While we’re talking about past Directs, what are some of your favorite trailers or announcements from Switch Directs? My top 5 would probably be,
1. Odyssey trailer from E3, so iconic with the reveal of the Cappy mechanic and the Pauline song.
2. Smash Bros teaser in March 2018, the Inklings were a great way to start it off and the Smash Ball in the inkling’s eye may be the best shock reveal Nintendo has done. It’s even got an arrangement of the main theme.
3. Metroid Dread reveal in 2021, full of awesome gameplay and the “Dread” name reveal was excellent.
4. King K. Rool reveal trailer in 2018, really everything from that Smash Direct but especially the well done Donkey Kong animation. The fakeout with Dedede is classic.
5. E3 2019 Zelda announcement, really just a teaser but drew me in immediately with its mysterious vibe.
Honorable mentions: Mario Maker 2 reveal with slopes, “Everyone Is Here” at E3 2018, Kirby trailer from 2021, etc.
