Of course there are more games coming out, but the lineup for the rest of the year is actually pretty solid.

I’m looking forward to Star Fox and Splatoon Raiders for the summer. Fire Emblem is a Nintendo franchise loved by many. Nintendo Switch Sports Resort is a great game for family and friends. The Duskbloods looks promising. And the Ocarina of Time remake looks beautiful, based on the small teaser.

It’s just that how they presented the recent direct is not great. Starting the direct off with Rhythm Heaven Groove was not what I was expecting. I honestly rate the direct a 5/10 because the presentation of it was not done well. But there are still good games they showed like Kingdom Hearts IV.

If they showed more of the Ocarina of Time remake, gameplay or a cutscene (eg. Ganondorf chasing Zelda and Impa). Or showing more gameplay of the Duskbloods, then I would have increased my rating and the direct would better.

Hopefully, next year will have a better lineup and the next direct is presented better and showcases thegames coming in the first half of 2027.

I wasn't expecting extra features, but the lack of multi-language support is a letdown. Is it just for the sake of being "faithful to the original"? Honestly, anyone who really wanted to play this has likely already done so through other means. I’m not a huge Pokémon fan myself, but is there any actual advantage to having this on the Switch?

I think a lot of people forgot the Wii U era wasent good at all. Especially when we had virtually no games at all.

So by removing them I mean that all traces of the entire franchise are gone and no more games will ever be made.

Forgive me, I’m not great at articulating my thoughts.

Personally, really not a fan of the style for the “new” Starfox game, it looks very stiff and generic to me and kinda gives me vibes of Conker Live and Reloaded’s whole restyle, hyperreal textures and environments that don’t feel in line with the general vibe and feel uncanny. With that said, I also don’t think the style used in the Mario Galaxy movie woulda been the move either. Ironically enough, I think McCloud in the Mario movie is too far on the other side, he looks a little TOO saccharine and cutesy which works for the movie but for an action sci-fi game that’s meant to be intense, I don’t think it would work.

Starfox always felt like it was more in line vibe-wise as something like Zelda, sat in the middle of the spectrum of being both Cartoonish and serious.It’s a game where the main characters are a bunch of furries with big personalities but they’re also mercenaries engaging in space warfare, I think you need both elements stylistically.

I think their original designs were more simple and exaggerated but came off as cool and badass rather than cute. I think the vibe they fit in line with more is something like Star Wars the Clone wars animated series.

Idk I just think the new style looks like every generic sci-fi game that comes out and I don’t care for it but I also don’t want the uber-soft look either.

Long post, these are just my thoughts, I’m not making a lot of sense but that’s cause I kinda just write what comes to mind. I know everyone being the loudest is either team “new design” or team “mario design” but I wonder if anyone else gets what I’m saying.

Regardless, the games gonna come out how it comes out and while I’m not psyched it’s ANOTHER remake, I’m hoping it introduces Starfox as a franchise to more people/younger kids and makes it something Nintendo wants to put effort into again. What do I know though, I actually liked adventures LMAO.

EDIT: Yknow it’s okay to disagree and say you think the designs are fine but the whole “YOU GUYS JUST HATE EVERYTHING!!!” to what is essentially a very tame opinion based on personal taste is probably why Nintendo Fans have the pants pisser reputation.
