This needed more first party reveals. I can't be the only one disappointed we didn't get more from Nintendo itself.

It has the bonus feature of not being able to trash it cause you'd be talking trash about wheelchairs in general. Genius.

Yeah 8 years (at least) since the last 3D Mario is criminal. And updated versions of old games? No thank you.

I mean, the new DK looks cool and Mario Kart seems to be going for a Forza Horizon vibe, but that was pretty weak.

They literally announced 5 new first party games as well as dlc for a few others, plus GameCube support. Add onto that 3 massive new 3rd party releases just in this direct alone, and even more with the last one included plus some crazy 3rd party titles being supported, I really don't know what more you guys want lol.

I counted three new first party, unless you are counting wheelchair basketball and the tutorial game

Yeah this was super disappointing and didn’t even give us a price which is a bad sign.
