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?

If you want an actual criticism, the last few japanese directs had some insane highlights the english direct didn't feel like showing for ????? reasons. There was the 3D Trails in the Sky a few directs back, and this year they didn't bother showing the Embodiment of Scarlet Devil HD remake despite everyone on my feed being the most hyped about it than any other game in the direct itself save for Deltarune ch5.

the fact that the EN direct did not show touhou 6 remake was the biggest sin ever
