#NintendoDirect #Zelda #Metroid - Hry
I honestly didn’t expect such a good Direct this late for Switch. It’s just been so quiet from Nintendo for a while now.
9:54 "I said more than 5" 😂 oh Felix, they got you.
zion reacting to felix' reaction to mario party is so sweet lol
Felix so pure joyful, it brings the kid in me lol.
Such a cool addition to the team
Y’all gotta see Arlo’s reaction to Metroid Prime 4. It is hilarious.
Switch - the console on which you play Metroid as a Metroid and Zelda as Zelda.
And Mario as Mario, and donkey kong as donkey kong, and pikmin as pikmin…
@@witherwraithmc you literally nevr played legend of zelda to make this comment
Not the first time Zelda is playable.
Phantom Hourglass.....
@@WhatIsMatter101 The game where Tetra is turned to stone the whole time?
I think you mean Spirit Tracks, and still. Outside of certain parts you don't really play as Phantom Zelda, and only as Zelda in her real body in the final boss.
The Zelda Switch Lite is how Nintendo will beat the PS2 record.
Also how they’re going to get rid of a BUNCH of overstocks, by just swapping a switch lite shell and printing new boxes, before the next Switch system launches.
Zion: freaks out over a game no one has heard of (Live A Live)
Also Zion: ....oh it's Mario and luigi
When I saw the Mario Party announcement, I could hear the faintest Danish scream all the way in the states
I like seeing Felix so young again without the mustache 🤣
Echoes of Wisdom is Nintendo's idea of minecraft mechanics, laying things (materials) down/summoning interactive in-world elements
This will go down in history as the best Nintendo Direct of the Swtch’s lifespan…
3:56 “I-I need Silksong.”😂😂😂
If they could release a Zelda amiibo to match the Link’s Awakening Link one I would be so happy 🙏🏻😭
A Tunic amiibo as well.
This has to be my favorite reaction video to the direct so far out of the 10+ videos I've seen. It's so wholesome 😂
I wasn’t excited for Mario party, but after seeing Felix so hyped I’m hyped too 😂
WE NOW CALL THE GAMES THE LEGEND OF LINK AFTER PLAYING AS ZELDA
Don't forget about that CD-i game
WHY ARE WE YELLING? It’s not that funny or clever relax
And it's not remotely accurate too if you're being serious (which I know some are), since it's still the primary story revolving around Zelda, her royal family, her castle, her land and herself. that's why these enemies are attacking in every Zelda game ever, they don't attack or try to capture Link, they don't form their army's for Links sake, they do it because of Zelda's Legacy, her legend and her royal history. It'll always be that way through and through no matter if one is playing as Link, Zelda or any other point of views, because the reasoning and end goal for the enemies/evil forces are always after Zelda and the Royal Family and of the history and legacy it all holds.
It looks like the little Tri-Force things behind Tri are how many Echoes you can have at a time, which will really help make it less overpowered
not number of echoes but echo power, some echoes cost more than one triangle power, that redead was like 4 triangles. You clearly level up and get more total triangle power to let you summon more/bigger things.
16:56
I am so glad someone besides me is hype! Every reaction I see to this announcement is indifferent. I absolutely loved this game! I am just so surprised that Nintendo got this game to run on the Switch. I know it is just a port, but how are they not overheating the system? I mean those graphics alone would make the Switch work overtime.
Felix went from living to thriving real quick 🎉
Zelda gets a game for herself the same year Peach gets another game, I love it!
They planned it that way
As an EU region fan, I can't wait to play Mario & Luigi Brothership Bros. Did you know they are related?
Ya second cousins I believe
As an Superstar saga 3ds fan I am SUPER HYPED FOR THIS GAME
No way they actually called it that in Europe. Though I’m now curious as to what the Japanese title is? RPG 6?
@@paperluigi6132 Maybe a little bit surprisingly, they kept the same subtitle for the JP version. So, the title is just マリオ＆ルイージＲＰＧ ブラザーシップ(Mario & Luigi RPG Brothership).
It's the silksong we never got
Who cares about Silksong?
