BAD 8&9#

Okay so I have not gotten extremely worse but what has been going on has come to a front and it's a cold. So I'm doing a two-for-one today on the blog. The blog is mostly going to consist of Nintendo Direct stuff. I really like today's Direct, it had a lot that I'm excited about.

First- This news was so unexpected I wouldn't have even thought of it. Rune Factory 4 is getting a remaster release on Nintendo switch. I love Rune Factory 4, I still have it on my 3DS and when I get in the mood to play it I still do to this day. I am so happy. By later in this year I'll be able to play it on switch and while it makes me sad that my 3DS yet becomes more obsolete it still makes me happy I'm going to have the game. They also announced that Rune Factory 5 is in development. This is also fantastic news, I really thought we were not going to see another Rune Factory game. I was so happy by this news alone that I couldn't have cared past this point what else was announced.

Second- We received announcements for a for a few Final Fantasy titles. Final Fantasy 9 is going to be available on switch today and the other two titles Final Fantasy 7 and the Chocobo Mystery Dungeon game will be out in March. I'm actually really excited about the Mystery Dungeon game, it looks like a lot of fun when they showed it off in the last Direct so I will probably be picking it up for sure.

Third- We received news about Dragon Quest 11 the Switch Edition and Dragon Quest Builders 2. Even though I have already played Dragon Quest 11 you can bet I'm going to be playing the switch version. Not only is there a new like graphical choice of play but there is also going to be new story additions. So you can bet I'm going to be playing that game come release. I'm also very excited for Dragon Quest Builders 2. I've played the original in even though I haven't finished it just yet I really enjoyed what I played. It combined Minecraft with Dragon Quest and while some would think that's a weird combo it actually worked really well.

With that I think I'll in end this blog here. It's kind of sad that the 3DS didn't have any news whatsoever but I imagine this is the year they're going to start slowing down. They're going to focus on the switch and that's not a bad thing of course. The 3DS  had a pretty good life, I really enjoyed mine and as long as it still runs I'll still play on it occasionally.

So how was the direct for you? Good, Okay, Bad?  

Hope yall are doing well!

I'm pinging off the walls after seeing all the stuff coming from the Direct on the Switch news page. I just bought Final Fantasy IX again even though I already have it on PC and PS4 and I got the DLC for Captain Toad. 

I will be buying DQ XI again when it comes out in fall and probably a lot of the other stuff that was announced too.

I just looked through the announcements, and I think I'm most excited for the Link's Awakening remake. Always heard high praise for the Game Boy version.

I really like how it looks, a lot of people arent digging the style its in. I have it on 3DS but havent played through it. Im thinking now Ill wait on the remake.

I did too! I already started my #100 playthrough that Ill hopefully finish for once. I beat this game once in my life, can I reach 2 or am I doomed to fail!

I was satisfied with the direct. It announced a lot of good stuff.

It's good to see older games get remade and available on Switch. That's always a selling point for me with a system.

I think its a good thing as well, it gives new life to an older title and it brings new players in. I imagine RE2 did the same thing with its remake.

I reviewed Rune Factory 4 back in the day.  I hope I have enough time for the Switch version.  We'll have to see.

There are a lot of things I'm excited for in that Direct.  Mario Maker 2 and ESPECIALLY Link's Awakening, as that is my number one favorite Zelda game.  I'm a little disappointed we didn't get anything about Luigi's Mansion 3 or Animal Crossing, though.

I kinda figured, Im gonna go on a limb and say they are saving that for E3. We might of course get 1 more direct before then but I think AC and LM are gonna be apart of that and be Fall releases. 

I still play RF4 on 3DS so Im for sure getting it on Switch. Im also excited to hear more about RF5.

Twitter told me about the Direct and I kinda  like the Zelda game. I've never been into the Zelda games, but that one looked fun. I also downloaded Tetris 99 and some Robot game. That robot game might be a demo

I imagine twitter was crazy, I know I retweeted quite a bit on my end of the direct. I have the demo for the robot title too but Ive been played FF9 whenever Im on my Switch so I havent tried it yet.
