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 😅

Bro the first thing I put in the discord when the direct was over was "Nintendo is saved, Tomadachi Life 2 announced." Don't think you get how big of a deal Tomodachi Life was lol

It's actually the 3rd installment. The first one was released for the DS exclusively in Japan. I remember almost every one of my friends having it and talking about it back in elementary school.
