Nintendo Direct 9.14.2023 - Nintendo Switch

Never in a million years would I have expected a TTYD remake. Great stuff

Very good to see Mario RPG series getting better treatment, I hope Mario & Luigi is next in line.

Checking the Paper Mario trailer again today just to make sure I wasn’t in a out-of-body experience or something yesterday. Absolutely thrilled that the Mario RPG’s are getting the attention that they so rightfully deserve. 2024 cannot come any sooner

Obviously the Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door remake was the best announcement this Direct for me (it’s deeply meaningful to me for a number of reasons), but the F-Zero 99 announcement and shadow-drop might be my second favorite announcement, glad to see F-Zero is back in a fun and addicting format! More info on the Princess Peach game was also great, and seeing Trace Memory/Another Code get revived as well makes me happy, since I love it whenever Nintendo revives their older, more obscure games. Mario vs. Donkey Kong, Trombone Champ, and Diddy, Funky, and Pauline in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe were also favorites of mine.

For those of y’all that never played the original Paper Mario Thousand Year Door, PLEASE play it. It’s a MASTERPIECE. It’s literally one of the best mario games out there

Whats funny is that Acht translates to 8 in dutch, so its Agent 8 and 8!

Huh. Pretty sure I just heard Sakurai screaming with rage at having to program all of Peach's new moves into the next Smash game XD

I love how trombone champ is presented as the chaotic mess it is. Would be kinda wrong to have perfect footage for those songs.

I’m actually kind of excited that they’re making another game with Peach as the main character! It looks good too!

Nintendo museum sounds really amazing i can only imagine the artwork from different hope to tour it one day.

Direct starts at 29:55
Edit: It was edited.

This direct was so good

Thousand year door was a very nice surprise. Great to see so much support for first party titles and some decent indie titles late in the life of the switch. Would have liked samus over Pauline in mario kart but we can't have it all. Great direct!

This instantly became my favorite Direct because my favorite video game is getting remade. I seriously thought it would never happen. Thousand-Year Door is a masterpiece. Thank you Nintendo!

F-Zero fans, please accept my condolences.

Paper Mario: 1,000 Year Door was one of the best gaming experiences I had as a child. 1,000% stoked to revisit this amazing world.

Yay, F-Zero isn't completely dead!

Please call the next switch the “super switch” to line up with the button colors.

Princess Peach Showtime is giving me Luigi's Mansion vibes, and I love it!
