I’ve had the new Kirby preordered for a few months already, so easily my most excited pick. Other than that I’m excited for the new LoZ, Pikmin 4, Splatoon 3 DLC, Advance Wars reboot, Metroid Prime remaster, Baten Kaitos remasters, Etrian Odyssey remasters… an overall amazing direct in my opinion.
Honestly, I’m the most excited for the Splatoon 3 Expansion Pass. The Octo Expansion for Splatoon 2 was THE BEST thing to ever happen to that game. I’m super excited to see what the new campaign brings! I also am pretty excited for the new Zelda game. Looks really fun!
To everyone who has never played it, keep an eye on Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective. One of the funniest and most creative games I played on the DS back when it came out. Criminally underrated.
I highly recommend everyone get Sea of Stars on your radar especially if you were ever a fan of old school JRPGs like Chrono Trigger or if you played the studios previous game The Messenger. It is going to be an absolute banger and I was part of the kickstarter years ago so been watching that one closely.
The Messenger was my 2018 game of the year and is hilarious and amazing in almost every way and I highly recommend you play it as Sea of Stars takes place in the same universe and is kind of a prequel to The Messenger.
Zelda naturally got me hyped, got the collector’s edition and Amiibo on preorder. I don’t think the collector’s edition is worth it, but I would regret not getting it lol. Having Game Boy and Game Boy Advance on Switch now is amazing. The Game Boy was a big part of my childhood. Hopefully they can add some mainline Pokemon games!
