KoopaTV's September 4, 2019 Nintendo Direct LIVE REACTIONS!

By LUDWIG VON KOOPA - Poor soul.

Apparently unlike the rest of the world, I didn't like today's Nintendo Direct. And that's not contrarian nonsense. You can see my reactions to everything, as it happens, in the reaction log below.

They promised to show lots of Nintendo Switch games, including Pokémon Sword, Pokémon Shield, and Luigi's Mansion 3. ...Those games ended up being pretty unimportant, though.

Here's the video on demand that I'll probably need to replace soon because it's the live stream:


I'm all alone because I'm more of a poor soul than anyone from Banjo-Kazooie.

[5:50 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: 9 minutes left.

[6:06 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: "Little Town Hero"
[6:07 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Alright guess me trolling Samantha Lienhard's comments section didn't age well.
[6:07 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Town's protagonist is named Axe.
[6:07 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Wielding "Ideas"
[6:07 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: (As opposed to axes?)
[6:07 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Yo Axe is already a Super Smash Bros. player.
[6:07 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: All the music by Toby Fox???

[6:10 PM] Ryu: A bunch of cutscenes from SNK games
[6:10 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: "Terry Faces the Fury!"

Seeing King Slime again is literally the highlight of this Direct.

[6:15 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: "Tokyo Mirage Sessions Sharp FE Encore"
[6:15 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: For some reason, hearing Undertale associated with Town makes me not want to associate myself with Town anymore.
[6:15 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Deadly Premonition 2 coming to Nintendo Switch.
[6:15 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Deadly Premonition Origins available later today.
[6:16 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Where the hell is Rawk?

[6:20 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: (sounds gay)
[6:20 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: "You can camp anytime at Pokémon Camp."

"We will...eventually add more to the line-up."


Nintendo Switch Online SNES launch game list
Go play Yoshi's Island.

[6:24 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: No additional charge.

[6:24 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: $30.
[6:25 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Tetris 99 update, only for people who have won a match in Tetris 99. Ah well.

[6:26 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Paid DLC including extra local multiplayer modes, available tomorrow.
[6:26 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Mari0 & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020.
They claim these games have become a tradition of their own, ignoring that they skipped 2018.
[6:27 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: There's a story mode featuring a videogame that eats Bowser, Sonic, Dr. Eggman, and Red Plumber and sucks them into a 1964 Olympics thing.
[6:27 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: And they need to escape. Or something.
[6:29 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: They called The Witcher III a new game.
[6:30 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Here's a montage.
[6:30 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Featuring Just Dance 2020.
[6:30 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: This music hurts my ears.
[6:31 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: I think they picked it because it has finger snapping.
[6:31 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: And that goes along with the whole Switch snap motif.
[6:31 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Devil May Cry 2 coming out September 19, 2019.
[6:31 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: ...I guess Devil May Cry 1 sold well enough.
[6:31 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: ...Or they were planning that all along...
[6:32 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Tom Nook advertising the new Animal Crossing.
[6:32 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Dude looks like a retired Baby Boomer.
[6:32 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Deserted Island Getaway Package.
[6:32 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Sounds like some Jeffrey Epstein crap.
[6:32 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Featuring little girls.
[6:33 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Tom Nook gives you a smartphone full of bloatware.
[6:33 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: How does one craft a campfire with the fire already burning?
[6:34 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: This is one ugly character.
[6:35 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Girl pole-vaulting to get away from Jeffrey Epstein.


Animal Crossing New Horizons pole vault Villager black pink hair
Not even Epstein would want her, but she doesn't know that.

[6:37 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: I forgot it was called Animal Crossing: New Horizons.


Animal Crossing New Horizons skin colours tones black people
“Diversity is our strength.”
(Good for Villager being exhausted from that on the far-left.)

[6:37 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: last announcement of the day.
[6:37 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Well this is Breath of the Wild music but it's clearly Xenoblade.
[6:37 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Even I can tell.
[6:37 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: And that's before anime-Shulk appeared on screen.
[6:38 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: "Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition"
[6:38 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: 2020.
[6:38 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Is it coming out worldwide this time?
[6:38 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Banjo & Kazooie demonstration time.