I get the frustration of Hollow Knight fans, but after five years, repeatedly spamming the same thing seems rather pointless.
@@sparkypack
They've been repeating Prime4 Longer/
You definitely need to play Metroid Prime! (Also 2 and 3, fingers crossed we still get the remasters) They are all so damn good and 4 looks so incredible. Can't wait! Just so happy to see it :)
I'm a little sad there was no prime 2 remake shadowdrop in this direct. I guess i was expecting it a bit too much...
Are prime 2 and 3 essential for playing 4?? I have 1 remastered on switch and it’s really good so far
@euanjones7117
We don't know the story, sooo...
You could play 2 without playing 1, 3 I don't remember.
On a positive note, totally agree that this was a great Nintendo direct. Lots of things to be excited before.
This was also a great reminder why I don't typically watch reaction videos.
Felix, dude, stop screaming into my ears.
This is by far my favorite reaction video to the direct that I've seen. You guys are awesome.
In regards to Mario & Luigi and AlphaDream, yes the company went down but Nintendo (as they often do) swooped in and rehired most of the staff and funneled them into various studios both in-house and from their associates (Monolithsoft, Intelligent Systems & Next Level Games mostly).
So yeah, most of the OG creators still probably either worked on it or were in reach to ask advice on what to do.
What a direct!! So keen for 2D Zelda ❤❤❤
I'd say this was a smashing Nintendo Direct. So many games I am stoked for. M&L Brothership, Zelda, DQ 3 2D HD, Saga Frontiers, MvC Fighter's Collections, DK C Returns, STRAY and that Final Fantasy title that was apple exclusive! So friggen awesome looking forward to more titles.
i know everyone says stray looks horrible, but as someone who never got to play because i only own a switch i am SOOO hyped!!! i was so sad i couldn’t play it !! 🐈
I thought of Felix when SMP Jamboree popped up. Stoked!
God i just love seeing folks geek out about things they love 😊
Thr direct was way better than I thought it would be.
Seeing you guys react to Nintendo Directs is the best thing, specially as my reaction to this Direct was the same as Felix. Glad we are getting awesome games on the switch.
The Legend of Zelda: The Missing Link
I'm glad you uploaded your reactions
Such a brilliant direct! This is one of the happiest videos I've ever seen 😂
If you think it only said 2025 so they still need to announce the exact date so they can announce MP2 and 3 as a shadow drop when they release a new trailer with the date, also going for both consoles is in my opinion the smart move, not everyone will move to the switch 2 and that game was promise for the switch 1, also will show the difference in power.
Bingo
I'm living for these reactions!
Incredible!
Isn't Zion the voice narrator for the new Zelda game
Nintendo cooked. That's it. That's the comment.
The switch lives .........
Stray will probably look better when playing it on switch 2
This direct was phenomenal and the reactions too
That's so nice!
What a great reaction video!
If this is a launch title for the Switch successor, there better be Metroid special edition console.
"My answers has finally been heard"
Guess I am buying another round of vouchers:) it was a fun direct.
I am unbelievably excited for The Legend of Zelda with Zelda as the protagonist!
Such an amazing thing to happen the year I started transitioning!
Metroid theory: Since the Metroid Prime series is set before Super Metroid, the very-under-control "Metroids" behind Cylux could be his attempt at controlling them (he stole a baby metroid from the Federation) by creating Mochtroids, which ARE under his control.
The Legend of Zelda: And The Missing Link!
Felix being excited about a Mario Party game...I can't decide if it's sad or awesome, lol. Glad he's happy either way 😁
Mario & Luigi is back?!!! An RPG by Hironobu Sakaguchi!!! A new Mario Party!!! Prime 4!!!! Dragon Quest 1,2,3 HD 2D remake?!!! And we finally we play as Zelda again! I can clearly tell the gameplay for the new Zelda game is inspired by the Shiekah Slate mechanics. This direct is the BEST for the last 5 years!!!!!
Nintendo showed how to be great!❤❤❤❤❤
That kid don't even know how big Marvel vs Capcom is
He is called sylux and he is a a bounty hunter with a vendeta against the federation, and to samus because of the events in corruption. Looks like he took the metroid from the federations game and sold it to the space pirates for whatever reason.
