Switch is Not Done Yet! | Nintendo June 2024 Direct Impressions

I think, with Zelda being the MC of the new Zelda game, having a version of Dark Link being the main villain a la FSA would be really interesting.

[@NintenCity]

That would be fun. Although, looking at the trailer again, it does seem like the Ganon’s spear is the catalyst for the spacial rift things. Wouldn’t be surprised if it just ended up being a messed up version of Ganon. But please bring back Dark Link so I can copy him and make an army ⚔️

Honestly Prime 4 looking this good on a base Switch is a testament to Retro Studios. It looks amazing.

[@NintenCity]

Retro has a great team there, it seems. They know how to work the Switch beautifully!

For explanation, Mochtroids are fake Metroid clones created by the space pirates during Super Metroid (or earlier now, I guess). Sylux having them probably stands as a symbolic reference to him being a mockery of Samus, the true Metroid/Ultimate Warrior.

[@NintenCity]

Ooo, I like that idea. Maybe hiring Sylux is the space pirates’ answer for Samus?

[@SpoilerGoblin]

@@NintenCity Probably. It's implied that Sylux, or at least his suit, was an attempt by the Federation to recreate Samus's armor and abilities that went rogue, so he's definitely a fitting force to counter her.

DQ3 is probably getting remade first not just because of it being chronologically first in a trilogy, but because it was the first one that was truly truly HUGE in Japan at least. also DQ11 is my fave game of all time, play it :D

[@NintenCity]

I see! Didn’t realize that was the case. Even more reason to check it out. There’s a bit of down time for Switch titles until Fall… maybe I should finally play DQ11 in the meantime.

Wait, what??? Nintendo didn't make Wand of Gamelon?? But it's such a high-quality game with spectacular voice acting!!! ...Okay, in all seriousness, I always love your unique way of presenting things! It seems like we're pretty much in agreement on what games are awesome, as I'm looking forward to Ace Attorney, Donkey Kong, Zelda, Mario Party, Mario & Luigi, Hundred Line, and those games that were already announced, but Nintendo needed to remind us of their existence. Also, isn't it insane that we have every Ace Attorney game on the Switch now, except for Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright?

[@NintenCity]

Hard to believe, I know. The more you know! It's great that Ace Attorney is getting new life on the Switch. I hope a new game is coming in the next couple years, but I love that the west is finally getting Japan exclusives.
