sooo, yesterday's nintendo direct was insane, wasn't it???

a LOT of stuff was announced yesteday, and i have so many thoughts in my head that i need to write them down somewhere-
here's what i think about some of the reveals, all in order! (i didnt include all that was annoucned cuz i personally dont really care for other stuff out of the list here, but please remember to not attack me for these or to take them as facts, it's 100% ok if you disagree with me!)
if you havent watched the direct yet, PLEASE go watch it right now, or i might be spoiling some stuff to you :(

mario & luigi: brothership
it's been 10,000 years...well, actually almost a decade, BUT STILL, THE BEST RPG SERIES (after mario + rabbids, try and come for my childhood ( ・∀・)・・・--------☆) IS BACKKKKGLDLHGJDHJH ( ╯°□°)╯ ┻━━┻
I played and completed 3 Mario & Luigi's so far (Superstar Saga, Partners in Time and Paper Jam) and i can say that they were all really good! Can't wait for this revival, the art direction looks so fresh, yet so close to the original, and kevin afghani (the new voice actor for mario and luigi ever since wonder) sounds AMAZING
where is starlow tho?? (;;;*_*)

nintendo switch sports basketball update
i know, i know, everyone said that this game deserves to fall in irrelevance, but to me, if they can add a new sport after 2 years of no updates, they can still make the game great, maybe even more sports or even better an open spocco square zone you can freely roam around in??? that would be cool (；￣Д￣)
after all, honestly switch sports isn't so bad like everyone say it is :(

hello kitty island adventure
i'm not the biggest sanrio fan, and i might not know much about the game itself, but i heard a lot about it on socials before, and so im really glad the game isn't an apple arcade exclusive anymore! it looks cute sooo i might try it ⸜(*ˊᗜˋ*)⸝

among us roles update
i like to play among us again from time to time, and it's nice to see that innersloth is still giving the game updates (and even a tv show too in recent times!) :3
i like the new roles, but omg i am afriad that the phantom role could be so op... Σ(°△°|||)

super mario party jamboree
this one might actually surpass superstars. 110 new minigames, 7 boards (2 returning too!) and many side modes sound literally like the best of both super and superstars! EVEN TOAD, TOADETTE, SPIKE AND NINJI ARE PLAYABLE SO YOOOOO??? (⁄ ⁄>⁄ ▽ ⁄<⁄ ⁄)
i'm probably getting this day 1 (❤ω❤)

zelda echoes of wisdom
not the biggest zelda fan too, i did played wind waker (hd) and tears of the kingdom, but its SO NICE to see nintendo giving zelda the girlboss treatment after peach, as they both shouldd <33
will keep an eye on this one! (ノ*°▽°*)

just dance 2025 edition
ITS ABOUT DAMN TIME THIS WAS ANNOUNCED UGHHHLDRJGRHJHRODJ (lizzo reference not intended)
i feel like the songlist will improve drastically this time compared to jd24, and the previews, taking away the fact that they are 30 secs again (ugh...), look promising! my favourites as for now are calabria 2007 (pandafan and deerstan fanatic ever since the showdown season here lmao) and poker face, but i'll wait until preview season for any other songs that will get in the game! :3 (ALSO YES AND? SHOULD HAVE BEEN A SOLO AND NOT A TRIO ヽ(`⌒´メ)ノ)

stray port to switch
as a cat lover, i have been thinking of trying stray for a ridicolously, i'll emphase it, long LONG time, but coudnt do it because of storage problems (＃＞＜)
i'm really glad it's getting a switch port, i'll 100% give it a spin when i'll get the chance!

(ﾉ>ω<)ﾉ :｡･:*:･ﾟ’★,｡･:*:･ﾟ’☆

overall, i can safely say this direct was an absolute banger, maybe the best we had in a long time? ( ´ ∀ `)ノ～ ♡
im so happy for everything that was announced, but i honestly cant help but still daydream of a new rhythm heaven or tomodachi life getting a remake ;w;
let's hope it happens someday!

for now, signing off ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ
