Oh it's Tears of the Kingdom, I've been pronouncing it Tears of the Kingdom.

[LaveDisco]

Link built a car!?! GOTY

[jonamok]

That’ll do pig. Seen enough. Off for a three-month kip.

[Jamie John]

And that Prime remaster looks great. Buying that later.

[Popo]

Cant get onto the eShop, Nintendo broke the internet with this Direct. 

[DeciderVT]

Looks like I'm taking half of May off work.

Oh and GB, GBC or GBA games being added to Switch online...

Looks like I was on the money. Sadly I was way off with the Advance Wars shadow drop...

[Azrael]

Could have cut that direct down to just: 

 

Pikmin 4

Prime Remastered 

Advance Wars release date

Ghost Trick

Layton

GB/GBA 

Zelda

 

[scottcr]

JUST GIMME ZELDA NOOOOO

[bradigor]

Might need to get a Switch Lite for Prof Layton 

[smac]

Everybody needs to play Ghost Trick, too.

[MidWalian]

Link Nuts and Bolts.

How far can he drive it until it breaks though?

OK, nothing actually going on at the moment to be fair. 

[DeciderVT]

The physical version of Prime had better not be exclusive to the Nintendo UK store.

 

Edit: looks like their site is being absolutely hammered!

[HarMGM]

Metroid Prime Remaster and GB/GBA alongside MK getting more characters was all great.

 

But it is surprising and a good sign to see third parties come up with so many new exclusive titles as well. Level 5 is clearly looking to make a big return.

 

And holy shit, Ghost Trick AND Etrian Oddysey making a return is good to see. Now where's my Ace Attorney 7 Capcom?

[Stoppy2000]

Why couldn't Zelda come out a week earlier - then we'd all have a long weekend for Charlie's coronation. But we'd have Zelda to take our minds off that obscene display. 

[joffocakes]

I wonder if that car is pieced together Nuts & Bolts style and they're just adding layers to the physics playground that made BotW so much fun.

 

Is there more voice acting in this one? From the snippets we've heard I think I'd prefer less of it. I keep thinking they're hinting at playable Zelda (or co-op?) as well.

 

I can't wait to skydive and glide around for 100 hours before attempting to progress the main quest.

[SuperFamiTom]

That was great. Pikmin 4, Advance Wars, Layton, Metroid Prime and Zelda are all day 1 purchases. 

 

I'm off work tomorrow too so I'm gonna play Metroid Prime all day...for the first time...never played it before.

Had Hob's Barrow on and just checked e-shop - nowt yet.

[Stanley]

Prime ain’t there yet folks.

Nintendo were clearly very disrespectful with the title reveal when the Queen died so they don't want to push their luck.

Oh man, enjoy - it's soooooo good. And the soundtrack is just *chef kiss*.

I may also be off work with metroiditus. It came out of nowhere...

Also, Gameboy stuff will be coming to Switch Online for sure, because I just paid good money for the Zelda Oracle games, some Wario Lands, Kirbies galore and Donkey Kong 94 on the 3DS eShop before it closes 🤦🏻‍♂️ 

[ryodi]

The My Nintendo store website has crashed and Zelda hasn’t even been listed on it.

The physics playground tweaked and polished with added story. What is not to like. 

[meatbin]

Zelda was riding a horse right? Out of cut scene perhaps?

Oh man are you in for a fucking good time. It's criminal that edge never gave it a ten.

Looks like Twitter was down for most of it. I love these threads.
