At least this one was a YT video I could skip through to see the games I was interested in. Sure wish these would also come with just a list of the announced games, though.

I'm seeing people say NSO+ in Japan got Mother 3 on the GBA app. So if true we technically have a release we can play now (in Japanese, through the Japanese app).

Multiple Microsoft properties in the showcase this time. That's neat.

- Still excited for Tales of Kenzera
-Pentiment on Switch!? What?!

This was one of my favourite games on the 3DS so I am delighted and extra glad it's out now!

If we assume this is the last Switch only direct them I think it's fitting that Switch Directs began with an SMTV tease and ended with one as well. Truly a cornerstone of Switch history. I'm trying to remember if World of Goo was in an early direct so I could make the same comparison...

Wow, Wrecking Crew 98. Didn’t expect that.

couldnt even get a twenty second clip of R-Type without horrendous slowdown in it, eh?

Based on the number of performance improvement patches out there for these games, the culprit for most part seems to be "publishers cheaped out at the last minute and made a game intended for fast ROM be sold as a slow ROM cartridge."

I remember an episode of Video World where Madstu talked about how all the fast, difficult shooty and platformy games of the NES era mostly ended up on the Genesis instead of the NES's successor, and he's right. That was one area where Genesis sure did what Nintendidn't.

And now with the recent news about Silksong's listing appearing it's no longer a meme to hope for it's appearance!

GIMME SILKSONG.

Also, maybe news on the Risk of Rain 2 DLC? Probably not, that's not exactly the optimal version of the game... but it might be the best-selling? I don't know.
