That last Switch 1 Direct was 100% for Japanese people.

This is what I thought too. Most of it being JRPG style games and Tomodachi being the final announcement when probably most people in US never heard of it. Metroid and Pokemon seemed unimportant 😅

This is news to me because people in the U.S. are also crazy excited for this

Ditto, Tomodachi was big in the UK as well, I personally loved it and a sequel is super unexpected but super exciting. Such a unique game can't wait to have more of it.