This is part of the Direct, so we'll cover it too. Or I will. No one else is here.
Sort of the opposite of the tagline for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

[6:39 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: This was recorded 2 days after the Hero livestream.
[6:39 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: He's still talking about Hero.
[6:40 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Talking about how he holds his controllers.
[6:40 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: You know, you can use the GameCube controller.
[6:41 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts...
[6:41 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: "Currently a property of Microsoft" "as some of you may know"
[6:41 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: "Technically, they're a rival platform holder. Even so, they were happy" to let them in Smash.
[6:41 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: "The original game can now be played on Xbox One. Please, give the game a try. On Xbox."
[6:42 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: His livestream recorders are laughing.
[6:44 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: "Breegull is the species that Kazooie is"
[6:44 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: He just went through a bunch of Banjo's regular A moves and said they're named after Banjo-Kazooie moves from his games.
[6:44 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: B move is Egg Firing.
[6:45 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Side-special is Wonderwing. Invincible charging attack and beats anyone else's attack.
[6:45 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: You can only use it five times per stock.
[6:46 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: It loses to grab and shield.
[6:46 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Up-B is Shock Spring Jump.
[6:47 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: It's Mega Man's Up-B I guess.
[6:47 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: And/or Sonic's.
[6:47 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Down-B: Rear Egg. "Fire a grenade out of his backpack."
[6:47 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: ...Yeah...backpack...


Banjo & Kazooie Rear Egg Super Smash Bros. Ultimate football grenade taunt
This is how people are going to taunt at you in Quick Play.


[6:48 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Final Smash: The Mighty Jinjonator
[6:49 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: This rotating stage is disorienting.
[6:49 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: BAN.
[6:50 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Banjo & Kazooie vs. Diddy Kong + Donkey Kong CPUs.
[6:50 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: "Note we're playing with items on."
[6:51 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: "I'm at quite a disadvantage." - Sakurai says as he's winning.
[6:51 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: "I guess I should be explaining all their moves, huh? Ooh. Ouch!"
[6:51 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Not really an explanation.
[6:51 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: THAT NEUTRAL-AIR.
[6:51 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: OVERPOWERED
[6:52 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Banjo & Kazooie won with two stocks.
[6:52 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: "Guh huh!" - Sakurai

[6:53 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Sakurai refers to every character who appears in the background as a "poor soul."
[6:53 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Sakurai recommends you get a game over in Banjo-Kazooie.
[6:54 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Some guy in the background keeps laughing hysterically.
[6:54 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: 10 music tracks. 7 are new arrangements.
[6:55 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: "I've always thought that getting this for $5.99 is a fantastic deal." (Future DLC to cost more?)
[6:55 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: First time Sakurai has worked with a musician outside of Japan (Grant Kirkhope). "He did an absolutely wonderful job."
[6:55 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Version 5.0 update?
[6:56 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Tell me more.
[6:56 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: "We've added a new game mode. Pretty much the final new mode!"
[6:56 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Oooooh.
[6:56 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Home Run Contest.
[6:56 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Yikes Sandbag is getting wrecked this time.
[6:57 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: "It's been POWERED UP" from previous titles.
[6:57 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: The bat doesn't appear until 4 seconds in.
[6:57 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: RIP bat drops.
[6:57 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Sakurai hopes that you play with your friends, instead of playing two fighters with one person.
[6:58 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Mii Fighter Costumes...
[6:58 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: aka deconfirm fest
[6:58 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Goemon
[6:58 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: uh oh
[6:59 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Proto Man
[6:59 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: uh ohhh
[6:59 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: ZERO

[7:00 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Available later today for $.75 each.
[7:00 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: THE THING IS ENDING WITH UNDERTALE MUSIC.
[7:00 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Toby Fox made the arrangement.
[7:00 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: "Toby has actually visited my house."
[7:01 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: "Of all the guests, he was probably the strongest."
[7:01 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Better than Sakurai.
[7:01 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Oh, new amiibo?
[7:01 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Squirtle!
[7:01 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Ivysaur!
[7:01 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Snake.
[7:01 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Available September 20.
[7:01 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Well I do want a Squirtle and Ivysaur amiibo I think.
[7:02 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Terry Bogard gets a section.
[7:02 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: "There was hardly any in-game footage."
[7:02 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: "Some of you may wonder where the in-game footage is."
[7:02 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: (It's not ready but here's a sneak peak.)
[7:02 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: ...Well that was fast.
[7:03 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Sakurai is wondering how long he's going to be working on this game.
[7:03 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: "We will bring more game worlds together."
[7:03 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Just get Phoenix Wright in there and stop.
[7:03 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Or just stop now.
[7:04 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: "There may never be another opportunity" for another Smash Bros. with this many franchises.
[7:04 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: So he wants to keep working on this.
[7:04 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: SNK Corporation now in copyright statement.
[7:05 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Finally over.
[7:05 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: That was torture.
[7:06 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Well, I obviously can't play Smash Bros. ever again.
[7:06 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: At least not online.
[7:07 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: I'd rather see Hitler Miis than Sans.
[7:08 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Well, I guess this is a good thing.
[7:08 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: I have a backlog after all.
[7:08 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Better I play some other games.
[7:08 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: And not Smash.
[7:08 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: And not pretty much anything they talked about in that Direct.
[7:08 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Now Town is ruined, too.
[7:08 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: TOWN.
[7:08 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Or whatever the new name is.
[7:08 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Little Town Hero.
[7:08 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Was better as just Town.
[7:08 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Screw this I'm playing Fire Emblem: Three Houses.



