I've heard that according to LinkedIn data, several former AlphaDream employees found new employment suspiciously quickly, so people suspect that Nintendo snapped them up to make a new studio (and that said studio is the one making the new Mario & Luigi game). I really hope that's true, and that the spirit of AlphaDream can live on through them.
11:52 I will never get old of Jacob saying "Freddy Fazbear" out of context. That name has rotted my sense of humor to the point that it's become my sleeper agent word.
Having both the Series X and Switch, I’m excited for more games from Microsoft’s presentation (Doom, Dragon Age, Fable, Perfect Dark reboot, that Expedition 33 game). But I genuinely cried when Prime 4 was revealed. I still can’t believe it’s actually real.
Microsoft’s was still better and I say that as a Nintendo fan. This was good with all the heavy-hitters, especially for being so late in the switch’s life, but not as consistent as the Xbox showcase
@@rickygforce4217 It just depends on your taste on the end of the day. Microsoft's Direct fits more with the "action" gamer. I'm more of a niche gamer, so I couldn't care less about Doom, but stuff like Ace Attorney Investigations were completely insane for me.
6:11 the raw excitement he should for this announcement, if he dosent atleast do an alpharad gold Im sueing him for emotional damage because I am now hyped for hello kitty island adventures
i love how people are claiming that prime 4 isn't on switch as if prime remastered wasn't GORGEOUS as well as being 60fps on switch. This is a new game done by the same team that did the remaster. I would've been shocked if it didn't look this good on switch. Also the top left corner on the logo screen tells you it's on Switch, so........
Yeah, Prime 4 engine just kinda looks like a tidied up, smoother iteration on the Prime 1 Remaster. I’d only be convinced of it being next-gen exclusive if it looked like it was using entirely different tech.
Yeah, it doesn't look like next-gen graphics (even though this is one of the BEST looking & running games I've seen on Switch) & even from the start of the trailer it has the Switch logo. I'm hoping it'll be crossgen, I'd love to play Prime 4 with the extra fidelity of the switch successor.
For those unaware, Phantom Brave is a game, now series, developed by Nippon Ichi Software, the guys behind Disgaea. The last actual entry as opposed to just campaign additions was released way back during the PS2 Era. Not even PS4 or PS3. I don't know how early in the PS2's lifespan, but it was pretty early considering this came out shortly after Disgaea 1. As a fan of the Disgaea series, I'm happy to see their other entries get sequels. Still huffing all the copium for a Soul Nomad sequel.
@@maxspecs Nippon Ichi games are the grindfests of grindfests. If anything Phantom Brave is the shorter one, which is why they kept rereleasing the game with added content.
Truth. For an example, for the PSP rerelease of Disgaea 2, it took me over 300 HOURS to get to the real hard grind that is the Land of Carnage. Freaking Pirates....
So glad we got AAI2 for the west finally, I think the first Investigation was weak but the 2nd was my favourite in the entire series before DGS got ported
@@infinityheart_tm9270 no i totally agree with you that it works perfectly for alpharad gold... I was saying its probably not big enough to be on the main channel as part of the "I played so you don't have to" series
horizon is a weird case because theyre definitely solid games but Sony has been treating them like some kinda like landmark franchise for their platform for some reason and pushing it super hard in weird ways. like remember when they put aloy in genshin but you could only get one copy of her if any because they only distributed her once ever and only on ps4
It's one of their best selling franchises. Zero Dawn has sold more than 24 million copies, which is on par with God of War 2018. Forbidden West has sold about 8 million copies as well
The reason you haven't heard of Phantom Brave is bc it was a PS2 game from 2004 made by NIS, the guys who make Disgaea, in the same general genre. I thought that they had just forgotten about it, content w/the occasional port and making new Disgaea games instead. So yeah, it's a sequel to a 20 years old tactics game
I just love at 15:22 Alpharad’s realizing what game this is; like “Oh is this Kirby? Oh wait no that’s just magi koopa-WAIT A MINUTE IS THIS A NEW MARIO PARTY GAME?!?!?”
I’m so glad this was posted! I watched the direct when I got up this morning and as soon as it got to Mario Party, I immediately wanted to see Jacob’s reaction
Not sure if anyone else noticed but the song that plays during most of the Metroid Prime 4 trailer is a remix of the Space Pirate theme from the original Metroid Prime.
Phantom brave had 1 game prior, it was from 2004 and had like 4 different ports (wii, psp, pc, switch) so its a long awaited sequel for the fans of the game And also disgaea fans who have been meaning to try phantom brave cause due to the SRPG NIS games essentially taking place in the same sort of multiverse (though like unrelated story-wise, just in the same multiverse)

The funko game is actually by the new company that the guy who made the lego games created. He actually said it will be like the lego games but for hardcore/older gamers.
i never heard of the hello kitty game before the direct but as soon as i saw it it felt like one of the best games i've ever seen and i wanted it, i feel validated that there were other people who are looking forward to it
It was already peak but fucking Investigations 2 took me out. I've been waiting for 13 YEARS. I've genuinely NEVER been this hype in my entire life ever.

