Nintendo Direct 4/1/15 Thoughts

Oh its just Mewtwo… Wha!? Theres more Smash Content!?

Is it wrong for me to want to watch the Pokemon movie right now?

April’s Nintendo direct was truly “no joke” (Okay yeah its not original but it still is a good joke) It started out strong with the newest smash trailer showing off Mewtwo. While its not a huge surprise but his new moves and final smash were spectacular nonetheless. The biggest surprise was the hidden character and content that came out of nowhere, Lucas and some fun new costumes.

Amiibos, Amiibos, Amiibos!

IT'S SO FLUFFY!!!!

After it was pretty standard, heres some Amiibos most people wont be able to get. I wont lie, I do like the Amiibo demo system, its totally random and is open to Forest Gump jokes but its a neat idea to show the old games kids missed out on. After they showed off Yoshi’s wooly world and the most adorable Amiibos ever. Splatoon looks cool and of course they got Amiibos for the game. Next were two things have been long overdue. N64 and DS Virtual Console on Wii U. I’ve heard that DS games were on the Wii U in Japan and finally we can play them too. I’m actually impressed how some games change the layout of touch screen, but my favorite thing is playing games on the gamepad.

Please watch these sizzle reels and please understand!

Yup just standard sizzle reel stuff, move along.

The middle was kinda week, while they had some cool indies, puzzle and dragons, attack on titan. Mii Plaza Updates, It was more of a sizzle reel and no new info. Even though Fatal Frame announcement was great, it was already leaked.

RPG’s for days!

The new Fire Emblem is soooo beautiful!

It’s end was its strongest, they started showing off their great RPG’s like Fire Emblem, Xenoblade Chronicles, the Fire Emblem/ Shin Megami Tensei crossover. Just in case you forgot about Mario Kart 8 they dropped the DLC bomb and the new content will breathe new life into the game especially the insane 200c mode.

While there hasn’t been too much announced for the fall, there will be a bunch more games to play for the summer and amiibos to collect. I’m especially looking forward to Xenoblade, Mario Kart 8, Puzzles & Dragons, and the new Smash Bros. content. The 4/1/15 Nintendo Direct started stong and finished strong.
