[@boo1_gaming927]

In between each chapter, you get a glimpse of Peach and Bowser's perspective. And yes, Peach does talk to the computer during all of her segments. It's a little spoiler, but it's an almost 20 year old game at this point.

[@stevenburks9063]

I can see how Peach's part might be forgettable since there's no fighting, but I'll never forget when Peach had to figure out how to sneak around undetected 🫨😶 arguably my favorite part as a kid cause I was laughing the whole way 🤣

[@RojoProX]

It must have been a while since you’ve played ttyd because that Peach segment at the end is part of the original. You play as peach at the end of every chapter to see what she’s up to.

[@waitingmars]

[@NinjaxShadowXx]

nah he is just a fake nintendo gamer he just buys the games as a collector for youtube content but like knows nothing about actual games like most real nintendo gamers. If you hear him at 11:28 he says he thought it was a new Paper Mario because we already have 2 for the Switch... um no we only have one Paper Mario game called Origami King.

[@MagiaErebea028]

Thousand year door is not only my favorite paper Mario game. It is my favorite Mario game ever.

[@gbach919]

I dont know how you played TTYD but don't remember TEC!!!! Great character in the game and made the peach portions of the game a little more interesting than they were in pm64

[@kwesmo17]

Yeah, that bit was a little odd "It's my favourite paper mario but I do not remember one of the characters that have a very impactful part on the story"

[@gbach919]

@kwesmo17 I wanna give him the benefit of the doubt and say he forgot due the fact that it came out 20 years ago, but yea idk. Would love to see em play through it though if he decides to on stream

[@LelouchRika]

Once again, my favorite directs are the one people hate. I'm insanely hyped for a new Vanillaware game, they're one of the most underrated developer ever. I'm also super excited to give Another Code and TTYD a try since I never played them before.

[@lukes.854]

A lot of people see a jrpg or any game with an anime artstyle and immediately write it off it's sad

​@@jossebrodeur6033yuup it was cool to play as her but it was not all that. Bowswr sektions was way more memorable😊😊😅

[@samwhite4961]

I’m kind of in the same boat. The “it came out 20 years ago people forget” it’s like the core of the story that’s like saying I love FF7 but it came out so long ago I forgot who sephiroth is or I love mortal kombat but it came out so long ago I forgot there was kicking in it

[@jossebrodeur6033]

@@samwhite4961 It's a major part of the story, but it's also not the most interesting part of it either. The Peach sections are relatively boring compared to the Bowser and Mario sections of the game. It's less forgetting Sephiroth is in FF7 and more like forgetting a boss fight that was just there.

[@samwhite4961]

@@jossebrodeur6033 I exaggerated but I think that’s still downplaying it. You revisit peach after every chapter and it’s hugely important to the story. Maybe it’s not like forgetting Sephiroth but it’s more than forgetting a boss fight. Maybe like forgetting a party member. It’s still strange after somebody says they love the game

[@daviddamasceno6063]

Tomb Raider was the highlight of the presentation for me. Can't wait to replay those games!

[@WhatzDuhDill]

Being able to jump between old graphics and revamped on the fly is huge. I was blown away by that with the master chief collection and love it.

[@Memoirsofdreams]

I as screaming my head off with joy when they announced Another Code. The first one is in my top 3 most favorite game of all time. I live in the states so I never got a chance to play the sequel and that had always bothered me. I feel it's one of those games that not a lot of people played but for those who did love it. I played the first so many times on my DS I lost count. I thought it will be one of those games lost to times, but to see it getting a remake makes me so happy. I want that game in my hands now! I am also looking forward to Spy x Anya, but I am a fan of the series. It looks like a cute and cozy game. Something to play to unwind from a busy day. I was also happy with the announcement of Paper Mario, but would of liked it more if it bundled with a remake of the first Paper Mario. I know you can play the first one with Nintendo Online but you can to with Link's Awakening and that got a remake. Over all I enjoyed the direct.

