Well, this should have been predictable. Final Fantasy in Smash Bros.

Cloud, huh?

I do have to say... I'm quite disappointed about the lack of Zelda footage. And since TP is coming out so late, that means Zelda U is even further out.

That's incredibly stupid. It should have been Terra!

Not a bad Direct. No Iwata tribute, sadly, but he will live on in our hearts. I will have Pokemon Picross and Xenoblade on Day 1. Maybe I'll get a second job so I can afford Fire Emblem, too. :P (I will wait until it's cheaper to get all three and then get it.)

When I really stop and think about it I'd have preferred some FF VI characters instead but I guess Cloud is the face of Final Fantasy.

Just feels a bit odd that they went to the Sony game and not a Nintendo game.

Pokemon Picross is VERY tempting. Dang, talk about something I never considered but now sounds like a great idea. Kinda bummed that it's free-to-play or whatever, I'd rather just buy it outright.

DAMNNNNNNN DRAGON QUEST VII / VIII FINALLY.

...is VII one of the good ones?
I'm excited about the DQ ports! Very cool that we're getting them. That said, I hear somewhat mixed things about DQ7. Mostly that it's EXTREMELY long--like over 100 hours just to finish. I'll get it though, I've been wanting to play through all the games in the series and this is a perfect way to get 7.

8 is great. One of the best in the series.

Hear hear!

I always thought Mog or Black Mage would be perfect FF reps. But I guess Cloud's the face of the franchise for some reason. Whoa, looking above my post, Zero just said the same thing.

Cloud's fine. Obviously a gut reaction to a staged trailer (which was really well done and full of fanservice) but he doesn't seem all that unique a fighter, another swordy...

My thoughts exactly. That was a cool surprise that makes total sense in retrospect.

Did Twilight Princess HD look.... that good? My stream was janked but I sure didn't see nothin' special.

99% of what was shown were games we already knew about either through leaks or Japanese games that weren't announced for the West. But I was pretty happy with what we got. And then there's Pokemon Picross which I'm sure to love.

I'm super happy they are finally bringing Dragon Quest 7 & 8 here. Twilight Princess is my favorite 3D Zelda, so the HD version looks good. And they finally revealed the details of Fire Emblem Fates.

Would rather have seen someone from a game that's actually been available on a Nintendo system, and preferably something less overrated, but they do seem to have done a good job with Cloud's inclusion, so I guess I won't moan too much about it.

Wow, this Direct completely surpassed my expectations. Very impressive Nintendo.

No Picross 3D 2 though. Boo.

@TriforceBun

I would also prefer to just buy it, but I figure I have no problem giving them the $30 I'd have happily paid regardless of the method.

@WrathOfSamus777

After the Pokemon Picross announcement I figured we wouldn't see Picross 3D 2 this year. I with they mentioned it at least.

@r_hjort

Eh, feel free to moan here. You're probably in similar company. Cloud is a pretty meh choice to me, he barely makes more sense than Snake did and his moveset looks way less interesting. I'll pass on him.

Yeah, maybe next year. I can't imagine they wouldn't bring it over. All the other Picross games have come over.

I think Twilight Princess looks great, definitely going to play!

Gah I wish they'd just port Metroid Prime, it would look SO good in HD. Maybe for NX.

True, I just hope it doesn't cost much more than that to get all the content!

The Midgar stage looked incredible! I really wasn't expecting Cloud to make an appearance in the Super Smash Brothers series, but here we are. I've never played Final Fantasy VII, so some of the appeal is lost on me. I'm happy for those who are really excited about this announcement.

Speaking of VII, I'm super stoked that Dragon Quest VII is finally coming over! I love the designs of the main characters and I've been wanting to jump back into the Dragon Quest series for a while now.

I have heard that the 3DS version of DQ VII cleaned up the game some to make it less tedious and lengthy, so it might be better now. I don't know the specifics of what that means however, but we'll probably get some more details on that once the English version hits.
