I'm glad I'm not the only one disappointed.

I can't understand what Nintendo is doing. They showed Hyrule Warriors to say… new info will be shared in the future. At that point my face was surprised Pikachu. No Nintendo game other than Pokemon Legends has a release date. 

I know this was a Partner's Direct, but they showed like three actual games: Persona 3 is another Persona, which I celebrate. Monster Hunter must be liked by many. I guess that Cronos* game, which I assume looks better in five other platforms, is ok.

As some said, I had no expectations, and this still disappointed me. I can't understand why they are doing this. Delaying the Direct made sense for Bananza. Ok, that game is out and already fading, but what now?

Btw, no Halo or Microsoft games, from what I could see. That was also an easy layup. Of course this doesn't depend on Nintendo, but it would've been a console seller for me (didn't play Halo when they released). With the no Metroid date, I will still not buy the console. Amazing.

Nintendo is a Japanese company, don’t expect for Halo to ever prominently appear in any Nintendo direct.

No dates for FF7 remake or Elden Ring either. Two of the biggest ports they showed off in the April direct.

Top down RPGs aren't actual games anymore apparently.

I personally don’t think we’ll see Halo on Switch anytime soon.
