This Nintendo direct was so enjoyable to watch. I am excited to see you try out these new games when it comes out!

[@WhatifJulia]

Agreed!!

[@themiIes]

This is not Donkey Kong Country though. It's a completely different game. But the SNES one is hella fun. Big recommend

[@WhatifJulia]

Wasn't it a combo of the DKC and the one they put on the 3DS or something of the sort combined? And yeah I've heard so many great things about the OG!!

[@7Link7]

​@@WhatifJulia Naw, Donkey Kong Country Returns, and Tropical Freeze were both originally Wii games. Donkey Kong Country 1-3 were the OG SNES games. This is like a Definitive HD Collection of Returns for the Switch (especially with the DS LVLs included). I'll say it again; Best. Direct. *Ever* . - Glad you enjoyed, Jules - here's to hoping maybe someday you might get into the Mario/Luigi Series👀👀👀

@WhatifJulia
So, Metroid Prime 4 has been in development for so long because about 2 or 3 years into development, Nintendo fired the studio making the game because they didn't like the direction it was taking. They then re-hired the original studio that made the first 3 Prime Games (and its spin-offs, I believe), Retro Studios. They then had Retro completely redesign, rewrite, and reboot the development from scratch. So while this game was announced 7 years ago, it has really only, technically, been in development for about the last 4 - 5 years. Still a long time, but AAA Games these days tend to have about a 5 year development cycle.

Dude its such a big brain Zelda game - puzzles become the main focus with combat and action supporting compared to the reverse with Link's style of play WOOHOO September 26th

[@WillyRosado]

Nice job

[@RyansChannel0203]

Clickbait title. No offense, but the overall direct was mid at best.
Metroid Prime 4 and Zelda look amazing though. And Mario Party and Mario and Luigi look super promising.

[@disgaealikerasapOG]

It was an amazing direct if you like nintendo.
If you didn't like it you're probably not the target audience.

[@RyansChannel0203]

Well funny for you, I love Nintendo and found the direct mostly disappointing. All the games I just listed were the only highlights for me.
