New onion design? Ice pikmin&#8230; cool. Ooh! A pupper pal! Dungeons are back? Overall, it looks like another Pikmin, which is good since we haven&#8217;t had one in 10 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Nintendo Direct 2.8.2023 - Nintendo Switch\" width=\"660\" height=\"371\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/yMdUSVSEp7U?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Xenoblade 3 DLC<\/strong> &#8211; Still just waiting on an announcement of a physical release like they did for Xenoblade 2&#8217;s DLC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Samba De Amigo: Party Central<\/strong> &#8211; Don&#8217;t care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Fashion Dreamer<\/strong> &#8211; Nope, not for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dead Cells: Castlevania Expansion<\/strong> &#8211; I&#8217;m not interested in Dead Cells at all, but I may have to look into this&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>TRON: Identity<\/strong> &#8211; Nah, brah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective<\/strong> &#8211; I heard so many good thing about the original release, may check out this re-release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Deca Police<\/strong> &#8211; In a world where there won&#8217;t so many games, I might give this one some strong consideration. It looks like a pretty cool JRPG, but there&#8217;s just no time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon<\/strong> &#8211; Hey! A Bayonetta game I could actually play? And it&#8217;s got a nice picture-book aesthetic. I&#8217;m interested, but not likely to actually play this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Splatoon 3 Expansion Pass<\/strong> &#8211; I still haven&#8217;t bought Splatoon 3, so&#8230; But it looks like it has a cool new single-player campaign. I look forward to longing for this from time to time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Disney Illusion Island<\/strong> &#8211; Visually beautiful! And it appears to be a multiplayer metroidvania, so I may actually check this one out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Fire Emblem Engage Expansion Pass<\/strong> &#8211; Haven&#8217;t bought this game. Not going to. Not too worried about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Harmony: The Fall of Reverie<\/strong> &#8211; I really like the art, and teh music promises to be great. And it&#8217;s a Don&#8217;tnod game, so<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Octopath Traveler II<\/strong> &#8211; Guaranteed purchase. I&#8217;ve been playing the original again lately and am SO into it. It&#8217;s just a matter of actually finishing that first game&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>We Love Katamari Reroll<\/strong> &#8211; Hell yeah! The best Katamari game, finally re-released! And it sounds like there may be new content added?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sea of Stars<\/strong> &#8211; Like the look, but there&#8217;s a character name Keenathan, and I just can&#8217;t forgive that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Omega Strikers<\/strong> &#8211; Online hero-based air hockey? Really? Ech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Etrian Odyssey Origins Collection<\/strong> &#8211; I&#8217;ve only played one of these three games (the second one), and would really like to check out the other two, but knowing how difficult and time-consuming they are, there no way. Wait, there&#8217;s a difficutly setting now? Hmmm&#8230;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp<\/strong> &#8211; I&#8217;m not gonna lie, I&#8217;d like nothing more than to sink a bunch of time into these. Advance Wars was always good fun. But I just don&#8217;t think I&#8217;m going to be able to make the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Kirby&#8217;s Return to Dreamland Deluxe<\/strong> &#8211; I was going to ignore this, but now they&#8217;re telling me there&#8217;s a whole new campaign mode added? WELP. And also new mini-games I guess, but whatever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Game Boy Online<\/strong> &#8211; FINALLY! The roster is lookin&#8217; SOLID, too! I&#8217;ve been wanting to revisit Super Mario Land 2 lately, and this is a great excuse! The fact that Nintendo actually included Game Boy Color support is genuinely shocking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Game Boy Advance Online<\/strong> &#8211; Okay, Nintendo, thank you. Thank you very much. This is the bestest of surprises!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Metroid Prime Remastered<\/strong> &#8211; LET&#8217;S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! And releases TODAY!?!?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Master Detective Archives: RAIN CODE<\/strong> &#8211; Much as I want to play this, did you miss those last few items? I got no time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Baten Kaitos I &amp; II HD Remaster<\/strong> &#8211; I have both of these for GameCube, but I barely played the first one. I think I&#8217;d just go back to those discs, rather than buy them again. Fun fact: I own the soundtracks and have listened to them a lot!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Fantasy Life i: The Girl who Steals Time<\/strong> &#8211; The original on 3DS always seemed so neat, but I never played it. It honestly seems like a nightmare for completionists like myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Professor Layton and the New World of Steam<\/strong> &#8211; Nothing but a title? I thought Professor Layton was retired?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mario Kart 8 Deluxe DLC<\/strong> &#8211; Still don&#8217;t own this, but it&#8217;s nice to know that I&#8217;d get the DLC for free with NSO if I ever did buy the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sizzle Reel<\/strong> &#8211; Not too interested in anything featured here besides the Mega Man Battle Network Collection. Blanc looks cute, though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom<\/strong> &#8211; This is what I came here for. Looks incredible (obvi), but I&#8217;m not sure about Ganondorf&#8217;s(?) voice. Can you&#8230; can you build vehicles in this game? Because that&#8217;s kinda mind-blowing. More than ever, this is my most anticipated game of 2023.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Uh, so this happened over a week ago.