Funny for me how Paper Mario was on console and Mario & Luigi was on handhelds. Next we need a cross game! "Paper Mario & Luigi" lol
Yeah how can they not give us Prime 2 and 3 on Switch
Me 🤝 Felix when Mario Party was announced - but fr gotta brace yourself and listen to the whole announcement cause they’ve messed up previous titles 🫠
welp, im playing prime 1-3 over again
I wish I got that excited over things 😐
Don't have a switch light ethier
Ok so, tje zelda copy power, looks like the amount of triangles behing tri, decrease depending on the amount needes in the item, the fish cost 2 triangles so 2 decreased from the tri tail
i saw a green buttton......next gen switch layout
Least desperate Nintendo fan /j
Play Metroid Prime, its top 5 games on the switch IMO.
Yes mr mario game again!! Certainly add this new game into my collection soon as possible!! 😍💝
It was a really great Direct. My only whining is the lack of Wind Waker - Twilight Princess HD, and the lack of Metroid Prime 2&3 Remastered. But there's always the next direct, right?
100% agreed
Next Direct could be in September or October, but maybe it would be more about the new console.
@@sparkypack I think so too. But hope springs eternal. Could be a last little gift for the Switch. I think Metroid Prime 2 and 3 must come out at some point before Prime 4. Would be weird if not, but stranger things happened with Nintendo. As of WW and TP, I just don't understand why they aren't released. Switch is, and will be for quite a while the most popular console, if it's about the profit, they must release it on Switch. I don't think they're big enough titles to held them back as exclusives for the next-gen console. So, not releasing them doesn't make much sense for me.
@@danielborza4399 yes, and for sure Switch will be supported for at least 2-3 years.
Hey you skipped Just Dance
Yes, it's to be skipped.
@@HarmonicWave No way it is meant to be
and here I was thinking I was just about done buying Switch games...
Part of me wishes Nintendo would just make a new traditional Zelda with mega dungeons, new and classic items, keys, and interconnected puzzle design. Instead, we’re getting beds and tables instead of a hookshot. I really hope Nintendo doesn’t step away from the original formula too much. There's nothing wrong with it; the original formula is still very strong and has a lot of potential.
They are setting it up to combine both styles with Zelda using summons and Link using items and traditional gameplay.
@@westonmeyer3110 That would be amazing!
I miss John
He's on a different reaction video lol
@@RachelXKnight666on CZcams?
@@sparkypack yes. He’s on the channel Good Vibes Gaming
@@RachelXKnight666 ok, thanks.
@@sparkypack you’re very welcome. Enjoy
I like how they completely skipped the Shire game. Literally no one cares 😂
I have a Mario and Luigi that came with my 3DS XL and HATED it, too much reading and not enough gameplay. This looks interesting.
I'm a 2D Mario fan and 3D Zelda fan but that Zelda looks really good! The art style is beautiful and I love the idea of the new gameplay.
Cmon, dream team is awesome!!
3DS Mario and Luigi games tend to be more controversial than the DS and GBA games. If you played a 3DS entry and didn't like it, you might still enjoy the new one. Dream Team specifically was infamous for tutorial after tutorial from the start of the game all the way until the credits
Legend of Zelda
The missing link 😂😂
yeah
Dont be silly , its still a zelda game
It's not "The Legend of Link" I know some may say it as a joke, but some are actually serious and wants it to be named Legend of Link, only one problem.. It's still ZELDA"S STORY, her history, her family, her land and her castle that is being sought after, attacked and the enemies main objective through and through, Link is just a chess piece and a loyal knight, but the cause of the battle is always about the royal family and the princess herself, that's why it'll never be called "Legend of Link" as long as the enemy forces are still after Zelda, what she holds, who she is and the royal family, then it'll always be her Legend, not Links, and since this game didn't start with any indications or sole story of Link's Legend in any sense and more about the captivity of Zelda is a significant reason behind it all, and thus Zelda taking it up upon herself to fulfill and fight it out of her own Legend this time around all with an additional purpose of course getting back her loyal knight, but is not solely based on getting Link back as the bigger troubles looms over Hyrule and her very existence that she also needs to stop.