[@danbooke2001]

I never played either of the games, but I preordered the physical on Best Buy as soon as it came up. Super hyped to play it, and I have a feeling this game will have an extremely limited print run and end up being extremely rare as well.

[@Memoirsofdreams]

The first one was so good! The puzzles are challenging but fun, the music is hauntingly beautiful and the to me the most important thing is the story and characters are amazing! I have a feeling you are right about the print run. I am holding off for now just in case like weeks before release they announce like a collector edition. I know I have a better chance getting hit with lighting, but still. @@danbooke2001

INSANELY excited about TTYD, I've played Paper Mario and TTYD on their original consoles, and BOY do I LOVE TTYD!

[@diabeticman2194]

I thought this was a solid Direct overall, especially if you're a Mario fan. Princess Peach Showtime and PM TTYD especially looked great, and for me, F-Zero 99, Another Code and the SpyxFamily game were my other highlights. Not a 10/10 for me, but a solid 7/10 (or a B grade)

[@DangerouslyStupidGamer]

Traditionally 7/10 is a C

Honestly, chat saying ''this was the Best / a Great Direct'' would only be gaslighting themselves.

[@EtherealCatGames]

I'm really excited to see Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. I have only played the Super Paper Mario game that was on the Wii and I really liked it. I liked it so much that I remember looking around for The Thousand Year Door only to find out that I couldn't seem to find it anywhere (at least on systems that I played). I have heard a lot of good things about The Thousand-Year Door and I am so ready to check that out! I'm also kinda excited about Super Mario Rpg, but not as much honestly. I'm just not sure it's something I'd really like, but I'll probably give it a try or watch someone play it to see what it's like

[@WhatzDuhDill]

Honestly, I'm the most happy about fzero 99 lol Gives me childhood vibes of playing with my family, lots of fun so far!

[@kurtg5405]

I am also happy to see that they've given Peach her a unique style of game, like they did with Luigi and the Mansion series, rather than a reskinned SMB.

I am a nintendo fan and a father of a 7 year-old girl and she fell in love with all the mario games coming up and I loved seeing her so excited about games. I was hoping for some Zelda ports coming to switch. Still a win for Mario fans tho! not all games cater to all demographics.

Yeah, and as a guy who used to play a lot of Mario games, I'm actually indicted to play one again, there was a little bit here for everyone you at least will leave the same you might play 1 or 2 games if it's 1 or 2 I could understand someone being like yo. U, this is mid, but if you're really gonna sit here and play 4 or 5 games on this list. It's not mid, it's good. It did its job, you're gonna buy the game.

[@JadoDog]

I enjoyed it. Ive been waiting on news of Eiyuden forever. Princess Peach looks good, TTYD is super exciting and if it does well along with Super Mario RPG, could possibly lead to a resurgence of good mario rpgs. F-ZERO 99 looks like a blast. Its not the "best direct we've ever had", but i enjoyed it

[@aaronalquiza9680]

12:40 that part with Peach and the AI are in the original. I've recently watched Game Grumps' playthrough of Gamecube PM:TYD and it's there.

[@argylega]

That Contra re-imagining by WayForward looked really good as well.

[@Matt23488]

The peach segments were in the original game. They happened between every chapter, which is probably why you don't remember them. They are really short compared to how much time you spend playing as Mario.

[@wolfme4030]

3:16 Love Spy x Family. Read some of the manga and watched the first episode. Hopefully Tatsuya Endo will learn to love his creation in the same way as the manga/anime community love it.

[@angelant96]

The direct was cute. I don’t personally care about most of the games but it was cute in general. I’d say Nintendo doesn’t have more major, impactful games because they’re focusing on the next console

[@firefly7980]

The AI computer was definitely in the original ‘The Thousand Year Door’. I can’t believe you have forgotten to be honest?! It looks as though there isn’t much extra in the game. However it is still an amazing game and I really want everyone to buy it and love it and tell the world because you never know, Nintendo may go back to making the Paper Mario games in the same vein again. Which would be the best possible thing to happen to the franchise.

