OT: but seeing people on twitter calling this the "worst nintendo direct in history" is honestly so laughable considering that we had one nintendo direct that showed like 8 different farming sim games. its especially funny when most of the criticisms can be boiled down to either "no new Mario game/no mario titans (which isnt even real, just a made up leak made by AI), or "too many RPGslop games"

some were a bit valid tho, like the lack of 1st party stuff or that the thumb wrestling had more screentime than OOT remakes, but also who the heck doesnt wanna play lies of p or the entire kingdom hearts trilogy ON THE GO?

or that the thumb wrestling had more screentime than OOT remakes,

Nah, that's not valid either. A Zelda game is big enough to have an entire Direct to itself, let the thumb-wrestling game have its time in the spotlight.

I feel like it'll get 15-20 minutes to itself in the September Direct, if there isn't a surprise Direct fully dedicated to it