Respect.
As a Metroid fan its so cool to see it reach that level of recognition, even if it was for how long it took to come out

No PC got her as well.
Correction: PS4 got early access to Aloy, the rest of the players got her on the following update patch.
It's still one copy tho.
To me Horizon has always felt like a fake series you'd see in a movie or something
It's one of their best selling franchises. Zero Dawn has sold more than 24 million copies, which is on par with God of War 2018. Forbidden West has sold about 8 million copies as well
my birthday has been fucking tainted by the damn funko pop game
Happy early Funko-Day!
Same brother, same
Unlucky.
The description of the games as just jingling keys fits so well, I literally paused everything I was doing due to pure hype.
I’ve been watching direct reactions all day. I love how everyone went “Conker?” When the 17+ on N64 came up, myself included.
cant wait for the next cast of “I played ____ so you dont have to”
Funk Pop will bring back Alpharad Gold, mark my words
The next rebrand will be Alpharad Pop
17:32 echoes of wisdom definitely should have been called legend of link
Hello kitty goes crazy tho
Literally only know about the game because Big Challenges is in it.
The first thought I had when Funko came up was: "Ohh the content creators are gonna be all over this garbage"
I never thought someone could come up with a less appealing game idea than the Gollum game, but the Funko Pop game managed to do the impossible.
So glad the mario and luigi series is back.
5:32 guys, PLEASE don't tell me I'm the only one who was like "INDIE METROIDVANIA BABYYY"
Actual zelda being a navigation puzzle is such a genius move, amazing
"Your Silksong is real"

missed opportunity tbh
i mean- technically, it's not the FIRST one where you play as zelda
Well now it really is the legend of Zelda.
Alpharad is the only person who I saw get excited over the Hello Kitty game.
its been 8 hours and im still shaking guys we got fucking prime 4 oh my god and mario and luigi it's so back guys

Someone in chat called Sylux "Samuel Hayden". Metroid Prime Hunters is 10 years older than Doom 2016, and Sylux was a playable character in it.
This is a direct that's going to be remembered for years to come.
Donkey Kong Country Returns Returns Returns
(returns from the classic games, returns from the wii, returns from the 3DS)
It feels like he’s re-enacting his first reaction to all these trailers
Hello Kitty Island Adventure unironically looks like a banger
alpharad being the most excited for hello kitty was the highlight of my day
AND FOR THE RECORD I THOUGHT METAL SLUG WAS CONTRA TOO
bro this trailer is full of so many good games that would usually be at the end or put in at random points and then generate so much hype

I like the idea that alpha is going to start collecting every single Funko Pop he can get his hands on
Alpha's reaction to the Funko game is perfection👌
No inazuma eleven or fantasy life news, which were my main points, but I'm still so happy, a Mario and luigi Revival is HUGE!
the speedrun for the zelda game is going to be crazy
Lol, knowing what comes next is great when I see Jacob really impressed with Mario and Luigi announcement
Its baffling how the mario & luigi voices were so well made for the rpg game that I forgot those werent Charles Martinet's voice. This is a lot better
7:03 the new roles are out now on pc I’m guessing
15:27 You can pinpoint the exact moment he makes the youtuber face they recreated for the thumbnail.
When do we tell him that Funko Fusion was announced weeks ago?

After seeing so many FGC guys lose their shit over the Marvel vs. Capcom collection, seeing Alpha's semi-muted reaction is kind of surreal. 😂
The funko game is actually by the new company that the guy who made the lego games created. He actually said it will be like the lego games but for hardcore/older gamers.
When I saw the new Mario Party I immediately thought "Yay! More Mario Party on WILDCARD!"

Can’t wait to watch Jacob play this Mario Luigi game in 10 months on the channel
It was already peak but fucking Investigations 2 took me out. I've been waiting for 13 YEARS. I've genuinely NEVER been this hype in my entire life ever.
You have no idea how unbelievably hyped I am for the dragon quest remakes

Fantasian is actually great. It having a visual upgrade and voice acting is crazy.

Calmest reaction to the announcement
I love how alpharad saluted when he sees lola bunny 😂
I couldn’t watch the stream bc I was at work, so I thank you for posting this!
this direct was shockingly and unexpectedly peak
The Switch's game library is absolutely STACKED. if the next console has backwards compatibility its going to be set up so well for success haha.
It will obviously
this has to be the funniest direct all year
I lost my everything when they announced the Marvel vs CAPCOM collection. I’ve been waiting so long to play those games on home consol
I can't wait for "I played Funko Fusion so you don't have to"
11:38 The best response thus far. I laughed so hard at that one.
