I literally come here after each Nintendo direct just to see your reaction. You never disappoint

[@RogersBase]

LET'S GOOOOO

[@hanslubbers9459]

Same thing here!

[@unskilledgamer3642]

same. He's the kinda guy who always tries to see the positives in every announcement and is hyped about almost anything. And that's way better than people who are dissappointed by everything.

[@Rpedota90]

@@RogersBasemaybe one day we can react together. That’s the dream

[@chaselaney6229]

[@RachelXKnight666]

This definitely felt like an E3 direct. Especially with the fact that we had two presenters. That and the fact we got a whole lot of Pokémon. Rip to me saying we wouldn’t get any Pokémon because they save that for Pokémon presents lol

[@rotciv557]

Yep, count me in on the "there's not gonna be any Pokémon stuff because Pokémon Directs exist" crowd. Big N made me eat shit today.

[@madelynnjohnson8231]

Bruh my bf watched it and said it was “mid for an E3-esque direct”. I was like how even????

[@rotciv557]

Madelynn Johnson the only stuff I was truly interested in personally was the Pikmin stuff, but I still objectively believe it was an excellent Direct.

[@SeraidenAF]

@@madelynnjohnson8231 I'd be questioning my SO if they said something like that. Like how could they so confidently be that wrong?

[@madelynnjohnson8231]

@@SeraidenAF I saw a reaction from someone else and they and their chat were like “eh” too! I was like “if yall go into directs thinking its gonna be nonstop bangers, even if you have no specific expectations, and u complain about every announcement but the 2 u care about, that just shows you expect everything to appeal to u???” like ik that not everyone likes farm sims, esp considering the direct that had like fifty, but there’s no need to complain about the literal TWO this direct had that had previews yhat barely lasted a min 🤦‍♀️ Like, even if streamers or youtubers do that stuff for a bit, I think it’s annoying. It’s y I appreciate Roger’s reactions. He seems genuinely respectful about every game, acknowledging that ‘hey this may not be for me, but congrats to those excited for it’. At the end of the day, directs and announcement livestreams are supposed to be fun. They dont need to be taken so seriously.

[@PaulGaleNetwork]

Now THAT was a Nintendo Direct. 6+ year old system releasing titles like it's year freakin' one, @RogersBase!

[@RogersBase]

It's MIND BLOWING!

[@PaulGaleNetwork]

@@RogersBase absolutely! I don’t think since 2002 (and that was Japan only), we got a mainline Mario, Zelda, and Metroid in one year. Technically, MP Remastered isn’t brand new…but to many it is! (You could say this matches 2017 with Breath of the Wild, Odyssey, and Samus Returns).

This was a great direct to me. I got so hyped for Super Mario RPG and Super Mario Bros. Wonder. Star ocean looks awesome as well. And we’re getting a new peach game? HELL YES!

[@luisquintero7359]

This has to be one of the greatest Nintendo Directs I’ve seen in a long time, and I never thought that Super Mario RPG would even get remade and of course, I’m getting it for the holidays right next to Super Mario Bros. Wonder!

49:50 If you've wanted to play a Star Ocean game, this is by far the best in the series. It was originally released on Playstation, so the sprites are from that version. It also has over a dozen characters to join your party. Great game, you'd probably like the story too.

[@stayalivefriend]

Watching Roger live during a great Nintendo Direct is the best

[@JennaRiddle]

Hey Roger, how’s it going my friend?! I love all of the new games and content coming to the Switch! I’m totally feeling as excited as you are for all these new games and content Roger! I really loved your reaction you did today! I also did my reaction along with you as well! Thank you so very much for hanging out to watching this awesome Nintendo Direct along with me today Roger! I had such a great time today! This was an awesome live stream by the way! You’re the very best my friend Roger! 🤗

[@lukejohnston3117]

This is what I want out of a Nintendo Direct! Brand new game announcements that send everyone into a frenzy, rather than updates on already existing ones. That was my main gripe with the Nintendo games during the previous direct, so I'm glad they made up for it here! A Mario RPG remake, a new WarioWare game, a new 2D Mario, a new PEACH game... I don't care if most of the new announcements were Mario games, I'm so excited!

[@schaefer76]

This was a ... Metal Gear *SOLID* direct! I'm looking forward to the Super Mario Bros Wonder and the MGS collection!