[@Flareboxx]

Nintendo actually puts out a mid/bad direct (with the exception of Paper Mario) and Wood is super nice about it despite being so mean to the great directs we've gotten in the past 😂

[@timdrake4951]

He has never been mean about it. He has said it wasn’t for him and some people got all hurt. He doesn’t have to like everything, I look forward to when he doesn’t care what people say 😂 then maybe we will get mean Wood.

[@Flareboxx]

@@timdrake4951I mean.. For years Wood basically cared about nothing else except the BOTW sequel when these directs would come around. I would specifically watch his reactions because of the great games announced, and he would act like the amazing surprises were crap because they weren't Zelda. And then he would bash it online. Then even after TOTK came out, he literally started the last Direct video pretending like he was barfing and called everyone piss ants 😂The direct today had ONE good reveal, and I was excited to FINALLY agree with Wood tearing the direct apart, yet he was super kind this time. He's still a nice guy in general, it's not like he's a bad guy for disagreeing with me for most of these Directs or anything.

[@DemonaruMusic]

13:00 I can 100% promise you I remember the scenes where Princess Peach gradually teaches the computer what love means. That's not new.

[@TJOEL20]

They could announce a new entry into every major franchise and give Wood a new car and he would still say it’s a “mid” direct. I question if this dude is even a Nintendo fan

[@toypop96]

Can’t keep viewers engaged unless you’re complaining incessantly.

[@doctorg5056]

Wood, "I did a poll and 50% said it was mid [as if that means anything] and therefore it must be a fact that it was mid" isn't the best way of analysing subjective stuff. Especially since we all know they could have shadowdropped Breath of the Wild 3 and 50% would still say "worst Direct ever - where was Bubsy 3D port?"

[@delphoxhoopa7289]

Mario fans are eating good this year! 😋 🍽️

[@Trazynn]

The thing with Tomb Raider is that its levels are basically build using something like a minecraft editor (with added diagonals). You're playing inside a grid of building blocks, that's how they got the maps to be so large on a 1994 MS DOS pc. That also means they can't do a whole lot with any remaster without also changing the way the game plays and feels. So for anyone who wants to play the original Tomb Raider, this is as good as it gets.

[@jes141]

11:34 I thought we only had one paper Mario game for the switch which was origami king? Also, the part of the trailer with Peach and the robot that wants her to teach it about love isn’t a new addition. That was in the original game on the GameCube. Also also, why are you giving Luigi’s Mansion 2 a hard time for just being Luigi’s Mansion 2 on Switch when Thousand Year Door is just Thousand Year Door on Switch?

[@ninjasteph9561]

I enjoyed it overall-there were some fun looking games to give a shot. There were plenty I’d like to play, but none I’m moving to the very top of my “to be played” pile. I knew there wasn’t likely going to be anything Zelda (amiibos don’t count in my book) and I’m always happier when there is, but I liked the direct overall. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’m realizing I’m pretty happy when I don’t listen to all the direct predictions before a direct-can’t be disappointed with no expectations. 😂

Another code was really exciting to me! And not buying Paper Mario for the gamecube was one of my biggest regrets, until now! So if the f zero game was completely new it would have been pretty great

[@Felodontis]

I actually rather liked it myself. Another Code looked cool, the Princess Peach game looked way better than I expected it to, and it was nice to see some more ports/remasters announced that I thought were a bit overdue (Luigi's Mansion 2 and TTYD). My favourite bit was the Tomb Raider trilogy announcement; I struggle with the keyboard controls on PC, so having a console version to take on the go with all the DLC and optional remastered visuals? Yes please. Also F-Zero 99 was not something I expected, but it looks absolutely hilarious. I do wish we'd seen something about Metroid Prime 4 or Professor Layton, especially if we're nearing the end of the Switch's life cycle, but other than that I thought it was a good direct.

[@LandonAndCassy]

12:35, that's just a scene from the actual game. The robot falls in love with Peach. It's in the same segments that also brought us the Peach shower scene. Weird game.
