Matt & Liam's Bomb-Ass reactions to the June 2024 Nintendo Direct!

[@MegaDarkness5000]

Nintendo allowed employees from Alpha Dream to come into the main branch of Nintendo instead of buying the company which in my opinion was the smart thing to do.

[@Lightspeeds]

I hope that's the case.

[@BBWahoo]

They would've done it with Rare if they weren't on the other side of the world

[@anthonygerardotorresgonzal6269]

The Director went to Monolith Soft so you are kinda right

[@paulbowen9701]

Is this confirmed? If so, this is just another example on what sets Nintendo apart from the rest.

[@foxymetroid]

Makes sense. Alpha Dream did employ talented people. From what I heard, one of the reasons they went under was the Japanese government fining them over certain policies, including all the crunch time.

[@MegamanElric16]

I'm crying at how the timestamps are labeled

[@eduardoalvarez4457]

we all know why we are here, so they fit so well!

[@pcachu]

I like how the way KZbin handles timestamping implies that Matt and Liam spent over 15 minutes going apes**t about MAHVEL.

[@7Zealot]

It's all we need to know! 😂

[@Shaqazooloo0]

So, the thing with Alpha Dream is that after they shut down a number of them went to Nintendo so it might just be made by the same people just at Nintendo now. Edit: Correction, apparently most went to ILCA and some went to Nintendo/Monolith Soft.

[@RMS_Gigantic]

This would be far from this first time Nintendo has done something like this: NDcube seems to be comprised primarily of former Hudson Soft employees who worked on the Mario Party series before the Konami buyout, and Nintendo basically sat on the Cruis'n IP until Raw Thrills, led by the original creator of the series back at Midway, asked if they could work on a new entry.

[@Honey1essBee]

Nintendo is crazy. They casually just said "here's a new Zelda, new metroid too, by the way marvel is back. And you can play perfect dark anywhere now." It's wild to be living in these times

[@atmylimitrgggh]

“Oh, and here’s an Ace Attorney game that’s been waiting for a US localization for several years. And have a Mario and Luigi game which everyone thought was impossible.”

[@RichardHannay]

lol! I also thought Eiji Aonuma IS lookin hot

[@lizardman464]

That Looney Tune's basketball game you two were trying to think of is Looney Tunes B-Ball, used to absolutely love that game as a kid.

[@StarWolf5298]

See I thought they meant the Tiny Toons Sports game on Genesis. That one was my jam back in the day.

[@phoenixlich]

Very smart to repurpose the Links Awakening remake engine AND the prime 1 remaster engine to get these new games made!

[@3rdWorldGamer]

I'm 100% sure they saw this engine for prime 4 and said "let's make a prime 1 remaster with this to test the waters"

[@phoenixlich]

@@3rdWorldGamer yo, could be. also, there is a LONG history of Zelda games reusing engines/assets to make new games. Majora's mask, Tears of kingdom, Oracles of Seasons/Ages, the 3ds games using wind waker assets, etc.

[@hosvet_animation]

@@3rdWorldGamer That lines up considering the gap between Prime 1 release and Prime 4's release announcement was like 6 months.

[@squiddu]

​@@3rdWorldGamer I mean, good for them, remastered looks amazing for a Switch game, and 4 might even look a little better

[@joelikespotatoes8321]

Isn't it the same engine as the gamecube one?

Link threw his Hylian Hood on the floor behind the sealed area. Then Zelda have it later. So cute

"Not a style we've seen before." Those models are used in the Giant battles in Dream Team, sure not the main models used in the 3ds games but they were used.

[@lukebytes5366]

That style is also from the cover art

[@toddacious07]

Are we all just going to ignore the fact that Matt was like, “Eiji Aonuma looks hot af”…?

[@AurigaLaShock]

I'm just glad I wasn't the only one thinking that

[@FirstRecords204]

not much to respond with when a person is correct

No lies there. The man is a silver fox daddy.

[@shotgun6X]

[@Exlayer-pk8hy]

Now the only Ace attorney missing is the Professor Layton crossover game. I hope they do that at some point.

[@dancefroggodance]

With the new Layton game coming out in the next year or two it would be perfect timing if they ported it soon!

[@pokechatter]

After biting off more than they could chew by announcing too many titles last year, Level 5 seems a little busy at the moment.

WILD seeing Fantasian being published by Square-Enix. Sakaguchi has come full circle. it makes one wonder how deep the partnership will go.

[@d3v1lsummoner]

I know there's been 'Aloy is an industry plant' discourse recently, but genuinely if Sony wants her in Smash Bros., having a Horizon Zero Dawn on Nintendo is not a bad foot in the door.

[@frosty6845]

How can a fictional video game character be an “industry plant” that completely misunderstands the term

[@potatomongrel]

omg the chicken echo will be so OP in that new legend of zelda game.

[@chaosspork]

You joke, but I enjoyed The Last Story. It was a really fun time.

I wasn't joking. I actually love it. One of my favorite RPGs of all time. Would kill for a remaster.

[@pcachu]

Side note: that Metal Slug thing is a port of a mobile tower defense game (which in turn was the sequel to a previous Metal-Slug-branded mobile tower defense game) that was released back in 2016 and shut down just last year.

[@silgon8705]

You guys have my favorite react videos because you have this amazing knowledge about the game industry that makes me give things a deeper look. I kind of glossed over Fantasia DX, but now that I know the world was made with minis I'm actually kind of interested! Also Liam I will never forget you calling out Live a Live before the title drop

[@KremBotop]

One of the random reveals that took me by surprise was the Looney Tunes sports game. I don't recall that series getting any console games after the PS2 generation so that's pretty neat. Also, glad that both Retro Studios DKC games will soon be available on the Switch.

[@Mojaveknight17]

Mvc is Back!

[@Stratelier]

Yeah, you guys KNOW Max completely broke halfway through this Direct. Couldn't hear anything else over the sound of the MVC collection.

Already preordered a physical copy and look forward to having the entire franchise (sans the Layton Crossover) on one platform.

Breath of the wild was announced for the Wii U and ended up being a cross gen game with the switch I suspect metroid prime 4 will be the same

Love seeing Liam join your videos, Matt! Unfortunately, one of the mics was really noticeably being bounced around. I don't usually comment on stuff like this, but it's really present and goes on for a long time, it's rough on the ears. Noticed it start around the Dragon Quest remake announcement, and end around Mario Party. Hope it can be fixed!

The chronological lore order of the first Dragon Quest games is 3-1-2. For Metal Gear it's IIRC... MGS5-Metal Gear 1-MGS1-MGS2-MGS3-MGS4 *Metal Gear 2 is non-canon. **edit: I forgot where Peace Walker sets in

[@DrakeDarkHunter]

I think you've confused Metal Gear 2 with Snake's Revenge. Because Metal Gear 2 is extremely canon.

[@robotnick9867]

Chronological Metal Gear is MGS3, portable ops, Peace Walker, MGSV, MG1, MG2, MGS1, MGS2, MGS4, Rising Of course half the prequels are filler and the gameplay goes back and forth so it's never really advised to be played chronologically anyway. Release order is much more simple to digest

[@spongebobfan78]

21:22 Speaking about Japan NSO, Turok isn't included there. 32:07 Not just that, it's the fact that it's a game by a AAA publisher having a game on the Wii AND the Switch released AT THE SAME TIME.
