So, new Nintendo Direct.  I’m actually pretty happy with this one.  There were some announcements that really surprised me and that I’m excited for, like the new Paper Mario for WiiU, and SNES games coming to New 3DS, and some announcements that I’m really surprised were missing, like info on the new Zelda and Pokemon GO.

Overall 7.9/10 for the Direct, though it’s told me that Nintendo doesn’t have a lot of faith in the upcoming Metroid Prime Federation Forces game, or at the very least that I have less faith in it than I did before.

I think what upsets me the most about Mario Maker isn’t that it’s been done before in many ways on many platforms, but that it’s all that Nintendo’s doing for Mario’s 30th anniversary and we could have had a compilation of classics like Sunshine and Galaxy remastered, or a new Mario game altogether.  Just imagine a 3D Mario platformer with the graphical engine of Mario Kart 8!
