We get a 40 minute Nintendo Direct today!
Besides Link's Awakening, Luigi 3, and new Pokemon, what are you guys hoping to see?
As always, my answer will be "Metroid Prime Trilogy HD for Switch"
I would also like Wonderful 101 port, Super Mario 3D World port, Pikmin Trilogy HD for Switch (Yes, I know, a lot of ports)
In terms of new content, I would like to see an update to Super Mario Maker 2 and hopefully it's Super Mario 2 textures and enemies.

That Direct was a scene, man.
In the Wii U years, getting a port of the biggest FPS in gaming would have been a megaton.
In the Switch years, that announcement has trouble getting recognized between JRPG remasters.
(I called it on the TMS port. It made more and more sense as Switch became a bigger success. You don't put that much effort into an exclusive RPG to leave it as a Wii U-only game.)

Pour one out for Wonderful 101 and Xenoblade X.
I'm not denying that was a packed Direct, but if I wasn't already interested in a Switch, I don't think that Direct would have done much to persuade me.
Personally, I'm already interested in Link's Awakening and Luigi's Mansion 3. That said, Xenoblade remaster is a very nice surprise. I always thought it was a shame to leave the three Rainfall games on Wii, those games can be beautiful if put on better hardware. Here's hoping for a Pandora's Tower remaster.
Doom 64 is great too. Weird how it's releasing on the same day as Eternal though.

Steve2 is still hoping for a Xenoblade X port to the Switch. He saw how much fun I had with it and how much I loved it, but he never got to play it. He's excited for the TMS port.
I'll be getting the Witcher 3 port. So, I have several games for Fall to get: Astral Chain, Link's Awakening, Witcher 3, Luigi's Mansion 3, and new Pokemon. That will keep me busy for a good long while.

I'm sure they'll get the obvious remaster treatment at some point. But Atlas has a habit of doing some sort of ultimate version of their games, so that's why I kinda expected TMS to get it, too.
(And if Atlus plays their cards right, this could be a series of its own, imo.)
Oh I agree there, but not every Direct can bring the megatons. I think part of the strategy with Directs is to keep people who already own a Switch engaged. There's a lot of content out there to grab our attention across the board, y'know? You gotta get people to buy your system, but you also gotta keep them playing.
Pandora's Tower in HD would be sweet, but even with the Switch bringing out eclectic non-AAA releases, I don't think the audience is there for it. "Castlevania, but Shadow of the Colossus, but also Japanese dating sim" is a pretty narrow target.

Such a good movie! I definitely never saw that Twist coming.
We ended up watching "Ma", which was okay. Wait for it to come to streaming before watching it if you want to see it.
We watched "Aquaman" this weekend, and I was very impressed with this. They made Aquaman cool. I've not been a fan of the DC extended universe, but they did a great job with Wonder Woman and Aquaman.
