Astral Chain

DAMN this looks cool. We are getting a new scifi action IP from Platinum Games. Interdimensional monsters, crazy scifi setting, and cool robotic creatures? This was my favorite announcement in a Direct that included Super Mario Maker 2!

Zelda Link's Awakening

Nintedo ended the Direct with a tease for a new Zelda game. As we all sat expecting the Breath of the Wild sequel currently in devlopment, Nintendo trolled everyone with a Remake instead. While this game looks fun, and die hard fans are thrilled; it isn't what we really wanted.
