New Games! Asmongold Reacts to Nintendo Direct 2023

[@EdwardLewisIV]

"Nintendo continues to be Nintendo. Thank God." Truer words have never been said.

[@toshtao1]

Yeah they're not making movie games like Playstation.

[@NewWave3313]

Seeing Asmon genuinely light up in happiness seeing Super Mario RPG put a smile on my face. This was my childhood game as well. Great memories.

[@Foxaris]

Yes that seems like the most interesting game of these. That and the star ocean 2 remake as that's the best game in the series.

[@Zephhi]

@@FoxarisSO2 remake looks insanely good. Better than any other HD-2D game I’ve seen besides Live a Live

[@jasonxe]

Same. I still replay it along with ff7 and ff9. I thought it was going to be a simple port but an entire remake 🥳🥳🥳

[@gregbrown8881]

I loved SMRPG back in the day. I didn't know anyone else who had even heard of it, so I always thought it was this hidden gem that I was just lucky to own.

[@Awakened2001]

Star Ocean 2 was one of the best RPGs on the original playstation. So much depth to the game with the hidden side characters. The combat was unique and ahead of its time.

I am very happy with the Mario titles and Pikmin. Super Mario Bros Wonder looked lit. It tries something different, but is still at it's core a Mario Bros game. The music was just so good, it was calm relaxing, but still fitting. I am also thankful that the music is not just the old themes remixed.

I'm actually super hyped for Dragon Quest Monsters. I played DWM2 on GameBoy back in the day, and loved it enough to revisit it multiple times since. I even created an interactive spreadsheet to calculate breeding outputs based on parents' traits and stats. Incidentally, I don't remember this franchise as being copied from Pokemon - I feel like I remember them releasing super close together.

[@NersulNSL]

That was a good direct for Mario fans, after years

[@gundamzeta3447]

Not a single bad announcement why is Nintendo the only one who can accomplish this? Some of the games don't peak my interest but that doesn't mean that they are bad but there's plenty I'm excited about too. It seems that most announcements from other companies just feel you up with disappointment or you are really skeptical but this genuinely put a smile on my face.

[@Cheshipuss]

Asmon's desire for a dark fantasy pokemon would essentially be the original pokemon with Red. The shit starts off with a charmander nearly having its throat torn out, and pokemon guts spilling all over the place as they visit a pokemon graveyard.

[@WambwneD]

"we are 100% playing mario rpg" like you were gonna play zelda lol.

[@SpaceCowboy37]

We all know asmon can’t even finish a Mario game come on now 😂

[@Koppu1doragon]

Silent Hope. A game built around the idea that no one speaks. Aside from a single character that can talk to you and will probably know what you're doing no matter how far away you are.

[@RaptorAtLaw]

Dragon Quest Monsters was originally called Dragon Warrior Monsters in the US when it released for Gameboy. It's got something of a cult following in the US for people who enjoy monster tamer games, particularly because the monster breeding/combination system is different from a lot of other games in that some of the coolest and strongest monsters you can only get by figuring out the right series of combinations through trial and error (slime + dragon = dragon slime + bird = wyvern + frost dragon = divine dragon + devil = evil dragon lord + phoenix = fallen angel, that kinda thing). Super happy they brought a new one to the US.

[@RSVikingJohn]

25:17 Although there won't be any F-zero games in the near future there is a new upcoming game called Aero GPX. Strongly recommend everyone who is waiting for an F-zero title to check it out. Played the demo, and the controls feel very similar to F-zero X.

[@flaminghead1va]

the BEST reaction was @5:43 "WTF?" up until 6:05. I think that was the most genuinely surprised I've ever seen Asmon react to a gameplay trailer. at any rate, that was the funniest reaction I've seen by him IN A WHILE. :D

[@Citizen_JQP]

Bit of a bummer there's no Odyssey sequel or other new 3D Mario. They're probably developing it on the new console at this point. Wonder looks pretty interesting though, reminds me of SMB2 because of the alternate dimension thing.

[@sirsquid577]

The first monster capturing game was actually megami tensei(the main series of the persona series for those who don't know). But both Digimon and Dragon Quest's monster design predate Pokemon is if anyone is going be taking inspiration from the other game it's pokemon from those previous one's lol

[@CuppaGi]

Everyone comparing the new Dragon Quest Monsters game as a Pokemon clone really makes me sad. Dragon Quest Monsters was before Pokemon. Its somewhat debatable whether or not game freak based Pokemon somewhat on the concepts of Dragon Quest Monsters, along with Ultraman and the concept of catching bugs.

[@ninja4955]

Where did you get your information from? Dragon Quest Monsters came out in 1998, Pokémon came out in 1996. So technically it was made as a response to the popularity of Pokémon. With all that being said, Dragon Quest V had you recruiting monsters as party members and that came out in 1992. However, Megami Tensei came out in 1987, so it's the first one with Monster Recruitment that I know of.

[@Drizzle52693]

Nintendo is one of the few big developers that still gives you exactly what you pay for

[@Losttael]

Hey so about eggman, the name eggman is his original Japanese name while the US came up with robotnik, to sort of blend the names together starting in Sonic adventure 1 it's heavily implied that Sonic calls him eggman as an insult since eggman did refer to himself as robotnik in adventure 1, it's actually cannon that he goes by the alias Doctor eggman as a sort of way to embrace Sonic's insult so its not an insult anymore to him lol

Interestingly enough, it seems they omitted Legend of the Seven Stars out of the title. Here's hoping that the remake is just the beginning and we get a brand new title in the future. My bet is that the old game is remade on Switch and a new game will eventually be announced for whatever console is after Switch.

[@lyrand6408]

Really happy, genuinely. But I do wonder now if we'll ever get any announcement for Star Fox. I think they should at least remaster SF64 if anything, it would be fantastic on the Switch. But I would prefer a brand new game, maybe a full reboot why not. Just... something, I miss that franchise. The 'on rail' shooter game is a dying genre.

[@docc19]

They already remastered Starfox 64 back on the 3ds. We technically got one of the best Starfox games with Starlink (the switch version).
