There was a lot to take in.
I didnt expect to seeKirby Air Ridereturn, nor the Game Boy Camera.
There were a lot of expected appearances Elden Ring, Breath of the Wild HDR, etc.
but Nintendo has even come up with its own version of Discord.
Despite all this, the best announcement of the hour-long presentation wasa GameCube game.

Naturally, I got very excited when The Wind Waker popped up during the presentation.
But somehow, even The Wind Waker announcement was overshadowed.
Not Stadium, although that is also making an appearance.
Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness is coming to the Nintendo Switch 2.
This game doesnt need better graphics, its framerate is fine.
It just needs to be accessible.
And now millions of Pokemon fans are going to get the chance to experience it for the first time.
Frankly, Im jealous.
Now the physical version will hopefully go down in price as well.
Becausehot damnthat thing is still disgustingly expensive.
Many people believe that Pokemon Colosseum is better than Gale of Darkness.
Many people would be wrong.
I preferred Gale of Darkness as a kid, so I have fonder memories of it now.
At least it looks like itll be getting somecool Mega Evolutions.
Now, I dont have to worry about Z-A.
My summer will be spent pretending Im 12.
There is no love lost for Mario Strikers: Battle League.
