Our Take
All in all, this probably isn't the Direct fans were expecting after last year's Switch reveal and grand software showcase. It looks like Nintendo is taking the first half of the year a little slow with focus on ports and third party support to fill in the gaps, but a lot of these look like great games that many people missed. Hopefully more of Wii U's hidden gems, like Tokyo Mirage Sessions, also get a second chance on Switch. Also, portable Dark Souls is hard to turn down.
