With this morning's Nintendo Direct we have a clear picture of what the Nintendo Switch has going on for the first half of 2024. Looking at what announced games are left, recent rumors and reports of whats going on with Nintendo's next system, whether that's a Switch 2 or not, and figuring out what that means for the remainder of this year points to a 2024 that will be slower than most other year's for the system's library, thought not quite a bad one. Here's my thoughts on this morning's Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase and what we have to look ahead for Nintendo this year.

  • It might seem like an easy cash grab to do remasters or re-releases of old games, but I'm actually happy that so many old games are making their way to modern systems.
  • @MrMartellSincere
    I love Nintendo and their innovation and creativity for their games
  • People said the samething last year too We just need to be patient

    Pepper Grinder is my most anticipated game ever since dunkey's video back in 2017 showing a preview demo he played back then. I played the new demo today and it controls like a dream. So hyped to play it. There's more indies coming to Switch I'm excited about vs AAA games. I'm still on the look out for The Haunted Chocolatier but don't expect it for another year; likely on the next Nintendo console. It's from the same developers as Stardew Valley and it's set in a mountain town with a chocolate industry. The trails from a while back looks awesome.

    I hope we get more limited edition Switch Lite’s in the coming few years!!
  • @bitduelist
    I was really hoping Dragon Quest 3 HD2D would get a release date but Another Crab's Treasure looks awesome, like a Disney souls-like
  • @exzisd
    The SMT re-release struck me more like DLC. They could have made it a bit more clear. Maybe I missed it but I thought it was just an add-on and not more of an Ultimate complete edition. Anyways I'll definitely be checking that out since I skipped the last SMT game on Switch amidst the hustle & bustle of the time it came out. I've heard great things about it and loved SMT4 on 3DS.

    The Japanese direct had Mother 3 announced for NSO GameBoy which is a big mic drop
  • @hungryhippo10
    I still only have a v1 switch I got in 2017 and kept holding off of getting an oled cause i kept thinking the succesor would be announced soon. But, it never does. I am excited for epic mickey though.

    5:13 Huh? This holiday is great for the next console. It will gain hype since it's been awhile since the switch released and unboxing a brand new console would probably be more exciting around Christmas rather than after New Years. Can't wait!
  • @IamPotion
    I think the biggest hype for me is the old battlefront games. I already preordered. Those who haven’t played it, it has features like conquest, massive multiplayer matches, space battles, some maps even need strategic aspects. Honestly it is the true Star Wars experience in my eyes, playing as jedis,siths, different kinds of clones and droids. It makes me so happy it’s on the switch!!
  • @jasonsmith530
    My favorite games are 1st party Nintendo, like MK8 deluxe, but these games look just as fantastic
  • @Maccagx
    Were hifi rush did they forget haha
  • @OSIRIZ91
    Not a terrible direct, some games definitely looking forward to, definitely sucks mother 3 isn’t getting an English translation up still definitely some good ones, happy gaming everyone
  • @Mister_Yorch
    So crazy that I mentioned I still have my PS2 with my og copy of Battlefront 2 on your IG reel the other day, and a port of it gets announced today. My cousin immediately messaged me and we are preordering it ASAP! 😂😂😂
  • @baldybald100
    I just want to play windwaker on switch since I never had a GameCube or Wii U :(
  • Pentimint seems like a great switch game since it looks like reading a visual novel almost lol
