I remember Bakugan, but I've never watched it, so I know nothing about it.
From what I've been seeing online, even fans are disappointed at the announcement because the game is apparently based on a recent reboot rather than the original show.

Time to prepare for 10 minutes of disappointment about stuff that we already know about!
. . . And possibly more video game adaptions of merchandise driven toys with anime adaption reboots?
Unless this is going to the start of mini announcements leading to more mini announcements over the coming days/weeks it's difficult to have any hype for this whatsoever.
One thing I'll say about the lack of games this year, could it actually increase the chances of the Famicom Detective 1&2 remake to get localized?

Let's see... I'm totally getting the season pass for Cadence of Hyrule. I love it, and I still go back to it every now and then. I knew there would be more DLC on the way (the game's own credits kinda leaked some of it after the last update), but this is even better than I expected.
Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne - HD Remaster and Shin Megami Tensei V are both coming in 2021. I'm not sure if I'm interested in these, but the HD Remaster of Nocturne is a pretty cool surprise. Time to prepare for 10 minutes of disappointment about stuff that we already know about! . . . Unless this is going to the start of mini announcements leading to more mini announcements over the coming days/weeks it's difficult to have any hype for this whatsoever. Personally, even though it was short, I'm not disappointed. And it does sound like there will be more frequent Partner Showcases later this year. |

The Japanese one showed completely different stuff. Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin is finally getting release deails, the new Momotaro Dentetsu is finally getting a colid release date (19 Nov), and Atelier Ryza 2 got officially unveiled, even though it was leaked before. We still have Cadence of Hyrule and the SMT announcements, though.
And the 10-minute presentation ended up being more than 12 minutes long. Not particularly impressive, but still pretty good.

Here it is: Not too much to say...
A Short Hike seemed fun and relaxing. I'll look into that one.
Torchlight III is coming to Switch. I've played the original Torchlight on PC, but I never finished it because it got repetitive.
That's about it, really. |

Everyone is going so hard on the animated trailers in that.
Heard good things about a short hike, followed the development on twitter. Think it was recommended by Bennett Foddy as well. The dev also did a good talk about playtesting at GDC (I think)
Manifold garden reminds me a bit of the weird puzzle/walking sim NaissanceE. Bear and Breakfast looks cute. I'm a real sucker for the monochrome 8bit styles of some of the honorable mentions at the end as well.

A new Nintendo Direct Mini: Partner Showcase was shadow dropped. Not much to say... Collection of SaGa was a surprise. I don't expect to get it, but it's cool that they made it. |

That rumored Mario Direct turned out to be real.

That came out of nowhere, and good to see the rumors were true (3D All Stars) but with a whole of lot stuff that wasn't mentioned.
The G&W was unexpected, might buy it depending on the cost/functions. While a Mario Battle Royal for NSO is interesting but the limited timeness of it (and 3D All Stars release) is a bit weird. Could it be just for demand or could it be to have "end" and then start up for a Zelda 35th stuff next year?
AR RC Mario Kart looks cool, who needs Mario Kart 9 when you can try to replicate N64 Royal Raceway in your living room? Now how do I build a giant launch ramp over a fake lake indoors?
Imagine the warnings that will have to be included on the box.
- Do not drive kart down staircase in an attempt to recreate N64 Bowser's Castle
- Kart is not waterproof, do not attempt submersion
- It's also not lavaproof, don't try that either, Lakitu is not here to help you
- Kart cannot deploy a glider, just like Buzz Lightyear this toy does not actually fly
- Racing in the middle of a pride parade is still not a safe way to recreate any of Rainbow Road tracks in real life
- Snaking in real life will not increase speed
- Driving at a wall at the right angle will not cause you to "hop" over it, it will cause you parents to "hop" over and reduce your allowance for wall dent damage repairs
- Pets should not be considered "track hazards"
- Your Dad's foot is not a Thwomp, any Kart flattening will not be undone

Unlike the last couple of presentations, this one will be live streamed.
Even if Nintendo isn't doing general Directs for themselves, I like that they still recognize how much exposure they give to their third-parties and indie devs.

(Japanese presentation)
Two Monster Hunter games, Ori and the Will of Wisps, Disgaea 6, and we're finally getting a look at Rune Factory 5. These presentations are getting better and better.

Lots of Monster Hunter. I've never played a game in that series before. I might want to try one, but I already can't keep up with the other games I want to play. Speaking of which, Rune Factory 5 looks good, but I still haven't tried RF4 yet.  Also, it seems that amiibo are, in fact, still a thing. EDIT: I don't remember if it's been mentioned here or not, but Balan Wonderworld is actually a new game by Yuji Naka, with characters designed by Naoto Ohshima. So, yeah, the two creators of Sonic the Hedgehog have made a new game together for the first time since the '90s. |
