Nintendo Direct Thread (Do NOT post here unless one is announced)

All I want to see is a new Mario game that isn't a sports or party game get announced. I am getting Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope, but I want something to look foward to beyond that.
Figures
 
I'm excited for the Return to Dreamland remake, since I never played the Wii version. I also liked that Mario Party and Pokemon Stadium were coming to NSO, and that Pauline is in Strikers. But other then that, there wasn't much. I never finished Pikmin 3 on Wii U, and the only Pikmin game I played through in full was Hey! Pikmin on 3DS. So I'm not looking forward to Pikmin 4.
 
i spent most of the direct doing this again

yeah i thought it was p good (EDIT: It was just ok actually) but also none of it interested me directly. i expected a new mario and it wasnt there huh

highlights:
- i joked about the new fire emblem dude whos all red and blue colored: "imagine iff the game detected what joycon you had somehow and then colored accordingly it would be very funny"
- fist of the north star game was funny
- so squids! what did you think!
- lmao they didnt even mention rayman in the mario rabbids stuff. the ui looks more boring than in the prev game what is this featureless void everyone is on
- goldeneye and other n64 stuff is p cool never played it but i bet people are excited
- people ran really weird and funny in that squenix game they just basically floated through the air whereas the walking animiation is normal
- ib is pretty cool. cut to a completely different voice with strikers. also finally diddy
- "the final summer begins You silly its september!"
- "merry moutani from mario akrt tour ITs lal from mario kart tour"
- miyamoto fades in, talks about absolutely heckinf nothing for several minutes, and then drops pikmin 4
- bayonetter has THREE lesbians? They all look gay
- tuned out the moment i heard danganronpa
- "[dark serious voice] the nintendco swtich as a cloud version............"
- kirpy has an interesting new artstyle and dedede looks like a scrimblo bimblo
- cool event for zelda fans
conclusion: no donkey kong 0/10

edit: conclusion two "i tihnk the only things were there were jrpg farming games and pikmin bloom for several minutes"

I thought the Direct was OK. There were some good announcements like Pikmin 4 and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom finally getting a name and date reveal, but admittedly not much here interested me personally. I was surprised to see a Mario Kart Wave 3 trailer so soon, even if it only revealed two courses (Peach Gardens is pretty exciting). I am kind of disappointed that we didn't see a new Mario game, though, since we haven't had a completely new one announced since February. This year has been quite light on Mario content.
