I liked the Direct, even though new announcement for first party were pretty much all remakes, but since Switch is my first Nintendo console, I loved all those announcements.
On one hand, FUCK YEAH TTYD is one of if not THE greatest Mario RPG of all time. I'm 100% buying this because it's a fantastic game and I want more games like it to come.
On the other hand, it's been over a decade sense the original game was released, and one thing I've always fantasized about when this game eventually would be remade, was the concept of a Luigi's Compass side mode to add extra content to the game. It looks like that idea has been thrown out in favor of an HD improvement to graphics.
Which while I imagine took ages with dozens of people working really hard to perfect... But to be honest, I prefer the old graphics. It's a bit like making a live-action remake of a classic animated film.
