Give us a year of "seasonal content" and just keep repeating it every year. Then at least some of it won't be "lost" because of Nintendo's weird release habits.

Yeah I never got around to trying these and avoided the cloud versions like the plague. I'll happily grab this at some point, but not sure if I want to buy them all of try and stick to the "primary three". Anyone with a degree in Kingdon Hearts History care to elaborate on the essential titles for someone wanting to play the "main story" without getting caught in the weeds of all the weird midquels, prequels, and spinoffs?

I bought the OG Switch version and played for like 5 minutes due to time. Glad there is an upgrade before I got around to playing.

I do hope they work out the weird graphical shenanigans in the upgrade editions. Its reportedly not as much as in XBCX, but its wild the "boost mode" for the original performs better than the dedicated Switch 2 version.

This was my favorite announcement of the direct. I have been wanting to play all of these and was waiting for switch 2 versions. I will be picking up physical versions of each and probably keeping my unopened switch 1 copies as collectibles.

I loved Muramasa on the Wii and seeing it again was my favorite announcement of the direct. Surprised Stellar Blade was announced at all since Sony published it. I might hold off on getting Stellar Blade 2 Blood Rain and wait for a Switch 2 port if the 1st port is good.

Strange they skipped DMC4 for the Switch (2) and went to DMC5

I got a good laugh solely from watching a random youtube video on the history and death of Wuhu Island last month only to see it come back right away.

Glad to see the expected cloud games turning native switch 2 games and the unexpected announcement of 4. Time to finally get into Kingdom Hearts and see what I've been missing.

I was already going to be out of luck since I bought the Japanese cartridge anyway to have X-2 physically years ago.

I really don't like the design of Link. He looks like Hobbit crossed with a Disney character that feels uncanny to look at... Well to be fair, I also didn't like the design in the 3DS remake but that went away very fast once I started playing it.

I hope they really pack meat on the good bones that is OoT and fill every area with new side quests, MM style character stories/arcs/events, things to discover every time you visit, Malon courting to marriage side story, a Light dungeon, and fill Hyrule field with life and action. Alternatively they might go FF VII route and completely change how the story unfolds which means this is OoT - Bad End timeline. If it's the latter, I want all new dungeons and mechanics so it can stand on it's own.