[@RogersBase]

THIS WAS SOLID INDEED!

[@costanzo6770]

Hahaha "Mammoth Boy Mario!?!?!" caught me off guard just now, funny as

[@zetashadowdragon]

Great Nintendo Direct! Super Mario RPG and Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince were my favorite announcements. Star Ocean The Second Stroy R, The Sparks of Hope DLC, and the Persona 5 Tactica games look good as well. Interesting that there's a new Peach game. I wonder what the gameplay is like. I haven't played a Pikmin game yet, so it's convenient that all the games are on the Switch.

[@LunarWingCloud]

You know Roger is a real fan when a fan beloved game is getting a remake reveal and he starts humming the song as its remix is playing during the trailer

[@patricklatham3897]

Star Ocean has been a Square Property for a while. The original team that made Star Ocean were the same guys that started the Tales Franchise and were done over by their bosses. Since Tales was taken from them, they started Star Ocean. But they honestly peaked with Star Ocean 2. There are also some noncombat systems that really flesh out the overworld experience. There is crafting, abilities and leveling up abilities. As an example, there are healing items like blackberries that don't pack that much punch. But if you put your points into the herbology skill, those plant items will actually pack more punch the farther along you advance that skill. Some skills have a much greater degree of success if you have the right "talents". Party characters can have a variety of talents that can determine certain skills, like cooking, art that you can sell for lots of money, and more. Key example: there are certain skills that allow the lead player character to steal from npcs. But in order to even succeed with that action, you need the Nimble Fingers talent from the start(talents are randomly assigned from the start of the game or the intro of a new party member FOR said member). Otherwise, that particular ability is useless. Finally, you can also level up your combat techniques. Levelling them up makes the animations flashier and the potency greater. And you can get new abilities by working on available ones, too.

[@Big-Image]

I see you guys at the September Direct!

I didn't know anything about the rumors going around about this, so at the very beginning I presumed we were just getting it ported to the virtual console. I have never been happier to be wrong. This is the greatest thing Nintendo has done since releasing The Switch. Not only is it a huge W for Mario RPG fans, but Square Enix being involved bodes well for the future of Nintendo. Incredible. Nintendo delivered!

[@alexoborne5419]

Just checking in to see if Roger is ok. I guess I’ll just have to watch and see

Super Mario RPG and Star Ocean 2 both getting REMAKES on the same month this year have crushed my wallet, I cannot believe it! Not to mention, Daisy in a MAINLINE Mario game for the first time in like 33 years, this fall is going to be packed.

[@kileyjohnthemedic402]

Tears of the Kingdom making new amiibos...we know what this hopefully means. It means this world FINALLY gets what we need but don't deserve: amiibos of the new sages. Meaning official amiibo of Sidon 😍

[@Dylan_Platt]

Star Ocean: Second Story is far and away the best in its series, the remake looks incredible and I highly recommend you play it. So glad you popped off for Mario RPG as much as I did. Goddamn, I'm pumped.

[@felldoh9271]

Really great Direct, and RogersBase I am so glad to hear you’re a Xenosaga fan! Episode I is my favorite game ever and in addition to a trilogy remaster I think the industry would be robbed without a continuation of the series (the PS2 trilogy we got is only 1/3 of the planned story) and same goes for Xenogears (a remake using the same engine as the upcoming Star Ocean 2 remake and a modern remake like FFVII remake)! KOS-MOS for Smash one day it will happen.

[@invisibleBDK]

So pumped for Star Ocean 2... FINALLY! It's the game that got me into RPGs back in the 90s so I have a lot of nostalgia and love for it. The franchise itself was rather up and down, but Roger, if you ever do play a Star Ocean game, 2 is definitely the best one even without the new remake goodness.

Honestly, I've never been a big 2D Mario fan, but it made me so happy to see Super Mario Bros Wonder get announced. I was actually sad that I thought theyd be done with 2D Mario after Mario Maker 2.

[@EbefrenRevo]

Is quite clear that Metroid Prime 4 is a next Nintendo console game, maybe even a launch title.

[@thecanadianfood]

The fact that you have to ask to see Lickitung is the problem with modern Pokemon. It used to be a given that every Pokemon would be in every game, and now you have to hope for your favorite Pokemon. This is why I haven't bought any Pokemon games on Switch except for New Pokemon Snap.
