. Maybe Blessing and Andy shouldn't have known, but Tim should've understood the significance of Square Enix publishing a Hironobu Sakaguchi game again after all these years.
Romancing SaGa too. If they only knew how this game really rolled compared to most JRPG of the past and still up to RPGs of today.
Tim always fumbles info lmao
I don't get how ppl haven't understood by now that KF aren't really JRPG sickos outside of mainline FF games and Pokemon (and occasionally a spinoff) XD
It's a mobile game, as soon as people hear that their opinion is already formed
31:19 “it’s lion king 1.5!” andy is one of the funniest ppl on the internet i swear 😭😭😭😭
Princess Peach parasol’d, so that Princess Zelda could rod.
9:20 I understand the joke about Square’s recent financial call, but because this is a port of a previous Apple Arcade-exclusive, I think this is an example supporting that call / against that joke, lol.
32:36 so
Heartwarming lol
(Paused on) 5:26 same bro, same
24:45 lmaoo those comedic beats, and Tim’s laugh 😂
26:42 we taking this bois for a ride.
Play Nine Sols if you're hurting for no Silksong, it's so good but no one's talking about it.
When will people realize silksong isn't real and its just a money laundering front.

I've been neglecting my Switch for so long. Theres so many games i have to catch up on. And this added even more
Ive been waiting for a goddamn Mario & Luigi game on Switch since the NX was rumored. I thought the series died 😭
I once caught Farmagia in Vegas
Dempa men was on the 3ds there were like three of them. It was eShop only
Just happy to be here with KF to have some fun getting hype about games! Always great content.
It took you guys waaaaaaay too long to realise that was a new Zelda game lol
I mean, to be fair, it was literally the first thing Tim said. Before they got caught up in LTTP hype
Fantasian is literally made by the creator of Final Fantasy and y'all were acting like it was some random bargain bin game.
It is
@@basedplants Nope.
When it's exclusively mobile for a while, people expect the worst
I used to love Turok back when I was a kid and got a N64 for Christmas. It is a shame they haven’t tried to do anything with that IP
I thought it said Super Mario Party Jabroni! haha
31:10 Yes it’s a Zelda game thanks for pointing that out for us
Shouldn't read chat when they mentioned the Japanese stream and Capcom collection. Would've been a cooler reaction if they didn't know about that before.
Really? You had to spoil MvC collection? Ugh. They were like, 4 minutes from seeing it for themselves!
That's what I'm saying!! Edit. That was not what I am saying chat really threw them a curveball... seriously Barrett didn't do anything and idk why I realized so late. Egg on my face

You Three Said Let’s F Go After Each Other At 30:32
MAHVEL BABY
24:30 Why would you say that and risk spoiling? orz
Nintendo always does the best when it comes to gameplay mechanics, the gameplay alone is what sells Zelda for me, incredible.
Hyped about metal slug honestly
Many great games coming up! Glad Stray is coming to switch. Now I can play the game with my ginger cat wondering where that meow is coming from.
30:34
Here tellling Andy to play nine sols it scratched my hallow knight itch
As far as best art style in fighting games. You guys are missing out if you haven't seen KOF XIII or GG Strive
X-men 97 changed your perception of Cyclops, you ever read X-Men?
Clearly not.
Those text bubbles on switch games probably look better with Japanese

I would have been so hyped for a Link to the past remake in that art style. But I’ll take the Zelda game anyday!

Not basketball for Switch Sports

you left marvel vs capcom out of the thumbnail???
How will we ever recover from this offense?

This direct felt very HD remake and JRPG focused and i personally loved it
The 3 biggest games announced were not remakes
That Phantom Brave UI looks near identical to Ni No Kuni's.
I hope Prime 4 launches on Switch 2. Don't want switch holding it back.

Not really relevant if it was designed to run in the switch it has already been held back probably just gonna run at a locked 1080 60 on the switch 2
man I am so not the audience Nintendo targets haha
HD remake of DKCR again?? Can't they just give us a new DKC? or a remake of the Original DKC games?!?!
Fr a need a DK64 remake or a sequel to DK 64 it’s been 20+ years and no 3D Donkey Kong game
Do this guys really play videogames? They were almost sleeping on the Dragon Quest trailer...
Not everyone likes a constant train of JRPGs
It's Mahvel babyy!!
bro complaining about the graphics for a switch game. yall need to do better. talking shtt shouldnt be the norm when reaction.
Beyond!
I’ve been waiting so many years for a new 3D Mario and Mariokart >_

It might just be me, but Metroid looks underwhelming, the shooting and graphics look so dated, almost like it came out short after Metroid Prime 3.
That's all I have ever wanted from a Metroid prime game. So I'm getting what I want and can't wait