Zzzzz.... TLDR
Touching of grass required...
The only announcement I'm excited for is the legend of Zelda echos of wisdom. I wish there'd be more real time strategy games the Nintendo switch online service has zero and they could add starcraft because starcraft was on the Nintendo 64.
Do wish the whole direct reaction was uploaded…never a fan of ‘highlights only’ reactions.
If Nintendo charges $60 for the DCK Returns, we will know for sure the level of their greed.
It will be a bit cheaper.. 59.99 😅
I am indifferent about the Metroid trailer...
It looks like they took the worst aspect of TOTK interface and put it into a topdown game...
Can someone explain why Zion always calls his girlfriend his “partner” ? Or is she not a woman?
Do you think I’m incorrect by referring to her as such? Does it really matter?
@@Ziondood - just seems like you’re going out of your way. If it doesn’t matter, why conceal the reason?
@@CJP.-pq3krthe real question is why are you prying into Zions personal life? Who cares what he calls them?
@@mercifulpancake5669 - it’s not personal though? He mentions it publicly? How else would I know? 😂
@@CJP.-pq3kr just because he mentioned a person really doesn't give you the right to start asking deeper questions about the person's gender identity. Kinda weird you're doubling down on it after he already asked you if it matters
7 years and prime 4 looks like a downgrade from remastered. What happened man.......
Not a fan of the graphics style. Its like cell shaded, but not? Not feeling it at all.
I wish people wouldn't call this legend of Link. The Zelda in The Legend of Zelda was the Zelda from the 2nd game. That title only applied to the first two games and the title just stuck for the series.
Why are people excited about playing as Zelda? This just shows that Link no longer has a purpose and is not needed. This may just be the start that leads to Link slowly being removed from his own series. The legend was a story about Zelda, but he was the hero of that story
Bro chill, the reason Zelda is playable in this new game is because Aounuma wanted to experiment with a new gameplay style, but if Link was the player character then players would expect his usual playstyle. Zelda has never been playable, so they were able to make any playstyle they wanted to, and it's clear they wanted to iterate on the freedom and experimentation of Tears of the Kingdom in a top-down Zelda setting. Link will be back in the next game like usual. Zelda's wand is cool and good for a one-off, but it can't prop up an entire series the way Link can with the Master Sword
@@bartsneezin You're only assuming he will be and maybe he will, but Aounuma wore a shirt with dead Link on it while he was presenting the game, what was he trying to tell us? In the game, Link just fell in a hole, he didn't die, but here in reality, the guy who controls the series is telling us he's dead.
In this age where people are encouraging strong women for no benefit (since strong women have no use in society), it's possible this is just another replacement of a male character.
@@bartsneezin Zelda can definitely hold her own, she is more than just a "princess", she can fight, she can demand, she can take control, and she has more power than anyone in the land of Hyrule, including Link. Hence the sole reasoning of the evil forces attacking in the first place and why it'll always be Zelda's legend and Zelda's Legacy, never was Links to begin with by any means, he was just a chess piece and loyal knight that fights for the royal family, to safe guard their history, legacy and their princess.
Not just a silly little princess with no backstory, history, or legend behind her. or else the games name "Legend of Zelda" wouldn't be made in the first place, and there are TONS of legends behind Zelda and her name alone, and with the royal family, it's why the games does extremely well telling the stories in many different points in time and different ways. It's a forever never-ending story, legend, legacy and great history of the land of Hyrule and the princess that rules over it all and her and her family stories that can be told for many years to come. Let alone if and when we get a mainline Zelda game with Zelda as the playable character can open up so many possibilities and would be amazing if it went that direction in the future.
I feel like both the people who replied to me are insane in two completely opposite ways
Switch 2 launch title Metroid Prime 4. Great call there. Hopefully we’ll be catching up a bit in performance and resolution on Switch2. I really hope it launches with an OLED version.
Grow up.

You don't know joy until you've seen Felix's reaction to Mario Party Jamboree