Ludwig is also going to eat some ice cream. Actually, all he has is frozen yogurt. ...Good enough. Feel free to try to convince Ludwig in the comments section why his intuitive live reactions are wrong and he should actually like this Direct.


The previous non-E3 Nintendo Direct was February 13, 2019. Check out the reactions here!
If you want to learn how to play Team Kirby Clash Deluxe on the 3DS in the most optimal way, click here. (It's almost identical to the Switch version.)
Ludwig fears the implications of even more DLC fighters.
Ludwig has to play Super Smash Bros. Ultimate online again because there's another Nintendo-sponsored tournament right after.
Ludwig goes into more detail about the new Pokémon announcement.
The SNES games announcement is enough to make Nintendo Switch Online worth your investment.
Terry gets a full reaction log to himself here.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons also gets its own dedicated Direct.
The kinda-next Nintendo Direct is the Nintendo Direct Mini published over half a year later.
The next big Nintendo Direct was live-reacted to in... February 2021! Whoa!

  1. "[7:06 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Well, I obviously can't play Smash Bros. ever again."

    That is me when Sora is released and we all know now that is inevitable.

    I assume this advice is outdated now? https://www.koopatv.org/2019/01/how-to-play-games-with-awful-characters.html

    1. Oh crap I wrote that. >_>;

      "Speaking of cruelty, it turns out that fighting against Chrom is really, really fun in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Especially with his voice-acting. He tries to act all tough, “OUT OF MY WAY!” “I'LL END YOU!” “NOW I'M MAD!” And then you can easily knock him off the stage and then he's all, “Sorry!” What a total loser. Killing Chrom is very cathartic. He's such a joke that he's one of the only characters to get a nerf in version 2.0.0!

      PAC-MAN, however, is a total pain in the shell to fight against. Still, not many people play as PAC-MAN since he's unpopular and unliked. I actually block people online if they do, unless they're terrible and then it's catharsis again. Then I don't have to deal with PAC-MAN players, and by extension, PAC-MAN! That's one way you can avoid the presence of losers."

      At the time I wrote that article, I didn't know there was a limit of only 100 people on the Nintendo Switch block list. (I found out by trying to block a 101st person.)
      So I cleared my block list of people who were blocked over a year ago and hopefully that'll leave room for anyone acting like a fool with Sans. ...Which may be over 100 people.
      So best play other things for now...

  2. Honestly, the SNES games coming to Nintendo Switch Online announcement was the highlight of the Direct for me. None of the major reveals appealed to me since I am not huge into RPGs or whatever Undertale can be classified as. I was really hoping for some Mario Maker DLC the most, but I suppose that will come in due time.

    1. The highlight actually is the SNES games, though not necessarily the current set that's there, but for the potential of where that's going.

      Though if I haven't played Yoshi's Island a million times already, I'd be SUPER-PSYCHED.

      Delete
    2. I agree. Although, I do admit, Definitive Xenoblade DOES give me a second chance to get into that game that I might just avail myself of...

      Delete
  3. Deadly Premonition and them just casually dropping a Deadly Premonition 2 announcement on us was probably the best part.

    I wasn't going to get Xenoblade, until I learned there might be restored content. Now I might have to, since I loved Xenoblade.

    I'm conflicted about Tokyo Mirage Sessions since I have it for the Wii U and still haven't played it.

    Oh, and I'm sure they planned to bring Devil May Cry 2. Ever since they announced Devil May Cry on its own, instead of the trilogy collection every other console got, people were predicting they'd release all three separately to get more money.

    1. I'm surprised you didn't comment on the part you got name-dropped in.

      Alright, so DMC2 is $20, and DMC1 is $20, so DMC3 will be $20.

      I suppose people viewing the compilation on other systems at $60 are gonna be upset.

      Delete
    2. Oops, forgot about it. XD Yeah, when they revealed it in the Nintendo Direct, I almost sent you a message saying "Told you so" but decided against it.

      *cough* People viewing the compilation on other systems at $30.

      Delete
    3. I'm happy that you trust me enough to be able to tell myself, "She told me so."

      ...Yeah, that's what I meant, the compilation is $30 but they're looking at their own individual releases at a combined $60.
